Anybody working with gesture recognizers ?

Kathy Tafel @kathytafel.bsky.social · 12d

@elkraneo.bsky.social pointed out a nice bug in my app. I thought I had found the culprit in the new "interactiveContentPopGestureRecognizer" on navigation controller. I tried every which way to turn this off and capture it in the delegate methods but failed. And I see a lot of other people...

Interesting post spotted on Reddit.
Text size too small continues to be a loud drum most developers are ignoring.
#accessibility

Reddit post. The title reads Games have a lot of accessibility options now, so what happened to text size.
The summary reads, I have the ability to turn off spiders, but most games have zero options to increase text size. Tiny 7pt font on my screen I am somehow expected to read...

I made a starter pack of people that have either helped me with technical problems or that I've seen help others. Though it could be cool share.

(I kinda hate that you are forced to include yourself in these things but whatever)
