Proxygen v4.5.0 now comes with scripting support in Mac and iOS apps. Write JavaScript code to modify HTTP traffic. It’s pretty great!

Get the app 50% off for a limited time at https://proxygen.app

After having listened to room corrected music upstairs all winter, listening music without correction downstairs just sounds wrong. There’s no way around it.

I wonder what a diffable data source NSOutlineView would look like 🤔

Proxygen v4.4.0 with a new Diff tool, JSON and XML path filtering, and a whole load of other fixes and improvements is now available at https://proxygen.app 🔬

LARGER THAN LIFE – 90's/00's R&B mix – DJ Anonymous a/k/a Ocean People Mary J Blige changed my life! I was a little hardcore hip hop kid when I heard “Be Happy” – and couldn’t get enough of it. Mid-90’s R&B; opened the door for me to appreciate a lot of different things.

Been playing this 90s R&B mix on repeat all winter 🎹🎸

I think we almost ready to go.

Now each side has buttons to paste from clipboard and load a file. Also the changes are categorized by additions / deletions / changes.

You can still toggle back to the old character based diff for more granularity.

Really happy with how the new Diff tool turned out. The simplified controls work better together and it’s much easier to read the diffs now. You can even drag and drop files right into the tool.

This kind of line aligning in wrapped text mode is what I’m after but might be a tall order. The spacer lines need to be dynamically updated as the lines are rewrapped on layout changes. Would need a whole custom text layout implementation.

Improved the diff output a little bit for upcoming Proxygen update. Added options for line wrapping and a unified view. The highlighting is now closer to what you see in other tools.

I wanted the blue checkmark on LinkedIn. The one that says “this person is real.” In a sea of fake recruiters, bot accounts, and AI-generated headshots, it seemed like a smart thing to do.

So I tapped “verify.” I scanned my passport. I took a selfie. Three minutes later — done. Badge acquired […]

Claude Opus 4.6 just wrote this async filter extension on Array which is quite nice.

Next Proxygen version will come with JSON and XML path filtering. It’s even pretty fast!

Just bumped into the most amazing bug on macOS Tahoe. An NSView with its layer’s background color set to .separatorColor disappears when I scroll an NSScrollView. Only in light mode, not dark. Only .separatorColor not other colors. Just fantastic.

Proxygen v4.3.0 with schemaless Protobuf data decoding and updated Tree-sitter syntax highlighter now available at https://proxygen.app 🔬

I wonder if the LLM skeptics will still keep trashing generated code when the frameworks and compilers they all use are written by LLMs.

Holy shit this looks amazing

Hate AI?

Don’t like AI features in your apps?

I’ve got good news for you! I have two apps that have zero AI features in them. Go get them now!

Great talk on AI by @cocoaphony

Getting started at @ARCticConference

Just arrived at @ARCticConference for the workshop tomorrow. Conference continues through Wed and Thu. This is going to be fun!

Just got schemaless Protobuf rendering working in Proxygen! In the Mac app it uses a proper NSOutlineView and on iOS this pretty printed text. But it’s already quite neat for peering into the values apps communicate with their APIs 🤓

If the features you add to your app in a month with Claude Max don’t bring back $200 additional revenue you’re doing something wrong.

I think the point of “LLMs are the new compilers” was that similar to how you don’t need to know assembly language to program in Swift you now don’t need to know Swift to make apps. We’re up one level.

You try the app, if it does what it’s supposed to, that’s enough.

@sjs They don’t necessarily need to be in the text field in app stores. There can be a popup in the app too. Whatever the users feel best with.

But I think larger apps don’t want to itemize each change too carefully cause that can quickly copy pasted to a competitors Jira to start working on.

@sjs Not sure about that. There’s people to oversee the release process, localization, QA, all sorts of things. If they wanted, adding release notes to app stores would be easy peasy. But they don’t want to do that.

(I mean there are exceptions like Slack for example)

Finland can’t innovate anymore, my ass

I’ll leave those two menu items without an icon just for you guys.
