Hey! 👋
I’m working on rebranding iOS Dev Tools.
In a few weeks we’ll have a new design and style.
I’m also looking to improve and slightly refresh the newsletter design. Make it better!
That’s why I’m looking to hire a junior developer interested in helping me improve the newsletter:

Coming up with / finding new ideas
Active on X (Twitter) because our biggest audience is there
This is roughly 3-5 hours of work per week. I don’t have a huge budget, but if this sounds interesting and you’d like to earn some extra bucks, feel free to reply to this email.
P.S. I have some more ideas and this position can become part-time job.
Let’s connect on X (ex-Twitter) & LinkedIn! 🤝

Architecture linter for Swift - enforce Clean Architecture import rules via SwiftSyntax. A CI-ready guardrail for AI-assisted development.
Why you will like it:
Architecture linting via SwiftSyntax, parses every .swift file with a real syntax tree (no regex) to enforce your module import boundaries, so Clean Architecture / dependency-inversion rules are checked on every build.
Built for CI and AI-assisted dev, ships a GitHub Action, a SwiftPM build-tool plugin, and Danger output, plus a Claude Code hook that runs the linter automatically whenever an AI agent edits Swift and makes it fix the boundary before moving on.
Baselines for realistic adoption, snapshot existing violations once, then fail the build only on new ones, so big codebases can adopt the linter gradually (measure → freeze → reduce).
First-class TCA support , an isolatePeers rule enforces that feature modules can’t import their siblings (the core Composable Architecture boundary), and init --tca auto-detects a TCA project and groups it into the right layers.
Graph an architecture diagram that can’t go stale emits a layer-level diagram of your modules straight from the real import graph (Mermaid or DOT), with rule-breaking edges drawn in red, so you can embed it in a README/PR and regenerate it in CI.
Init config from your real import graph generates a starter .solid.yml by analysing your actual inter-module imports (deterministic, no LLM), with a --freeze mode that adopts the rules on a legacy codebase with zero violations on day one.
Available via Homebrew (brew tap) and on Swift Package Index. Open source (MIT), Swift 6.

Swift package to build tools and applications with large language models (LLMs) and vision language models (VLMs) in MLX Swift.
Why you will like it:
Model loading with integrations for a variety of tokenizer and model downloading packages.
Low-rank (LoRA) and full model fine-tuning with support for quantized models.
Many model architectures for both LLMs and VLMs.
