Who gives a shit. It’s not made for people who care about tech like myself. Believe it or not, but the average person doesn’t care about the pill shaped cut out on iPhone or notch on MacBook’s or big bezel on Studio Display… They also won’t care about the big bezel on the Neo.

Is it not kinda hilarious how Microsoft suddenly seems to care about their users now that Apple launched the MacBook Neo?

I just tested it and I can successfully run my macOS app from IntelliJ with the KMP plugin.
Will need to test how fast the LSP is - this was a big problem I have had with both Zed and VSCode.

2026-03-20 13:43:28 UTC

These problems are now fixed - moving on to the next bugs...
Recently, I discovered a strange bug with lines that have wrapping. For example, if we have two lines that wrap around, and I then click the top half of index 0 of last line, then the caret is placed at last index of the line above.
But then if I click bottom half of index 0, the caret is placed correctly at index 0 of that line.
So yeah, for some reason it depends on the y-value of click position.
Apparently, `NSSelectionAffinity` is using the `.midY` coordinate to determine where the caret will be placed.

What is the URL for Blossom on Nostr.build?
Have tried a few different, but bouquet.slidestr.net is not finding any of my Blossom media…

I just found out the Haven app can find all your Blossom media and save it locally as a backup.
https://github.com/btcforplebs/haven-mac
The only thing I can’t get working is videos in the ‘Viewer’ tab. I’m unable to play my Blossom videos and they also cannot show a thumbnail. Getting “No Preview ERROR 404”, but otherwise it’s working great.

When I try using the 'Mac Relay Sync' feature in the iOS app, I click the 'Sync Now' button. Then while loading it says 'Connection Error' and then I get the message 'Already up to date' after it finished loading.
Can you verify if that feature is supposed to work or not?
If I quit the relay on Mac, I get the same exact messages, so it does not seem to work for me.

Implemented a slash command to open a menu as a quick way to change the block type.

I'm considering adding a submenu for headings rather than having from level 1 to 6 in the main menu.
Also, would be great to have a search function.

Just implemented the backend logic in `SettingsManager.swift` to enable and disable the floating formatting toolbar.
At some point, I will add a toggle in the UI of the `SettingsView.swift`.

2026-03-12 19:29:50 UTC

The functionality of the formatting toolbar works nicely except for one bug I just discovered… When clicking on a styling button once, it applies the style, but then clicking a second time will hide the toolbar instead of keeping it showing. #dev #Swift #SwiftUI #AppKit #macOS

I just needed to pass the `windowId` to all the formatting notifications. Now it works correctly across multiple window instances.
Besides fixing the bug, I implemented a new feature that allows pasting text without formatting by calling `NSTextView.pasteAsPlainText` using shortcut `Cmd+Shift+V`.
**Next bug to fix:** When I paste some text with formatting (using normal `Cmd+V`), the text is black with a small font-size. Then once I move my cursor over the text view, the text suddenly gets the correct styling - so it seems like the text view is re-rendering.

For my notes app, I’ve been experimenting with using local plain-text #Markdown files, while also keeping a #SQLite database that stores exact replicas of these files.
The SQLite database is used only for indexing, which should make keyword searches in notes much faster. #dev

With my new #sewing hobby I’ve been looking for YouTube channels teaching how to sew garments.
One of the really good channels I’ve found is called Victoria Jin.

Would actually be nice having the option to search for notes containing specific keywords directly in the profile page on #Nostur

2025-09-17 20:18:36 UTC

The new UI on #Nostur app looks really good.
Only bug I noticed is the rectangle-thing showing. It shows user info when scrolling down, but otherwise it should probably just be hidden.
At first, I thought it was a search field…

I think I'll get the new AirPods Pro 3, but not tempted by the 17 Pro Max... Already have a 15 Pro Max and I just don't see any reason to upgrade. Was really hoping they would finally get rid of the camera/face ID cutout, but nope, that didn't happen.

It’s technically a folder, but on macOS it appears as a single file because it uses a package extension (`.textbundle`).
**Then it’s all bundled and easily shareable:**
My Note.textbundle/
├── text.md
├── info.json
└── assets/
├── some-image.png
├── screenshot.webp

I think I finally figured out a solution to this annoying problem! 😅 🎉
I created a new separate project with a simplified version of the code only for debugging.
**The solution:**
It turns out that it's possible to wrap the `ScrollView` in a `GeometryReader` which calculates the total window space.
Then I am using the value from the `GeometryReader` to calculate the total height without the header. The header is the blue box that contains the document name and information like word counter.
The calculation is simply `geometry.size.height - headerHeight` and now I have the minHeight value for the `NSTextView`.
It's even a dynamic value that updates when the user resizes the window.
From web development, I'm used to just being able to say `width: 100%` and then it works, but with native development, it's not as easy 😂 #dev #Swift #AppKit

Will look at it again today. Hopefully I can find a solution.
It can’t be this difficult just to get a `NSTextView` to stretch full height inside a `ScrollView`…

It might be a good idea to simply start by making a #WYSIWYG editor that writes and reads #Markdown files, but without the show/hide functionality of the Markdown syntax in 'live-preview' mode. Instead, I have now made an editor that only shows the rendered Markdown using `swift-markdown` package. I will also have a 'source mode' (this mode should show the raw Markdown without any formatting).
Building an #Obsidian-style live-preview editor is so damn difficult. My current hack is to render the Markdown syntax at a font size of 0.01, which makes it look invisible. That works visually, but it breaks keyboard navigation, because the cursor still has to step through those hidden characters. For example, if I have **bold**, the two invisible asterisks (**) on each side are still in the text buffer, so arrow-key movement feels awkward as the caret gets stuck on them.
This project is frustrating but I can't give up! I want this to work out 😂 #dev

I moved away from building my own #Markdown parser. Now I am trying to use the package called `swift-markdown`.
It's certainly more convenient because it takes care of all the edge-cases.
Now I just need to think about how I am going to hide and show the Markdown syntax when selecting some text with styling applied.
I tried cheating a bit by making the syntax a size of 1, so that the characters are so small they become invisible. This worked, but if having double or triple asterisks (** or ***), then it will obviously create more spacing when hidden, because they are still there, just a very small size.
I can definitely understand why there are so few editors that support live-preview the way #Obsidian does it... #dev

Well, maybe it’s intentional. I just find it to look a bit odd. Gradient should probably match the BG color.

I like that Nostr is just an open protocol.
It means that I can embed my Nostr posts on my personal website to use in a blog section.

On holiday in Italy right now. Haven't been coding much these pasts days because it's so warm here 🥵 My body can't handle the heat... I'm used to Danish weather, so I can't really be judged 😂
Yesterday afternoon, I did manage to implement some validation for usernames and passwords for my social media project. Now, usernames can only be lowercase and can contain letters, numbers, dashes, and underscores.
