Hey! I’ll be in Napoli for a couple of days next week and couldn’t be more excited! What shouldn’t I miss while I’m there? Any local iOS devs or accessibility enthusiasts (or both!) up for meeting? Preferably over a caffè, a cuzzetiello, some pizza fritta, a sfogliatella...! 😋

This isn’t the typical implementation of Reduce Motion, but I think I like it! Normally, when scrubbing the slider to jump around an audio document, the transcript view scrolls in real time, which can feel useful, but also a bit overwhelming with so much movement on screen.

With Reduce Motion enabled, you still see where you’ll land on the slider, but the transcript doesn’t scroll until you release it. There's less going on the screen, while still getting the same information and functionality. testflight.apple.com/join/sjk3n7y6 #BuildInPublic #iOSDev

Next month, I’ll be returning to SwiftLeeds again, but this time as the host of the Evening Talkshow! When Adam Rush 🪐 asked me to be the host, it came with a big ask: Find the right participants. I wanted to let you all know why I picked these guests in a short message.

All I want for Christmas is... for macOS to remember my spaces configuration after restart.

The PocketShelf has the best icon for Twitter. Yes, it’s still either ‘Twitter’ or ‘X, formerly known as Twitter’.

Along with the big redesign, Hidde van der Ploeg and I have used the iOS 26 release to make NowPlaying more accessible! 🗣️ Just wanted to share a before/after of how a tiny change (few lines of code) in our album's tracks view can dramatically improve the VoiceOver experience.
