The iOS app formerly-known-as Photo Club Waalre (and Photogroep Waalre) has been renamed to Photo Club Hub.

Since version 2.0 the…

As you can see on GitHub, a next update will improve the Maps on the Photo Clubs page. This is because Apple’s MapKit framework for SwiftUI has changed in iOS17, and some old…
Swift 6 aims to detect many concurrency issues at compile time. Fixing these new warnings and errors at compile time should prevent so-called “data-races” from showing up as intermittent run-time errors. This goal is important and even urgent because software developers are increasingly relying on concurrency to utilise multi-core processors and to perform slow tasks…

Git, Linus Torvald’s version control system, is pretty unescapable nowadays. I methodically installed Git in a basic Xcode Swift project, along with Git-Crypt. The latter allows you to encrypt certain of the files that you published using Git. Publishing source code while encrypting a file or two may sound like a strange combination. But it…
