Introducing Superactions: to help you tackle that task you've been putting off ✨

@cifilter you can use the APIs of AffineTransform3D on iOS to get the matrices for a ProjectionTransform

It's insanely dumb that only visionOS has SwiftUI modifiers to actually position views in 3D space. iOS only has ProjectionTransform, which is unwieldy, and rotation3DEffect, but no transform3DEffect (visionOS only)... 😢

@Dimillian Sendable is a @ _marker protocol so compile time only, it's impossible to cast a value to it

Does anyone know if this bullshit on the main thread is actually Swift checking for Sendable conformance? I don't use a mirror, and my decoding is done on a concurrent queue.

@pointfreeco Default main actor isolation was a reactionary bandaid, a stain on Swift's otherwise beautiful concurrency story. Should have been a new language mode if they really deemed it worth the churn or never added at all.

Move over "to view model or not", the next great debate of our community is slowly becoming "to default main actor isolation or not"… #discussioncomment-15064335" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/pointfreeco/sw…

@samhenrigold I'd be curious to hear more about how you define fussy. Any egregious examples you're willing to throw under the bus?

I really like apps that are not fussy. I’ve tried every note-taking app, every todo app, every design tool under the sun. I like the ones that just get outta my way. My most used note-taking app is the default Quick Notes thing that I have mapped to the action button

@sketch @MarceloMarfil can't wait!! that glass toolbar looks stunning

How it started: “Hey @MarceloMarfil, can you draw some new icons for the Tahoe update?” How it’s going: There are 775 new icons in Sketch now. We’re incredibly close to sharing this update with you! Thanks for your patience while we sweat the small stuff.

From glass materialize transitions to bright HDR colors, this update makes use of all the latest iOS 26 goodies. Grab the TestFlight invite at semantical.com :)

Ivy has been updated with liquid glass. Check it out on TestFlight!

@louisagareiss looks like there's still some space for ivy by @semanticalhq 👀

My TestFlight folder

my favorite part of the day

@spottedinprod Thanks so much for those kind words! Means a lot ❤️

I normally roll my eyes at "opinionated todo list" but Ivy has some of the most sensible primitives and fluid UI I've seen recently. If you're open to trying a new digital productivity approach, I'd consider starting here: semantical.com

Exciting new apps (links below):

ivy · plan & commit by @sammcgxrry

@kitlangton I haven't been on here in a while but this popped up on my yt recommended today. A+ content, I was thoroughly entertained. Immanentize the cult of fritz!

Let's write a Claude Code from scratch with Effect, okay?

@spottedinprod @kitlangton @semanticalhq I wouldn't dare before SIP gets its deserved 400 million

@kitlangton @valwalcom @semanticalhq At least 4 million

ivy · onboarding by @semanticalhq

@kitlangton @spottedinprod @semanticalhq You are too kind Kit! I've been absolutely loving your effects explorations, the interaction design is off the charts. That kaboom on error might just be my favorite little detail ever ✨

@valwalcom @spottedinprod @semanticalhq You need more than 80 followers, @valwalcom! You're too talented. You need millions. This will happen soon, I'm sure.

@emanuelsa @luciascarlet @sketch Custom shaders perhaps 🥺

@luciascarlet @sketch As a former icon designer, I absolutely know what you mean, we’re bringing more filters along, this is just the start :D

@Sketch tried out the liquid glass effect in the beta and I love it but do have one piece of feedback — the specular effect shouldn’t be hardcoded on it’s convenient to have built-in, but it’d be much more versatile for uses outside of Apple UI if it could be turned off

@mrousavy something like this? (the first callbackAndReturn doesn't return a promise — if the idea was that only a void returning callback is synchronous by default you could achieve that with an overload of callAsFunction where Output == Void)

Swift experts - can this C++ type be somehow represented in Swift?

CSS IS GETTING FUCKING SMOOTH CORNERS drafts.csswg.org/css-borders-4/

@heyezrae @sketch I am so looking forward to going back to Sketch for more than nostalgia
