When the #swifts are gone, autumn is coming...

I won’t be there, but I endorse this talk, as Matt’s posts helped me understand the #Swift approach to concurrency

Haha, I know you know it’s a property of an instance!

"To declare a property, use the let keyword. A property has a name, followed by a colon and then the kind of data it holds. This property’s name is day, and it holds a String."

In #Swift, kinds of data are called types. You can read the code you added to an structure like this: “day is a property whose type is String.” Or you could say, “day is a property of type String.”

One of the things I would like to see in the future is getting this SQLite extension to work in combination with the new Foundation model. I’ve seen some people successfully build their own SQLite version that allows loading extensions (the Apple version does not allow this).

So, if you are able to get a working SQLite version, would it be possible to generate embeddings with the new Foundation models?

As promised in my SwiftUI for Mac 2025 article, here is a more detailed article about SwiftUI's new WebView.

The SwiftUI team have done an amazing job on this, and I can't wait to start using it in my apps and books.

I just wanted to share my progress wrapping Qt6 as a safe Swift library. The main changes since the last update:

I named it! The package is now called QwiftUI. The goal is unchanged - offer an intuitive (and safe) Swift API for building cross-platform apps with Qt6. The feel I'm going for is "AppKit but Qt" while making all of Qt's awesomeness available to Swift apps.

A glimpse at a little work in progress - trying to set up a nice set of demo apps showing how the new #swift #foundationmodels work. 20 demos so far - lots of small UI issues but they all work to some extent. If all goes well I’ll create some blogs to explain how to build them

I’ve been exploring Core Spotlight APIs for showing content in Spotlight search and experimenting with using the same search index to power search inside the app. I wrote a detailed post on how to implement this in a SwiftUI app: https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/CoreSpotlightIntegration/
