I work on the LA Wallet team @ Envoc.

In my free time I have a dev blog, run the Louisiana Historical Markers app, record/release music (under various pseudonyms), and start side projects I know I’ll never finish.

Just let the #AI of EAP6 of #JetBrainsRider 2023.2 generate the commit message for me for the first time. It was perfect on first try, I couldn't have written a better one. And even if I could have, I probably never would have.

The only critique I might have is that it didn't respect the maximum line length for commit message (hence the squiggly underlines).

@shantini I’ve been using phanpy.social - a web client for mastodon. It groups boosts into a “boost carousel” so if you aren’t feeling like catching up on boosts you can just scroll on by and they only take up one posts worth of space.

@jlaban Thanks for reaching out! Uno Platform has been part of our discussions. The web aspect is interesting but not compelling - we have a fairly stable/mature ecosystem targeting the web.

Our understanding is that Uno’s iOS and Android support is built on the .NET native wrappers. How quickly are new platform updates typically available in Uno?

I have a fun idea to commission some of the artists who did Apollo icons to create some really cool final Apollo wallpapers to remember the app by. Is this something you'd pay a few bucks for, where the proceeds would go toward Apollo's refund fees?

I've found myself in lots of discussions lately around what to do now that #XamarinForms has a hard EOL deadline. Curious to know: what is the broader #MobileDev community using for writing #iOS and #Android apps?

There are tons of choices, so I'm interested to know what your teams are using and why (especially if you picked "other").

Boosts appreciated! 🚀

@macmajewski Interesting. That’s not too far from one approach we’ve entertained. Good to know that people are having some success with a move like this!
Austin Jun 23, 2023

@macmajewski That’s genuinely heartening to hear. Did you find that devs had to specialize in one or the other? Or are people generally able to contribute to both apps?

Our teams for our mobile apps have typically been fairly small, so specialization is something that might be problematic for us (at least the way we operate today).

@benkuly JetBrains Compose is the only one that's been recommended so far that I hadn't even heard of. Any thoughts on what it's advantages are over other x-plat frameworks?
