@krzyzanowskim @thecommanderapp It'd be great to have an option for single-window. When working with multiple projects + multiple sessions, it's hard to find the right window.

@SethSandler @thecommanderapp which itself is recent change I've made because keeping the list of projects in each window feels not right to me. I think I need a list od projects only to open new project, which is not even that frequent operation.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 @thecommanderapp when I'm tired, good feedback is helping me to show up and try again

@joenandez @SubspaceHQ You should probably register this under a business account. Not so sure I'd want to trust access to an individual.

It’s time to end the multi-window, multi-app, multi-agent chaos. If you’re running Claude Code (or Codex or OpenCode) and juggling multiple agents convos across terminals, VS Code windows, and branches - we built this app for you. Subspace (@SubspaceHQ) is a Mac app built for collaborating with (and orchestrating) many Agents across chat, docs, notes, files, browsers, and more.🚀 Public beta is now *LIVE* Free for a limited time. Download below!! We can't wait to see what you think!!!

@radbar_1 You’re saying create a Boolean or enum that defines each state and update it when state is entered? Use that as a condition for any state transition? Sounds like that would work but a little annoying to have to manually keep track of the current state.

@SethSandler You can go from „any state” to say „state 1” then if „state 1” branches into „state 1a” and „state 1b” you can apply second condition that’s a Boolean and can serve as protection for „any state” to now ignore other states

Rive tip: Any State I've been working on some handed over Rive files. One takeaway, the "any state" is seriously underused, but it is THE state. Most times you will need to access specific animations from multiple different timelines. Ie. you want to always be able access an "outro" or "success" Or for specific users you want to already load a specific progress. I've seen multiple files trying to meticulously connect everything to everything. Wrong That' when any state comes in. Everything connected to blue "Any State" can be triggered regardless what our animation is currently doing. GOAT @rive_app

Why is Lottie the defacto when PAG (Portable Animated Graphics) seems better in every way. 🤔 github.com/Tencent/libpag

@dankuntz @pxlboy @observable It's hard to say in the abstract without knowing specifically what you're doing. I will say, I'm pretty disappointed in the lack of investment, especially this year, with greater investments in SwiftUI, especially when it comes to performance and workarounds.

@SethSandler @pxlboy @observable Yeah. The cynical side of me would say, well what is SwiftUI really “designed for” if not this? Is this really “the best way to build software for Apple platforms” or not?

ObservableObject is kind of evil

@dankuntz @pxlboy @observable Predictability feels like a baseline requirement for ergonomics, so we wouldn’t trade that off either.

@dankuntz @pxlboy @observable Makes sense. The projects you’re describing push the limits of what the system was probably designed for. We’ve been able to lean on SwiftUI pretty heavily, but that’s partly because we’ve kept things relatively flat.

@emcro Do you include any ad or 3rd party frameworks? Some use it for fingerprinting.

Huh? What on earth could be causing this popup, first time I've ever see it for my own app is with macOS 26, and I can't think of anything in the app that could trigger this? Any ideas on how to track this one down?

@dankuntz @pxlboy @observable Fair enough. It depends on what you're trying to achieve. So far, any performance issues we've been able to work around or have been a non-issue. Too many abstraction layers often keep us from moving fast (delivering user value), so we tend to avoid it unlecess necessary.

@SethSandler @pxlboy @observable It looks very promising but haven’t tried yet. At this point I’m leaning more towards writing my own plumbing that’s more predictable rather than relying on profiling

@dankuntz @pxlboy @observable Have you tried the new profiler for Xcode 26 to see if it gives any details on what’s triggering updates? We still support iOS 16 so haven’t moved to @Observable yet. We’ve been 95% SwiftUI for about 3 years now.

@pxlboy @observable Unpredictable view updates. Allegedly these things intelligently track property access during view evaluation but it’s almost always imperfect and prone to false positives in my experience. @Observable has even more opaque behavior

@DonnyWals I'm not seeing. I'm wondering if we have to be on the Mac beta too.

Am I missing something or is ChatGPT integration not available yet in this Xcode 26 beta?

@hasanaydinco I'm not seeing this. Do you have to be on the Mac beta too?

Yes, ChatGPT has really come to Xcode. Let’s see what the limit is. Also I can't see which GPT model it is.

@oscar_rbdn @maltethiele @rive_app @splinetool Did you ever share the repo? I’d really love to see your methodology.

@maltethiele @rive_app @splinetool I am preparing a public demo and cleaning up code. I will share the repo but I don't know when because I'm doing this in my free time

🛒 Add to bag animation done with @rive_app and @splinetool

@warpling Not as good as what?

I heard Claude was better for coding so I subscribed and used it for the last month but I gotta say I'm not impressed? Love the company but it's simply not as good at coding! Am I missing something?

@JordanMorgan10 Are the types nested at all or a single hierarchy?

Any thoughts on a filtering UX here? Context: Filtering a list of basketball drills by their type (i.e. shooting, drilling, etc). There are like 30 different categories, so right now I have the "tag cloud" UI on the right, but wondering if the list UX is better (on the left). Tag cloud: More on one line, maybe kind hard to digest List: Easily parsed, but more scrolling

@alexkehr It may be the all time worst and that’s counting the breaking glass fiasco lol. Who’s even running the company at this point? How many times did he say “cool”?

This Tesla presentation is so insanely cringey. Feels like a company that’s jumped the shark and about to decline fast

@Dimillian 100% it’s dead. It was a stepping stone.

The more I use Cursor or even Xcode new LLM-based code completion, the more I think non-LLM-based autocompletion is dead. It's often very slow and lacks a lot of context.
