Apologies for the slowdown in new beta builds/invites. I bit off way more than I could chew redoing the editor + iPad support 😅

That said I’m really pleased with how the new editor has turned out. I've added rich text formatting, inline attachments and document scanning.

New build coming soon 💌

#SwiftUI Has anyone got openWindow to work on iPadOS from the Command menu? Console throws "Use of OpenWindowAction requires the SwiftUI App Lifecycle" (the whole app is). Button works fine when inside a View (and works on Mac)

You haven't LIVED until you've spent an hour trying to wrestle your dog to get a wasp’s stinger out of their paw.

The good news is she's fine ❤️

The bad news is my face and arms are not.

Thinking of open-sourcing the #SwiftUI framework used to build Big Mail/Big News. It recreates a bunch of ‘missing’ system UI components (toasts, menus, pickers, etc), and has some common patterns for navigation, styling, etc.

It's one package right now (BigSwiftUI) but I'm torn whether to split it up into smaller packages.

Anyone interested in a package like this? Split it up or no?

Headlines I did not expect to read

I have actually become obsessed with adding DocC to everything. It's remarkable how good everything looks with relatively little effort.

Okay I'm only adding font formatting because without it my panel is unbalanced.

This is how you prioritise features guys.

Wow such value for money

I may have left Reddit open too long

The folks at Cowboy just published "Bikey” and it makes this really easy.

They were kind enough to send me a preview build yesterday and it works great!

What happens when you have a hit Toot

And so it begins…

Lots of little refinements in the latest Big Mail build.

One I'm quite happy with is the Smartbox editor now warns you of 'impossible' combinations. And a bit like Xcode, gives you a one tap fix.

Now hopefully for a few less support emails 😅

Question for my iOS dev lovelies:

- Why are some iOS 17 crash reports available to view in Xcode, but some aren't?

- How do you go about tracking down exceptions that seem to be raised inside SwiftUI? (I don't use UICollectionView, but I assume LazyVStack does??) #SwiftUI

Why am I like this

This is one of those “one a billion” things. Structural failure is almost unheard of. And to be running a train over it? Huge yikes.

Thankfully no one was hurt. Curious to find out what happened!

Intamin: Some of our components explode.

B&M: Hold my beer.

Wishing everyone a lovely weekend from Brighton ☀️

Here’s a sneak peek at Big Mail running on visionOS:
