Two hours on a train without WiFi means reverse... engineering the Liquid Glass...liquid...effect? Reasonably simple API to work with: CASDFLayer, CASDFElementLayer and a CASDFEffect subclass, in this case CASDFFillEffect. You can wrap up in a UIView subclass, overriding layerClass to play nicely with higher-level UIKit animation abstractions.show more

Came up with a real simple way to make... these flasks look like they have liquid! 💦 1. Model glass & invert the normals 2. Model the liquid 3. Rig the liquid with a bone facing up 4. in engine apply "jiggle physics" with negative gravity #gamedev #unity #blender #animation #b3dshow more

Started using React Native two days ago and immediately... fell down a tab-bar rabbit hole. I’d seen Instagram and Revolut collapse their tab bars on scroll while keeping every icon visible. I wanted that without giving up real iOS Liquid Glass. Turns out iOS 26’s public API can’t express that state. UITabBarMinimizeBehavior is an enum of when, not what. With onScrollDown, UIKit minimizes the bar to the active tab alone. There’s no parameter controlling what survives. So most implementations rebuild the visible bar as a custom component. Some use genuine glass materials, but the real UITabBar is gone and with it, the native selection capsule: that little blob that moves like a drop of water between tabs. You can reproduce it with separate springs on the leading and trailing edges. I didn’t want a reproduction. I wanted UIKit’s. Then I remembered a Flutter app i built some months back which uses cupertino_native. Flutter runs the app while a platform-view bridge renders a real UIKit UITabBar. Finding expo-glass-tabs clarified the compact geometry I wanted. The two ideas clicked: why not bridge a real UITabBar into React Native? Here’s the trick: a standalone UITabBar has no UITabBarController managing it, so Apple’s minimization rule never applies. That means I can control its frame and items myself. Expo Router still owns navigation and screen lifecycle. React Native detects scroll direction. Swift removes and restores the real item labels, recentres the icons and animates the native bar’s size. All five icons remain visible. The result keeps Apple’s Liquid Glass, water-drop capsule, hit testing and accessibility, while adding a compact state its public API doesn’t provide. One gotcha tho: detaching the bar means reimplementing everything the controller previously gave you for free. Active-tab reselect scrolling was one exampleshow more

PS5 Liquid Metal Nightmare Has Just Begun! 😱 Gallium... diffusion just ate the heatsink in an early PS5 model! This CFI-1116 unit came in with severe overheating. The liquid metal completely broke through the protective plating, forming a rock hard alloy crust and leaving a massive dry spot over the APU.

Thanks to an Android app called Liquid Glass, I... can finally achieve an almost limitless Liquid Glass lock screen experience on One UI. It supports depth effects, lets you tweak all kinds of glass parameters, and even allows full font customization. You can use virtually any font you download, giving you an incredible level of freedom. The results are genuinely stunning. The biggest downside is that the setup is quite complicated. Adjusting the clock, in particular, takes a lot of steps instead of being something you can edit directly, so the learning curve is fairly steep. I really hope the developer can make the customization process more intuitive in future updates, and add more language options, especially Chinese, so more users can enjoy it.show more
