It’s very sad to hear #pocket is going offline.
It was my favorite app for a very long time and my first big sideproject was to automate delivering your articles as magazines to Kindles!
During college that was one of the big places I always wanted to work at.

The whole argument of Facebook eavesdropping you to show ads is just a fallacy of people thinking they’re so unique you would have to spy on them to know they want a Switch 2.

I always do vibe coding.
I don’t code when the vibes are off, which is pretty much every day.

The discussion about there being too many stray cats on the streets causing havoc on the environment is completely wrong.
The real problem is that there’s few rats on the streets to keep cats entertained.
We need more rats on the streets.

I’ve been frankly unimpressed by OpenAI/Anthropic’s thinking models for coding tasks.
They take 10x the time and produce barely better results than non-thinking ones.
…
Maybe that’s close to what we coders do.

Not that I’ve been a victim of it myself (at least there) but feels like the indie app scene in Threads is incredibly toxic with people just calling out each other copycats for whatever reason.
Calm down guys, it’s just task manager apps.

Sometimes I just do #SwiftUI components because I like the challenge without any clear purpose.
Here’s a marquee that also supports manual scrolling. That last part in particular was tricky than I expected given that for some reason `.scrollPosition` does not report user scrolls.

The next release of Long Ago is packed with new themes.
I added a bunch of color themes inspired by the colors of my native Mexico and my adoptive PNW.
Also you can finally choose a different light and dark theme!

I love Swift Charts.
The API is incredibly descriptive and easy to use.
The more I work with #SwiftUI the more I appreciate it. Sure, some bugs are very obscure, but the momentum you get when you start working with it is amazing.
So many new features shipped and in progress!
