Emil Baehr

I built a tool for making simple iOS app sites. 🔧 Fork the repo 🗝 Enter iOS App ID in config.yml 📲 Upload video preview or screenshot 🎨 Customise site in config.yml (no HTML/CSS) ✅ Site becomes live at GitHub Pages repository URL Try it out → github.com/emilbaehr/auto…

@plumpkeke Fixed! Thanks for reporting. The camera class was never removed from memory.

@ebaehr app uses camera even when you are not scanning…

Launching a new hobby project today. Calculate paint usage by scanning your room — no measuring or manual entry needed. The app uses the LiDAR scanner and Apple’s RoomPlan API to easily and accurately provide an estimate. → paintplanner.app

@sriiiiik_ Sounds tedious. Were you a professional painter?

I remember manually calculating, as an intern it was soooooooo frustrating back then!

@tarang0510 Thanks for the kind words. The model comes from the RoomPlan API, so there's not a lot of manual work to be done from my side to be honest.

@AndreasInk Thanks. That looks very helpful for those who need it.

@ebaehr Congrats! I also launched an app using the RoomPlan API but with a totally different use case, a copilot for the blind. Happy launch day :)

@MaxxFrazer Oh yes, they can be quite harsh here. It seems like such a waste to always repaint everything.

@ebaehr perfect! ideal for Copenhagen, where landlords demand full repainting for any slight flaw 🙄

@CalebPanza Most likely yes! There are probably even more similar applications.

@ebaehr Could this work for flooring too??

@44B34R44 👊🤩

@ebaehr Vauw - cool project 🤩

@plumpkeke Thanks for the heads up. I'll have a look at this.

@Bartozo_ Thanks! I hope it will work well for you. To build the site I use this free tool I created some years back. github.com/emilbaehr/auto…

@ebaehr Congrats on the launch 🥳 This might be very useful for me in next few weeks. Will definitely try it out! BTW what did you use to create this minimalistic single web page?

@nathanbrown128 Aha! Thought it was in relation to the Time Control app. Whoops.

Clean installed my Mac yesterday, and then went straight on to enable three-finger dragging with the trackpad. What's the first thing you do when setting up a freshly installed Mac?

@matthewskiles @Gavmn Believe it was @flarup?

@Gavmn Ah! Didn’t think about real world paper 😂 Yeah somewhere I saw a plastic drawing tool for making them. But I don’t recall. I think someone had it made with a CNC machine.

the hardest part of sketching icons is drawing the corners of the superellipse 🫥

@mecid Super glad to hear. Cheers!

Thanks @ebaehr for such a great landing page template. Almost all of my apps use it. 🙏 cardiobot.swiftwithmajid.com

The exported theme file includes an extension on UIColor that automatically adapts to light and dark mode variants based on the current UITraitCollection. If you have defined both a light and dark mode color palette, iOS will automatically change between the two variants based.

I find the process of going from Figma colors to Xcode very manual. Made a Figma plugin to ease the process. 1. Organise colors into light and dark mode color palettes. (Dark mode optional.) 2. Export to .swift file. 3. Use the colors in your code. ➔ figma.com/community/plug…

@andyngo Thank you!

@ebaehr I don’t play any chess myself but this looks really stunning. Congrats on the launch!

Today I released Time Control – a simple chess clock for over the board timekeeping. Free on the App Store → apps.apple.com/us/app/time-co…

@andrew_jackman Thanks!

@ulrikstoch Takker 😊

@ebaehr Super fedt! Tillykke med udgivelsen 🥳

It has been a great project for diving into Swift and iOS development. I deliberately designed the clock to give myself a chance to explore things like UIKit, Core Animation, Combine, haptics, audio and gestures. And even a bit of Swift Package Manager.

A fun fact for the chess enthusiasts: The app icon contains a glimpse of @osteslag's upcoming custom designed 3D chess set for @deepgreenchess.
