GET READY FOR IPHONE DUO: WHAT IOS DEVELOPERS NEED TO CHANGE
Abstract A few years ago, I wrote about the future of mobile app development. Back then, foldable phones were an Android story, and iOS developers stayed in a comfortable single-screen world. That changed on September 9, 2026, when Apple announced iPhone Duo. It has a 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner display that unfolds. I went through Apple’s tech talks to find what really matters for an existing app. In this post, we will look at five ideas:

AN OVERVIEW OF APACHE SUPERSET FOR SELF-HOSTED BI
Abstract Sooner or later, every data project gets the same request: “Can we have a dashboard for this?” Commercial tools like Power BI and Tableau do this job well, but their per-user licenses add up quickly. Simple open-source tools are easy to start with, yet many of them keep fine-grained data permissions for their paid plans. So I spent some time looking at Apache Superset, an open-source BI platform that started at Airbnb and is now a top-level Apache project.

HOW I BUILT FLIGHT SHARING AND SCREENSHOT PROTECTION FOR 12BAY ON IOS
Abstract When you plan a trip with family or friends, choosing a flight is rarely a solo decision. You search for cheap tickets, compare airlines, check departure hours, and then try to show the options to everyone in your group. For a long time, the common habit was simple: take five or six phone screenshots and send them into a group chat. But screenshots are messy, hard to read, and quickly go out of date as airline prices change.

NEW FEATURE: SMART NEW VERSION CHECK & UIKIT PREVIEWS SINCE VERSION 2.2.2
Abstract While working on multiple mobile app projects, I noticed two recurring problems: Users often don’t update the app because they never know a new version is available. UIKit developers struggle to preview views quickly without running the whole app. So in this update, we introduce two improvements to make development and user experience smoother. Let’s Code Auto-Check for New App Versions Apps should always stay up to date with the latest performance and stability improvements.

WHAT IS BLOCKCHAIN
Abstract Today, we start a new journey to learn about blockchain and the basic ideas behind it. We have two goals: to understand it clearly, and to use that knowledge in our jobs. Let’s get started Why? Traditional database technologies present several challenges for recording financial transactions. For instance, consider the sale of a property. Once the money is exchanged, ownership of the property is transferred to the buyer. Individually, both the buyer and the seller can record the monetary transactions, but neither source can be trusted.
