Had to change how the RSS feed is generated in my Hugo install. Which is why they no longer include the full post. Sorry about that. I’ll see what I can do to fix it.

I really wish there was some better built in way of building forms in iOS (Catalyst). I know SwiftUI Forms is a thing. But I want to create a “Mac native” form. I should probably learn AppKit one of these days. But I want to be able to run this app on an iPad as well.

I had a peak of interest for SwiftUI a while back. But after that experience I feel like I only want to build “handcrafted artisanal” UIKit apps instead. Getting to 90% is WAY faster with SwiftUI. But getting to insanely great takes another 90% and what feels like a lot of hacky code.

I really have to streamline my blogging workflow. Running CLI commands and manually keeping track of microblog numbers and committing and pushing is too high of a barrier to blog often. Maybe some cool Shortcut.app workflows and Working Copy / iA Writer integrations could be cool. Someday…

Added a Screen Time limit to social media apps on my iPhone. Set it to an hour. It had the interesting side effect of shortening my Instagram sessions because I want to preserve my precious time. Same with Facebook and Twitter. It almost completely killed the aimless scrolling. Made each app visit more “purposeful”. Will probably slowely try to decrease the time week by week.

Finally took the time to learn Katakana. Been putting it off for like two years. It took ~two hours spread over two days. Thanks @tofugu, for your learning guide!

Oh, Topshelf Records got Potage for pre-order today!

I’m spending an inordinate amount of time getting a UILabel subclass to correctly render a multiline label. This is not a problem in web programming. Auto Layout has been great, but we’re far from Nirvana.

Tweetbot 3 for Mac is out! Looks great.

I also need to practice patience. Most posts that I write on this blog are posted within minutes after being “done”. That’s not what I should do. Letting a post simmer for a day or two would probably improve overall quality and help me make my points more succinctly.
