Swift Computed Property: Code Examples
While this is a basic in Swift, there are some nice additions since recently. For example, you can now use async and typed throws in the getter of a Swift computed property.

Swift Raw Identifiers
I’m not sure how I feel about this new feature in Swift 6.2, but you might find a use case that does not feel dirty.
Open Intent in iOS 26
I’ve also experienced this with intents: there are several ways of implementing support, but it’s not always clear what the best practice is. Jordan Morgan shares a great example of a common open app intent.
SwiftUI WebView
SwiftUI has had its own WebView element since WWDC 2025, and Troz decided to dive in on how it works.
Managing code deprecations on iOS
Updating to the latest 26 OS, potentially dropping an old OS—they all require you to think about deprecations when you’re offering a shared SDK. This article explains how you can best do this.
Corner concentricity in SwiftUI on iOS 26
Corner radius has become more important in iOS 26 and luckily, Apple provides us with some great new APIs. Natalia Panferova explains how they work.

What I'm working on
Finalizing macOS Tahoe and planning ahead
While it's always guessing the exact date of release, macOS and iOS will soon receive their final update for version 26. Being prepared means an opportunity to get featured by Apple, especially if you tick the boxes for recent features.
This year, that obviously means adopting the new design. RocketSim is pretty much ready for that, we're only beta testing the fundamental rewrite and improvements. (Join the beta here!)
Since the past months have been a huge focus on this major release, I haven't had the time to plan ahead. With a holiday planned, Q4 will approach soon. Planning has been the main driver of my success, especially when time was limited for side projects while having a full time job. I'd say it's crucial to ensure you focus on the right things.
For RocketSim, that means optimizing towards higher conversions. Our B2B part is growing way faster than expected, but also comes with challenges like support Single Sign-On (SSO). We have product market fit, but we need to optimize what we already offer. That means narrowing down a big list of tickets to just a realistic set of goals for Q4.
I'm using GitHub issues combined with a project board for this. No specific estimations, but a strict selection of tickets spread across both public and private repositories. (I explain this process in detail on going-indie.com). A productive quarter ahead, I wish you all the best for this week!
