Some impressions from my last sketchnoting workshops at @swiftleeds.co.uk 🙌 it’s the best feeling when a planned icebreaker exercise results in laughter and more engagement!

A recording of my talk Best Practices in SDK Development" has been published by the amazing @swiftleeds.co.uk team. I haven't watched it due to severe cringe-related issues, but if you're interested in building SDKs, you may find it interesting. #swift #sdks danielsaidi.com/talks/2025/1...

My talk from @swiftleeds.co.uk has been posted!! 😱 I had to force myself to apply for this (my first talk ever) but I'm so glad that I did because it was an incredible experience. Thank you Swift Leeds team! Blog post coming eventually... www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MXl...

The Sketch Note workshop that @felibe444.bsky.social put on at @swiftleeds.co.uk was GREAT. And I'm not just saying that because I won the Lego set! 😂

🔥 Day One Videos Are Live! The wait is over! We've just released ALL the recordings from Day 1 of the SwiftLeeds Conference. Watch now: www.youtube.com/@swiftleeds/... If you find these talks helpful, please consider subscribing to our channel

We miss you already 🥹

I had a great time at @swiftleeds.co.uk, where I got to meet so many amazing people! Like we say in Sweden - "Ingen nämnd, ingen glömd" (No one mentioned, no one forgotten). I enjoyed giving my talk "Best Practices in SDK Development", and answer some questions here: danielsaidi.com/blog/2025/10...

One of the things I love about @swiftleeds.co.uk: the attention to detail. This is one of the nicest conference badges I've ever gotten.

I answered the questions the audience at @swiftleeds.co.uk submitted for my talk on my blog page I made for Swift Leeds: chriswu.com/swiftleeds/#...

Had the best time at @swiftleeds.co.uk this week! I gave two #sketchnoting workshops and was blown away by participants’ enthusiasm. Seeing people try sketchnoting during talks made me so proud 🥹 Sharing sketchnotes of some talks in this thread 🧵

I was about 5 trillion miles outside of my comfort zone this week with my first conference talk (in a different country no less). Adam and his team at @swiftleeds.co.uk were so supportive. I definitely want to go back. What a wonderful experience this conference is.

Wow, look at this sketch that @felibe444.bsky.social completed almost immediately after my @swiftleeds.co.uk talk. I love it! 🤩

Accessibility crew at @swiftleeds.co.uk !

Really really enjoyed @felibe444.bsky.social’s sketchnoting session at @swiftleeds.co.uk today, what do you think of my attempts? 😄

The @swiftleeds.co.uk goodie bag contains a MagSafe battery with their logo on the back!!! 😱😱😱

Slept for 15 hours, backed up all the footage from the conference to my server, time to breath! @swiftleeds.co.uk and editing this week

See ya soon! @swiftleeds.co.uk

I’m flying to @swiftleeds.co.uk for my talk on SDK Best Practices. I’ve been looking forward to this for so long and can’t wait to see the other talks. It’s my third year attending SwiftLeeds, such a great conference! Let me know if you’re going and want to meet up. swiftleeds.co.uk

It’s only a few days until @swiftleeds.co.uk. I'll give a sketchnoting workshop on both conference days. Make sure to sign up if you want to give it a try 😍 👋 You can _additionally_ pick one of the three 1:1 Drop In Sessions to get the most out of the conference 🔥 swiftleeds.co.uk/ticket#dropin

Doing some final accessibility testing for one of our clients the night before catching a flight for @swiftleeds.co.uk. If you’re also attending and want to talk #a11y, come find me. 🦾

I’m very happy with these StickerApp cuties 🤩 Come say hi and grab one if you’re at @swiftleeds.co.uk next week.

In my @swiftleeds.co.uk talk about developing my weather app I've somehow avoided the Fahrenheit vs Celsius battle but you best believe that I'm bringing up month/day/year vs day/month/year. 👊💥⏰👊

This is the FINAL day you can buy tickets for Swift Leeds. There's nothing like a talk about time zones in person.

Only one week til SwiftLeeds kicks off! Who is going to be there? 🥳

I'm glad that during our speaker training for @swiftleeds.co.uk Adam pointed out that we shouldn't get hung up on try to make an error free, perfect presentation. That's not realistic and puts unnecessary pressure on you. As a first time speaker this has really helped my practice sessions.

@swiftleeds.co.uk is almost here, and it’s looking 🔥! I’m super excited to be back running accessibility drop-in sessions with my friend @rob-w.bsky.social! Book a slot and come chat with us. We love nothing more than talking all things iOS accessibility with devs! swiftleeds.co.uk/ticket#dropin

I will be speaking about SDK development at @swiftleeds.co.uk in October! 🎉 Join me as I share best practices for creating SDKs that developers love. We'll cover system architecture, API discoverability, versioning strategies, and other things that turn good to great. 🛠️✨ swiftleeds.co.uk

The full schedule and talk descriptions for Swift Leeds are out now. Part of my talk is going to point out all the mistakes and incorrect assumptions I made regarding time zones when creating @pleasedontrain.com I'm hoping to help someone avoid a lot of the pain that I went through. ⏰
