Building apps @nemligcom. Toying with my own projects too. Previously: @shortcut_no @heynorthplay @robocat and @applypixels.

I built a tool for making simple iOS app sites.

🔧 Fork the repo
🗝 Enter iOS App ID in config.yml
📲 Upload video preview or screenshot
🎨 Customise site in config.yml (no HTML/CSS)
✅ Site becomes live at GitHub Pages repository URL

@plumpkeke Fixed! Thanks for reporting. The camera class was never removed from memory.

Launching a new hobby project today.

Calculate paint usage by scanning your room — no measuring or manual entry needed.

The app uses the LiDAR scanner and Apple’s RoomPlan API to easily and accurately provide an estimate.

@sriiiiik_ Sounds tedious. Were you a professional painter?

[Emil Baehr @ebaehr]

@tarang0510 Thanks for the kind words.
The model comes from the RoomPlan API, so there's not a lot of manual work to be done from my side to be honest.

[Emil Baehr @ebaehr]

@AndreasInk Thanks. That looks very helpful for those who need it.

[Emil Baehr @ebaehr]

@MaxxFrazer Oh yes, they can be quite harsh here. It seems like such a waste to always repaint everything.

[Emil Baehr @ebaehr]

@CalebPanza Most likely yes! There are probably even more similar applications.

[Emil Baehr @ebaehr]

@44B34R44 👊🤩

[Emil Baehr @ebaehr]

@plumpkeke Thanks for the heads up. I'll have a look at this.

[Emil Baehr @ebaehr]

@Bartozo_ Thanks! I hope it will work well for you.

To build the site I use this free tool I created some years back.

@nathanbrown128 Aha! Thought it was in relation to the Time Control app. Whoops.

[Emil Baehr @ebaehr]

Clean installed my Mac yesterday, and then went straight on to enable three-finger dragging with the trackpad.

What's the first thing you do when setting up a freshly installed Mac?

[Emil Baehr @ebaehr]

@matthewskiles @Gavmn Believe it was @flarup?

[Emil Baehr @ebaehr]

@mecid Super glad to hear. Cheers!

The exported theme file includes an extension on UIColor that automatically adapts to light and dark mode variants based on the current UITraitCollection.

If you have defined both a light and dark mode color palette, iOS will automatically change between the two variants based.

[Emil Baehr @ebaehr]

I find the process of going from Figma colors to Xcode very manual.

Made a Figma plugin to ease the process.

1. Organise colors into light and dark mode color palettes. (Dark mode optional.)
2. Export to .swift file.
3. Use the colors in your code.

@andyngo Thank you!

Today I released Time Control – a simple chess clock for over the board timekeeping.

Free on the App Store

@andrew_jackman Thanks!

[Emil Baehr @ebaehr]

@ulrikstoch Takker 😊

[Emil Baehr @ebaehr]

It has been a great project for diving into Swift and iOS development.

I deliberately designed the clock to give myself a chance to explore things like UIKit, Core Animation, Combine, haptics, audio and gestures. And even a bit of Swift Package Manager.

A fun fact for the chess enthusiasts: The app icon contains a glimpse of @osteslag's upcoming custom designed 3D chess set for @deepgreenchess.
