Calling all App Developers: Please can you help me choose the best icon for my multi-timer app? Should I go for something completely different? I would be really grateful to hear your hot tips for icon design. I'm not an icon designer nor do I have a great deal of experience

A Beautiful representation of the different presentation styles - Reposting for the quick and easy reference this provides. Thank you!
SwiftUI Tip 💡 Use submitLabel() to change the keyboard’s submit button to options like Next, Join, Search, or Done. (Updated for iOS 26) → https://t.co/JnFQ3zNujS

We can't wait to show what we've been working on. But we need a following. I promise to present something awesome that everyone can use and benefit from. TestFlight, Partner signups & app launch early next year. There's much to do. Biggest chunk is marketing ramp.

Today I learnt something so epic in my programming flow I simply had to share. Many will say "Duh! Even a Junior Dev knows this one".... But here's the thing; when habits form it's hard to break and see it any other way. For years I've been keeping open the wonderful and complete

I am working on something really quite exciting. The iOS Timer app has so many shortcomings and never really met my needs. There are a ton out there already trying to fit a gap. But I believe I've got something quite inspired and fun. I am looking for Beta Testers to join me on

Do you ever get days or weeks where you're just completely in-flow coding and nothing else seems to matter? I get runs of weeks at a time where I just code and code and code while responsibilities seem to take a back seat. What is this state of mind called?

We are entering a new phase of creativity that has never existed before thanks in large part to the power of AI. A wonderful and terrifying beast all in one. I truly believe that as we move forward into this new dawn that the creative wonder of our human imaginations will be

AI is so empowering to those who have creative inspiration and the desire to create. I absolutely love this ingenious presentation. It truly is like magic. And that's going to be how it is in the real world eventually. Holodeck is truly in our future.
oh my… this shouldn’t be possible Gemini 3 can generate 3D interactive scenes with three.js… and you can literally move particles with your hands no coding skills needed at all, it's all free tutorial + prompts in the comments

I've always dabbled in game development tinkering with the mechanics, IDEs such as Unity and Unreal Engine, and Apple's SpriteKit which I find much easier as an Apple developer. I've had some fun successes building the basics: creating a character, setting up a simple level. But

AI is driving me absolutely insane! I've been going in circles for days trying to kill a retain cycle that simply refuses to die. On paper, every AI solution I've been given sounds perfectly valid; the explanations are clear, the reasoning is solid, and the code even looks

Making a Flappy Builder game for a bit fun. Mostly using SpriteKit and basic sprite sheets. Nothing will beat the original but hopefully I can make something fun and engaging that I will enjoy playing! It's a new world of creativity out there! Already having thoughts on how I

Calling all Developers.... Give me your favourite terminal command line tool and most used command line. (excluding pico, ls, cd, rm, history, git) I'll go first: Favourite: tree - I use this all the time Most used: brew

"Just pump the brakes!" – The day AI sent me into full-blown panic mode 😂 I know almost nothing about cars. I love driving them, but how they actually work? Zero clue. Oil, tires, fuel, spark plugs; that’s the extent of my expertise. Ask me anything about SwiftUI and I’ve got
