Ahem, so I have some personal news about Plinky.
they really set out to be as petty about this as possible, huh https://developer.apple.com/support/storekit-external-entitlement-us/

"Why don't people want to pay for streaming anymore?" cry the companies who split streaming into 40 different services that keep increasing in cost while randomly removing content without warning, and shoving ads into our paid services.

Yup, sure is a mystery. A real head scratcher.

Xcode 15 is fucking train wreck and I can't believe Apple isn't behaving like it’s actively on fire.

on an iPhone XR, plugged in, it takes about 5 seconds between Obscura launching and being able to capture a photo.

on a 15 Pro Max, plugged in via USB-C, it takes 48 seconds to do the same.

It's infuriating, and makes trying to get anything done almost futile.

🎉 Swift OpenAPI Generator 0.3.0 is out, with fully streaming HTTP bodies, standardized HTTP currency types, and more ergonomic generated API!

With this release, you'll be able to implement large file upload/download, and even JSON event streams!

Swift OpenAPI Generator 0.3.0 Released (Swift HTTP Types, streaming bodies, shorthand APIs)

We’re happy to announce that Swift OpenAPI Generator 0.3.0 was just released! Since it went open source in May 2023 with version 0.1.0, Swift OpenAPI Generator merged almost 150 pull requests, released 17 patch updates, and introduced support for several new features. It wouldn’t be possible without over a dozen new contributors who filed great issues, dove into the code and opened pull requests, provided feedback on proposals, and helped prioritize which issues need to get addressed first bas...

Maybe the internet being mostly five corporate websites for the past 15 years was a really bad idea.

tl;dr: every question + answer from #WWDC23’s #SwiftUI Slack Digital Lounge 🤯

WWDC week is... complicated. I set time aside on the weekend to catch up. A few mins in, I was gasping for breath out of Slack. So, I decided to once again act. The process wasn’t as painful as last year though, because what was unpacked — for an adolescent indie shop — made it easily our favourite ever Dub Dub.

A big thank you to the SwiftUI team for their time, wisdom and brilliance <3

WWDC 23 was our favourite ever yet

Last year was our first WWDC. We had gone all-in on SwiftUI at this stage. Although there were plenty of additions and improvements to the framework, our iOS 16 update was underwhelming. But that’s about to change. We predict our iOS 17 update will significantly level up our UX.

App Review needs to be abolished. Apple continues to needlessly incinerate developer goodwill at a time when they really should be doing everything in their power to garner it: https://post.lurk.org/@lucas/109940108058150651

I was supposed to launch Pagi for iPad today, but Apple didn’t let me, so I wrote this little blog post about it, to get the frustration off my chest. https://lucas.love/blog/pagi-app-store
