Craft is beautiful on macOS Tahoe — it really shows the high-end of what you can do with Mac Catalyst

Happy macOS Tahoe release day! 🥳

macOS Tahoe RC, everybody

If you go back to the WWDC session about Liquid Glass, you will notice that almost none of the examples they show actually look or animate like that in the final release, on any platform. Showing off bullshit fake vaporware UIs used to be Microsoft's thing, and a defining difference between design at the two companies. Sadly, not anymore. Turns out much of what they presented at WWDC was vaporware too

We're locked in 🫡

The OSes included in the Xcode 26 release candidate are 'basically' the same as the beta 9 seeds. I think a huge pile of bugs are about to ship; macOS and visionOS especially are in a really bad state right now

The oldest deployment target in one of my iOS 26 updates is iOS 14

You can't even install an iOS 14 Simulator anymore

I know Apple has got used to making its share of Microsoft-scale screwups lately, but taking the two best UI frameworks ever made, UIKit and AppKit, and throwing them under the bus for something designed to build watch apps really does take the cake. In hindsight it seems hard to believe a company whose bread and butter is consumer software would make a decision that reckless and stupid. It hasn't made for better apps in any way, shape, or form. I hope, with time, that madness passes
