Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Source code and a downloadable app to try it yourself: https://github.com/samhenrigold/LidAngleSensor

After over a decade of iOS development I just learned something new from @kc :

You can long-press on the back button in the navigation bar to reveal menu of all views in the navigation path and jump to any of them directly. 🤯

Of course, this only works if you use a native navigation structure and gave your views appropriate titles, otherwise the menu item titles will not be helpful.

Check your apps and see whether this shortcut is actually useable in your app. ;)

Attached: 1 image Wusstet ihr, dass man, wenn man auf iOS einen Zurück-Button lange gedrückt hält, eine Liste mit den verschachtelten Views bekommt und dann auf die gewünschte Ebene zurückspringen kann? Damit das funktioniert, muss man einem NavigationView einfach einen Titel geben. Entwicklungsaufwand: 1 Minute. Ansonsten ist das, wie bei der Tagesschau, vielleicht kaputt.
