When someone you follow boosts a post that contains an idea counter to your opinions, that could feel one step removed from what you signed up for. That being said, don’t you want to hear what is shared with you by someone you follow?

Consider your urge to reject that idea. Your mind is just trying to deal with how that idea contradicts your perspective. Let yourself wrangle with that. You can still reject it, but given a little time, you might understand why it was shared to begin with.

How to Build Modern Parallax & Scroll Effects in SwiftUI

Parallax and scroll-reactive interfaces are everywhere in modern iOS design. You see them in: Apple...

People who think programming in natural language is a good idea haven't spent much time dealing with the legal system.

If you are iOS/iPadOs/macOS user, Tapestry is awesome.

I use it to get my Mastodon and Bluesky timelines (native).

But I also use rss.app to create RSS feeds and add them to Tapestry to follow some users from Threads.

But I also use xcancel.com to do the same thing for some Twitter accounts.

But you can also add blogs, Reddit users, subreddits, Tumbler... (I don't, but you can).

100% recommended.

Blogged: Fast Thumbnails with CGImageSource

Fast Thumbnails with CGImageSource

When working with images, we rarely need to show them at full size — most often ist’s rather as a thumbnail or preview. Using fully loaded images for this is quite slow, so we implemented a thumbnail cache. While modernizing this component, I remembered user reports about slow image loading.

If Apple still had courage they would've opened the keynote with this. @atpfm

Anyone else encountering a problem where ios26-only builds are being rejected because of transparency in the app icon created by Icon Composer?

iOS26 - ITMS-90717: Invalid large … | Apple Developer Forums

Man, this is rough to see. Especially for a company that’s been around long enough that I used dialup at my parents’ house to check their site.

But also, I want to plug that @Iconfactory’s latest app, Tapestry, which is probably my favorite newish app for iOS in ages. It’s such a better way to find wonderful things to read or keep track of subreddits. It’s great, you should try it.

Weaving your favorite blogs, social media, and more into a unified and chronological timeline.

The more time I spend with Liquid Glass, the more I don't understand Alan Dye's and the design team's obsession with minimizing UI chrome and "prioritizing content" instead.

With collapsed tab bars in iOS 26, it now takes me two taps to switch between Library and Music.

Is that…better? The animations are gorgeous, sure. But does it actually *work* better? 🤔
