Got pulled out of filming retirement by @Nicksuchak for one last shoot late last year. Great band, give it a watch… 🙌

@afterxleep @Jchammond_ This. Cursor + Flowdeck absolutely is the way to go.

English

Daniel Bernal@afterxleep·4 Şub

@Jchammond_ Xcode works but it's just one agent, one conversation at a time. Feels like Cursor 0.7. You're better with Cursor Agentic flow + FlowDeck extension!

Connor@Jchammond_·3 Şub

If you can’t beat em, join em! But seriously this is great because using Cursor for native iOS is not ideal

Max Weinbach@mweinbach

Apple just announced that Xcode 26.3 will have OpenAI Codex and Claude Agent available natively to work on projects Native agentic coding in Xcode!

Genuinely a must have for building iOS/macOS projects with AI assistance.

Daniel Bernal@afterxleep

🚀FlowDeck 1.5.0 shipped. Big one. Swift Package Manager support. Project commands in interactive mode. 100+ test improvements. Also: no credit card needed for trial anymore. 15 seconds from install to building.

Throwback to my music charity fundraiser collab feat @jamiebower Nice chap. He was off to shoot some show about Strange Things, bless him. Wonder what lovely, wholesome thing he’s up to now…

Imagine being stranded at the top of a skyscraper without lifts, internet, mobile signal, toilets or water, then walking down 20+ flights of stairs into floor after floor of complete darkness. 👍

Exactly this: the magic of film is in the love and care that **people** put into it.

Theoretically Media@TheoMediaAI

Rounding out: I asked a Pro Editor once what he liked about editing, and he said: "I like being the one looking out for the audience." That's something I think about every time I sit down to edit.

There are a lot of tools to help you make videos people watch on the toilet. I’m building a tool to help you make videos people actually care about.

Theoretically Media@TheoMediaAI

The BIGGEST skill AI Video folks should focus on leveling up in 2026 is editing. And by that, I mean traditional video editing. In the space, we see a lot of inapposite "Video Editing" products/projects released. Most of these fall under one of three categories:

@altantutar To solve a problem effectively, you actually have to experience it. Founders that start with a post like this, launch, and rely too heavily on customer feedback often end up building a “faster horse” instead of a car. The best products are built by the people who need them.

There is definitely another side to pursuing startup ideas that investors shill in their content. I've been in the startup space for almost 4 years and have consumed many stories about how successful companies start. It's usually the founder's unique insight or early entry into a small market that makes the difference. I wouldn't pursue a startup idea just because a16z makes content out of it. There's a lot of danger in that, especially if you're following what the hivemind is chasing, which leads to competing with 100+ startups in the same category. Your chances of winning drop significantly, as anything on such a list, without a unique insight, often leads to catastrophe for the founders.

We got our robots to wash pans, clean windows, make peanut butter sandwiches, and more! Fine-tuning our latest model enables all of these tasks, and this has interesting implications for robotics, Moravec's paradox, and the future of large models in embodied AI. More below!

@hobson_kigzo It might for lazy, formulaic, human-created slop. It can’t replace a real editors ability to guide the way a viewer experiences a film. It’ll **absolutely** be a tool to make creativity easier for people who actually care about filmmaking regardless of skill level.

@DinokiLabs This is really cool. Also building something macOS and native first for similar reasons 🙂

This is what native does. One prompt. Calendar + Contacts + iMessage. Only possible on Mac.

Osaurus@OsaurusAI

This is what native feels like. No Electron. No Python runtime. Just Swift on Apple Silicon.

Charlie Ryan@cjlryan·20 Ara

@vanilagy @Vjeux It’s more verbose, but the time handling is nice and prevents drift. You can select ranges, frames etc. Lower level access is there when you need it etc. Mac/iOS only though, and nowhere near as clean as your API. (Quick range example, wrote it on a phone so excuse mistakes 😬)

English

Vanilagy@vanilagy·19 Ara

@cjlryan @Vjeux How does AVFoundation handle this sort of thing natively? Never worked with it.

English

Vanilagy@vanilagy·18 Ara

A lil sneak peak at the upcoming SampleCursor API in Mediabunny v2! It's quite the beast. It offers a single, unified API for decoding video and audio data, optimized for real-world use cases: creating video players and editors, thumbnail extraction, etc.

@vanilagy @Vjeux I kind of like the way AVFoundation handles this sort of thing natively, but this is **so** clean. Wish the web could handle intensive production workflows better (hardware accelerated RAW decode, ML etc)... 😬 One day… (and probably thanks to you!)

English

Vanilagy@vanilagy·19 Ara

Thanks! I noticed from watching usage of Mediabunny that there's a desperate need for a "cursor-like" API where you can just seek to a specific time, like a
