- End of the Benfica Madrid game has been amazing 🤩
- Slowly making improvements to Team Sheets still but want to start the next app but just can’t seem to get them going. Just never as simple as I think it will be 😬
- I’ve wanted to build a football app for over a decade but it’s not cheap licensing data as a hobby let alone taking the risk should your app take off. Sad to see apps falling by the wayside due to spiralling costs.
- Had a creative couple of days, fitting in time to make a lino stamp. Some trial and error but the last attempt came out better than anything I had attempted before. Ink is drying on my prints so will finish them with details in a day or two.
- Wrote a lot of what felt like modern CSS today which feels way more maintainable and readable. Built out a colour system and variables all over the place that will make theming and spacing a breeze to update.
- 2026 is going to be the year of Simplifying ✌️

- Been a while but finally got v1.5 of Team Sheets out. Now onto the next batch of features! If you’re using it I’d love feedback and please do leave a review in the App Store.
- Today was my first chance to attend an Apple session and it was really interesting to listen and learn more about Liquid Glass and iOS 26. Hope I can join in with more of these sessions in the future. Their Battersea offices make for a great venue.
- Another proud dad day under my belt 🥰
- No reason for the Inter player to pull his shirt and I wouldn’t say it’s an obvious error and if Wirtz doesn’t go down I don’t think VAR even look at it. #lfc
- Reposted by Charanjit Chana 👋After much research and development I have made an offline version of ChatGPT. Now you can save water and electricity while navel-gazing, and carry one of the world's most powerfully annoying AI chatbots in your pocket.
- I guess Apple will be rejecting tons of apps from the App Store thanks to their updated guidelines?! “5.1.2(i): Clarifies that you must clearly disclose where personal data will be shared with third parties, including with third-party AI, and obtain explicit permission before doing so.”

- This. Again. 🤦♂️ #lfc
- I’m constantly sat here wondering what the point of VAR is 🤦♂️ #lfc

- Seems like both issues here are fixed so now I’m contemplating going back to the hard-to-discover list search. Prefer my own solution to be honest.
- Nallo unlucky with the way it all unfolded but he di what Konate should have done vs Brentford.
- Not sure why Sky keep showing the Chiesa effort given the linesman had his flag up so it wouldn’t have counted had it gone in #lfc
- #lfc really know how to ruin a weekend 😞
- Found the #lfc game more entertaining without an eye on social media last night. Think I’m going to make that change and generally look at it all less.
- Really like the widgets view in CarPlay but on a non-touch screen implementation it is not obvious when/how you’re interacting. Also quite like the rounded corners introduced in the latest update. Looks great on my car’s infotainment screen and just happens to work concentrically too!
- I really don't like this Siri suggested widget for when I'm away from home and it suggests how long it might take to get back. The suggestion is fine but it just feels so cramped.
- Finished updating Team Sheets for its next release. Once that’s out I’m going to reduce the scope of some of the next ones I had planned so I can focus on a couple of other ideas I’ve had. Mercurion could benefit from some Apple Intelligence integrations but no idea how to integrate it yet.
- As part of #WeirdWrbOctober my entry for day 5 might actually be a pretty useful tool for my own needs! I built a tool that remixes common layout patterns to help inspire initial wireframes: weird.cchana.dev/2025/remix/
- No app development the past few days but I am submitting items for #WierdWebOctober! You can find all my entries at weird.cchana.dev/2025
- I’m participating in #WeirdWebOctober and have submitted my website for day 1’s theme #transparency: weird.cchana.dev/2025/transpa... Change the blend mode of a gradient that goes from black to transparent and scroll to see how the changes apply against different colours.
- No idea why the engraving wasn’t showing up on my iPhone before but it does now and it’s one of those touches that just makes a device feel so personal.
- Bit of work on Mercurion tonight and have refined the list views and tidied up archives. Also validated that writing tools work when available. Also also using catalyst for cross platform compatibility because Xcode was complaining too much! #SwiftUI #BuildInPublic
- Prototyping my next app, Mercurion, has been straight forward enough but I’m pretty sure NavigationSplitView is the cause of lots of issues for me. Trying to persevere with the layout as it does make sense for a post drafting app but I’ve had to drop the details view #SwiftUI #BuildInPublic
