13的話

標題是來自這週 podcast，可以說是 1Password 8 early access 事件的感觸吧。1Password 以前給人的印象是優質的 Mac 原生 app，現在居然改用 Electron，引起很多長期使用者的不滿。我也是長期訂戶，本來想說就觀望看看。

只是他們後來刊出的第二篇 blog 完全沒有解決公關危機。落落長篇寫著自家軟體的歷史、有多愛原生。8.0 同時開發了 SwiftUI 與 Electron 版，但最後因為趕不上內部預定的時程所以忍痛放棄 SwiftUI 版。

我不禁在想，這次軟體更新是為了誰？是為了 PM、工程師的年度目標，還是要給投資人一個交代？絕大多數的使用者都不在意你的下一版什麼時候推出。

從使用者的角度，有時候我會覺得：生產力工具最好的改版就是不要改版。畢竟任何改版都會影響到已經上手使用者的生產力，往往是負面的。如果付錢讓開發者維護目前的功能、使用習慣，並且相容新的作業系統就好，我也願意。

那麼，身為開發者該怎麼辦呢？

Great News 😀 Starting from beta 5 you can set a custom action for `openURL` environment value in SwiftUI! This can also be used to customize actions of links inside Text views!

⁉️FAQ: Expanded Protections for Children

Apple 上週的兒童隱私保護機制引來了許多質疑。可能是表達不清楚，令許多人把「communication safety in Messages」與「CSAM detection in iCloud Photos」這兩個完全不相干的機制混淆。

這是一份六頁的問答文件。

⚔️Open App Markets Act

美國有參議員提法案要強制要求 App Store（包括 Google Play Store）更加開放。全文只有 10 頁、行距很粗。

懶得看也可以看 RevenueCat 共同創辦人的簡單整理（我沒有全貼）：

Ok y'all. The politicians are making laws about apps and it's .... interesting. I just finished reading the Open App Markets Act and it hits a lot of stuff. Gonna try to summarize what it covers.

Here's where it gets really wild: 3 (d) (2) - Allow the installation of 3rd party of apps and app stores through means other than the App Store -- Side loading and alt App Store must be allowed.

3 (f) - 1st party apps can't use APIs not available to 3rd party apps -- This one really surprises me. Such a particular pet peeve. Tim Epic must have personally written this legislation.

Reviewing a pull request for changes to "the snackbar" and I'm thinking "what? are we Android now?" And the answer is "yes, we're Android now." I'm not saying the UI is bad. It's fine. It's just, I'm a Cocoa boy, and it should be named UITemporaryAnimatedLowerScreenAlertView. :D

Me: what do you think of this quick little design I made? Engineer: Nice. But what if the user is offline, has accessibility type on, is on landscape, is Russian but in Brazil, has a broken thumb, is holding a martini on the other hand while running from a pack of wolves?

SwiftUI 的排版特性是 content + padding 決定 size。而 .overlay 與 .background 則是該 size 為前提疊上或藏下任何東西。所以當有特殊尺寸需求時，我們非常常用一層 content 來決定 size、再用 .overlay 放真正要顯示的東西。 這兩個 modifier還有 alignment 參數，一定要善加利用。 #SwiftUIProTip

而且 .overlay 上還可以疊 .overlay，就像推文還可以引用推文 #SwiftUIProTip
