If you're using a . onTapGesture to make something act like a Button, you will eventually hear from someone who uses VoiceOver.

And you will regret that decision as you do a lot of View refactoring. Like me, right now.

VoiceOver has nothing to read with gestures. And when you use that tap gesture for a primary input mechanism, like a close button, there's no way for that person to use it.

Don't use single tap gestures: it's a foot gun that is _very_ not obvious.

@collectifission
I guess Leo XIV is an OK name, but seeing how he’s from Chicago, passing on Al Capope feels like a missed opportunity.

Given how Nova's ongoing development seems…shaky to me, I'm considering spending the effort to really dig into Neovim or Emacs, or figure out the weirdnesses BBEdit has with PHP. (I think it may just have a wildly over-populated keyword list.)

New blog post: Mirrored Gardens https://notes.neatnik.net/2025/05/mirrored-gardens

Mirrored gardens are everywhere. They’re not bad! But they’re definitely bland. I’m so grateful that we have something different here, and I wouldn’t want anything else. :prami_contented:

Reminder that wellness grifters like Trump’s new Surgeon General Casey Means spread misinformation about vaccines and health because it is extremely profitable for them to do so.

I am glad they announced the new pope but I think this ancient ritual of making us find the pope in the pizza is too obscure for modern tastes

Lots of folks fell for the "DOM is slow" marketing of certain frameworks, but DOM isn't slow. *Uncontrolled style read-back* is. But what if that wasn't a thing?
