Some evening silliness. blog.devthedev.co/p/novel-idea-e…

@SwiftDev_UI @joshdholtz @DeepDishSwift Thanks!

@JustMeDevin @joshdholtz @DeepDishSwift It was an epic talk!!

@DeepDishSwift was a blast! Got to stand on the stage and do this cool thing with my hands.

Up next at Deep Dish Swift 2026! @JustMeDevin is on stage with "Good Interface Design: Solving novel problems with UI" 🍕

@SnazzyLabs Not listed, but also appears to be compatible with Apple Design Award.

I have literally out-innovated Apple.

@ParkerOrtolani Because they're within the content layer, per the design guidelines Liquid Glass is only really meant to applied above the content layer.

@SoVeryCuul Depends on the situation, I prefer SwiftUI for most things now, but UIKit still has more flexibility in some cases.

@JustMeDevin Are you planning on moving to UIKit-in-code, or SwiftUI.

Live Activities on the Mac are always a fun little surprise when they show up. I forget they're a thing, but I love being able to see this from my desk!

@SoVeryCuul Good question, hopefully there will be a bit of a heads up when they properly remove them. I'd be surprised if that happens in the short term. We're slowly updating a lot of the UI to move away from them so we'll just continue down that path.

@JustMeDevin I'm wondering, what's your plan for the eventual Interface Builder deprecation on visionOS? Noticed recently that Crouton seems to extensively use both XIBs/storyboards.

@Delps1001 Good feedback, yeah we can add this.

@JustMeDevin could you add the option to paste a recipe directly into the app in structured format? schema.org/Recipe A lot of times I might have AI generate a recipe and it’s super annoying to import into crouton currently.

@darnfish Ooh, this is awesome!!

@JustMeDevin I did this but for real 🤓 youtube.com/watch?v=RahBO5…

Apple Park in the 90s (featuring my reflection, need a nano texture Studio Display for filming)

Coming soon to Cassette a VHS filter so you can enjoy your home videos in worse quality, like the good old days.

@JoannaStern Exciting! Looking forward to the next thing 😊

Some personal news. For real. I’m doing one of these. Deep breath… After 12 years at The Wall Street Journal, I’m leaving. Twelve! I’m starting my own consumer-tech media company, building a new home with the same mission I've always had: help real people navigate the tech (and AI) changing their lives. I’m so excited and so terrified! I can’t wait to start building and hiring. If you want to follow along (and be first to hear what’s next), sign up at the link below and subscribe on YouTube. No holding small, puffy microphones. I promise. Probably. It would make for a great exit story if I said I was leaving the Journal because of some big fallout—and the office printer system slowly poisoned me. The Journal changed my life. I’ve learned from the best journalists in the business, made lifelong friends and was given the freedom to take risks and make at least six stipples of myself—and one of my dog. Thank you to the many people I can’t possibly list here and to everyone who watched my WSJ videos, read the columns, argued with me in the comments and made this the most fun job in the world.

Xcode is feature complete.

@swappfunc Yeah, plus can view the stats so your probe that's in the food inside the grill. It's really neat! There is a compatibility page I think that lists supported grills.

@JustMeDevin It's just a more accurate temperature display / timer / plus whatever estimation capabilities are built in? Pretty sweet! I wonder if compatible with a Traeger

grillin.

@swappfunc Using the Combustion Giant Grill Gauge 😊 drop in replacement for the analogue gauge. combustion.inc/products/giant…

@JustMeDevin Curious to hear how you’re connected to it? BT thermometer on the inside?

@perryraskin Can't unsee

@gustavwf @turtlerabbit_xd It's very easy! calligraphr.com

@JustMeDevin @turtlerabbit_xd Wait wait wait. How did you create the font out of your handwriting? That sounds like such a fun thing to do.

Decided I wanted to try and arrange more words in a silly fashion this year. Created a simple little app to keep track of them, kinda fun 😊
