My favorite Liquid Glass view. I keep it open all day!

• Distraction free "All Drafts" floating mid split!
• Perfect alignment of toolbar divider and split!
• Tricky compose button becomes less visible on mouse over!
• Cool fisheye effect where text blur/fade first makes text more noticeable at edge of fade.

That wasn't a performance regression Jesse! You just forgot that you turned on power saving mode last week!

I recommend all macOS developers check out @marioguzman@mastodon.social's Layout Guidelines. I just came across them myself, really useful.

Generally I just eyeball these sorts of layouts and try to make them "feel" right, much nicer to have some actual rules and why's and how's.

For Swift developers.

Here's the approach I take to implement Bike Outliners query language. Along with some example code:

Latest Bike 2.0 Preview release includes `bike` command line tool + `bike mcp` server, making Bike outlines easily (locally) accessible to AI agents. Testers + Feedback needed.

I think a particularly useful/interest feature of CLI is you can observer an outline query and get a stream of results as you edit the outline.
