@FloWritesCode I think it’s just bugged right now. Same crash happens with the placeholder code provided by Apple when you create a new project and select SwiftData.

I have a List of AppIdeas, with `AppideasListRow` cells. When deleting an AppIdea, the app crashes and I get this error. Has anyone run into this already & figured out what the issue is?

@ekurutepe I’ve noticed this too. Maybe a regression since 16.0 as I never noticed it in iOS 15.

Here an interesting SwiftUI bug: Background an app while showing a sheet. Come back to the app and notice all tap areas are shifted down. Minimal reproduction here: gist.github.com/ekurutepe/a65f… Before I submit a radar, am I holding it wrong?

@davidjoelhall The twin ERPro-8s are great. Lovely combination of hardware and software. Solid uptime of 3 years, two weeks and counting. Bummed that the line has been discontinued without anything comparable from UI.

@feedbin How's the Ubiquiti Edge line of products treating you a few years later?

@jerodsanto Hmm I thought iOS had that built in. Not entirely sure what’s up with that. Seems to be a “Add to Homescreen” limitation. The long press to view alt works well on the App Store version though apps.apple.com/us/app/feedbin…

@bsaid Feature request! Some way of viewing alt text on images. So I can get my extra xkcd punchlines 😎

My @reederapp on iOS started crashing on boot this week, so I decided to give @feedbin's PWA a try. Glad I did, it's really good @bsaid! 👏

@gruber @davewiner Feedbin hosts a Mercury cluster. The goal isn't to enable piracy. It works as a side effect of NYT's paywall implementation. They serve full text, probably to get good Google juice. The paywall is activated with JS. You can run curl on any NYT URL to see what it looks like.

@davewiner From what I understand, NetNewsWire’s “reader view” service is based on Mercury Parser — an open source package to extract actual content from web pages, like the reader views built into most web browsers: github.com/postlight/merc…

@mergesort I’m interested. Big fan of SwiftUI. I’m benubois on GitHub.

I’m going to try something different and give early access to a couple of repos and an associated blog post about a “new” architecture I developed. If you use SwiftUI or are SwiftUI-curious *and have time to look and provide feedback* can you reply or DM me your Github username?

I love it when a plan comes together, going to be open sourcing something big shortly after WWDC.

Creating an unrestricted key first, then coming back to it to view suggestions would probably be more useful for integrations with multiple roles.

@patrickc Feature Request: Suggest permissions for a restricted API key. I don't know which resources to allow access to without testing, so a recommendation based on observed API usage would be helpful.

@jonikorpi The why is as important as the what in many cases. It would require perfect empathy or too much time to understand the issue without the example. Good work!

@siracusa I think Safari prefers rel=mask-icon and if present, it puts it on a white background. Your might try getting rid of that to get transparency in your favicon.

@trevormkay @jmsplease @viticci @bzamayo env(safe-area-inset-bottom) seems bugged when a viewport meta tag is present. I think it's not taking the space below the location bar into account. This looks too high. This is on beta 2.

@jmsplease @viticci @bzamayo I took a look and it is actually using max() so I guess the gigantic size for env(safe-area-inset-bottom) is intentional...

There are CSS properties that websites can adopt to ensure UI elements avoid the floating bar. Amazon might do the work, but you can’t expect that the wider web will. twitter.com/viticci/status…
Federico Viticci@viticci

As I explained in yesterday’s episode of @_connectedfm, here’s an example of why the floating bottom toolbar in Safari for iOS 15 beta 1 is a bad idea: Right now, it interferes with webpage elements, such as this Continue button on Amazon. Tapping the button triggers the bar.

@schneems @_cha1tanya @searls Defaulting to “default” sounds perfect and the way I feel like it worked before the concept of “platforms”. Maybe locking to a specific platform should be opt-in for whatever use-case that is trying to solve? Did you create an issue for this somewhere?

Did a bundler default change recently? All I did was run `bundle` locally, commit my Gemfile.lock, and then CI blew up (`Your bundle only supports platforms ["arm64-darwin-20"]`), as if my app only works on ARM Macs. Lockfile contains: ``` PLATFORMS arm64-darwin-20 ``` Halp

Here's a free (sustainable? I have no clue) idea for an app I find myself increasingly wish existed: - Choose "friends" from Twitter whose taste you trust - Only show me the tweets they "loved" - Give me filters for articles, photos, videos they liked - Literally nothing else

@rsms This one works like an email client (send it through an existing SMTP server + full control over format) but has list + merge functionality. Used it for years as a one-time purchase maxprog.com/site/software/…

Dear tweeters, what is the best way to create an email list which: - uses a custom domain name for the address and - is in plain text An ~hour of googling & reading about substack, mailchimp el al has left me confused at best. Is ye olde janky GNU Mailman really the only option?

@patrickc @stripe Small feature request. Checkout has the ability to detect country of origin. It would be nice if this were exposed in stripe.js to help prefill custom forms. That’s literally the only thing I can think of because Stripe is ✨

Reviewing @Stripe's roadmap for 2021 and, even compressed, it is *11 pages* of phenomenal material. (By a significant margin our most ambitious to date.) What are your top requests?
