Today was my last day at GitHub. I've had the time of my life starting & shipping the mobile app, helping the Desktop & CLI apps, and recently overseeing even more amazing people. I'm forever grateful for the opportunity and I'm excited to see the teams continue to crush it.

Love reading posts about navigation in iOS: coordinators, routers, presenters, and more. Some of these ideas are so cool!. Then I remember we reached hundreds of millions of users with just -pushViewController:animated:. Sometimes simple works.

It makes me smile every time I notice IGListKit at work in Instagram. We put a lot of work into making and improving it. Proud to see it holding up 4 years later. 🧵 with some memories on how it was built:.

Some news! Today is my last day at Instagram. The last 4.5 years have been magical. Saying goodbye this week reminded me how amazing the people are, and just how many lives I’ve touched. I‘ve always said I’d only leave for my dream role. I can’t wait to share more soon!

I still haven't written a single line of SwiftUI or Combine 🙃.
Just over a week until #WWDC2020 are we excited? . I’m terrified. While the explainers in our community are putting the final touches to their plans for blogs and videos, the rest of us will have to face a week of being reminded of how little we know.

I'll do my best to do some write ups on the interesting bits. My favs:. - React Query + normy for core model normalization (cc @tannerlinsley @TkDodo).- Automated Rails > Typescript model & API codegen (also powered our SDK).- Async loading ActiveRecord at serialization.- Robust.
The @trycampsite codebase is now open source

There’s something so powerful about a team that trusts each other enough to give tons of direct feedback. No being vague, no delay, no emotions. Just cut to the chase and make each other’s work even better. It’s liberating.

So this is a legit way to manually expand UIRefreshControl when using large title nav bars. W/out this it doesn't expand unless you physically scroll. I feel dirty.

I miss 3D Touch keyboard controls so much! Moving the cursor to a word then force-pressing to highlight the word was so nice. Also could activate cursor drag from anywhere (not just space).

. @twostraws is the only real SwiftUI documentation 👏👏👏.
Went with SwiftUI and am zooming. With the HN Firebase API + SDK I have a functioning iPhone + iPad + Mac app working in like an hour. Looks like garbage and tons to do, but impressed so far.

Spent the holiday morning on some of the most fun code I’ve written in a while. Funny thing is I’ve been sitting on this problem for MONTHS and couldn’t find a solution. Good reminder that sometimes hard problems require a time away to actually get solved.

PWAs wont replace native iOS apps. Last month we shipped a @trycampsite PWA. Having the app on our phones with badges and push is awesome, but the quality is not even close to a native app. We could spend ages to make some parts better, but there are major Safari bugs and.
