If you're interested in funding or helping us find funding for a Discord replacement that's federated and end-to-end encrypted, we're interested in implementing that at @spritely ... we even had been talking about that being our big focus for 2026.

We have the skills and the underlying tech to pull this off. What we need right now is resources. Funding for open source nonprofits like ours really fell apart in 2025. If you think you know how to help, feel free to reach out.

Swift’s string interpolation system is more powerful than it first appears. Beyond simple value substitution, it can be extended to apply custom logic when values are interpolated. I’ve published a post showing how it can be done: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/DefiningCustomStringInterpolationBehaviorInSwift
#Swift #iOSDev

Defining custom string interpolation behavior in Swift

Extend Swift’s string interpolation to define custom behavior, such as value formatting, directly inside string literals.
