@christianselig@mastodon.social There is plenty of room on the screen to make that more than 2 lines, but I think we've all made that mistake before.

@imdavidpierce@threads.net Hi David. Here is a post I made recently about an app I made for myself to scratch a particular itch I had that I don't think many other people have. So it's just for me. @gregggreg@sfba.social

My first @DeepDishSwift@iosdev.space was such a great experience. I am again reminded how friendly and interesting iOS/Apple/Swift folks are. I had so many great conversations with new and old friends in such a short time.

Thanks so much to @joshdholtz@mastodon.social and Kari for organizing it!

@johnvoorhees Generating the audio on Mac is one way to solve it. I think you can use background tasks in iOS 26 to allow GPU in the background, but that only works on iPads with M3 or better processors. 🙄 I also got it to work with CPU-only, which is slower, but still faster than realtime. But it heats up the device very quickly and chews through battery, so is probably not releasable.

@johnvoorhees I have a similar app in development I may or may not ever release. It is more geared towards importing documents (text, PDF, EPUB, etc) but can also import web page content given URLs. If you start playing the audio as soon as the first chunk is done, the slowness isn't too bad. But if you are generating a "podcast" file, I can see speed being an issue. The biggest issue is that on iOS if you background the app and it's using GPU it gets killed immediately.

@johnvoorhees On-device generated TTS? Sounds like Kokoro.

@mergesort@macaw.social I think you might have it backward. It is socially rude there to eat food and drink while you are walking around, so people don't do it, so there is no need for garbage cans and no litter.

You can't just snap your fingers to change cultural norms, though.

@stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social @viticci@mastodon.macstories.net Pretty soon MacStories will just be a blog of apps that he and John and the rest made this week. I guess it kind of already is. 🤔

I put ChatGPT into 'Cynical & Sarcastic' mode and tried it out for a while. I don't think I like it. It's too much like looking into a mirror.
