A hard year of weekends 😮‍💨 but I've finally released my first ios app akiya.app/join My take on gym tracking that takes what worked best for me in apps like strong and hevy and extending that with richer analytics and improved ui/ux Let me know if you try it out 🤝

Pumped for the official launch of www.plasma.org a sablecoin based neobank aimed to compete with likes of Revolut while providing self-custody. My biggest hope for the project is to show case the "other side" of web3 and crypto and demonstrate that it can have good utility and be easy to use!

These were fun to work on! A Strava like workout session sharing with custom images and a quick action to schedule in your calendar 🗓️

All I had to do to fix my app's issues on ios 26 😅

Feels nice to re-use same components in different context, while still maintaining unique value - here category chart reflects your all time breakdown and allows you to then drill down to workout specific stats as well.

Home widget selection and management starting to come together really nice 🔧

Few days in now, so how are people finding stability of iOS and macOS dev betas? Itching to upgrade, but during last years dev beta's a lot of stuff went wrong on my machines 😅

Ever since apple intelligence was released, I was waiting for us to get access to those on device llms and it's finally here + structured codable swift responses 🔥 developer.apple.com/documentatio...

Not a super productive weekend, but managed to wrap up this custom search input today 🔎

Codex is quiet cool. I have a feature that tracks workout locations, so asked it to create a sheet that shows a global map for all of these. 5min in and it made a great PR. UX is really nice, I can kick off a task and then move onto next one while I wait to review it's work.

Back from an amazing hackathon with the team and managed to win one of the prizes 😁🏆 — built a "prompt to widget" canvas while exploring interesting ui/ux ideas. Backed by our api, interactive and modular.

Thrilled to kick off a new chapter at OpenSea ⛵️ already had a chance to work with their amazing team and am super excited to help build OS2! Will try to post interesting and useful web3 tech insights that I learn as well 📝

Without exception. Every day I check my bsky feed there is always that one random post about mushrooms 🤣

My kind of vibe coding

Continuing with location features today. Added full interactive map to explore area around your workout. Learned about neat MapKit option that I wasn't aware of called "pointsOfInterest" that allows to display only "fitnessCenter" locations making this view less busy and more contextual 🗺️

🗺️ Starting on a new feature today, by allowing users to enable workout location tracking. Next, I want to display all your workouts on a global map + count at each location, kinda like @levels.io does for travels on nomad list

TIL; you can combine Swift @Observable's with various delegate classes like location, watch etc. and update associated state values. Get's rid of so much boilerplate 🧹 here's basic location delegate I'm working on atm

Decided to try @vscode.dev insiders build today, as it has new agent mode support for copilot. Very impressive! Asked it to implement new setting and after 2min all I had to do is review this absolutely perfect git diff. It added new fields to db schema and controllers, i18n and ui to toggle it.

Legitimately had chills running down my spine by the end 🧊 Everything in place for few more great Avangers movies!

Absolutely amazing! 🔥 createwithplay.com

Looks like @expo.dev are working on their own ui library! Looks like it is in very early stages with only few previews and mostly ios components, but if done well could really improve react-native experience even further 🔥 docs.expo.dev/versions/unv...

So proud of how far we've progressed with Junction exchange. App is feeling like a proper defi product already, ux we achieved is just 🤌 and there are still plenty of cool improvements and features to come.

New rust based / react-native like library from ByteDance that with proper css support and dual thread architecture for performance 👀 lynxjs.org

One of the cooler db product launches I've seen recently spacetimedb.com A spatiotemporal database focused at massive realtime games and apps where your db and compute are unified, storing every possible transaction with ability to rewind ⏳ Reminds me of smart contracts a bit

Just updated my developer tool starterpack. It's great to see more and more of these come online here at 🦋 go.bsky.app/3LhC1ey

And I thought I knew @supabase.com well 😅 - amazing behind the scenes dive video www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-qA...

Did you ever notice that tiny new fade / scale animation SwiftUI tabs got in ios18? Wanted it in react-native so recreated it via following config in react navigation Code 📝 gist.github.com/xzilja/82679... Learn More 📚 reactnavigation.org/docs/bottom-...

Am slowly dragged back into react-native world with all of these new improvements and react 19 support coming to it in next version. But it desperately needs to use SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose for underlying views imho.

Taking what I learned from SwiftUI and applying it in web 📝 Made a custom sheet with gestures, elastic animations and even velocity detection 😮‍💨. Feels really nice on mobile web with extra css tricks like "user-select: none" and "transition-behavior: allow-discrete"

🏋️‍♂️ Say hello to a more personalized fitness dashboard! Added a feature that allows users to sort or hide home widgets to see exactly what they want, where they want. I hope this will come in handy as widget catalogue grows to include more data

@vscode.dev and @github.com co-pilot have gotten so good, that I decided to switch back from cursor. I find "Edit with Copilot" feature easier to use and results are great! It's free as well! 💡 Tip: Provide references to your existing code when prompting to get pretty much spot on results

Sweating through implementing all of these layout animations today, something that would be so simple with SwiftUI is actually really hard on web atm, but @motion.dev is coming in clutch 💪

Looking at you Safari and Firefox 🔎 it's time to enable easy auto height transitions without javascript bloat! developer.chrome.com/docs/css-ui/...

One of my favorite web ui libraries rebranded today and their blog post is hinting at possible react-native support 👀 would be very eager to see this come to fruition www.heroui.com/blog/introdu...

Finally able to work on my app again after 2 month break 😮‍💨 Polishing failure/edge cases with watch connectivity atm. Cool that you can detect if companion watch app is installed or reachable. Can now give user more context on what to do in any of these cases with nice baby sheet.

Learned about Screenshot studio today, really impressive app to work on app store graphics, has a bunch of cool templates to get started as well 📸 apps.apple.com/us/app/scree...

Catching up on @supabase.com features and announcements since I've been out of the loop. AI sql assistant is by far my favourite, it's like magic 🪄 don't think I will write a manual schema any time soon. Oh! They have swift client now as well! www.youtube.com/watch?v=51tC...

I really hope @bsky.app implements something like X's community notes. The way people went ham on each of honey's posts after MegaLag exposed their scammy/fraudulent activity is just something else 👏 If you haven't seen the video yet, highly recommend www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc4y...

Talk about caffee/co-working that inspires 🥵

A ride to remember 🌵🏜️🐪

I tried to get into blender multiple times and usually gave up after firs week or so. I have a good feeling about this time 😅 the way Riley explains things and the projects he uses are keeping me interested so far 📝 in his new course

For the longest time I've been using Claude's web interface as my ai tool of choice, but ChatGPT now has this awesome canvas feature taking ux to the next level 👌 ability to edit specific parts is great

This feature tested me 😅 but now there is a good superset ux and a more robust data structure for workouts and exercises

If you are like me and are looking into following more people working with metal shaders in swiftui, I highly recommend following Minsang and checking out his existing posts for inspiration 🎸

🐐 Sunday is for climbing

Does anyone by any chance know a production app that uses skip.tools and particularly for android apps? Idea of using swift and swiftui for multi-platform app development excites me 🔥 but I'd really want to play with some apps to evaluate how good this is.

✨ I think this is (so far) the best product I tried that brings cursor's experience to XCode, also seems to be free for now alexsidebar.app

A bit of a vibe during todays gloomy day. Productivity at 100% ☕️

Was exploring how to handle numeric inputs on the watchOS a while ago and eventually ended up on a flow like this. Works really well imho and feels nice to use on actual device Digital crown is OP 👑

Anyone tried to export complete flows from createwithplay.com by any chance? How good is the code exported in this case / how coupled are things if you need to customize them?
