@SpaceIt_ow holy shit that's empty

Cancelled my @discord Nitro and Server Boost subscriptions over this. I had subscribed for over three years, and my little trust in Discord's ability to protect or respect my privacy has gone out the window.

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month https://t.co/43otMZjDkM

@jaredpalmer Make it so users are transparently paying for things that actually cost you guys money. If I’m already finding a way to make the things run on my machine, I’d be far happier paying for the bandwidth and log storage than the machine I’ve already set up for this.

what golden state basketball fans see before being eliminated from the playoffs

[Khan Winter @thecoolwinter]

Any Swift devs know if it's possible to make glass effects *not* have the disabled state? I'd like to keep a glass element the same color when the window is backgrounded but there's (ofc) not an API for it.

I’m planning on integrating it into a few projects where I’d like to replace JSON with CBOR for the size and speed gains. Super excited to get this out there :)

[Khan Winter @thecoolwinter]

Finished my Swift CBOR library! v1 is tagged and ready to use on any platform Swift supports. Really excited to start using it in my own apps, I’m hoping it’ll be handy for working with ATProto stuff as well!

Performance is significantly better than any other Swift implementation I could find, with support for UUIDs, half precision floats, and flexible date en/decoding. Pretty good test suite and fuzz tested for reliability.

[Khan Winter @thecoolwinter]

I’m especially proud of these two updates. Our text view is basically where I imagined it would be a few years ago when I set out to re-implement NSTextView from scratch for a code editor

[CodeEdit @CodeEditApp]

We've implemented performance improvements in our open-source Swift text view that reduces CPU time by up to 87% on each keystroke. The whole editor should feel more snappy!

Our text view is also now completely compatible with all macOS A11Y APIs!

[CodeEdit @CodeEditApp]

Announcing our latest release v0.3.6!🎉

This version packs in new features that continue to bring CodeEdit up to speed for use as a daily driver editor. Terminal task output, invisible characters, editor restoration, external file changes, and more!

@SpaceIt_ow @AlexMicheletti They should pay you to go to the rest of the games this season lmao

[Khan Winter @thecoolwinter]

@SpaceIt_ow What’s your response

[Khan Winter @thecoolwinter]

Great read

[Khan Winter @thecoolwinter]

@godbout @kindaVim @wooshyapp @scrollaapp Agreed, it doesn’t make a lot of sense for apps with like 2-3 panels of settings. Something like @CodeEditApp sure but not most widgets

[Khan Winter @thecoolwinter]

This one is huge for getting 'real work' done in CodeEdit. Combine it with the recent changes to restore your location in an editor, it means CodeEdit is nearing where I'd like it to be for a plain text editor.

On to language server support!

[CodeEdit @CodeEditApp]

In the next version of CodeEdit...

Editors reflect external file changes! If your file is modified by another program on your machine, CodeEdit will intelligently reload any open editors to show you the most up-to-date version of that file.

@eternalstorms Congrats!!!

[CodeEdit @CodeEditApp]

In the next version of CodeEdit...

CodeEdit remembers your cursors, undo stack, selections, and file positions when switching editors, even across sessions. Close your workspace and pick up exactly where you left off next time.
