Key art for Cloudburst. A big Earth-lookin' planet is floating in space, with a few pins poking at it showing temperature readings. There's a "Cloudburst" logo in the corner.

I’m sorry, it seems you’re still recovering from the office prank…

The dreaded "Preparing Editor Functionality" status in Xcode 26.

Fun.

Or my favorite of Music launching when I accidentally press the play/pause button and plays a completely random song 😅

OK, now that I think about this more, I'm equally just as annoyed by the fact that you're dragging... the icon? Versus the... tab?

I think my reply here was mis-interpreted. What I was trying to say was: what @cabel.panic.com was demonstrating is kinda dumb, even though I use SwiftUI 😅

I'm sorry if that wasn't obvious by my wording.

Guy that uses SwiftUI here. Nah, fam, you can send this one back, I have no justifications.

Nothing I love more than spending time on some #Blender tooling to make doing 3D stuff for the Playdate easier...

Screenshot of a word puzzle game. A word in the middle is broken up into syllabic chunks, and a circular player cursor is swapping them two-at-a-time.

My profile on GitHub

A screenshot showing 63 public repositories on my Git forge, SkyVault

Phew! I moved a lot of my Git repos over from GitHub to SkyVault, my Git forge, and I deleted older repos from GitHub that I'm not using anymore.

Feels good to do some spring cleaning!

My goals for 2026 With how disastrous 2025 turned out to be, it’s a tad difficult to think ahead for what I really want to do for 2026. Yet, there’s a small phrase that seems to really click for me as a theme right now...

2026 is here, and I've thought a little about what I want to accomplish.

2025 - A year in review This year was certainly... unexpected. While I anticipated a more rocky environment, I didn’t expect the current state of the world to fall into more sorts of chaos, no thanks to our current political...

With the end of 2025 near, I reflect on how this year went and whether I accomplished any of the goals I set out:

I haven't learned the Art

Thoughts on GitHub and having my own Git forge GitHub has been at the center of my software development journey for as long as I can recall. Yet, the GitHub that stands today is far different to the one I started with a long time ago. So, I decide...

I started hosting my own Git forge a few months back, and here's how that's been going: marquiskurt.net/git-forges/

Death by a thousand paper cuts: the state of document-based apps with SwiftUI It’s no secret that I enjoy creating document-based apps. They're not all sunshine and rainbows, however. The more I work on these sorts of apps, the more paper cuts and quirks I encounter that genuin...

Would help if I linked the game's Catalog page lolol: play.date/games/diora/

A fantastic puzzle game with a banger soundtrack. Check it out on Catalog (should be live at time of writing this quote)!

Been working on a new #Playdate project and have ventured into the waters of 3D! This is just the beginning, but it's working pretty well considering that I'm also writing it all in (embedded) #Swift.
