Thanks you for trying!
I'm sorry, I might have reached a rate-limit with reddit. I investigated and fixed and optimized the calls I make.
Everything should be working perfectly! 🫶

Ah I see so you still use localhost for your the “core” development

Florent #buildinpublic @fberrez.bsky.social · 1d

Interesting, do you deploy in a staging environment and then test from there? Is it not too expensive?

Do you use Xcode to code in Swift or another ide + simulator?
