I had a blast giving the closing keynote at @KotlinLeeds last week. I spoke about my journey into iOS development and how mental limitations held me back. Don't let "I can't" stop you. It doesn't matter. Do it anyways and learn how along the way. Why join the navy when you can be a pirate? - Steve Jobs, 1983

I used to have a macOS app on the App Store to show a list of SwiftUI font sizes for my own reference I always got confused with callout, subheadline, and footnote But I removed it from sale, because this is also baked into @LaunchBuddy_App (has been for a few years)

There's no HomeViewKit SDK bringing your apps on the new HomeView But there are two existing APIs instead. And they don't need Xcode 27.2 or above. You can get started building for this new device today. Watch the full breakdown: youtu.be/9pJUv15Gkt4

Got a first banner ready for @LaunchBuddy_App I will work on an animated one soon, just wanted to get a first version out iOS 27 introduces so many funnel-related changes, it’s quite exciting!

During Shipaton, I saw dozens of developers get their apps rejected. It happens all the time! But did you know that there are a few tricks to avoid rejections? They're pretty simple too: youtu.be/6G0z4MAEl1o

LaunchBuddy's next update (7.2.0) is PACKED with new features and improvements. This could have easily been 2 or 3 updates, but I wanted to get out a banger! Will be available soon for both iOS & macOS.

While I was in Leeds, I spent the little free time that I had to rebuild the task board of LaunchBuddy It looks better, but most importantly it's MUCH smoother than before. You can also reorder tasks in each column by just dragging between two other tasks.

And just a few days later, @KotlinLeeds is coming to an end as well. I genuinely enjoyed chatting with people and hanging out with the community. Thank you @Adam9Rush & team for making it happen! Thanks as well for inviting me to give the closing keynote. It was tons of fun!

Day 1 of @KotlinLeeds kicking off

So HomeView is essentially your iOS app’s widgets (free if you already have some) + your CarPlay app What a weird API decision

Day two of @swift_leeds with @dvrzan talking about CloudKit public databases

Improving the reviews screen of LaunchBuddy The goal is to make it super easy to reply to your app's reviews & turn them into tasks if you want

Let’s kick off @swift_leeds

Another perk of visiting @swift_leeds and @KotlinLeeds is that I can finally try iPhone Mirroring since I'm outside the EU!

Xcode Instruments can be super confusing... so many templates so many graphs and no clue what to do with all this data @twannl just released RocketTrace, a new Mac app that makes performance optimization much more manageable Watch our interview: youtu.be/cDtgTlDeev0?si=2Vkj…

Control your Codex & Cursor agents inside Minecraft > HUD on the left screen edge with running & unread agents > full screen window to chat with agents > start new agents No need to constantly switch between Minecraft and Codex/Cursor Keep playing while your agents work: github.com/FloWritesCode/age…

Of course this setting doesn't get persisted and automatically switches back to list mode every time...
