My app “The Assembler” is now available on iPhone, iPad and Vision Pro!
Of all my projects, this is my favorite one, if you try it, I hope you like it too! 🫂🤩
I originally made it as an iPad app for Swift Student Challenge 2022, and it’s come so far since then.

Exploring more on widgets and now that I have some bugs I can’t really diagnose/reproduce (yet), I am thinking I should take this a step further and think about watch complications. I want to figure out how the Smart Stack works, and how I can get my apps to show things there…

So yesterday the weather was great, so I booked a tee time to play golf today (next available) and today the weather is somewhere between tshirts, raincoats and winter clothes.

Just updated to Tahoe.
Oh god what is this?????? I didn’t think it would be bad, 26 turned out okay-ish in the actual release. What happened to Xcode? Why is this window floating there? Where do these buttons belong to? None of this makes any visual sense. Why is the navigation not part of the app?

Me: why is everything so dusty?
People who can adult: you have to dust.
Me: what, like annually?
Adults: no, more like weekly.
Me: that can’t be right.

Tech startup idea: instead of starting your car with your key, you get in, turn on the display panel, enter your password, get your phone out, open the authenticator app, enter your pin, enter the timed passcode, then open the start menu, then helpdesk, then "request engine start", then submit a tic

Today is my first day as an intern at LEGO in Billund and I still can’t really believe it.
I’m nervous but also excited! 🤩🫨🥳

Ok ok, so AppIntentTimelineProvider uses async/await, but it also sorta requires the widget to be editable. (have customization) So if my widget is static, I use TimelineProvider, but then I get completion handlers and no async/await? I don’t want to loose that, am I missing something here? 🙁

I just made a widget! My first widget!
Actually this was kinda fun, but I’m unsure how to debug it. I don’t yet get how I can check that I’m not refreshing too often or that I’m not hitting other limits…

I’m packing my things to move again but for how often I’ve moved I’ve become worse and worse with packing.
I’m moving to Billund in Denmark.
What things do I pack? It’s cold probably but like also will I need pullovers? It’s all over the place but I packed 30 different paint boxes. Awesome.

Omg. My app is #3 in the paid AppStore charts in Germany today. #1 in payed education charts. 🤩🤯😱
(It’s a timetable app for vocational students in Lower Saxony, and it’s payed so a bit easier, schools currently start here so that’s why, ranked before but never that high.)

Played a golf tournament toady, I knew that one of my flight partners cheats, I’ve played with them before and they heavily miscount (7 strokes on 9 holes missing) they cheated so bad they won the tournament back then. This time they only miscounted once until arguing broke out.

I hate the Google AI over views because sometimes I read it and believe it only to realize that it’s wrong. I googled where Stephen Colbert is from, and the AI thinks he’s from south California. He’s not. At least I think he’s not. I’m now doubting myself more after googling this. Thanks.

Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.
Can't stress this enough: nobody fucking cares what he was up to

I’ve made it to Barcelona! Not sure what I want to do here, but I’m thinking breakfast might be good for starters. Does anyone have some tips as to what I should see? I have some ideas, but no real plans, and I’m only here for a couple days.

I made an iMessage app. It’s sending images at a terrible quality. But it works.

Apple Intelligence just summarized an email as “appointment rescheduled to Monday” and think “that’s great!” and I open the email to see what time, and the email says “appointment not rescheduled, we will drop things off at postbox” WTF??? That’s the exact opposite of the summary???

Working with icon composer. I love it!😍 I like the new icon I made, but I sadly can’t really use it. In iOS 18 it’s either completely white, as all glass effects are removed and replaced by solid white, or when I use the export, they have the wrong corner radius.

I finished my bachelors today! 🥳🥳
I’m super happy and proud that I got a 1.0 on my thesis and presentation. (My whole grade will be closer to 1.6 probably) 🤩🥳 I’m excited for what’s ahead and will start studying for a masters degree in autumn.
