A recent injunction issued by a district court suspended enforcement of Texas state law SB2420, which introduced age assurance requirements for app marketplaces and developers.

In light of this ruling, Apple will pause previously announced implementation plans and monitor the ongoing legal process.

The tools we previously announced to help developers meet their compliance obligations will remain available for sandbox testing, including:These tools can also be used to help developers with their obligations under laws coming into effect in Utah and Louisiana in 2026.

The Declared Age Range API remains available worldwide for users on iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26, or later.

To comply with the Mobile Software Competition Act (MSCA), Apple is introducing changes to iOS that create new options for developers' apps in Japan.

Beginning with iOS 26.2, developers can distribute apps on alternative app marketplaces, operate alternative app marketplaces, process app payments for digital goods and services outside of Apple In-App Purchase in iOS, and more.

Those protections include Notarization for iOS apps, an authorization process for app marketplaces, and requirements that help protect children from inappropriate content and scams.

Age categories for users with new Apple Accounts in Texas as of January 1, 2026, will be shared with a developer’s app when they request it.

Texas state law considers a change in the age rating of an app to be a significant change, and developers should keep their age rating selections current in App Store Connect.

When a developer updates their app’s age rating, the rating is updated on all user devices once the version is live.

App consent revocationA parent or guardian in Texas can withdraw consent for any app, which will block launching of the app on the child or teen’s device.

Ios dev at mobile app startup, our day 7 retention was terrible at 18% meaning 82% of users who installed never came back after first week, basically burning money on user acquisition. Spent month researching and implementing retention strategies from successful consumer apps. Used Mobbin to study onboarding and engagement patterns from apps with known high retention like Duolingo notion instagram, documented specific tactics they use to bring users back and also analyzed our own data to understand where users were dropping off. Simplified onboarding to get users to value moment in under 60 seconds, old flow was 5 screens of explanation before they could do anything and new flow lets them s…

Hi there. I wonder if is there any way for Codex (or Claude for any means) to compile the app directly from the terminal so it can fix the errors. It always complains about sandboxing which makes sense, but I guess there must be a way to make it possible since these two AI's are so popular. I mean, I used to work with Alex SideBar and it nailed the build and fix flow. submitted by /u/RmvZ3 [link] [comments]

Hey r/iOSProgramming, I work at Gadget.dev, and while our platform has largely been adopted by web developers, we've recently seen a surge of mobile devs using it to spin up backends for their Swift apps. We put together a guide on how to use Gadget as an auto-scaling backend and database for iOS projects. The core idea is to let the platform handle the heavy lifting (infrastructure, database management, and API generation) so you can focus entirely on the Swift code. Here’s the high-level workflow we cover: Spin up the DB & API: We show how to create a hosted Postgres database and auto-generate a GraphQL API in minutes, rather than configuring servers or managing schema migrations manually…

Hey folks, I’m looking for some honest feedback on App Store conversion. https://preview.redd.it/txo3ssaruxbg1.png?width=1298&format=png&auto=webp&s=72c73e702716e28413a860145c16c51f8064ff76 Current stats (screenshot attached): ~2,100 impressions 157 product page sessions 80 installs $22 proceeds 0 crashes That puts page view → install conversion at ~50%, but impression → install feels low.

Tl;dr: is anyone surprised that SwiftUI matured into a de-facto choice from Apple? I mean no snark - but I am thinking a lot about some of the snark from some online blowhards towards the framework. The company I worked at before was very (very) hesitant to use SwiftUI for legit reasons. We didn’t want a framework from Apple to cause bugs in the app we were responsible for maintaining with users - at the time. I switched companies and leaned into SwiftUI hard. iOS 17 has felt like a sort of “Rubicon” of safety for using it, and iOS 18 made it better with lots of ScrollView proxy sugar and other things. However you feel about Liquid Glass, using SwiftUI on iOS 26 has been a similarly safe ex…

I’m just a regular iOS dev. I’ve been building apps for a while, mostly UIKit, nothing flashy. A few months ago, someone on Reddit suggested that I “start moving to SwiftUI.” The reason wasn’t technical. It was basically: Apple says it’s ready Blog posts say it’s faster UIKit is “old” I tried to push back a bit but he was insistent (we were chatting a lot). So I rewrote a core screen in SwiftUI. And honestly? At first it felt great. Previews looked amazing Code was shorter Everyone felt validated Then we shipped it. The problems only showed up once it was fully integrated: Navigation edge cases when embedded in UIKit State sync issues between SwiftUI and existing models Performance quirks o…

After years of Apple development and finally reaching a stable, good-enough income as an indie, this is the biggest thing I’ve learned: Only complex, out of the ordinary apps make real money, and they have to be excellent. Simple apps turn into a race to the bottom. If something is easy to build, it’s easy to copy. The apps that worked for me were the ones that took longer, were harder to get right, and looked boring from the outside, but were invaluable to the people who needed them. The App Store doesn’t reward shortcuts. It rewards depth, polish, and persistence. Curious if others felt the same. submitted by /u/29satnam [link] [comments]

I’m genuinely puzzled by something I’d love input on especially from anyone from Germany. Germany is my #2 market in terms of downloads in the past 90 days (62 downloads - +50%), yet i have gotten ZERO sales from there in the same time frame in fact the last time i had a purchase from Germany was back in September which is baffling because it used to be #1 market (see screenshot #2). For context France my current #1 market (97 downloads) generated 10 sales in the past 90 days! Is it the paywall, the pricing or something else i am not seeing? submitted by /u/Nabeeh89 [link] [comments]

Senior iOS dev (13 years). I naturally reached for Swift and SwiftUI to solve my nutrition problem. The app is fast, private (on-device data), and uses on-device math to check AI results. I realized too late that building an MVP or prototype needs to be easily accessible and needs fast feedback loops. iOS is powerful, I love it even today, but experiments can cost a lot of time and energy. One reason might be the small space available for the UI, which forces you to think about UX from day 1. I ignored the Web because I was comfortable in Xcode. Now I have a friend who helps me with guidance. It is a wild west world out there and guidance is a must for me. I'm now learning React/Next.js/Vit…

There will be a surge of non-technical individuals creating AI slop for the App Store. This is likely unsustainable for Apple to manage. My prediction is they will either increase the Developer fee to $500 per year or create a separate platform where the vibe-coded slop can exist with their own monetization model. What do you think? submitted by /u/Rare_Prior_ [link] [comments]

This solution works 100% If you've ever tried uploading an App Preview video to App Store Connect and got stuck with the classic: "Unable to upload preview. Please try again later." no error details, no logs, no explanation — this one's for you. There are few solutions to use fimpeg to export video with specific format and audio but none of them worked until I found this easy hack. And it more effective than posting the format required by Apple. Apple is adamant in needing app preview in specific format example you can use custom title graphics templates but this solution I explained works great. Because Apple needs you to use iMovie to export app previews but the templates in iMovie is ver…

Issue 737 19th December 2025 Written by Dave VerwerI’m back from my vacation, which was exactly what I needed, and I now find myself writing the last issue of 2025!

😱To mark the end of the year, Apple announced this year’s App Store Award winners!

You can see the full list of awards and winners on the developer site, although I actually prefer their press release writeup as it includes screenshots of the apps.

I especially liked the Be My Eyes app, which restored some of my faith in humanity.

Follow along and have some Swifty fun with that Pi that is still sitting in its box on your shelf.

It takes the idea of using LLMs inside an app one step further than having the model return text or structured data.

I’d recommend watching this 30-second slice of the video for a better explanation than I can manage in a few words.

It includes a built-in set of widgets for common UI, and you can add your own too.

It has been possible to get Swift apps running on really tiny devices for a while now (as mentioned in Issue 655, Issue 673, and Issue 691), although getting it going was not trivial.

😬VideosI wrote about ServerSide.swift 2025 back in Issue 729, but if you missed the conference, you can at least now catch up with the session videos!

Issue 735 14th November 2025 Written by Dave VerwerIt’s been a few years since the closure of the Swift Weekly Brief newsletter.

It regularly covered detailed information on Swift Evolution proposals, topics from the Swift Forums, and other Swift community news.

I cover Swift news, of course, but I mainly stick to the larger announcements rather than covering anything still going through the Swift Evolution process.

I especially like his point that parameterising your tests has the potential to introduce logic into your test code that mirrors the code you’re testing.

Issue 734 7th November 2025 Written by Dave VerwerI did not have Apple launching a web-based version of the App Store on my bingo card for this week, but here we are.

It’s a full, multi-region implementation of the App Store, with the “Today” view (including featured lists and events) and Apple Arcade.

Should you rely on linking directly to an App Store listing, assuming that everyone who clicks on it will have a device that will launch the store and show your product page?

You also get the chance to let people opt in to receiving email, either as customers or as potential customers before they make an App Store download.

It’s a nice step forward for the App Store!

🎃The first time I ever wrote about Swift running on Android was back in Issue 220 when I linked to Romain Goyet’s post.

NewsApple may have already announced this:Offer codes build on the functionality of promo codes and provide improved configuration and customer eligibility options.

As a result, starting March 26, 2026, you’ll no longer be able to create promo codes for In-App Purchases in App Store Connect.

Any existing promo codes for In-App Purchases you’ve created can be redeemed until they expire.

You can continue to use promo codes in order to provide people with a free download of your app.

Issue 732 24th October 2025 Written by Dave VerwerI should have waited a week to talk about Liquid Glass!

If you’d like to take a look at the new setting to switch Liquid Glass between “Clear” and “Tinted”, Dan Barbera has a short, to-the-point video that demonstrates it.

– Dave VerwerSentry automatically captures crashes recorded on macOS, iOS, and tvOS to make sure you’re shipping the best experience to your users.

👍DesignTalking of Liquid Glass, Rafael Conde posted some fascinating details about the process of adapting Sketch to macOS Tahoe.

Does that mean adopting Liquid Glass?

Issue 731 17th October 2025 Written by Dave VerwerThere has been plenty of criticism of Liquid Glass, both during the beta and since its official release.

There’s no question that Liquid Glass is a step back for legibility.

It’s also not just about legibility and Liquid Glass.

Michael Tsai, as always, has put together a great round-up of Liquid Glass comments from social media.

Maybe the most interesting thing about Liquid Glass is the conversations and critique that it has sparked.

Issue 730 10th October 2025 Written by Dave VerwerApple announced a trio of new packages at last week’s ServerSide.swift conference.

First up, and worthy of a blog post on Swift.org, is swift-profile-recorder, a new sampling profiler for server-side Swift apps.

Next, swift-configuration is also primarily intended for server-side apps, but it fills an important gap for defining and accessing configuration data for command-line tools.

👍It’s great to see Apple announce more packages to expand what’s possible with server-side Swift.

Oh, and I promise not to talk about server-side Swift again next week.

Issue 729 3rd October 2025 Written by Dave VerwerI was a regular conference speaker and attendee before the pandemic, but I haven’t got back into the habit since events restarted.

This week’s ServerSide.swift conference in London reminded me how much I miss in-person events.

So I thought I’d share how this conference made me feel, in case you have also struggled either to get back into in-person events or to get started with them!

If, like me, you’d like to jump back into an in-person conference, CocoaConferences has an up-to-date list of events.

I also expect to see Swift Heroes, Swift Craft, NSSpain, and Swift Island announce follow-up events, as they all ran successful events this year.

Issue 728 26th September 2025 Written by Dave VerwerIf you haven’t checked in on Swift on the server for a while, now is a great time to give it another look.

I’m so happy to say that there’s not a single EventLoopFuture in sight if you just want to build an app!

This is open source working as intended, including a fantastic effort from the Swift Server Workgroup to incubate and recommend packages.

CodeIt’s always great to see someone as experienced with app development as Max Seelemann, co-creator of Ulysses, start blogging for the first time.

In his first post, he tackles the important topic of speeding up image loading on both iOS and macOS.

He started the project in 2023 with Layout Guidelines and followed it up in late 2024 with Toolbar Guidelines.

❤️Apple’s current HIG is great, but it’s far more high-level than the old guidelines used to be.

What I’d love to see Apple tackle is a guide to SwiftUI-based design with this level of detail.

Either way, don’t miss Mario’s Layout Guidelines and Toolbar Guidelines.

QA Wolf delivers 80% automated test coverage in weeks, with tests running on real iOS devices—all in 100% parallel with zero flakes.

Issue 726 12th September 2025 Written by Dave VerwerNew devices, and vapour-cooled ones at that!

😬 App Store submissions for release day are open, so get those final builds tested and shipped.

It didn’t make the keynote, but Apple also quietly announced a brand-new feature, Memory Integrity Enforcement, debuting on the latest devices.

It’s not as flashy as the features announced in the keynote, but this will make Apple devices safer to use, which is wonderful.

Matt is always worth listening to when it comes to Swift concurrency, so don’t skip this.

Issue 725 5th September 2025 Written by Dave VerwerAre you ready for Apple to tempt you with new purchases on Tuesday?

Liquid Glass has meant that we’ve all had to reconsider our app designs.

QA Wolf builds and maintains E2E tests that cover 80%+ of your iOS app in just weeks.

👍DesignEven if David Smith’s latest post didn’t focus on Liquid Glass, it’d still be worth watching the embedded video.

As with Liquid Glass, it’s not yet clear how concentricity will settle in over the next year.

The assistant now defaults to GPT-5 and, more significantly, adds support for using a Claude Pro or Max account.

Read the release notes for the full list of changes, but it’s the assistant I want to talk about today.

When I was using GPT-5, it told me that I needed to start a new conversation several times after just a few messages.

I also got several timeout errors when using GPT-5.

Both models are extremely capable at making code changes in Swift, and it’s possible GPT-5 was just having some server load issues.

With that thought in mind, this week Craig Hockenberry wrote a great post titled “Liquid Glass.

I installed the betas on my primary iOS devices a few weeks ago and while I don’t hate Liquid Glass, I’m struggling to love it.

It’s fun to look at, but there’s no question in my mind that it’s a step backwards for readability.

Is Liquid Glass the latest example of Apple carefully not saying something about this year’s devices?

CodeAfter talking so much about Liquid Glass this week, it seems fitting to highlight two of Victor Baro’s recent articles.

Logitech users on macOS found themselves locked out of their mouse customizations yesterday after the company let a security certificate expire, breaking both its Logi Options+ and G HUB configuration apps.

When Logitech allowed its certificate to lapse, the company's apps lost verified authenticity.

Logitech has since released a patch for macOS 26 Tahoe, macOS 15 Sequoia, macOS 14 Sonoma, and macOS 13 Ventura that resolves the issue.

However, users need to download and install it themselves, since the certificate expiry also prevented the apps' built-in updaters from working.

Older macOS versions will get a fix "at a later time," said Logitech in a support page acknowledging the issue.

Apple is exploring multispectral imaging technology for future iPhone cameras that could improve Visual Intelligence, enhance material detection, and boost image processing, according to a new supply chain rumor out of China.

Multispectral imaging differs from traditional smartphone photography, which relies solely on standard red, green, and blue light.

If adopted in future iPhones, one potential advantage could be improved material and surface differentiation.

In addition, multispectral data could also improve image processing overall, especially when shooting in mixed lighting environments.

This might be why Apple is reportedly still evaluating the technology, rather than actively testin…

Apple's adoption of a 200-megapixel camera for a future iPhone is still some ways off, according to a prominent supply chain leaker who says such a sensor is not currently part of Apple's active prototype testing.

In a post on Weibo, Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station said that 200-megapixel camera sensors are being discussed in the supply chain, but they have not appeared in iPhone engineering prototypes undergoing real-world imaging tests.

With a 200-megapixel camera, an iPhone would be able to shoot photos with greater detail.

At CES 2026, Google announced some new Gemini features that it's bringing to Google TVs.

Gemini on Google TV will be able to answer queries with a "visually rich framework" that offers up imagery, videos, and real-time sports updates.

According to Google, the Gemini features will be coming to TCL devices first, and other Google TV devices over the coming months.

Apple is planning to use a version of Google Gemini for some of its upcoming AI features, including the smarter version of Siri.

With Apple adopting Gemini and Apple TVs soon becoming capable of new AI features, it's possible that some of the features that Google has announced for Google TV could be replicated on the ‌Apple TV‌.

Like all good engineering solutions, building a design system should aim to solve an actual problem that we’re facing within a given project.

In the case of Genius Scan, since our initial focus was on lists, we started by creating a basic Row component, which would simply combine a leading and trailing element into a horizontal row:public struct Row: View { public var leading: Leading public var trailing: Trailing public init ( @ViewBuilder leading: () -> Leading , @ViewBuilder trailing: () -> Trailing = EmptyView .

leading = leading () self .

Configuration () ... } extension EnvironmentValues { @Entry var configuration = Configuration () }Note how we also define an @Entry for our configu…

Let’s say that we’ve declared a User struct within a project, which currently only contains constant let properties:struct User: Identifiable , Codable { let id: UUID let name: String let bio: String let imageURL: URL ? }

That could be done like this:struct User: Identifiable , Codable { let id: UUID let name: String let bio: String let imageURL: URL ?

init (id: UUID = UUID () , name: String , bio: String , imageURL: URL ?

id = id self .

Such an API could take the form of a UserTransformer protocol, which uses Swift’s inout parameter feature to enable each transformer to directly mutate the User value that was passed to it, without first having to make a mutable copy:protocol UserTran…

However, sometimes we might be working with a type that requires some additional data that’s not present in the JSON (or whichever data format we’re decoding from) in order to be initialized.

ID ) async throws -> User { let favoritesURL = favoritesURLForUser (withID: id) let userURL = urlForUser (withID: id) async let favorites = request (favoritesURL) as Favorites async let partialUser = request (userURL) as User .

membershipPoints , favorites: favorites ) } ... private func request( _ url: URL ) async throws -> T { let (data, _ ) = try await session.

userInfo [configurationUserInfoKey] wrapped = try Wrapped ( from: decoder, configuration: configuration as !

func decode( from data: Dat…

For example, let’s say that we’re building a custom Container view, which renders a header on top of a content view, while also applying some default styling to those two components:struct Container: View { var header: Header var content: Content var body: some View { VStack (spacing: 0 ) { header .

var body: some View { Container (header: { Text ( "Welcome" ) }, content: { if let user { HomeView (user: user) } else { LoginView (user: $user ) } }) } }Neat!

init , content: content) } }Note that we have to use a closure for our content property above, rather than just a Content value.

init , @ViewBuilder content: () -> Content ) { self .

header = header () self .

close () } return try connection.

alreadyLoading } isLoading = true defer { isLoading = false } let request = requestForLoadingItems (after: lastItem) let response = try await networking.

ID : Task <[ Item ], Error >]() ... func loadItems(after lastItem: Item ) async throws -> [ Item ] { if let existingTask = activeTasksForLastItemID[lastItem.

value } let task = Task { defer { activeTasksForLastItemID[lastItem.

id ] = task return try await task.

So, when working with such static URLs, it’s very common to simply use force unwrapping to turn the resulting optional URL into a non-optional one:let url = URL (string: "https://swiftbysundell.com" )!

With the above in place, we can now easily convert any static string within our code base into a URL , without having to deal with optionals at every single call site:let url = URL (staticString: "https://swiftbysundell.com" )Nice!

Let’s see if we can write a Swift macro that’ll let us not just convert, but also validate static URL strings at compile time.

} }Note how we prefix the URL type with its parent module ( Foundation ) above.

ID ) async throws -> User { guard let url = URL ( st…

I never actually decided to stop writing Swift articles.

But as time went on, I started to really miss Swift by Sundell.

The solution to that problem — meet the Swift by Sundell Archive.

I want to sincerely thank the fine folks at Genius Scan for helping me bring Swift by Sundell back, and to everyone in the Swift community who has reached out over the past few years with encouraging and supportive messages.

Welcome back to Swift by Sundell!

It's also great to see Swift Testing going from strength to strength, with three major improvements coming in Swift 6.2, including exit tests and attachments.

So, this kind of code is legal in Swift 6.2 and later:func `function name with spaces`() { print("Hello, world!")

As an example, we could create two classes like this:final class User: Sendable { let id = UUID() } final class Session: Sendable { weak let user: User?

{ self.user = user } }We could then make and use them like so:var user: User?

Note: Unlike the XCTest equivalent, Swift Testing's attachments do not support lifetime controls in Swift 6.2.

Sponsor Hacking with Swift and reach the world's largest Swift community!

In Swift 6.1 this has been resolved, but only when the new MemberImportVisibility upcoming feature flag is enabled.

Formalize ‘language mode’ terminologySE-0441 makes a small but important change to the way we describe Swift versions, clearly separating Swift version from Swift language mode.

Creating a test scope means conforming to two protocols: the core TestTrait protocol, and also the TestScoping protocol introduced in Swift 6.1.

Swift 6.2 will almost certainly arrive at WWDC25, and will include another batch of changes aimed at refining Swift concurrency amongst other improvements.

In this tutorial, you’ll modify an app to use Apple Foundation Models to summarize text.

Apple Foundation Model RequirementsTo use the on-device language model, the user needs to have hardware that supports Apple Intelligence.

Even if the Simulator is running an appropriate version of the OS, it will only work if the underlying macOS supports Apple Foundation Models.

When following along with this tutorial, also note that macOS 26 virtual machines often fail to support Apple Foundation Models.

Before using Apple Foundation Models, you must ensure the user’s device supports it and that the user has turned it on.

Build your own low-level game engine in Metal!

Metal is a unified application programming interface (API) for the graphics processing unit, or GPU.

Finally, Metal is a low-overhead API because it reduces the central processing unit (CPU) cost by multi-threading and pre-compiling of resources.

This book will introduce you to low-level graphics programming in Metal — Apple’s framework for programming on the graphics processing unit (GPU).

Because you’ll have built your 3D game engine from scratch, you’ll be able to customize every aspect of what you see on your screen.

If you’re on a such a file system and change the case of a filename, Git will not record the new name — unless you use git mv to perform the renaming.

git commit -m "Create A"[main (root-commit) 3d73aea] Create A 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) create mode 100644 A.txtNow we rename the file from A.txt to a.txt :# Rename the file (change case) # Note: not using `git mv` mv A.txt a.txt git statusnothing to commit, working tree cleanThat’s interesting.

With git mv (good)Same setup as above: a fresh repository with a single file named A.txt :mkdir testrepo2 cd testrepo2 git init echo "Hello" > A.txt git add .

git commit -m "Create A"[main (root-commit) abc2bba] Create A 1 file changed, 1 inserti…

git mv stages the rename but not the editsGit has the promisingly named git mv command, but since Git doesn’t track renames, git mv is mostly no different than doing the renaming in some other way and then staging the change (the deleted and newly created file).

echo "Usage: $0 " exit 1 fi old = " $2 " new = " $1 " # Situation: we renamed $old to $new.

`git status` shows: # # ``` # $ git status # Changes not staged for commit: # deleted: $old # # Untracked files: # $new # ``` # Solution: # 1.

Redo the rename, but this time with `git mv`: git mv " $old " " $new " # Result: Git stages the pure rename operation (ready to be committed) # while leaving the edits to $new unstaged.

I wrote this in response:Both Apple and Phil Schiller himself took a huge risk in doing this.

And humanizing the company and its decisions, especially to developers — remember, developer relations is all under Phil — might be worth the PR risk.

Every time I read articles about SF Symbols, I’m amazed by the animations, the customization, and how polished everything looks. I think: maybe next year I’ll finally sneak them into a real app…Spoiler: yeah… probably never. Most of these ideas live happily in pet projects and playgrounds.Maybe there are some lucky people in this chat actually using them in production? If so — envy! As the year ends, here’s my little wish for all of us: may next year finally give us a project brave enough to let us play with them for real! 😎https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/AnimatingSFSymbolsInSwiftUI/#SwiftUI #animations

Xcode 26 is out, so if you’re wondering whether to opt into Main Actor isolation in Swift 6.2, Donny Wals wrote a short piece that helps you weigh the pros and cons before flipping the switch.For UI packages, main actor isolation makes sense since almost everything should run on the main thread.For SPM packages like Networking, it’s less obvious — you might prefer to make types Sendable or design them as actors instead of forcing everything onto the main thread.When in doubt, isolating to the main actor is usually a safe default — and you can always mark code that needs concurrency with @concurrent later.donnywals.com/should-you-opt-in-to-swift-6-2s-main-actor-isolation#concurrency #swift

GPT-5 already got devs hyped — and now OpenAI just dropped GPT-5-Codex: a version of GPT-5 laser-focused on real engineering. If you’re still on Claude Code — this might be the perfect time to give it a try. At least until Claude ships an updated model and we all switch back again. 😅https://openai.com/index/introducing-upgrades-to-codex/#LLM

Apple docs are already frustrating and often not very helpful for developers, and on top of that, LLMs can barely make sense of them: try loading a page with an LLM and all it sees is a JavaScript error: “This page requires JavaScript. Please turn it on and refresh to view content.” The extra scripts and clutter make it nearly unreadable. 😦Thankfully, Mattt from NSHipster created this service — it strips out the junk and turns docs into clean, AI-friendly Markdown. Just swap the domain and your LLM finally gets it.Can’t help it… AI posts keep coming. 💥https://sosumi.ai#LLM
