MistKit 1.0.0-beta.2 is out. 📦

CloudKit Web Services from Android, Windows, Linux, and server-side Swift — now reaching the parts people assume you can't:

- Push notifications + subscriptions (APNs tokens too)
- Full Zones API (create/delete/fetch changes, discover/validate)
- assets/rereference
- Batch auto-chunking
- Typed FieldValue scalars + loud conversion failures

It's the code behind my Swift Craft CloudKit talk. 210⭐, 1.0 getting close.

iOS Pro Tip

Settings > iCloud Account > Subscriptions lets you cancel a subscription with a couple taps.

I think iCloud.com is a pretty cool thing that goes completely under the radar. I know plenty of people who have no idea it exists. It's Apple web apps that provide a ton of things that you'd usually have to use your Mac/iPhone for, but actually work in any browser. Pages(!), Numbers, KeyNote(!), Mail, Calendar, AB, Drive, etc.
It's actually surprisingly good and nice, give it a try if you have an Apple-ID: https://iCloud.com

Log in to iCloud to access your photos, mail, notes, documents and more. Sign in with your Apple Account or create a new account to start using Apple services.

I’m glad Claude sees the full picture because I’m entirely confused about life in general.
