What format should be used for tags on Mastodon? I've seen some that are all lowercase like #swiftlang and some use capitalization like #SwiftLang. Or does Mastodon normalize the text so the format doesn't matter?

@talkpython@fosstodon.org and @mkennedy@fosstodon.org There was an upcoming talk on YouTube about Astral joining OpenAI but I don't see it anymore. What happened? Did the talk get canceled?

@steve@discuss.systems @mattiem@mastodon.social Copy and paste from Xcode into Keynote keeps the syntax highlighting. But this requires two apps (Xcode and Keynote) to create a presentation. Seems like Keynote should have this ability instead of relying on other apps.

@mattiem@mastodon.social Yeah I don't want to manually highlight code. I wish Keynote had features like reveal.js that supports syntax highlighting for code. https://revealjs.com/code/

What do people use on the Mac for syntax highlighting code snippets in Keynote slides?

I need to create a list of locations in a macOS app based on a partial string. For example, the user enters "salem" and the app returns a list of suggested cities that are named Salem. What are my options for getting a list of suggested locations based on a partial string? Is MKLocalSearchCompleter the best solution here or is there something newer I can use?

@simon@fedi.simonwillison.net For your web app tools, like the Big Words tool, how do you define the CSS design in your prompt for the overall look/theme of the web page?

@JTostitos@techhub.social It looks like Textual renders markdown in a SwiftUI view. But what I'm looking for is syntax highlighting of the raw markdown in an editor like view. I don't think Textual does this but please correct me if I'm wrong.

I would like to write some Markdown text in a SwiftUI view in a Mac app. I need to support math expressions with $...$ and $$...$$ along with inline code and code blocks. How can I do syntax highlighting of the Markdown content? Any Swift packages that provide this feature?
