Building iOS tools for developers who hate bloat.
Shy Guy is a one-person studio. Each app does one thing well — network diagnostics, Docker management, cloud compute, payment protocols. Terminal aesthetics. SwiftUI under the hood. No subscriptions, no dark patterns, no nonsense.
If you think mobile dev tooling should be as sharp as your CLI setup, this might be for you.

First look at SwiftUI Architecture paperback book.
I've started building my own tool to track SwiftUI documentation changes for Explore SwiftUI. It's still quite buggy and slow, but it will make my life much easier when creating new content and keeping existing content up to date.

Started thinking about how I'm _actually_ going to prevent abuse when any user can invite any email. Tomorrow night, let's start thinking about how we can protect stranger’s privacy by hashing invited emails. See you then!

I'm making a seasonal anime guide app, in the open for all to experience and learn from.
Trying out new streaming software _and_ had basically no sleep last night, so let's try making some progress… any progress really 😅

Probably one of my favorite background gradients in 40 Below. Dark mode + cold temps. #iosdev #swiftui #weather

Adding file logging (with rotating logs) and the ability to email those logs to support has been such a boon for when I run into weirdness in 40 Below out in the world.
It's also led to me sending a few sweary emails to myself. 😄
I realized that there's a VoiceOver issue with SwiftUI Text(timerInterval:).
If it's more than 1 hour away VO will say "hours", "minutes", and "seconds". For example, “3 hours, 2 minutes, 12 seconds”.
But if it’s less than 1 hour left it won’t say any of them! For example, “2 12”. That could easily be confused for a time instead of time remaining.

Words Inside is back! Currently for iPhone only as per the original 2013 version but the iPad version is almost read I just wanted to get a review. Back in 2013 cpus couldn’t generate the word lists on the fly so I had to curate word lists from a utility app also written in Objective-C. Now though I ported that app to Swift and all iOS devices can create the grids and word lists on the fly. Which means you can create your own Word Grids in this 2026 version 2.0 update. It’s very cool. Enjoy. #iOSDevices #AppUpdate #Swift #iosdev #swiftui

Natalia writes a wonderful book and is an extremely helpful person to follow on social media @nilcoalescing.com She’s a fountain of brilliant tips. Here is a talk with lots of useful advice for #SwiftUI developers. Especially recommended to all my students. https://youtu.be/Y_Ov-ddMb24?si=xphCNLV-4AibvIVX
Kiddo is stirring, so stopping early, but got the start of an email composed. Tomorrow night, let's flesh out the anti-abuse store so sent emails can be tracked responsibly. See you then!
