@WillRBishop In fact I think this was lauded as a feature in WWDC. It’s because it’s “tinted glass”

@WillRBishop Send this to Apple. Their own UI uses “white” and it renders with bad legibility everywhere. Take the Notes app for example. Or the blue checkmark while cropping that photo. Neither true white. Both low visibility.

@filippkowalski Yeah, similar for me. I reimplemented Dato. Which I feel sorta bad about. My version is objectively worse but it does what matters. If all of mini SaaS isn’t dead, at least dev-focused mini SaaS is dead.

it's a real carnage for software, isn't it? My SetApp subscription has ended, so I took 2h with Claude to recreate most of the apps I used through the sub. I only bought a lifetime payment for CleanShot X because it's amazing. I'm building my own Paste alternative with extra features (auto-sync copy/paste between my laptop and Android), so I have the same features as iPhone users. I'm also thinking about adding an extra layer that will parse the clipboard data on the server and store it there + maybe some custom rules based on the type, but im not sure yet. Still in the idea phase

@AdamWhitcroft I love this… a long time ago I had the idea of a simple “sooner or later” type UI for todos. But your design here is wayyyyyyy cooler than anything I imagined. And you actually built it. Love this, I’ll have to try it

I’m tired. I’m addicted.

I’m getting to the point with one of the projects I work on where the complexity of AI slop is becoming a real issue. While I can still happily prompt the agent to add x feature and it will do so and it will likely work perfectly, the code is just getting too complex and fragmented. Agents love to copy and paste and keeping patterns DRY is a real challenge. The agent will start diverging all those copy and pastes until you’ve got loads of similar but slightly different blocks of logic. Again it all still works and solves the problem I’m after. But I just can’t get any kind of consistency anymore, the code is a mess and I just don’t have a handle on it. I want a clean unified architecture but agents just code with tunnel vision. The project is now too big and complex for an agent to fully reason with and too big and complex for me to reason with. The only real solution is a complete rewrite. Maybe this is the way things will go. Code will just become disposable. I don’t really want to care about the code and to be honest I don’t but I do care about consistency and maintainability and the AI slop is hurting those very things I do care about. I know some will say “I’m holding it wrong”, use x,y,z skill, tool whatever and already use tools and anti slop skills, plans, docs, etc but the outcome is the same. Vibe coding something into existence is truly magical. But turning it into a mature product with months of iterations is painful. I can’t even hand code this thing because I don’t understand the code anymore and I’m too lazy to try and code myself because I’m addicted to AI. So what’s the solution, either start again and accept that’s just the way we have to roll, or just carry on fighting the slop and accept each new feature will take longer to implement than the last. I’m tired. I’m addicted.

Did Apple delete the WWDC18 video "Behind the Scenes of the Xcode Build Process"? The link is dead and I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone have an archived version or a more recent WWDC session that covers the same topic in as much depth?

Debugging CI/CD pipelines locally was too complex & expensive to solve. AI tools changed that. We built Magnolia—run GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Forgejo pipelines locally. github.com/tuist/magnolia Not feature-complete yet, but open to contributions. No more push-pray-wait.

Warning to #shipaton entrants: check your Ship Kit and make sure you cancel any of those free trials you started. The bill is coming due. I basically made a donation to Eleven Labs since I forgot about that one. Nice.

@Jchammond_ And I post as me, with only this account. It’s not hype/hack tiktok you hear about on X. Just authentic, normal tiktok

@Jchammond_ It’s my best avenue for my app. Though I’d already built up a (small but dedicated) following organically of other writers that are my ideal audience

ASO peeps say not to repeat keywords, but after an overhaul of my app’s ASO, all rankings are just tanking My original, thoughtless, descriptive everything -> okay performance Following guides, analyzing competitors and curating listing -> bad performance

I made an API I want to sell to others. What’s the simplest way to harness such an API with accounts, keys, pricing, etc? Ive got a couple ideas in mind, but this seems like such a simple problem, I hope I’m overthinking it.
