For all Apple developers already localizing apps with String Catalogs or want to get started with that I have a new app on TestFlight. Unlike other tools out there it supports GPT-4o, lots of validations, and full editing of device / plural variations. stringcatalogtranslator.com

Thank you Microsoft for supporting my open source! Will continue to maintain 👨🏼‍💻

Techniques for Automatic Merging of String Catalogs in Multi-Package Monorepos In this article, Luca Ban ᯅ introduces a method for automatic merging of string catalogs in multi-package monorepos without requiring additional operations. fatbobman.com/en/posts/mergi…

Quick SwiftData note: Implementing `Codable` in your `Model` you **must** use the same property names for your CodingKeys as the properties of the `Model`. Otherwise SwiftData will not save the property at all! This is AFAIK undocumented behaviour that cost me 8h to find out 🥲

If you’re moving from TypeScript to Swift 🐦‍⬛, I’ve made this handy dandy CheatSheet to help you find equivalent methods. For example TS `array.every()` in Swift being `.allSatisfy()`. Check it out here: 👉 mesqueeb.github.io/SwiftVsTypeScr… #Swift #TypeScript #Coding

Finally got around adding a short video to my AppStore page for Let's Go ⚫️⚪️

Building on a my AR board game library 🎲🃏, I spent a week crafting a prototype of MARVEL SNAP in AR! For  Vision Pro ᯅ Here's what it looks like 😃

Apple bringing Reality Kit cross platform compatibility to iPhone feels like they are setting the stage for Apple Glasses with 3D rendering offloaded onto the iPhone

In my visionOS research I found something spooky 👻 about the relation between frame and volume sizes: A volume renders at 99cm at 1353 points, 100cm spans 1354-1366 (12 points). That suggests 1cm = 12 points, so 100cm should be 1200 points…? 🤔 But it’s 1360 points! 😅

Recently added more pages to Swift VS TypeScript cheatsheet! 📖 I remember the syntax for closures in Swift really confused me at first, but laying it all out next to TypeScript, it's all so clear and oh so similar! 😁 Swift VS TypeScript Functions: mesqueeb.github.io/SwiftVsTypeScr…

Making progress on my card game for Apple Vision Pro! 🃏 Shuffling cards still has some bugs but opening a pack of cards is fun 😂 #visionOS #development

I'd love an M4 Mac mini with built in Battery... That way I can bring it outside and code with Apple Vision Pro.

Don't try to work with GroupActivities on a background thread or from an actor... handle your GroupActivities code in a `MainActor` isolated class!!!

Finally got SharePlay working flawlessly!! And fully cross platform! 💻🥽 RealityView support for macOS saved me! Now I can debug by playing myself on the Mac & Apple Vision Pro 😀

Some progress on my WIP card game for  Vision Pro! I'm experimenting with dragging around cards on macOS for SharePlaying with someone on visionOS. The UX solutions I'm coming up with are so fun : D 🃏🥽 #visionOS #development
