Hey! π
I appreciate you reading and supporting the newsletter.
Another Thursday, another issue with the latest tools to help you with daily tasks.
Let’s dive in!
Let’s connect on X (ex-Twitter) & LinkedIn! π€
Swift library that provides proactive memory management for your Apple platform apps. Instead of waiting for memory warnings that come too late, it gives you real-time insights into your app's memory usage and proximity to termination, allowing you to adapt your app's behavior dynamically.
Why you will like it:
Navigate through normal, warning, urgent, critical, and terminal states based on memory usage ratios
App-level state, app-level memory pressure, and system-wide headroom
500ms heartbeat with smart change detection
Convenient view modifiers for reactive UI updates
Modern async/await patterns with AsyncStream
Works on iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS

Pure-Swift library that helps you convert HTML strings into NSAttributedString with customized styles and tags.
Why you will like it:
Parse HTML strings using pure-Swift and regular expressions.
Automatically correct invalid HTML strings, including mixed or isolated tags.
More compatible with HTML tags than a parser that is based on XMLParser.
Customizable HTML tag parser with painless extended tag support and the ability to customize tag styles.
Support for HTML rendering, stripping, and selecting.
Support for parsing HTML color names into UIColor/NSColor.
Faster than NSAttributedString.DocumentType.html, and safe on inputs that would crash the system API — see PERF_REPORT.md.
Thread-safe render / stripper / selector — a single parser instance can be shared across concurrent calls.
Fully test cases and test coverage.

A native, refined Markdown editor for macOS.

Full folder structure in the Sidebar. Click any file to start editing instantly.
A bird’s eye view of your document. Jump to any section in one click.
Word count, paragraph count, and reading time, all at a glance.
