This is kinda of how I'm looking at my month of marketing.
Hiring an agency really helps, because now someone else is going to handle UGC stuff. I think I'm going to learn into the "Free Tools" type of marketing, since those have done well for me previously.

For the next 30 days straight, I am going to close Xcode and focus only on marketing for Elite Hoops. I'll keep an updated, running journal here at this post - which I'll try to update at the end of each day :

I'm looking to get back on the conference circuit a bit next year 🎤
At Superwall, we're also looking to sponsor a few as well. So if the combo of a perennially tired dad as a speaker along with Superwall as a sponsor sounds great to you, hit me up!

Tips on using String(localized:), and what I used to translate Elite Soccer Club to 3 languages in a few days:
- Cursor+Claude
- String Catalogs
- Xcode's (awesome!) on-device model for comment generation
- ButterKit
- Superwall's paywall translations

I couldn't let the custom Alyx SNES box art go to waste. To the settings footer it goes. #ThankYouForPlaying

I often forget this, but you can use a gradient with .foregroundStyle and SF Symbols. That's how I have the multi-colored one here:
```
Image(systemName: "yourSymbol")
.foregroundStyle(Gradient(colors: [.purple, .red, .blue])
```
```
Image(systemName: "yourSymbol")
.foregroundStyle(Gradient(colors: [.purple, .red, .blue])
```

#1 thing I heard was people wanted more direction for choosing a caffeine limit.
I think I finally got it right. Ended up writing my own scroll edge effect...effect. Worth it though ✨

One dumb idea I had (have?) for Alyx was for a chat room to open up once a day so we could all just vibe and talk about what coffee we are drinking.
Definitely a mission-critical feature, I know.

The silliest way to track caffeine, with all of iOS 26's bells & whistles. Scan stuff with Visual Look Up, use interactive Shortcuts, and tons more.
Since I'm terrible at making videos, I had SNES-style box art commissioned for it instead 😄🕹️☕️

Here's hoping all this hustle this summer was worth it. As a pre-launch final video, on the splash page - you can actually tap and fidget with all of the little tiles 🪀

One of my favorite lil animations in Alyx is the bobble on the paywall.
I never really thought to use .brightness() in animation, but it gives it a nice pop and shine.

📸 Visual Lookup 2.0 in Alyx 📸
I rebuilt the Visual Lookup integration from the ground up. Now it can recognize most drinks and fetch their caffeine content, it's no longer limited to pre-defined app entities.
Here's my test run at Target 🤘
