This is my media transfer protocol application that I built from scratch to quickly drag and drop, sync and inspect with quick look documents on a Supernode E-ink device.
It also works on other Android devices like phones and Boox tablets.
The MTP protocol is flaky and not a joy to test.
But the app is making it up for me by feeling Mac-assed. Quick-looking files on the device is really great.
Core Data in 2026
✨ SwiftData-style ModelActor concurrency
✨ Declarative PersistentModel
✨ Type-safe query paths (No more hardcoded strings!)
Modern syntax, same rock-solid engine. Read more👇

In my previous article, I discussed the current reality of Core Data in today's projects: it hasn't disappeared, and it still has unique value, but the disconnect between it and modern Swift projects is becoming increasingly apparent. In this article, I will introduce my experimental project Core Data Evolution, exploring whether we can make Core Data continue to exist in modern Swift projects in a more natural way?
My talk from iOS Conf SG 2026 is now officially on YouTube!
🎬 "Using SwiftUI as a Language"
👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPfxm8RHKFU
But honestly, the talk was just one part of it. What made iOS Conf SG truly special was the people — the hallway conversations, the shared ideas, and the chance to connect with so many passionate and talented developers from around the world.
These gatherings remind me why our community is great. I left Singapore inspired and can’t wait for the next one.
"Kings had always been involved and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object. This our [Constitutional] Convention understood to be the most oppressive of all Kingly oppressions; and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that no one man should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us."

Triple threat of "has a non-US location open", "great teammates", and "work on the bleeding edge of making safe languages adoptable in more places"

Institutional Knowledge Is a River That Can Dry Up (Don’t Fire All Your Workers) https://christiantietze.de/posts/2026/02/institutional-knowledge-is-a-river-that-can-dry-up-dont-fire-all-your-workers/
LLM's just can't replace a learning organization's learning constituents. Not just "not yet", but in principle.
Tickets are LIVE for #SwiftRockies! There are only 180 seats available for this round-table conference in Calgary on July 22 and 23rd.
I'll teach you how to build SwiftUI views with APIs that look and feel like Apple's native containers. Custom tab views? Navigation stacks? Timelines? No problem! All fully styleable, hooked into the SwiftUI environment, and without littering "AnyView" all over.
See all the schedule and get your ticket at https://swiftrockies.com #iOSDev #SwiftUI #SwiftLang
And tickets are now live for my Concurrency lab at Swift Rockies. I'm pretty excited for this format and cannot wait to see what kinds of questions people have.
Oh, and the conference seems cool too 😉
