I'm Amy Worrall. I am an indie app developer. I live in Coventry (UK). In my spare time, you can usually find me writing fiction, or making amateur theatre happen. 🏳️⚧️
I'm genuinely considering it... except the drawer border doesn't seem to handle dark mode. And I just checked, it's the same for the one remaining drawer in Mail!
While I'm investigating old stuff… turns out that custom bindings in the interface builder inspector still work in Xcode 26, via @IBDesignable and `exposeBinding()`!

Vector maths is complicated. I'm trying to expand strokes to paths, but in a way that I can work with them for things like clipping masks, but also output three different weights and still end up with the same number of points on each one.
Currently I'm generating loads of points. I'd like to do it with fewer, but I'm getting stuck trying to meet all the correctness requirements…
Trying to decide about how to manage liquid glass support. Dark mode UI with a light canvas and NSRulers on my scroll view all combine to look fairly janky…
Maybe I should wait and test on Golden Gate before deciding too much.
