🚀 Introducing MYCloudKit. A Swift package that makes sync + sharing with CloudKit super simple. And by simple, I mean: zero CloudKit knowledge required.

No need to touch NSPersistentCloudKitContainer or CKSyncEngine. No Core Data lock-in either. This package doesn’t discriminate either: Core Data, SwiftData, FileManager, even UserDefaults 😄

It takes care of all the CloudKit headaches:
✅ Queuing + retries
✅Zones, records, permissions
✅Works across all Apple platforms
✅Fire-and-forget sync (seriously)

I’m actively working on:
- Ergonomic conflict handling
- More control for the things real-world apps actually need
- Swift 6 macros + property wrappers to make syncing models even easier

This is my first real open source package, and I’m launching a brand-new app using it as a real-world test. Plus integrating it into my existing apps: @thetaskapp & @karo_app

Link + sample app (“Bad Habits”) in the comments.

If this sounds useful, I’d love for you to check it out, share it, and maybe even ⭐️ it!

I want to speak to conservatives about what I saw in Ukraine.

What I saw in Ukraine was a nation of freedom loving Christians trying hard to fight for their existence against an invading power that wants to enslave them.

They want to be part of Europe and the West and they genuinely love and value freedom.

I really love these people. It’s such a beautiful country. You go to Kyiv and there’s no mental Hamas rallies, no crazy jihadists. You don’t risk being mugged in the street like in London.

There are beautiful Christian cathedrals with glinting golden domes everywhere. If Russia wasn’t bombing Kyiv every night it would be one of the safest and nicest cities in Europe.

These people truly believe in the same things we believe in. I’m a big believer in Western civilisation and truly believe this is frontier in the fight right now to defend the West from a China-Russia-Iran alliance that wants to crush us.

China’s biggest geopolitical dream is to cleave off America and Europe. If they can split the free world in half they will have a much clearer path in the Asia-Pacific which harms us deeply in Australia. We have to care about what happens in Ukraine because enemy regimes which threaten us care very deeply about what happens here.

This is utterly repulsive!

Trump and Vance just tried to humiliate Zelensky live on American TV, smugly demanding gratitude while openly mocking him like playground bullies counting favors. My respect for Zelensky—and my embarrassment as an American—just surged off the charts. I’m beyond disgusted!”

In Nova Kakhovka, the youngest of the detainees was 18 years old.
The Russians ripped off his toenails. I had to dress his wounds for a long time because after the torture, he received no medical help.

The Moscow puppet government in Georgia decided to attack pro-democracy protestors with water cannons, pepper spray, tear gas, and rubber bullets, the protestors responded with the equivalent of a fireworks mini gun. #georgiaprotests

[Vitalik @uicodesign]

@TrueSlazac They don’t need more territory. Putin’s power was under threat. They didn’t like the democratic processes happening in Ukraine, unlike in authoritarian russia. Also, they didn’t like that people in Ukraine had more wealth and freedom comparing to the average russian citizen.
