All the cool things I’ve been writing about Slate today are on the way!

My public GitHub Gist โiOS Icon Sizesโ has now been updated for iOS 12!

Formatting Improvement in Slate
#A massive improvement has just been made to Slate! Iโve found a new way to convert the html content of a post into a format the app can read.
Itโs so much faster, actually supports things like bold and italics, lists appear how youโd expect them to, and also doesnโt mess around with extra line breaks!
The speed increase is what about shocked me though, because the old method took about the same time it took to request the actual data from the Micro blog api. It was only ever a temporary solution, but this works near instantly.
Just a quick video showing the current state of Slate:
I’ve just added replying to posts!
(Next build should be sent out tonight)

I finally watched Avengers: Infinity War this morning. It was an incredible film nearly all the time, but the ending was a pure disappointment for me.

Swift Tip: Hiding Extra Separators on a UITableView blog.chrishannah.me/hiding-ex…
My New Swift Tips Blog
#Regarding my ramblings yesterday about starting a new blog for swift development tips, I’ve decided I will host it on my main blog.
However, it is a separate category, that is excluded from the main feeds. There’s still a link in the navigation bar though.
The first post is super simple, and the actual tip is 1 line of code. It’s how to hide extra separators on a UITableView.
I may try and work out a schedule for regular posts, but it may just be slightly sporadic. It’s not going to be full of big tutorials though, I’d rather just share small tips for now.
I want to start writing more Swift tutorials/tips/things, so don’t be surprised if I create a new blog soon!
I just need to figure out the best place for it.

Microsoft Will Acquire Coding Site GitHub โ
#The software maker has agreed to acquire GitHub, the code-repository company popular with many software developers, and could announce the deal as soon as Monday, according to people familiar with the matter.
I don’t like the sound of this.
I am 100% certain I will be installing the iOS 12 betas to all of my devices immediately after launch.
Without any hesitation.
There was some editorial artwork for Xcode leaked by Guilherme Rambo, so of course Matt Birchler created high-quality wallpaper versions.
In preparation for possible improvements to notifications in iOS 12, I’ve turned on notifications for all of the apps on my phone. That includes, banners, sounds, icon count, etc. I expect I’ll be deleting a few apps soon.
After playing (and completing) the demo of Factorio last night, I ended up purchasing the full game. I can truly see how addicting the game is, because I was on it for at least 3 hours straight, and it felt like 10 minutes.
My Wishes for WWDC
#- A working Xcode that doesnโt have SourceKit crashing every 15 minutes.
- Always on Apple Watch face.
- Declarative UI framework.
- Dark mode for iOS.
- Better Notification Center.
- Maybe some UI changes so that iOS isnโt exactly the same as always.
- Widgets on the home screen.
