My initial impressions of Valdi github.com/Snapchat/Valdi So far, their polyglot option looks way more complicated than @NativeScript: github.com/Snapchat/Valdi/bl… But their HTTP Client looks interesting, if it is actually native and not just running on Hermes: github.com/Snapchat/Valdi/bl…

Wait...Snapchat was built with Typescript? Snap just open sourced Valdi, the TypeScript framework that has powered their native apps in production for 8 years. "It compiles directly to native views on iOS, Android, and macOS—no web views, no JavaScript bridges."

Turn any GitHub repository into rich, navigable docs. Simply replace "github" with "deepwiki" in the repo URL.

📣 It's a landmark day for Swift, with three announcements that expand the ecosystem for developers everywhere. Here’s what’s new! 🧵

Wonderful talking with Gergely about building large scale systems, and how my work at 🍎 building LLVM/Swift for CPUs connect to my journey to unify AI compute with MLIR + Mojo🔥. Clarification: Apple's approach is nearly unique, being willing to take very hard swings at very big problems. Asking hard question is part of the process! Apple leadership asked many hard q's in Swift development, but they were the right questions to ask, and helped shape Swift into the success that it became. I credit leadership with asking hard questions, setting a high bar, and demanding excellence. This approach is what allowed it to bet full force on such a radical shift in its developer ecosystem - this required conviction, alignment, and determination at all levels. This is made possible through a very deliberate set of leadership principles. It also helped that Swift is a good thing of course :-) I cherish my time and learnings from Apple, and consider myself to carry "Apple DNA". It's a magical team!

We're featuring results of the summer GSoC projects over the next few days. Here's the first from @tarantism_priya, who worked on integrating Swiftly with the Swift VS Code extension: swift.org/blog/gsoc-2025-sho…

Chris Lattner (@clattner_llvm) is one of the most influential engineers of the past two decades. He created LLVM, Swift, contributed to TensorFlow, and created the Mojo programming language. What was the story about creating Swift - and why did he face resistance inside Apple when wanting to replace Objective C? What did he learn at Tesla, Google and CPU maker SiFive, that led him to working on Mojo at Modular? We cover these and many more in today's episode. Watch or listen: • YouTube: piped.video/watch?v=Fxp3131i… • Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/2Nk… • Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… Brought to you by: •⁠ @statsig ⁠ — ⁠ The unified platform for flags, analytics, experiments, and more. statsig.com/pragmatic •⁠ @linear – The system for modern product development. linear.app/pragmatic?utm_sou… My favorite quote from Chris in this episode: “I believe in the power of programmers. I believe in the human potential of people that want to create things. And that’s fundamentally why I love software is that you can create anything that you can imagine.”

Indie developers now have more tools in their toolkit for building with Swift across platforms, thanks to @skiptools. Exciting to see a Swift community member building a business with the open source Swift SDK for Android. skip.tools/blog/skip-fuse-fr… #Android

Errrrr, mix hex.search. Not mix hexdocs.search. I guess I have to keep the tradition of messing up announcements alive.

Announcement: hex.pm/blog/announcing-new-h… New home page: hexdocs.pm A massive thank you to @typesense and @PlausibleHQ, and kudos to github.com/ghivert, github.com/ruslandoga, and github.com/paulo-valim for making this happen!

Hexdocs now offers @TypeSense-powered documentation search across all packages and versions, link below. TL;DR: * Run `mix hexdocs.search` to open a search tailored to your project's dependencies * Coding agents can use tidewave.ai's MCP to search across your deps docs * Docs for Phoenix/Ecto/etc can provide cross-dependency search, improving onboarding

Cursor now natively supports git worktrees. You can run multiple agents in parallel, each with their own isolated copy of the codebase. This is great for comparing models or running the same model multiple times and picking the best result.

So @Dimillian introduced me to FlowDeck (flowdeck.studio) and it is awesome. Can't wait to see what you are cooking next @afterxleep!

Working on PS VR 2 controller support for Porta Nubi on Apple Vision Pro 🎮 If you want to make the controller input work on your UI / entities, make sure to add `.handlesGameControllerEvents(matching: .gamepad, withOptions: .receivesEventsInView(true))` to your views

@Google donated it to Linux foundation. Project can be found here open sourced - github.com/a2aproject/A2A
