Also includes curated links: a deep dive on bringing Goodnotes to the web via Swift + WebAssembly (2.2M lines, 50MB Wasm binary), the new Swift Networking Workgroup announcement, WWDC 2026 developer wish lists, a reflection on what it means to be 'Apple-like', a pure-Swift Markdown-to-PDF engine targeting WebAssembly, and the AdaEngine 0.1.0 Swift-first game engine release. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
