Are you struggling to track the size of your .xcassets?  
Or wishing there was something like Storybook for iOS/macOS UI?

Xcode doesn’t really give you a great way to explore your assets.

I was facing the same problems.

So I built NSAssets — now live on the App Store 🚀

Would love your feedback 🙌

After a thoughtful nudge, I have renamed my "Lock" package to use the term "Gate". And while I was in there, I updated a bunch of things, including finally getting a recursive gate working!

I have found this kind of tool incredibly useful for managing actor reentrancy with Swift Concurrency.

I initially planned this as a short post on socials, but it quickly evolved into a blog. So here’s my recommended reading list to get you from Zero to Hero in Swift Concurrency. It’s mostly based on my personal learning journey, with some adjustments that work better for 2026.

Featuring works of:

The book was first published by A Book Apart in 2017 but it holds up! It covers web accessibility for designers, developers, content folks, and really everyone who works in tech.

🚀 Performance update on SwiftFindRefs
A few days after sharing the first release, I got feedback from a friend who uses SwiftFindRefs:
“This should be much faster.”
Challenge accepted 😄
Before → After
• Wall time: 17.2s → ~4.2s (≈ 75% faster)
• CPU time: ~10.3s → ~5.0s
• CPU usage: 60% → 106–140% (hello, multi-core 👋)
• Results: identical (136 files found)
Same answers. Much faster 🚀
