Don't have the time to support this at the moment. Should have done this earlier! Please comment if you are interested.

 

Any SwiftUI related projects/packages you’re working on?

Something you’d like to share or perhaps need help with?

Awesome! How is it coming a long so far?

Aside:

Sorry for being late on this. Personal and professional developments had me taking a step back these past 30 days. Will be back to keeping things up to date moving forward.

 

Hello all,

Sorry for being MIA. Personal and professional developments had me taking a step back for the past 30 days. I will be continuing some significant pushes and updates from November 1st on-wards.

Prior to November 1st, I will be pushing updates to the desktop/MacOS counterpart so it is up to date with iOS/iPad's testflight.

Hope to run into some of them, some day. Has he gotten around to it yet?

[–] pexavc 7 points 1 year ago

Only on Reddit for a couple communities. But, Lemmy kind of became my main Social site overall. Replaced all of them for me.

Get enough personal funding for my parents to be taken care of.

Then build indie games for the rest of my life. Making single person RPGs. Where the stories can fill the void of my need to write novels. And the themes being a culmination of all the games I have played that had a role in guiding some sense of morality or drama. Such as the last mission on Halo Reach or the Mass Effect Trilogy, or Outer Wilds etc.

I’d want to compose, do the artwork, and the development for this, an all-out love letter to this form of storytelling. Spending years fine tuning every single detail as if it’s an elaborate sculpture. Details so small the crescendos of the OST, exactly match animations and playable cutscenes. All until, I feel I have reached a personal magnum opus, of the games released thus far.

And then say good bye. Moving on and living a simple life.

My saves are getting monopolized by your memes 😂

[–] pexavc 1 points 1 year ago

Ah yes! I almost do that already. With RSS as well. So you can combine communities and RSS Feeds, not mastodon users yet though. It's kind of fun standardizing all the different ActivityPub implementations into a single data model. Mastodon timelines or users are essentially whole communities.

To be honest, building a web-version of that pipeline as a NPM package might be helpful for others, piping in all the different types of fediverse content into a single stream.

 

So 3 things,

  1. A post will be created to poll the topics from the community on the theme/topic. Could be things like a photo album gallery or maybe something creative such as a piano roll that plays midi notes.

  2. At the top of the month, everyone has 2-3 weeks to build their project out. These have to be open-source. And the last week of the month, we all vote on the top picks and a pinned post will have links to the repos of all the contestants whom participated + the top 3 winners.

  3. Everyone is welcome to help each-other out, form teams, or simply handle their projects solo. BUT, you cannot use past projects in your solutions. Meaning, you can't simply integrate verbatim code from an existing repo or an entire solution that you previously created without good reason at least. Definitely, partial re-use is allowed.


I find that this could be an interesting opportunity to simply allow people share their work, introduce interesting solutions or simply learn from others if they are starting to learn SwiftUI.

I've had an idea, that I could easily pivot to this and become a FOSS solution. But, I wonder if it actually solves a problem. Essentially, I wanted my lemmy instance to allow sign-ups. But, the posts and channels were auto-generated. So when you log into the app or sign-up it creates a community in the instance along with it. (loom.nyc/c/pexavc) and then all the posts are automatically generated from the posts you save anywhere in the fediverse. (The app supports lemmy and mastodon for now). But, this would also allow all your bookmarks to essentially "federate".

Edit: Tbh, it sounds like a more "silent" cross-posting

[–] pexavc 4 points 1 year ago

Had a similar experience. Definitely agreed.

[–] pexavc 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah. I have found the simple act of "listening" goes so far. I had a manager whom always remembered the smallest things. Bring them up in team meetings months later. It was very motivating.

Edit: and obligatory, F*ck Cancer

 

In your experience/career, what were some things that you have taken note of from various managers/leaders, that made you feel comfortable working there and providing solutions for the organization as a whole?

[–] pexavc 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

Removed the other comment.

Because I think I get the point now. I actually never heard of these services before. And didn’t realize people liked to share their “saves/bookmarks”. Or have people actively follow what they are bookmarking.

It’s super interesting.

General Update

Busy with outside engagements at the moment. Otherwise, last week was focused on optimizations and other stability improvements.

  • Action extension to set instance url to any url you find outside of the app (tap a native share icon and then "set instance")
    • Works with RSS links / mastodon intances / lemmy instances
  • Cancel pending subscription requests
  • Ability to copy post urls to clipboard or open posts in safari via more button (three dots).
  • Added a "Set Instance URL" button to the hamburger menu to make it easier to find (Can also tap the url on the main feed header).

I will be free again This Thursday. Focused on pushing further stability improvements and nitpicks/ aligning iPad and macOS with their iOS counterpart. And finally starting the inbox/direct-messaging/push-notifications features.

Android

I have gotten a hold of a (low-end) non-foldable Android device. And am experimenting porting this work over. I also have a foldable Android device. So keeping foldable experiences when interacting with media in mind. Do not expect anything functional right now. But, 100% stay tuned for another open-source repo starting the Android version of Loom, fully native/Kotlin. Granite/LemmyKit/FederationKit will be converted over prior to the front-end app being built itself. These repos will become available October-November at the earliest.

When questioning your intentions as arrogant, entitled, immature vs confident, moral right, correctness. Or even questioning if the Duning Kruger effect is at play.

What process do you incorporate to back-up your self-judgement or in identifying your decisions/choices are in-fact "correct" in online discussions and/or personal life with friends/family.

How do you remove "self-doubt"?

 

Found this to be a really cool project for those in web development that were thinking about learning SwiftUI. And SwiftUI devs who want to attempt browser based solutions.

This project is really amazing for rendering HLSStreams and video in general. Especially on SwiftUI.

It exposes the metal textures prior to rendering which you can also tweak if you wanted to add some layer of effects in between.

And honestly overall having the ability to use ffmpeg easily as a swift package is a huge plus.

This is their FFmpeg kit: https://github.com/kingslay/FFmpegKit/tree/main

Here’s the SwiftUI implementation example: https://github.com/kingslay/KSPlayer/tree/develop/Demo/SwiftUI
