Today was a first. We had to abandon an Airbnb that we checked in to today because of mice.
Thankfully we found an alternative spot that actually ended up cheaper. So it all worked out ๐ฎโ๐จ

I've had some great feedback so far. I'd love to get some more eyes on my next app to get it ready for launch!
Sounds good! Better than here (lots of snow)
Absolutely!
Anybody live somewhere or going somewhere soon with a decent amount of sunshine and would like to try my new app? ๐โ๏ธ๐ฑ
Close enough ๐

29 degrees? Thatโs incredible weather for February!
(Temperatures mentioned are in Celsius, the only real temperature scale)
Spent the past week in 28 degree weather, and now flying somewhere that is closer to -28 (with windchill) ๐

Big milestone! ๐
My first app is now on Setapp.
Iโve been a subscriber since 2017, so this feels pretty surreal. ๐คฉ
Transcrybe live-translates any audio on your Mac:

Tell a friend to save a life:

name.localizedStandardContains(searchText)
The latter ignores case, but also ignores diacritics (cafe vs cafรฉ), handles localized variants (แบ โ ss, etc), and is supported in SwiftData.

The details aren't quite sorted out yet, but one thing is for sure. I will be at Swift Rockies this year, running a Swift Concurrency lab!

I just signed a petition demanding the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry Ban X/Twitter in Canada. Join me in signing here: you.leadnow.ca/petitions/ba... you.leadnow.ca/petitions/ba...
Bizarre that Apple deprecated MKPlacemark in favour of MKMapItem when the latter seems like a huge step back ????
Bought Civilization VII today, so that's the next week sorted.
Mark your calendars for July 2026 because we have another conference in this hemisphere of the world friends!

Finishing the year off strong!
Sรถka 3.1 - launching later this month - introduces smart bucket list suggestions.
Built on top of Foundation Models, Sรถka+ subscribers will now get fresh goal suggestions tailored to their existing bucket lists.
My wife and I have been testing ourselves for the last few weeks, and I'm now ready to open up the beta publicly. Whether you've used Sรถka before or not, feedback big and small is appreciated from everybody.
You can join the public TestFlight here: testflight.apple.com/join/qqAZ2Gv0
๐ It's been a while since I've publicly asked for help!
I've been working on Sรถka 3.1, which not only introduces multiple new features (including goal suggestions for existing bucket lists and Image Playground support), but also a fairly large code refactor under-the-hood.
