Every line you delete is a line you no longer need to maintain. We aggressively prune old code in our apps and it has definitely helped with maintainability. For a mobile app it’s also code you don’t ship so that’s a nice bonus which I guess is not much of an argument on a backend codebase

Wrote up a high level overview on what you would need to build an open source Foursquare clone on the AT Protocol today. Based on what i've learned experimenting with Anchor.

I’m experimenting with adding location data to Bluesky posts. Think Swarm/Foursquare check-ins but federated. This is a roundup on the current state of things.

Just released this fastlane plugin to translate your iOS apps. It uses the DeepL api to translate all the languages you have in your Localizable.xcstrings file. I use it to translate my own apps and feel like more iOS devs could use this to have a bigger reach for their apps.

Claude Opus 4 is releasing today it seems. Time story was published by accident and retracted again.

Top notch developer experience; it just works. But when i was building a semi large web app with it a few years back I got quite bored with the amount of cookie cutter code I needed to write. Perhaps the amount of rails type frameworks has progressed enough for that to have become a non issue though.

As a react native developer I can confirm SwiftUI is more fun. Mostly because of the relative simplicity. You just need Xcode or these days an iPad with Playgrounds on it and you can build stuff.

I’m intrigued with Funny. What makes these frameworks funny?

The documentation only has a screenshot of the brands supported. Would be nice to just be able to lookup my car brand and make support in the docs instead of having to make an Auth flow first...

Huh... Safari on iOS crashes on that page
