While implementing the package previews, I ran across one state that Cork didn't have covered yet: when an app is already installed outside of Homebrew, and you try to install the Homebrew version.
Instead of getting stuck, you now get this status.
Today, I merged the basic support for Shortcuts into mainline Cork. After that, I decided to take on another challenge
I thought it would be cool to be able to see detailed info about a package before you install it. This feature actually used to be in Cork back in 2022! But I had to remove it… until now!
I have added a shortcut for refreshing packages. Next step, I'll see if I can add a separate button to Cork itself for only refreshing packages without updating them!
(also, does anyone know why Shortcuts is showing the key for each LocalizedStringResource instead of the actual string? 🤔 see pic #2 for code)
To recap what I got working today in Cork (but I'm not promising that it's gonna be in the next release!):
Added three Shortcuts: Get installed Formulae, Casks or all Packages
"Get installed Formulae" allows you go only limit it to only manually installed packages. For some reason, doing this in the "Get installed Packages" crashes it even though it's the same system
I want to get this working before the Memorial Weekend is over:
As soon as I choose a date in the date picker, the animal emoji and date range change, showing you the Chinese zodiac animal.
So if the DatePicker starts us off at today which is May 25 2024, and we pick say May 25, 2023, we should see a Rabbit emoji 🐰 with the date range Jan 22 2023 - Feb 09 2024.
I'm once again reminded why I stopped engaging with the GitHub community.
Me: "I propose idea A"
Maintainer: "Idea A is not acceptable. It will be B"
Me: "I accept it can't be idea A and idea B is closer to what we need, but I think alternative C or D would satisfy both our requirements. B is not a good idea. Could you at least consider it, or give me reasons why idea C or D are still not acceptable?"
Main.: "I'm the maintainer. It will be B. If you don't agree, don't contribute" (PR rejected)
Here is an update on what I'm working on. #buildinpublic
I'm exploring auto styling #OGC Vectortiles in #mapstyler. In this example, the population density is styled based on a user defined color. Very happy with these first results.
I'm just not sure about the map readability of this implementation. The coloring scheme is of course dependent on the distribution of the data. So I guess additional options for categorization of the data are needed.
Got inspired by @jordibruin at @DeepDishSwift 🤩 Trying to build an iOS app. With the kids at their grandparents tonight, I have the whole evening 🥰 Wanted to try live streaming, but YouTube needs 24 hours to verify… 😒 So I will be posting progress here 🚀 #buildinpublic
Without telling ChatGPT what code name I used for the project, it suggested the same 😅 I think I will stick with this name for now then… #buildinpublic
Okay… ChatGPT wasn’t that good at SwiftData 😬 It gave recursive models which SwiftData doesn’t support with structs. Had to adjust the models a bit - luckily ChatGPT was helpful in adjusting the unit tests 🥰 Now with 100 % code coverage we can continue to the UI #buildinpublic
Is there anyone out there who knows a lot about accessibility on macOS that would be open to joining Cork’s Testing team?
I wanted to improve the accessibility of Cork drastically in the next release (there’s no accessibility at all right now 😢), but I know nothing about this topic.
If you haven’t heard of Cork before, you can get a quick overview here: https://corkmac.app
It will be my birthday soon on June 1st, and to celebrate, I’ll be offering a super special discount on Cork! 🎉
Starting on June 1st until June 8th, Cork will be discounted 60 percent! Yes, SIXTY, the largest discount ever.
I’ll be sharing the discount code later, so be sure to keep an eye on my profile or @CorkApp (or even follow me if you want to, I’d really appreciate that!)
I'm looking for some volunteers to test a new Cork version. There's one huge bug that needed to be fixed before the next version is released. Are you up for it?
I'm specifically looking for people with a lot of installed Homebrew packages.
