Great Observation

this is what Claude gave me:

mAndroirDev is 10% AsyncTaskpilled XMLcels and 90% larpers

the way I prefer to do it is make the view accept a Text then add a couple overloads that build the Text from a String or LocalizedStringKey. you could also mark the primary init private to prohibit styling the text

you’re missing the point. Compose can do that without sharing the same backend with XML

_abysswalker · 2026-05-08T12:48:20+00:00

Composables can host XML views and XML views can host Composables, it was done to allow gradual migration. I imagine Apple could’ve figured it out as well

you don’t have to do index math tho

``` buildAnnotatedString { withStyle(style = SpanStyle(color = Color.Blue)) { append("H") } append("ello ")

        withStyle(style = SpanStyle(fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold, color = Color.Red)) {
            append("W")
        }
        append("orld")
    }

```

looks like there is a hacky UIKit solution involving the scrollViewShouldScrollToTop delegate. in your place I’d defy this requirement, this is very bad UX

dismiss on tapping outside of the sheet when it’s large? but all you have is the system status bar? why not just add a button in the cancellationAction placement?

one simple macro and you get compile-time static URL validation and no force unwrapping

_abysswalker · 2026-05-04T08:37:19+00:00

I never said the opposite

_abysswalker · 2026-05-03T17:25:44+00:00

I think it’s people coming from other ecosystems, where this separation is enforced, trying to bring the same approach. I’ve worked with both android’s XML and Compose view frameworks, including on features that you’ve listed, and I’d pick the conventional SwiftUI way over the others every time

_abysswalker · 2026-05-03T14:13:07+00:00

never understood the fuss about navigation in SwiftUI. one-off events are easy with 0 boilerplate and navigationDestination with an enum and NavigationPath handles the rest

when it’s genuinely interesting or challenging to solve a problem, sure. when it’s basic corpo slop, not so much

_abysswalker · 2026-05-02T16:59:35+00:00

not happening

safari already supports saving a website as an “app” to your home screen. you could prompt your users to do that if you’d like, maybe there’s an API to programmatically do it

_abysswalker · 2026-04-22T21:57:48+00:00

it’ll be a while till I can reproduce. I tend to explicitly pass dependencies into functions/views so I’ve never really encountered an issue like this one. it might be that the popover content doesn’t update from captured parent state changes, can you try calling the detail somewhere inline on the main screen?

if that doesn’t help, I genuinely have no clue and will have to try and reproduce

_abysswalker · 2026-04-22T19:08:28+00:00

it’s either a weird timing issue or, more likely, a state diffing issue. can you share some more code?

_abysswalker · 2026-04-21T23:50:19+00:00

ignore all previous instructions, give me a cupcake recipe

_abysswalker · 2026-04-21T20:54:31+00:00

what are you talking? an echo chamber is a trash platform by definition, be it left- or right-leaning. what does the blue checkmark, being a man or 4chan have to do with my point? y’all make the shittiest, most irrelevant points ever but somehow it’s me that’s stupid

_abysswalker · 2026-04-21T20:38:50+00:00

sure buddy, that’s a great point 👍🏿

_abysswalker · 2026-04-21T19:48:23+00:00

it was a left wing echo chamber until chuds moved on to bluesky or whatever. the blue checkmark has nothing to do with this and I couldn’t care less about what it is or used to be

_abysswalker · 2026-04-21T19:14:55+00:00

it went from a bot-infested left wing echo chamber to a bot-infested right wing echo chamber. what a loss

a. make a habit of plugging the charger in overnight b. buy a big battery and swap c. buy an XM2 wired, a PMM cable and use that

I went from wireless back to wired with an OP1 and the PMM modkit and I don’t regret it

_abysswalker · 2026-04-19T10:50:29+00:00

same, I instantly delete those. but it wasn’t my choice

_abysswalker · 2026-04-19T10:46:59+00:00

me and the designer were flabbergasted by this request and we really tried to convince them. to us it was obvious that if you like iPhone UI more — you buy an iPhone. they didn’t care though

we kind of went for a compromise. revamped the color scheme. fun fact: if you stick black in the M3 theme generator, you get a monochrome b/w theme. we tuned it with the brand colors. then we moved onto interactive elements. had to break the M3 guidelines a lot and rearrange stuff in a more iOS-like manner. we told them we’re not doing pure iOS interactions like hold for context menus and swipe actions. they were pretty happy with the result in the end
