My daughter doesn't let me sit in front of the computer for 5min -- but we can sit on the floor and she hums along and plays with dirt while I do woodworking for 30--60min easily.

If this is a common pattern, modern work and family is broken.

Last week, we released the Mac-assed Lettera text editor for TestFlight. Your feedback is very welcome, make sure to chime in if you love writing, and would love to enjoy _reading_ Markdown documents even more than you ever did before:

We're announcing the beta of Lettera, a native macOS Markdown editor for *you*

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Last week, there was lamentation about the decline of the effectiveness of blogs in our community. As a supposedly fun, educating, and people-gathering exercise, I proposed a blog carnival and kickstarted this month here: https://christiantietze.de/posts/2026/04/swift-blog-carnival-tiny-languages/

The idea is simple: for this month, blog about your take on "Tiny Languages" in the Swift context, ping me, and I'll manually aggregate it. End of month, there'll be a round-up. Next month: different host, diifferent topic.

Feel invited!
