Playing around with liquid glass on custom shapes. This is regular glass with a 10% pink tint.
You need a background for the glass effect to work.
The highlight effect seems to be using a Capsule shape and not the provided shape so it looks a bit weird.

If you use the Wordpress REST API you might want to know that sticky posts are being returned in API requests even when they don't match the query.

Swift concurrency error in XCode 16.2 beta 3. The onPreferenceChange closure is now Sendable which means (unless I'm missing something) we can no longer modify main actor properties.
I hope this closure can instead use @.MainActor because otherwise this is going to cause some big problems.
