Lottie is a tool from AirBnB that “parses Adobe After Effects animations exported as json with Bodymovin and renders them natively on mobile and on the web!”. It works on iOS and other platforms. Cool.

Control Room

Yes, we’re developers, and sometimes we prefer the command line. But simctl is a party cryptic way to control the iOS simulator on your Mac. This guy Paul Hudson has put together a nice Mac UI to tame the simulator.

👉 Control Room on GitHub

Thank you, Paul. 🤟 (And where do these people even find the time? 🤷🏻‍♂️). I love his can-do developer attitude, btw:

simctl is a great tool for controlling the iOS simulator, but I find it a little hard to use. So, I wrote Control Room.

Via iOS Dev Weekly.

simctl is a great tool for controlling the iOS simulator, but I find it a little hard to use. So, I wrote Control Room: a SwiftUI macOS that lets you manipulate simulator settings easily. I'd be happy to post the code on GitHub if other folks would find it useful. pic.twitter.com/kvTO0uvQfF
