@ctietze TableFlip Looks like a fun app that solves a real problem (learned about it with your conversation with @tantramar just now). Question from testing - my table headings look centered, but the Markdown on export is not. And the option to center text is greyed out when on the column headings. Expected behavior?

@podfeet I'm not at my desk a.t.m., can you share a picture so I can look on Monday?

@denis wow there's a lot going on!

The job situation sounds awful. What a shitshow to put people (you) into a situation where they have to resolve a contradiction put up by HR/management/... over a scarce resource!

Wish I were rich by now to pay for a project or two that would need to be made, but alas, no riches to be had :(

@SebastianLeist Was ist die Lizenz deiner Bilder?

Ich programmiere in der Programmiersprache "Swift" und schreibe auf meinem Blog darüber. Wenn das eine Creative Commons Lizenz ist, würde ich die gern weiter teilen

A thing I like about trail running is the camaraderie with bikers. I just met a biker going downhill, so I jumped out of the track. Even though he was in a challenging spot, he managed to say "thank you" (which in Norwegian is four words, so it takes longer).

Wish everyone a happy weekend on or off roads!

@mergesort what do you mean, 'reasons'?

(The experience sucks, but still sounds exciting with wedding and all 👍)

I love working in Markdown when writing HTML. When appropriate, I love using tables (for tabular data). On macOS, I love using TableFlip. #IndieMacApps https://tableflipapp.com

@tantramar Thank you for the shout-out!

What is your typical workflow, and where does TableFlip kick in the most?

@simonbs I'm looking to learn how other text editor devs deal with transformations like wrapping the selection in something complicated.

I couldn't find anything like that in the Runestone source. Did I look in the wrong place? 🤔

For context, I'm extracting a declarative API at the moment to express text transformations like "make each selected line a Markdown list item" or "wrap selection in code block":

https://github.com/CleanCocoa/DeclarativeTextKit

Could you need something like that at all?

This voxel displacement technique for "modern retro" rendering looks so incredible, really inspiring:

@daviwil Cool! That is such a great combination of technologies

@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

Does "flexibleSpace" in for macOS not work correctly?

Anything besides a Spacer() that's required in the item?

@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

@jsq Geez dang :(

ctietze,
@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

@lvalenta @jsq That, they designed cleverly. We all Stockholm-Syndrom-ify ourselves into guilt. Can't be the framework is missing something,right? :)

ctietze,
@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

@Cykelero @stroughtonsmith So that's the culprit!

Ugh, of course we only get .inline and .inlineLarge, probably equivalent to .unified and .unifiedCompact, and need to resort to AppKit fiddling.

Starting with Windows in AppKit are still the best approach anyway. SwiftUI as the main app's driver is usually a disappointment.

@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

For the record:

This took a whole day to think through, experiment with, and get to work.

  1. Undo grouping. The outermost block makes this whole thing 1 transaction.

  2. Enable Modifying(range) as a generic block-based wrapper around any potentially undoable commands in the first place,

  3. including other Modifying blocks, which was a bit of a challenge,

  4. while at the "leaves" still only allow either multiple Inserts or Deletes but not both at the same time.

Oof!

ctietze,
@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

I'm relying a lot on _disfavoredOverload annotations to help the compiler figure out which of two similar-looking blocks to use without having to specify this at the call site.

It's a game-changer for this kind of API.

@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

@rafa Like NSToolbarItem's 'flexible space', or to make an actual view full width?

ctietze,
@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

@rafa The former should work like this:

ToolbarItem { Spacer() }

🤔

ctietze,
@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

@rafa I take this back, the spacer doesn't even work. Ugh.

ctietze,
@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

@rafa we can't even have non-compact toolbars in SwiftUI, so my answer would be:

You need to do the toolbar in AppKit.
