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.

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.

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

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.

Not gonna lie a little nervous with so much bad sentiment for iOS 26. Running on beta 4 this is where I have the current dev build of Bridges. My hope was to do a big design refresh and add some features. I think I’m gonna shelve the journal app I was working on for now.

#liquidglass #buildinpublic

This is the code I'm using for this.

#buildinpublic #liquidglass #swiftui

After some trial and error I think this might be acceptable..

A short gif of my link saving app Bridges. I have been working on an animation bug for a bit. I think I have the view transitions I want. The problem is the bottom bar items. Its now animating with ought having a weird ghosting affect when I go from one view to the next and then back to the previous view.

Has anyone else encountered weird ghosting for toolbar items? I have a very very simple project to reproduce it but I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong or just SwiftUI. This is with Xcode beta 3 using liquid glass.

A simple video showing a test app I made to show weird toolbar behavior in iOS. This is using the Liquid Glass effects in iOS 26 where the next view is shown and toolbar items don't fade away properly.

This setup delivers the best of both worlds:
- Fast joins and cache-friendly indexes
- Opaque, secure public IDs with great DX

No need to compromise.
