Exploring SwiftUI, Godot, Elden Ring, Tears of the Kingdom

I'm about to say something I haven't said in 8 years: I'm looking for a full-time job.

I'm looking for the right role with the right people and the right mission, all of which I've laid out in this blog post. I'm mostly interested in something new, so if this sounds like your team I'd love to talk. https://fabisevi.ch/2026/04/29/open-to-work

Both inquiries and reposts would be incredibly appreciated. 🙇🏻‍♂️

Open To Work

I won't bury the lede, I'm looking to go back to work full-time. I'm thankful to not be under financial strain, so I'm not rushing into anything. Instead I'm coming at this from a place of genuine interest in finding the right opportunity for me. Recently I've had some great conversations with interesting companies, and it helped me realize that there are some things I miss about not being an indie. I'm putting this post out into the universe to find the right fit, and the best place to start is to tell you why I'm going back to work and what I'm looking for.

What's our roadmap? We're just remaking the original iPhone home screen apps… one at a time.

How to design a GDPR-compliant cookie banner:

  • Have a 'reject all' button that is as easy to press as the buttons that grant consent.
  • Test your site with no consent for user tracking.
  • Realise that all of the tracking bits are unrelated to site functionality.
  • Remove them.
  • Remove the cookie banner.
  • 3D folks, I'm trying to find a good formal definition of "manifold" and "watertight" in relation to meshes.

    Most definitions say something like "every edge is connected to exactly two faces", but that would imply that an inside-out mesh, a self-intersecting mesh, or a pair of triangles connected back-to-back (with zero volume) would also be manifold.

    Is there a definition somewhere that covers these cases? And what is the difference between "watertight" and "manifold", or are they synonyms?

    Concentricity
    Demosaicing
    "If you don't have an Apple Watch you will die" is quite the marketing campaign.

    GitHub's UI has become unusably slow in the latest versions of Safari.

    So much for the web having standards.

    I still reckon a decent desktop client would be preferable to how bad most web apps are these days.

    Wasn't expecting to have to write my own nonLossyASCII decoder today (because Apple apparently broke theirs?) but there we go.

    I might actually be able to ship this update!
