Actioneer 1.0.8 focuses on making live GitHub Actions monitoring more reliable while using the GitHub API more efficiently.

Highlights

• In-progress workflow runs now keep refreshing while they are still active, so expanded jobs and steps stay current before the run finishes.
• Expanded run details are more stable and easier to read, with clearer badges, preserved job context, and contiguous step numbering.
• Workflow status badges are now translated more consistently across the app's supported languages.
• Background refresh is lighter on the GitHub API, reducing duplicate requests and helping preserve rate-limit headroom.

Technical improvements

• Fixed several live-refresh lifecycle issues in the detail pane so switching repositories or rebuilding rows no longer disables the active refresh loop.
• Removed duplicate initial jobs fetches caused by rerender races around freshly expanded runs.
• Reduced unnecessary polling pressure by tightening selected-repo refresh ownership and job-refresh reuse.

Actioneer for Linux has translations available in numerous languages, including Russian, Spanish, French, Portuguese (Brazil), Hindi, Simplified Chinese, Arabic, Bengali, Urdu, German, and Dutch.

It also includes a built-in crash reporter, which you can copy and paste the report or open an issue on GitHub. Additionally, there are some tweaks and improvements made under the hood.

There were a bunch of updates of Actioneer for Linux recently, which I forgot to post here. Here's what's new in these updates:

1.02

• Faster and smoother UI with refreshed repo/workflow lists and improved scrolling behavior.
• New run filtering controls with better caching, so switching filters is instant and doesn’t reload data.
• Better workflow auto-refresh and run status updates, including fewer duplicate fetches.
• Notifications are more reliable across Snap/Flatpak, with improved icon handling and fallbacks.
• Improved sandboxed credential storage using the secret portal for Snap/Flatpak.
• Offline-friendly cache persistence for workflows, runs, and jobs.
• Packaging and CI updates across Snap, Flatpak, and AppImage for better compatibility.
• Dependency updates and stability fixes.

1.03

• Job logs now render ANSI colors, grouped workflow sections, and clearer command/output formatting.
• Aligned timestamps and command prefixes improve scanability, with stronger error highlighting.
• Packaging CI refreshed with multi-arch updates for AppImage/Snap/Flatpak builds.
• Dependency updates and demo log refreshes for improved accuracy.

1.04

• Handle expired job logs (HTTP 410) with clearer messaging instead of a broken view.
• Strip BOM markers in job logs so first-line timestamps render correctly.

1.05

• Manual workflow triggers now support workflow_dispatch inputs with dynamic parameter fields.
• Dependency updates for ryu, unicode-ident, and zmij.

Recently, I've been playing with Clawd / Moltbot / Openclaw bot. Of course, it ended up with asking it to write some code. Since I'm running it in a VM with Ubuntu Linux, I've been playing with developing some apps for it. And at some moment, I realised that I'm sending screenshots of an app, but each time I have to do it manually.

So I decided to automate that part. I tried some console apps for Linux that promised they can do screenshots, but none of them worked for me for some reason.

So I decided to write my own. I picked Rust, and Openclaw did some research for me about how it should be done. It ended up with a console app that uses the FreeDesktop Screenshot portal. It required creating a .desktop file so I could see that Gnome permission request and click Allow. That is required just once, so now I've automated it.

That's a pretty cool thing to be honest, which I already tried with an iOS app using UI tests - the AI agent just runs UI tests, gets screenshots from a report, analyzes them, and understands what is wrong with the app UI.

I pushed the app to GitHub and published a release with binaries, .deb, and .rpm packets for arm64 and amd64. And it got a nice automatic installation script. Since I made it using Openclaw, I called it Claw Screenshot.

AppMetric version 1.13.0 has been released. Now on Swift 6, I've slightly tweaked the UI and removed the popover opening on launch (except for the first launch) — I concluded that it was rather annoying, especially if the app launches automatically after a reboot. Also added localization for several new languages.

An update for AppMetric, version 1.12.0, has been released. I've been working on it in my spare time. What's new in recent versions:

• Apple reviewers, for some reason, don't like OAuth authorization via Safari anymore, so I had to redo it using an embedded window with WKWebView. I hope that in the next SwiftUI, its own WebView will finally appear, so I won't have to use a wrapper anymore.
• Added a button for quick access to app statistics on the Appmetrica website.
• Added viewing of statistics as charts — both for each individual metric and all metrics combined. All this just 7 years after one of the users requested adding charts :)
• Added interface translation into several languages. Fortunately, with the help of AI, it has become very easy.

Updated AppMetric for macOS — a client for Yandex's AppMetrica service.

• Fixed an error where selecting today's date would not update when the day changed.
• Added formatting for metric numbers (depending on the system language and region).
• Minor fixes.

Released a small update for Modulbank Informer. Updated the status bar icon (now more recognizable) and added a checkbox to hide accounts with zero balance. Plus, some minor refactoring.

I’ve updated AppMetric for macOS — a client for Yandex’s AppMetrica service. The previous version, sadly, stopped working when they changed their response format.

From what I’ve been able to figure out, I was using something undocumented in their response. And judging by the current API responses, that was the number of crashes. Unfortunately, I had to remove it and replace it with the number of devices.

Since I finally got my hands on it, I decided to bring it up to date. Reworked everything in SwiftUI, but had to wrap the popup itself in good old NSPopover, because MenuBarExtra from SwiftUI is far too limited. Maybe I’ll get around to writing a separate post about it. While I was at it, I migrated everything to Swift Concurrency and SF Symbols. The catch is that it now requires macOS 13+, but I assume the people who find it useful keep their Macs up to date too. And, of course, finally — native Apple Silicon support.

The update went through review today and is available for download. In the future I’d like to add per-day/per-week charts.

Spotted an annoying bug in Modulbank Informer — if there was an account in Turkish lira, the JSON failed to parse and no data was shown at all. Fixed in this update.

Recently I noticed that Modulbank, the bank I use, has a public API. Since they don’t have a macOS app, and their iOS app doesn’t run on Apple Silicon (a security restriction on their side), I built a small informer that shows the list of accounts and balances in the status bar.

The app requires macOS 13+ — I wanted to squeeze the latest features out of SwiftUI and get some practice while I was at it.

On September 24, a new version of macOS, Mojave, was released. And along with it came Safari 12, which now supports installing extensions only from the Mac App Store. I had to make an app with an extension.

Today I've decided to experiment with HEIF that was introduced by Apple with macOS 10.13 and iOS 11. They said that it has the same quality with much lower file size.

It's supported in the latest versions of macOS and iOS and last models of iPhone can take pictures in that format.

I'm thinking about compressing my home archive of photos and videos. I was experimenting with HEVC (H.265) and results were great - I had reduced the size of my videos by encoding them to HEVC with an awesome util called HandBrake.

I found the only way to convert JPG to HEIF (which has HEIC extension). It's possible with the Preview app from macOS. But it would be interesting for me if I can do it by myself in Swift. So I did :)

My folder with 64 photos from my action camera was 203 mb in JPG format. And it's only 31.3 mb in HEIC.

macOS and iOS support it from the box. And what's interesting - it's easy to add pictures in this format to the Photos library and it will appear on all your devices that use iCloud. But if you want to export this picture from the Photos library - it will be converted to JPG on the fly, so it looks like you can't export the original HEIC file.

The converter is free and open source (but it's for macOS only): https://github.com/makoni/jpg-to-heif-converter

I got tired of the SMS spam that periodically comes to me — offers for loans, mortgages, and so on. While watching one of the WWDC videos, I noticed that Apple had provided an API for filtering SMS messages. If your filter triggers, such messages arrive silently, without a sound or vibration, and go into a separate spam category in Messages.

Without much hesitation, I made this filter and uploaded it to the App Store. Hopefully it will be useful to someone besides me.

I decided to move the information about my apps from apps.arm1.ru to a separate domain. Since I once started publishing them under the name Space In Box, the domain matches: spaceinbox.me. I decided to remove apps that were no longer relevant or available and use vector graphics as much as possible everywhere (icons, logos), because on Retina screens raster graphics really hurts the eyes.

It was a great excuse to build something in Swift with the Vapor framework, and so far everything I needed worked out. Updating it when something changes in the logic is of course harder, because you have to rebuild everything on the server each time, and that takes 3–4 minutes every time. But if it concerns only the layout (tweaking html), the templates are picked up by the binary on the fly and there is no need to recompile. The speed and memory usage (8.8 MB so far) are pleasing. Now I can update old apps and ship new ones.

UPDATE: With a simple update to Vapor 1.5.14, without changing any code, the site started using even less memory — 6.7–7.7 MB.

I had read mentions before that the Mac App Store is dead. About a month ago I hacked together my informer for Yandex AppMetrica and uploaded it to MAS. I started watching the charts (not for long, admittedly). In fact, there were 2 purchases at launch (I even know who both were from). The result surprised me.

Immediately first place in the Business category in the Russian Mac App Store. Of course, it is nice when your icon decorates the list of categories.

Still, just 2 purchases say that people really buy and download very few apps in the Mac App Store. Maybe free ones get downloaded more, but paid ones definitely do not. At least in Russia. It is nothing like the App Store for iOS apps. On top of that, the app reached 8th place in the store's overall top chart.

So it is not about the category. In other countries, apps are probably bought more often, but in Russia it is very little. Then again, piracy is much more widespread on macOS than on iOS, because there is no jailbreak hassle involved. That is probably why people here do not buy very often.

The secret is simple. Go to iconfinder.com, find a decent flat icon. It is usually in fairly muted tones. Download the SVG, open it in Sketch. Add gradients and shadows to the elements, and you get a contrasty, punchy icon. At least it is better than it was :)

Over a couple of evenings I made a simple macOS informer that shows app stats from Yandex AppMetrica. It lives as an icon in the status bar:

• Shows a list of all apps from AppMetrica.
• Displays the number of users, sessions, and crashes for today.
• Automatically refreshes stats in the background.

CompareShots version 1.2 has been released.

I released it because one of the users emailed me asking to hide the logo and text after an image is selected, because otherwise, if the image is not full-screen, they stick out from behind it or show through. While I was at it, I decided to level up the app a bit more. At last, my subscription to various new libraries came in handy. Now you can draw on top of images. With different colors and brushes of different sizes. One evening, and this beauty was ready :)

CompareShots version 1.1 has been released.

What is new: transparency now changes simply by dragging your finger horizontally. One of the users actually asked for this feature in an email. It also makes the transparency change more smoothly.

Besides that, I completely rewrote the app in Swift. So now I have as many as one released project written in it :) But this is only the beginning.

What is surprising is that I submitted the App Store update yesterday, and in less than a day it had already passed Review and been released. I do not remember Apple ever approving an app that fast.

I've been trying to come up with something that would make it convenient to do pixel-perfect screen layout while developing iOS apps. Something that would make it easy and visual to compare the mockup and the result. Today I hacked together this tool for OS X - an almost transparent window where you can open a mockup, place it over Xcode or the simulator, and see what you got. You can adjust the transparency with a slider to check how closely it matches.

Maybe it will be useful to someone. Or maybe someone else feels the same pain and will join the development.

The source code is on github.

Download the binary.

P.S. my first app for OS X.

Released a new app - CompareShots.

While working, I had the thought that it would be nice to have some kind of tool for comparing the mockup and the actual result. I wrote this little tool in one evening. Then I spent a few more evenings making screenshots. Yeah, the screenshots took more time :)

The app lets you choose 2 images from the device library. For example, a designer's app or website mockup and a screenshot of what the developer built, and check whether it really matches pixel for pixel. While you keep your finger on the screen, the first image is shown. Take it away, and the second one appears. There is a transparency slider, so you can clearly see where things do not match. The mismatch result as an image can be shared, emailed, or sent to any other app that accepts images.

App for iPhone and iPad.

So, in February Yandex forcibly moved all Yandex.Subscriptions users to the Yandex.News service. Without warning, and the whole thing turned out pretty badly. The web version became unavailable. But the API kept working, and the Yandex folks only said that it would continue working. They kept quiet about deadlines and plans. First, new RSS entries stopped being pulled in and the API gave access only to old entries, and then they sent everyone emails saying that on March 31, 2015 they would shut down the API too. Which is what happened. So I removed the iPodpiski app from the App Store and want to sum up some results for myself and for the record.

I wrote the app in spring 2014 in about a week, coding in the evenings. It appeared in the App Store on April 17, 2014, which I happily wrote about on my site and in a post on Habr. The post got a +15 rating and brought some downloads and feature requests. The app fell 17 days short of its first birthday :)

Over that year there were:

1321 downloads of the app and only 496 updates when I released new versions. Not much, but then this is not a mass-market app. RSS is generally considered a technology for robots and geeks. The overwhelming majority of users were from Russia. In 2nd and 3rd place were the US and Ukraine, tied. Record: 77 installs in one day.

1431.42 rubles of revenue from in-app purchases. Initially the app was free, but with ads and a paid option to disable them. Of my 4 apps in the App Store, this is the worst result. On the other hand, getting some money for learning, gaining experience, and solving one of your own problems is not bad either :)

Most of the time the app was in the Top 200 in its category (News) in Russia. The screenshot above shows the highest positions it managed to crawl to in the charts.

Ratings were not great. I never asked people to rate the app anywhere, so ratings were left either by enthusiasts and friends, or by dissatisfied users. Unfortunately, I missed a very annoying bug. When the app launched in portrait mode, the «All Subscriptions» button simply did not appear. As a result, the user saw only the welcome screen and the paid «remove ads» button :) Sad and funny at the same time. I myself constantly used the app in landscape mode and simply did not notice this problem, but I got reviews like «only the ads work».

Most of the requested features I never managed to implement because of lack of time. When you spend the whole day doing web development, it is hard to switch to mobile in the evening, especially when you are tired after work.

The app shows ads from AdMob. Over the year there were only 71135 ad impressions, which brought in $23.87. In other words, the in-app purchase to disable ads brought in more money than the ads themselves :)

So those are the modest results.

Since Yandex shut down its Yandex.Subscriptions service and forcibly moved everyone to Yandex.News, I think this is the end for iPodpiski. Unless they make a public API for Yandex.News. If it is good enough for a port, I'll try to move iPodpiski to the new API. But there is no API yet. The Yandex.Subscriptions API itself still works for now, but they have stopped collecting new news from RSS feeds. The latest news I have there is from February 5-6. I have switched to Feedly myself. Thanks to everyone who used it :)

UPDATE: an email arrived saying that the subscriptions API will be shut down on March 31. Apparently I'll have to remove the app from the App Store too.

I have been using Linode.com hosting services for several years now. That is where I keep my VPS with sites / projects and for various personal purposes.

They have an API, and as far as I understand, they built an iPhone client on top of it.

The client looks like it was just reskinned.

You log in and see the list of all your servers. In my case there is only 1 :)

Tap the server and you see the first bit of beauty. The VPS can be rebooted or even powered off entirely.

Next come graphs for CPU load, traffic, and disk activity. They show activity either for the last 8 hours or for the last 2 weeks. In practice that is usually more than enough.

You can also connect over SSH right there (although some SSH client has to be installed on the iPhone; otherwise it complains). Under the SSH button there is a LISH Console button — that is something like a web console. In other words, there is a built-in SSH client. You can quickly log in and restart a crashed Nginx, for example.

There is an edit server button, but there you can only rename it and assign it to some group.

But that is far from all.

There is a left-side menu with items like these. From the client you can manage DNS records, for example.

There is also access to their knowledge base.

A list of articles by topic; the article itself opens in the built-in browser. The knowledge base is not offline, of course, but overall it is a useful thing (probably). In any case, it will not hurt.

And the final items in the left-side menu are balance, traffic quota statistics, and even the ability to enter a new credit card. In the About section you can call technical support.

The app looks non-native and probably written in something like PhoneGap, but it is still useful. Must have if you host on Linode.

Today the iMetrik update was released. The main additions are the Visitors tab with reports by gender, age, and geography, and the Goals tab, which contains all the same reports but for goals and with additional parameters such as goal achievement, conversion, and more.

Also fixed a couple of issues.

I had wanted to write this app for a long time. Strangely enough, in the eight months since Yandex opened the API for Yandex.Subscriptions after Google Reader was shut down, not a single iOS client had appeared. And I wanted such an app for myself as well. I started reading news at home with a cup of tea, then continued on the road on my iPad — everything I had already read was marked as read, beautiful. And in general it is simply more convenient for me to read news on the iPad. Somehow the web version of Subscriptions does not work particularly fast.

In the app you can not only read news and share it on social networks or add it to Safari Reading List, but also manage subscriptions — add new feeds and remove the ones already added.

If there is no app, write it yourself :) The app is free.

I released a mobile client for Yandex.Metrica for iPhone. The first version can do the following:

• traffic summary (visits, page views, visitors);
• daily traffic chart;
• report on traffic sources to your site;
• report on traffic from search engines;
• report on traffic from other websites;
• report on search phrases visitors used to find your site;
• display the list of your counters.

A small thing, but nice. A separate “All About Moscow” collection appeared in the Russian App Store, and an app I wrote made it into it.

I released an update for the This Day app. I redesigned it for iOS 7 (which is roughly the same as removing almost all styling altogether). In my opinion it became nicer and more concise.

I used the standard UIActivityViewController for sharing via Facebook, Twitter, and other built-in options such as email, sms/iMessage, etc., and I also added Vkontakte-iOS-SDK for sharing to VK instead of the homemade thing that had been there before. True, there are not really any visual differences for the user, and by the time I finally got around to polishing everything, VK had already released an official iOS SDK, but I did not want to dig into it just to replace something that was already working.

At the same time I got rid of the now unnecessary SBJson for working with JSON, because you can safely use the NSJSONSerialization already built into iOS. I decided to add Yandex.Metrica Mobile to the app to count users properly and see, for example, who uses which iOS version and on what device. For now I am just watching the numbers; it is informative.

This is how the little hobby project continues. I will think about what else to build into it, and then I will write the next app. For now — download/update:

Finally finished updating the «This Day» app so that it now installs not just on iPad, but on iPhone as well.

Full version | Lite version

We’ve released a mobile AllCafe client for Android. Conformant to the guidelines, fragments and a few near-impossible things under the hood :-D Works on both phones and tablets.

AllCafe for iPhone 2.0 has been released.

What is new in version 2.0

• New restaurant info layout;
• viewing restaurant photos;
• new restaurant news layout;
• viewing photos attached to news items;
• new restaurant review layout;
• viewing photos in a review and all photos from all visitor reviews;
• restaurant magazines added;
• various fixes and additions.

Screenshots of the new features:

Released a small AllCafe for iPhone update. The main changes are iPhone 3G support (i.e. support for the entire iOS 4 line) and image compression on the client side when adding reviews. Photos also get uploaded with the correct orientation now (portrait or landscape).

The pleasant surprise: the update was approved in just one day. Looks like reviewers are working at an accelerated pace right now — even iTunes Connect will be closed for the holidays from December 22 to December 29.

We’ve finally finished the first version of AllCafe for iPhone — one we can actually show off.

How many times have you walked into a place only to find there are no free seats — or just realised that today you don’t fancy this place after all? It happens to me a lot. And the first thought is: where else can we sit / eat / have a drink nearby?

Our portal AllCafe.ru has a fairly large database of restaurants across Russia. Plus user reviews about them. We made an iPhone app — which, by the way, weighs only about 200 KB. With it you can see nearby venues on a map, or as a list with the approximate distance.

For each venue you can see brief info — address, phone number (which you can of course dial straight from the app), what kind of cuisine it serves, read news about the venue, and — important — read reviews and decide whether to go.

You can also leave a review yourself. Sitting happily (or unhappily) in a restaurant — open the app and add a review.

That’s only what’s in the app right now. The list of planned features is pretty long and there’s plenty of work ahead.

This is, in fact, my first iOS app. Congrats to me.
