Introducing my first macOS app: Docomments—A delightful way to add notes to your files 📝

In recent weeks, I’ve felt the need to add short comments to files as a kind of change log. However, I found Finder’s comments too unintuitive and unreliable. So I built my own app! If it fits your workflow, why not give it a try?👇

Social presence outside Twitter

Hello, first of all apologies if this is not the right place to post. Years ago I was saddened by the lack of usage of the SwiftLang twitter account, specially compared with other languages like Rust or Kotlin, which had a more active role in the promotion of the community.

Inspired by @rafa’s https://docktor.site, I created Squircle - a free Mac app that adds the correct corner radius, padding, and shadow to square app icons following Apple's design guidelines. Just drop the square icon in and out you get a single png or an appiconset for Xcode.

Do you remember peak Twitter? This was the greatest. It feels like we’re in this Era for Mastodon. I hope it's true.

This feels like the world's tiniest SwiftUI tip, but in case it helps: the saturation() modifier can go beyond 1.0 to oversaturate colors. This is helpful when saturation has been lost, like with the blur effect shown here – it looks washed out with saturation 1, but great at 2+.
