After years of watching other people write about software development, I decided that I wanted to give it a try too…
So I started a new blog!
To kick things off I wrote a (slightly belated) SwiftUI Wish List, but what I’m really looking forward to sharing is a new app I’m working on, and some of the development (mis)adventures I’ve had.
Read the first post here and let me know what you think: https://adevlog.com/2025/07/a-swiftui-wish-list/
A Devlog · A SwiftUI Wish ListFrom its start, SwiftUI has tried to provide sensible defaults for building common UIs, but it’s taken longer to approach the full breadth of customizations offered by UIKit and AppKit. It could also afford to: the ability to bridge to and from “the kits” was (and remains) a fantastic
Cork version 1.5.6 is out.
This update includes a complete rewrite of the Homebrew pinning system in Swift for 20x performance gains, pinning from sidebar, manual update checking, and fixes for many crashes.

Cork: The Ultimate Homebrew Companion · Cork 1.5.6 Out: Big Changes
Having a nice time making a little app to help me switch off from the doom scrolling. Colour modes and relaxing animations. Just got to get some small details smoothed out and hopefully release soon!
Not gonna lie a little nervous with so much bad sentiment for iOS 26. Running on beta 4 this is where I have the current dev build of Bridges. My hope was to do a big design refresh and add some features. I think I’m gonna shelve the journal app I was working on for now.
Biggest rebase I have done yet for Cork
I've just deployed my first #ReactJS project on my website (many thanks to @astro )
I have another small one almost ready as well to deploy, probably in the weekend.
I made the mistake of not thinking "mobile first" and now it will take me more time to make it work on mobile (hello <dialog> element!), but overall for this week I shipped!

For next year, I have to write an app like Tricount, but better. It must have the ability to declare "families" or otherwise treat people and "accounts" separately. It also has to run on iPhone and Android. Cool challenge! #BuildInPublic
June was not a good month. Around 25% less sales, for a total of $70, and July is not starting great. We're the 4th and I still made no sales at all. At this point I don't know what to do anymore. #BuildInPublic

“Adopt robot pattern for universal links UI test” 
https://github.com/bikeindex/bike_index_ios/pull/85
- biked to a concert in the park 
Really proud of the project set up I wrote which has no reported problems: except for GHA CI permissions which was expected. Figuring that out!
