I recently made a very similar tool but focused on making small React apps instead of presentations. A basic starter html file with an example app: https://glider-app.netlify.app/glider.html Docs: https://glider-

For context, my engineering team is fairly small – no guarantees this scales well for larger organizations. I capture the reasons for decisions on why code was written a particular way or why a particular architecture was decided upon in co

I’d love to see a variation on the concept that minimizes information on each card. It would of course result in a larger deck, but would reduce visual noise while playing games. I think one colored suit symbol and one rank is the most need

I also do my best to stick to a "one strike and they're out" personal policy. But I also have apps that push marketing through notifications _and_ are urgent on a reoccurring basis (usually delivery or rideshare apps). For th

Is a normal (non-rose) gold (or even a brass) color something we could look forward go in the future? Was the decision to not sell that color based on expected demand for the color or did it not work for some other reason?

I personally prefer leaving the measurement in the instructions for two reasons. 1. I'll often use the ingredients list (and quantities there) before cooking to ensure that I have everything I need ahead of time. Depending on what ingr

I love that you made it so simple to use! I've started building a similar app before, except with more of a focus on the timestamps than the text (prioritizing time tracking over note taking). I ended up switching gears to different si

Genuinely, I'd love to see this approach be taken: allow for a set of characters to be used as list delimiters. I personally like the set to be comma, semicolon, and newline, but of course this set would need to be varied depending on

Totally agreed! It's a problem I'd love to see solved well. I've wanted a route planning / mapping app that can achieve advanced features for a few years now. I'd love to build it myself but honestly, I'd much

Set up should be simpler than needing to manually copy codes into your settings app. When a QR code is present on screen that resolves to a TOTP seed, an additional context menu option should be present to "Add Verification Code in Pas

This is possible and relatively easy for Apple to do: for most (if not all) permissions, a declaration that you intend to ask for permission is required in the app's Info.plist manifest file. When permission is requested and you'v

In the US, we tax roads by usage via fuel (gasoline and diesel) tax [^1]. It's a simple solution: the more miles you drive, the more fuel you use; the more fuel you use, the more tax you pay. Vehicles that use more fuel per mile driven

Great article! I'd never considered the mathematical risks associated with this. Now I'm curious what the numbers would look like if it were a cultural norm for everyone (who passed the screening exam) to donate their kidneys in t

A Dark Room is pretty high up on my list. While it's a very bare bones interface, its visual design is intentional and consistent through different stages of gameplay.

This is present in the App Store. It's not a short line-item similar to in-app puchase presence, instead it's a full-width card that indicates details on what information is collected. https://developer.apple.com/a

This is such a welcome addition! I totally agree: it likely took all of 30 minutes to implement (plus testing, QA, etc time). I'd love to see another Clock feature: let me choose a new timer/alarm sound _without_ immediately previ

A simple solution: On the dialog for the Nth advertisement, also provide a "disable AirDrop for 1 hour" choice. If the user wanted to receive these again, they can re-enable AirDrop from Settings or the Control Center.

Elm typically leans into this exact style (though without semicolons)! It's refreshing seeing support for this delimiter-first, dangling closing delimiter style in a more imperative and mainstream language.

The rule of thumb estimation number I've always heard for calculating a salaried job's hourly rate is 2080: 365 / 7 ≈ 52 (weeks) * 5 (work days per week) * 8 (hours per day) = 2080 hours per year Given that very estimated num

That last 10% is easily accessible by reaching into UIKit. Crossing that boundary is much easier in practice than one might expect at a first glance of the docs for doing so.

I'm using SwiftUI extensively when I get the opportunity. The team that I'm on has decided to shift our UIKit+Storyboards app towards leveraging SwiftUI more. It won't work for 100% of the app, but that's alright because

There are official escape hatches in SwiftUI to let you leverage UIKit. As someone actively working on a slow migration from UIKit to SwiftUI (where possible), it doesn't feel discouraging to wrap a UIKit view to use it in SwiftUI if n
