As NASA prepares an attempt to reboost an astronomy spacecraft in a decaying orbit, it is open to doing something similar for Hubble, if its operating costs can be reduced.

I'm excited to announce that GearCalc - a bicycle gear calculator for Mac and iPad - is now available for beta testing via Apple TestFlight. What is GearCalc? GearCalc takes the guesswork out of bicycle gearing. Whether you're speccing a new build, planning for a big climb, or just curious about how a chainring swap...
SwiftUI is Apple's declarative UI framework for building user interfaces across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. Introduced in 2019, SwiftUI uses Swift's strong type system and result builders to let developers describe the UI as a function of state; the framework diffs and renders updates automatically.
Core ideas
Flutter is Google's cross-platform UI framework for building applications from a single Dart codebase. Unlike React Native, Flutter does not use platform-native UI widgets; it renders its own widgets pixel-by-pixel via the Skia (and now Impeller) graphics engine. The result is highly consistent visuals across iOS, Android, web, desktop, and embedded.
Core ideas
React Native is a cross-platform framework from Meta that lets developers build iOS and Android applications using React. UI components map to native platform widgets at runtime, so the apps feel native while sharing most of their codebase across platforms.
How it works
JavaScript (or TypeScript) code runs in a JS engine (Hermes by default on modern versions) and communicates with the native…
Kotlin is a statically typed, modern programming language developed by JetBrains and adopted by Google in 2017 as the preferred language for Android development. Kotlin runs on the JVM (with full Java interop), compiles to JavaScript and native code, and powers both server and mobile codebases.
Key language features
iOS is Apple's mobile operating system, powering the iPhone, iPad (as iPadOS, a close derivative), and iPod touch. iOS is a closed source platform with first-party SDKs, a curated App Store as the distribution channel, and tight hardware-software integration that defines the experience.

Katalyst Space Technologies’ Link spacecraft is set to head to orbit in June 2026 onboard Northrop Grumman’s Pegasus XL air-launched rocket. NASA awarded Katalyst a $30 million contract for the mission in September 2025.
A spacecraft designed to raise the decaying orbit of a NASA astrophysics satellite has passed environmental tests ahead of a launch as soon as June.

If you can’t make it to the Bay Area/haven’t been invited to the campus during the Worldwide Developer Conference this June, you can still get together with your local Mac geeks, meet up, and enjoy the event. Apple has published a list of 28 conference-adjacent and community-hosted events around the world during the week-long event, […]

A 21-year-old man went on trial in Austria on Tuesday over a plot to attack a Taylor Swift concert, which led to shows by the US megastar in the Alpine nation to be scrapped in 2024. Three dates in Swift’s record-breaking “Eras” tour were cancelled in the summer of 2024 after authorities warned of the […]

Updating an open source library taught me a valuable lesson for making your codebase agent-friendly — small steps can have a big payoff.
This is nifty. While Apple offers an Apple TV Remote app for the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, it doesn’t offer one for the Mac. As such, developer Nick Ustinov stepped in and built Itsytv, a free macOS app for controlling your Apple TV. The application functions as a menu bar app that allows you […]

Writing this in 2026 AD (234 AdR), crypto is solidly in a “winter”. As valuations have fallen, so has the intensity of the debate surrounding the topic. I therefore feel it apt to use this opportunity to briefly write down my thoughts and opinions regarding this otherwise contentious topic.
First of all I should make clear that I do have a (small) financial interest in the success of crypto…
We used Flutter Add-to-App to ship a side feature inside an existing Android and iOS app, saving weeks of duplicated work while keeping performance and user experience intact.
The ground beneath software engineering is shifting, and the teams moving fastest aren’t rejecting LLMs, they’re weaponising them.
Leo Dion and I discuss building Plinky from scratch, the technical decisions behind using SwiftUI and Vapor, creating delightful user experiences, and the journey from working at Twitter to becoming an indie developer.
Introducing Monarch, a simple yet flexible migrations library for Swift that helps manage user data changes across app updates with minimal hassle.
Open sourcing Recap, a Swift library for creating beautiful What's New screens to highlight app updates and keep users informed about new features.
Plinky was featured in Indie App Spotlight Issue 20, where we discussed the app's origin story, design philosophy, technical implementation, and the journey of building a successful indie app.
Peter Witham and I discuss the incredible experience of having Plinky featured on the App Store, the journey of indie app development, and how doing good work creates opportunities.
