Wrote up a high level overview on what you would need to build an open source Foursquare clone on the AT Protocol today. Based on what i've learned experimenting with Anchor.

I’m experimenting with adding location data to Bluesky posts. Think Swarm/Foursquare check-ins but federated. This is a roundup on the current state of things.

Just released this fastlane plugin to translate your iOS apps. It uses the DeepL api to translate all the languages you have in your Localizable.xcstrings file. I use it to translate my own apps and feel like more iOS devs could use this to have a bigger reach for their apps.


Claude Opus 4 is releasing today it seems. Time story was published by accident and retracted again.


Top notch developer experience; it just works. But when i was building a semi large web app with it a few years back I got quite bored with the amount of cookie cutter code I needed to write. Perhaps the amount of rails type frameworks has progressed enough for that to have become a non issue though.


As a react native developer I can confirm SwiftUI is more fun. Mostly because of the relative simplicity. You just need Xcode or these days an iPad with Playgrounds on it and you can build stuff.


I’m intrigued with Funny. What makes these frameworks funny?


The documentation only has a screenshot of the brands supported. Would be nice to just be able to lookup my car brand and make support in the docs instead of having to make an Auth flow first...


Yeah... I went to their homepage and still had no idea what cars they supported, what features the car needed, etc.

From my understanding though they're just a wrapper API around the car manufactures existing apis?



Agreed. The homepage is confusing and doesn't give me some of the information I need.

The requirements/supported brands & models should be somewhere prominent on the front page, and I'm honestly still confused. Similar any country restrictions. This being limited to the US should not be hidden three levels deep in some FAQ.

The Otonomo isn't any better though, it doesn't even seem to have any links to the docs.


> From my understanding though they're just a wrapper API around the car manufactures existing apis?

Yep, think EasyPost for car functions


That's good feedback. We'll try to make things more clear!


Huh... Safari on iOS crashes on that page


Interesting, it doesn’t crash for me!
