Small library of visual debugging tools for iOS.

This project is a programming satire project and a curated catalog of software anti-patterns designed to demonstrate how to write intentionally unmaintainable and fragile code. It serves as a maintainability educational resource and a study in poor design choices, using extreme examples of obfuscated logic to teach developers how to recognize and avoid technical debt. The project provides a comprehensive guide to code obfuscation, focusing on techniques to hide program logic through deceptive naming, bizarre control flows, and misleading documentation. It distinguishes itself by intentionally

Chisel is a collection of LLDB debugging extensions and tools for inspecting and manipulating the user interface of iOS applications. It provides utilities for tracing responder chains, traversing view hierarchies, and modifying UI elements during runtime. The toolset distinguishes itself through specialized visual debugging capabilities, including a suite for toggling view visibility and borders to isolate layout issues, as well as a system to export colors and images from a running app to a desktop previewer for asset verification. The project covers a broad range of UI diagnostic capabili

FBRetainCycleDetector is a runtime memory profiling tool and analyzer for iOS applications. It identifies circular references and retain cycles within the Objective-C object graph to prevent memory leaks. The tool analyzes the live memory heap and inspects runtime metadata to discover object relationships. It identifies closed-loop reference chains, including those involving associated objects and timers, and uses custom logic to filter out known safe cycles from reports. The project covers memory management capabilities including allocation tracking by class name, runtime object graph analy

FLEX is an in-app debugging tool and runtime exploration environment for iOS applications. It provides an integrated suite for inspecting and modifying the internal state of a running process without the use of an external debugger. The project includes a runtime inspector for browsing the memory heap and calling methods dynamically, alongside a view hierarchy debugger for visualizing and adjusting layout structures in real time. It features a network traffic monitor to log and analyze HTTP request history, headers, and responses, as well as a sandbox manager for viewing and editing files and

This project is a code naming convention guide and programming style guide. It provides a language-agnostic set of rules for naming variables and functions to improve the readability and cohesiveness of a codebase. The guide implements a variable naming framework that organizes identifiers using abstract, high-context, and low-context patterns. It also defines a specific function naming pattern based on a prefix-action-context system to communicate the operational domain and intended results of a function. The system covers broader standards for code readability optimization, including the u

iOS project bootstrap aimed at high quality coding.

Quick automated code review of your changes

SwiftFormat is a tool for the Swift language that functions as a code formatter, linter, and refactoring utility. It automatically applies consistent style rules and visual formatting to source files to ensure a uniform appearance across a project. The project differentiates itself by providing both a command-line interface for batch processing and an Xcode extension for integration directly into the development environment. It includes specialized capabilities for modernizing legacy API usage, simplifying language constructs, and inferring formatting options by analyzing an existing codebase

Makes it easier to support older versions of iOS by fixing things and adding missing methods

SwiftLint is a static analysis tool and code formatter designed to enforce consistent coding styles and identify semantic issues within Swift source code. It functions as a command-line utility that evaluates code against established conventions to ensure uniform structure and architectural standards across a project. The tool distinguishes itself through a custom linting engine that leverages compiler-integrated syntax analysis to perform deep inspections of code structure. Beyond simple pattern matching, it supports automated source code transformation to correct formatting violations and r

This project is a collection of engineering guidelines and best practices for writing readable and maintainable JavaScript source code. It serves as a clean code guide and refactoring manual to help developers improve the structure of their codebases. The repository provides a reference for applying SOLID principles to reduce coupling and enable extensions without modifying existing logic. It includes a naming convention standard for using explicit, searchable identifiers and a guide for asynchronous patterns to replace nested callbacks with clearer execution flows. The guidelines cover soft

This book is a distillation of my thoughts on the software creation process — how code evolves, and how we can keep it correct, maintainable, and scalable by relying on thoughtful design and the compiler as a partner.

Cross-platform static analyzer and linter for Swift.

Aardvark is a library that makes it dead simple to create actionable bug reports.

Find memory issues & leaks in your iOS app without instruments

MLeaksFinder is a diagnostic framework and profiling utility designed for the automatic detection of memory leaks and unfreed objects in iOS applications. It functions as a memory leak detector and profiling tool that identifies retain cycles and analyzes object lifecycles for both Swift and Objective-C code. The tool identifies circular dependencies by tracing reference chains and traversing object graphs, starting from a root view controller. It provides precise debugging data by capturing the allocation stacks of leaked objects to trace the origin of the memory leak. The framework include

Class for logging excessive blocking on the main thread

p3c is a Java static analysis tool and code quality linter designed to enforce professional coding guidelines and quality standards. It utilizes a set of custom rules based on the PMD engine to scan source code for style violations, performance bottlenecks, and potential bugs. The project is distributed as an IDE linting plugin that provides real-time feedback and warnings during development. It also includes functionality for pre-commit code quality gates, allowing modified files to be scanned and blocked if they violate defined rules before being committed to version control. The analysis

This project is a collection of software engineering principles and architectural design patterns designed to minimize the mental effort required to understand and maintain source code. It serves as a guide for implementing clean code methodologies and architectural simplification to reduce the overall cognitive load on developers. The framework emphasizes aligning module boundaries and ubiquitous language with business stakeholders to prevent architectural ripple effects. It advocates for balancing service granularity to avoid the overhead of distributed monoliths and suggests favoring objec

RuboCop is a static code analyzer and linter for Ruby. It functions as a static analysis tool designed to detect potential bugs, identify style violations, and improve overall code quality in Ruby projects. The project provides an automated code formatter that rewrites source code to align with established community standards. It also implements a language server protocol to surface linting and formatting errors directly within text editors. Its capabilities cover automated code linting and the analysis of Ruby code style to ensure consistency across a project. These functions are driven by
