i’m putting together a team. your hair/head shape needs to be fucked beyond belief to join

got it thanks

the end of the saga. keyboard dismissal, accessibility, transitioning dimmed detents, custom rubber banding with hysteresis, the works. it’s indistinguishable from a UIKit sheet. it’s my magnum opus and nobody will ever know. https://hachyderm.io/@samhenrigold/114594607506105867

flex toolbar companion app for the mac so i can monkey with values on my computer and watch the effects on my phone

btw in case anyone was wondering: you can recreate a native iOS sheet presentation from scratch but it’ll take 16 hours and 700 lines of code. “happy” thursday

Friendship ended with AIRPODS Now BOSE HEADPHONES is my best friend

Whenever I'm in a Staples or Best Buy, there are, like, four boxed software products remaining. It's McAfee, Norton, Microsoft Office non-365 version, and TurboTax. These are the cockroaches of the software world. A nuclear holocaust could happen and there would still be a new version of […]

listening to Step by Vampire Weekend. kinda impressive how they managed to make a whole song in english that’s completely unintelligible
