Open source

• SwiftVLC

  A Swift wrapper around libVLC for iOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and Mac Catalyst. Built for @Observable, async/await, and SwiftUI rather than the Objective-C and KVO of VLCKit.

• MarqueeText

  A lightweight SwiftUI component that scrolls text only when it overflows its container, with RTL layouts and reduced-motion handling.

• Drops

  A micro-framework for the alerts iOS shows itself — the pasteboard copy banner, the Apple Pencil connection notice — with queueing, tap actions, and VoiceOver support.

• SwifterSwift

  A collection of over 500 native Swift extensions — handy methods, syntactic sugar, and performance improvements for iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS.
