Most of my apps are multiplatform SwiftUI. Ask away

Really nice. How does it look with dynamic type?

Sorry you even have to think about this.
You celebrate as long as you want.
Then celebrate some more.
Then have one for me.
Then, when you’ve forgotten that you had one for me, have another.
Then do whatever the hell you want because you live in a free country.

So, depending on your audience, the word “Duplicate” COULD be too technical a concept. Maybe “Copy for Today” or even “It happened again” depending on the audience.
I know, you asked for a choice and I gave you more options instead. Sorry

Okay. I’m getting a clearer picture. Am I right in guessing that most of the time the date is the creation date of the item? If so, you could have a button/menu item labeled “Copy with Current Date…” or similar in addition or instead of the “Duplicate” option.

Without knowing the context of the app’s domain, I’d say that A and C are the most intuitive. I wouldn’t do A alone since long-press isn’t especially discoverable.
I can imagine a use case for D if there are a bunch of things that can be done to the item and Duplicate is only one of them.

As a user, if an app asks me to create an account before the end of onboarding, I quit and delete.
It’a just suss as the kids say

The framework for recording video is called AVFoundation. Apparently, Apple released a sample project recently called AVCam which shows how to access a lot of camera functions using SwiftUI. It’s designed for iOS 18, so it’s pretty up to date. I haven’t tried it. developer.apple.com/documentatio...

Yes you CAN return it to any other library, but then they spend their resources returning it to the proper one instead of buying more resources, so it’s best to return it to the one you got it from.

Always Beaker first. I love it, but is there a reason?

I just rewatched it. It’s bizarrely prophetic.
At the time I remember seeing it and thinking “no this could never happen” and yet it looks all too familiar now.

Yes, exactly. That’s exactly what it is!

Eh I'm ok with the Cast of Hee-Haw being honored. I mean have you ever seen Roy Clark play.

Ok. You got me.
I always think of a celebrity as “someone who is celebrated”, but that’s not how most people use it.
I went looking for backup myself and I found the first definition which I thought proved my point. Then I found the second which I thought might also until I saw the citation.

You’re much more optimistic than I am that it will be undone. I think that the administration is going to do it no matter what the courts say.

Literally 20 minutes ago, I went to grab a box that I have been holding onto and realized that I had just put it out for recycling last night🤣

Try refactoring the problem code into a separate View. You give the compiler less to look at and it usually sees the problem right away.
Of course, then you get to undo all that refactoring...

I'll try to save you a little time. Date in Foundation is not much more than a wrapper around a Double representing the number of seconds since January 1, 1970.
When you print a Date to the console, you see the output from a DateFormatter.

I’ve been working on SkyMarks, a bookmarking app for Bluesky posts. It’s available for Mac and iOS, synchs using CloudKit and lets you bookmark using the share sheet in the Bluesky app or the website.

I'm looking for feedback.
idk if there's already something out there that people use for this.
idk if I'm doing something that makes it unusable for the people that might otherwise find it useful.
idk if there's anyone except me that would ever use this.
So please have a look, and get back to me

It's very rough now. It only works in a few apps, and it will sometimes get really confused about the order of text.
But it's been consuming a lot of effort from me for the last week or so, so I think it's time to let the world try it.

I made it for myself for those skeets that include images of text that you have to scroll around to read.
But I think other folks could use it too.
For instance, folks with low vision, or with smaller phones, or anyone who wants to easily convert an image to text from a social app like Bluesky

I mean, my two favorite cars to drive were a 01 ford escort and a 93 dodge Daytona, and I’m not at all a car guy, never even changed my own oil.
Now my Prius is my new favorite car because I remember all the times I had to take the escort to the mechanic.
So yeah sounds about right

When I sat down this evening, I thought it could be a fun blog post. Now I just want to walk away.
