Still an Apple serf, but everything on the App Store is free because I don't want to contribute to their political bribery supply chain (aside from the hundred dollars per year developer-rejection fee). Sharing Swift tips and Apple criticism here, other topics and cat photos on other accounts.

SwiftCrossUI v0.3.0 brings a few SwiftUI feature parity improvements, some bug fixes, and perhaps most notably for users, a huge amount of documentation improvements by Kaleb Ascevich.

Development has been a little bit quiet since v0.2.1 (around 2 weeks ago) because I've been focussing more on Swift Bundler, in particular getting it ready for its v3.0.0 release, and improving Windows support.

I still have my original AirPods Max ... and looking at the specs, I will not be renewing them. I don't believe for a second that the value and quality of this product is anywhere near the price (579 €).

For me this is targeted at folks who want to feel premium good "because I paid a lot of money for it" and that's it.

Also, corps like Apple currently dismantling democracy around the world do not need the extra revenue.
