The mental rabbit hole I’ve been prodding. Could I use ImGui via a C bridging layer, from Swift?

It’s an idea that won’t quit, which means I’ll likely FAFO soon 🫠

I moved all of my private code out of GitHub a couple of years ago, to ForgeJo. It’s been a stable, simple existence since then.

There’s other repository choices out there other than GitHub, and I’m glad!

Booting up with rainbows 🌈

I’m pulling together GoVJ’s next release, and then it’s all about a new app for a few weeks

I’m trying to regain a sense of control in what I do. It’s exciting, and a little bit scary if I’m honest

I’m hoping you all come with me as I do this thing ❤️

It’s winter here in New Zealand. Frost has laid itself outside, a shiny carpet for my camera to capture.

I took a moment this morning to capture a thought and vibe.

Replaced an air filter unit in our roof space for the duct system we have. Spider webs, cramped space. 1/10 would not recommend
No doubt there’s some edges there, but, I’d certainly be giving it a good look for something new

Being able to compile libraries in KMP for iOS/Mac in Linux, means being able to use (often cheaper) Linux runners on CI.

It also means creating an SDK that wraps networking calls up to an API something that can be done in a single codebase. If I had a project that didn’t rely directly on Apple’s on frameworks to run, I might consider this route.

Watching the Kotlin conf livestream, and it’s awesome to see relatively decent AI integration, investment in Multiplatform tooling, and good connections with the community and open source.

Much like last year, it’s refreshing in comparison to how stale WWDC/state of the union updates have seemed to me in recent years.

#KotlinConf

After an afternoon with QT, I ended up going back to KMP + Compose Multiplatform in Android studio. I may go back and prod some more, but I think committing to getting a POC on KMP/CMP may be a better use of my time
