New look alert!
The official swift.org website just got a full redesign and it looks fantastic.
Clean, fast, and full of great Swift resources. Worth checking out.
It took six months to find 20 testers, so clearly my app is pure gold.

Vibe Coding for Emotional Resonance (AI-Assisted App Development) 2of2:
The resulting website was generated in under 10 minutes, with both desktop and mobile previews. This demonstrates the potential for rapid prototyping and mock-up creation. You can check it out here: https://pastel-hearts-lifting.lovable.app/
Key Takeaways
1. AI as a Prototyping Accelerator: AI tools can significantly expedite the initial stages of app development, enabling rapid iteration and visualization.
2. Vibe Coding as a Design Principle: Communicating the desired emotional tone to AI can influence the design output, highlighting the importance of emotional intelligence in AI-driven development.
3. Accessibility as a Core Consideration: Even with AI assistance, human oversight is essential to ensure accessibility standards are met.
While this is a work in progress, this experiment underscores the potential of AI to augment the design process.
What do you think of the evolving role of AI in UX/UI design?
You want a crazy idea? Add an "__outScope" built-in method for classes.
It will run when the scope of the variable that holds the class instance ends.
Imagine the possibilities.

Everything-apps won't work.
I hate the trend of startups that are trying to do everything, because it's not possible. It will fail.
Why concentrate on everything and do a shitty job when you can do one thing and make it perfect? "One app for everything" is a doomed idea.
One of our favorite parts of the work we do at the Iconfactory is to design emoji. Founder @gedeonm was recently interviewed about the design process behind the emoji you probably use and love every single day. https://panorama.ro/how-emojis-conquered-online-communication-designers/
If you need emoji or iconography for your project or business, be sure to check us out, we'd love to work together.

Hey Fediverse, I'm still using the same old tools to construct app wireframes for clients, are there any new fangled things I'm missing out on?
Today's experiment, part 2: Now with support for multiplexing #Reveal.js presentations between a controller and multiple clients.
