I had the honor and privilege of working with Dair Grant at Feral.

He left us way, way too soon. My deepest condolences to his family, his wife and his boy. He fought a brave battle with glioblastoma (a deadly form of brain cancer).

When my time comes, I hope to have a fraction of the clarity and stoicism that he exhibited during his struggle.

@jamesthomson messaged you on Instagram! Please could you take a look?

I think we can all agree that this is peak design
I love #Mastodon, but I hate all of the weird Newspeak people use. It’s not “birdsite,” it’s Twitter. It’s not “Space Karen,” it’s Elon. If you use weird terms you made up, people can’t easily mute them who don’t want to see that stuff.
This is really hacky (esp the part where he uses dispatch async in UIKit’s hit test code) but so far the only solution I’ve seen for real UIKit +SwiftUI any-shape touch pass-through. Great hack, Christian!

it really REALLY annoyed me how UIHostingController caught all touches, when the background was clear and there wasn’t any SwiftUI views there. so I made a quick package to fix it:

Do SVGs not preserve shadows in Xcode?
