Fun little weekend project. 😁

There seems to still be a good enough amount of community support for Realm Cocoa that I intend to keep using it for all of my side projects. 🫡

As such, I decided to see if I could use Claude to resurrect the Realm Browser: a native macOS app for browsing the contents of Realm files I was briefly in charge of back in 2017.

Updating all the Realm APIs would have taken me hours. Claude did it in 5 minutes. 🤯

Before and After shots:

“Would you like a Singleton Highball?”

“Is this an Objective-C reference?”

“A what?”

“Never mind.”

Quick little new iOS framework from me! 🎉

I love the FLEX library. It came in absolute clutch when working on Instagram for iPad, during which debugging incorrectly sized and positioned UIViews was very common.

I've been wanting to use FLEX personally, but my experience with the public repo was a bit 'crashy', and also now it looks really dated on iOS 26.

So instead of barging into the main repo, I decided to fork my own copy, and give it a massive iOS 26 redesign.

Just turned my monitor on this morning and this is what it looks like. It was completely fine last night. 🫠

It’s an Asus XG27UQ. Which replaced an Asus 1440p that also ended up failing.

Starting to think Asus monitors aren’t all that good. 😅

I feel like every time I manage to internally justify CloudKit’s reliability to myself and start looking at adding it to my apps, something like this happens and I have second thoughts again. 😅

Definitely hearing a lot from my IG Labs teammates that they miss stacked diffs and this GitHub concept of a “pull request” is weird. 😆

Some of them were at Meta their whole careers so far, so GitHub is brand new to them.

I definitely agree. Tempted to give Graphite another try. 😆

A little library I've been playing with since 2016. I was curious how an always visible scroll bar would look and behave on iOS.

It took a lot of back-and-forthing, but I was able to use Claude to generate the logic needed to allow flicking the scroll bar for it to play a decelerating animation.
