If you’d like to try @bridges now’s a great time! It’s been updated for iOS & iPadOS 26 along with shortcuts support. Planning to launch the 2.0 of the app soon.
Feeling much better about the @bridges share sheet now 🙂. I feel like I can see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Any suggestions as to why this keeps happening? In my share extension the view that is presented is wildly unreliable. It gets dismissed as soon as it opens. Or after typing some text it’s never a clear reproducible reason. I am using a UIHostingController to embed a SwiftUI as the root view. The strange thing is it doesn’t happen on the simulator or when building from the share extension target.
This has been very confusing to debug. I feel like I just noticed this behavior in the later betas 9 and the RC. Essentially the view gets dismissed on its own. Sometimes it’s after entering a random amount of text in a TextField. It’s using SwiftUI not UIKit or storyboards and only happens on device. I thought it was the LinkPresentation API but I was wrong that isn’t what’s causing this behavior. When I build it from the share extension target it does not have these issues.
Making progress on adding shortcuts for @bridges 🙂. I’ve wanted to add them for a long time. Finally getting around to it 😅.
An iPhones showing the shortcuts app. Some shortcuts I made for my link saving app Bridges. It shows how you can get links from a filtered search where the title contains Apple

I’m probably doing something wrong but when making an app intent I keep getting weird return values. I want to get a string array as a return type but all I get is this printed return value. Has anyone done this before or even use a shortcut to write to the clipboard on iOS? If I add the system action copy to clipboard it returns the correct array I give it. But I’m trying to make this a single action.

An Apple note that shows weird output from a shortcut I’m making.
Just want to see if anyone else wants to try the iOS 26 @bridges beta. It’s adopting Liquid Glass and I’m slowly working on new features like shortcuts support.
Bridges is my app that lets you save things for later. It specializes in letting you create long lists of links with different formats. Great for podcast show notes and things like that.
Finally getting around to shortcuts ☺️. Feels good to be working on Bridges again 😁.
Alright finally starting to get the ball rolling on this one 🧐

If your on iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 and want an app to save things for later you can join the @bridges beta 🌁. I am super excited to be working on this again. I have some new features in the pipeline for it but this focuses on updating the UI for Liquid Glass.

Before and after iOS 26 has a long way to go still. But I’ve been liking Liquid Glass overall especially in beta 6. I want to bring my apps to adopt it. I miss putting more work into my first real app @bridges. I don’t have enough time to update the Mac version too. But I’m hoping to hit day 1 for the iPhone and iPad app.
Has anyone else found that the SwiftUI modifier .buttonStyle(.glassProminent) doesn't work properly on the iPad's sidebar using NavigationSplitView? This is running on beta 6. I'm trying to give the add folder button that look like I do in the middle column for adding a link to that selected folder.
Here's a cool new little feature: The success redirect URL from signup forms can now include Liquid tags. This means you could now redirect to example.com/$contact_email to show a personalized message! #emailmarketing #buildinpublic
Currency devaluation in action: Back in January, 8 USD was worth about 8 EUR.
The Dollar has since fallen so far that $8 now equals only €6.90. Unfortunately this means I have to raise the USD prices for new Keila XS subscriptions from $8 to $9.50.
TIL: Safari hides SVGs in Flexbox containers if they don't have an explicit width attribute. This seems like a bug to me.
svg {width: 100%} should fix the issue and hopefully not cause unexpectedly large images elsewhere🤞. #webdev #css #buildinpublic #webkit #opensource

Another small bugfix: When an existing contact submits a form with double opt-in, they actually receive the confirmation email now: https://github.com/pentacent/keila/issues/441 #buildinpublic #opensource #bug
Small but powerful quality of life improvement suggested by @lislegaard and now live on Keila Cloud: When you create a new campaign, the settings from your latest previous campaign are automatically used as the default. https://github.com/pentacent/keila/issues/452 #buildinpublic #opensource

After years of watching other people write about software development, I decided that I wanted to give it a try too…
So I started a new blog!
To kick things off I wrote a (slightly belated) SwiftUI Wish List, but what I’m really looking forward to sharing is a new app I’m working on, and some of the development (mis)adventures I’ve had.
