mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-06I post about iOS and macOS dev, graphics and games. Working on: https://codea.io https://shade.to and https://retrogram.app
Re-doing Codea's project browser to work on iPhone Duo is nearly done. Spent about a day on it so far
Deleted all the custom header and footer code and swapped it out with a standard UINavigationController — this allows the main buttons to sit in the vertical edge when appropriate
Wrote new custom dynamic button tinting based on the various scroll view positions
Running Retrogram on iPhone Duo unmodified and it's not too bad! I'm so glad we adopted a literal "book" design (with fake spine) for iPad a couple years ago
Just need to move our custom toolbar into a vertical bar, and make sure the spine of the book goes down the middle
Codea 3.16 is out today
You can connect it to your favourite AI agent — see https://codea.io/cli
@clafou@mastodon.social @stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social I did move it from Productivity to Developer Tools (Developer Tools didn't exist when we first released Codea). Wonder if that made a difference
Does anyone have any tips on optimising SwiftUI performance (besides rewriting in UIKit)? I recall reading something about an LLM skill that you could feed an Instruments trace...
