The ability to attach pictures to reminders in iOS 13 is going to revolutionize my husband and I’s shared shopping list. No more calls for clarification...just literally buy the thing in the picture. 👌🏻

I think the lookup is purely by type, but maybe one of you can answer definitively?

Can someone explain to me how “EnvironmentObject” knows which object to proxy in SwiftUI? Example:

@EnvironmentObject@twitter.com var p1: Person
@EnvironmentObject@twitter.com var p2: Person

Is there any way for ‘p1’ and ‘p2’ to point to different objects? Is the lookup purely by type?

I wonder if you’d have to embed an empty UIView that overrides keyCommands and becomes the first responder? 😬

Would a “pure” SwiftUI app be incapable of implementing keyboard shortcuts? Just thought of that as I scrolled by some of my UIKeyCommand overrides...

Every. dang. time.

It would be rad if the Xcode “Distribute App” thing let you pick all the options up front, then just did everything with one big progress bar.

I always think I’ve clicked the last “Next” button but switch back later only to see it sitting there with a bright “Upload” button.

I can’t stop laughing about these pictures. Some of the replies are pretty good too.

Wow, my internet connection must be in rare form today. My Xcode 11 beta download is estimated to take just over 2 hours instead of the usual 8-9. 😑 We’ll see how long that lasts...

Kitten update! Our friends’ 4-year-old named them Stripey Stripe and Whitey White and apparently we’re not allowed to change the names. 😆 They’ll be outdoor cats; we bought a fairly large chicken coop for them to live in for now so they stay safe.

We might be getting a couple kittens this afternoon! I’ll post some pictures if we do. 😺

The only thing missing (for me) from SwiftUI’s drawing options is the ability to add noise to a color or gradient. Adding a tiny bit of texture like that can really make a button look nice!

Whenever my 8-month-old is near my laptop, she reaches right for the trackpad and starts moving the cursor around. Should I get her a Mac Pro?

Now I want a Nintendo Switch just so I can catch Yamper, the corgi Pokémon.

iOS 13 Summer Plans: https://beckyhansmeyer.com/2019/06/13/ios-13-summer-plans/

lol, how can something be simultaneously deprecated and added? This property has been deprecated for years…

The music note icon in SF Symbols is just...not good. There’s a reason they went with a beamed pair of eighth notes (quavers) for the iTunes/Music logo: it looks a thousand times better than a single note (especially one with a bizarre stuck up flag).

Is it possible to add “drag to reorder” functionality to elements in HStacks and VStacks?

Pet peeve: people fighting about what will be the “future of computing” without mentioning *why* things have to change or evolve at all. What problems need to be solved? Or is it all just hovercrafts for the sake of feeling cool?

Oh heck yes I will because I need to read through more examples of people using it in real, complex apps. 🤩

Oh hell yes look at this SwiftUI code in NetNewsWire for iOS. https://github.com/brentsimmons/NetNewsWire/commit/902304c723087925fece2d6019cb7552f9a4c12b

Hmm, looks like Apple decided to deprecate all of its “Moment” -related PhotoKit APIs, probably due to the http://Photos.app redesign. It means the entire Moment-based photo picker I created won’t work anymore. Looks like I have a lot of re-thinking to do...
