I'm now new on bluesky too 🙋🏽‍♂️ iOS and all things Apple dev and designer. App I'm currently building is called Woofly and is an all-in-one app for dog owners. You can check some of the features in this short video or in the App Store of course woofly.app/store

Tim Cook #AppleEvent: Good mooorning! One more thing: iPhone 17 Trump Edition! It comes only in one color: a beautiful spray-tan inspired orange! In each box there's a replica of the golden Apple statue I gifted to our dear leader! Plus: an original piece of my spine! We think you're gonna love it 🫶🏽

I used to look forward to Apple events like a little child. It was so exciting!
since Tim Cook made those ugly meetings with the wannabe dictator (and racist, ra*ist, criminal, fascist) and gifted him the golden Apple statue, I can’t look at Apple the same way.

Also, is apple still running its ads on Elons website? Because Apple directly giving money to that na*i is disgraceful.
(Ok probably the money goes just directly to russia)

Releasing music and have it on all platforms without doing much was so refreshingly simple compared to app stores 😅 of course it’s not the same but still. It was almost enjoyable!
I used @distrokid.com and they made it really easy and affordable. Love it.

Is Tim or Apple itself on bluesky too? I guess no.
Cause i wanna tell them that I‘m disgusted that they‘re doing ads on X again. What are they thinking? „nice look their CEO just made a nazi salute twice, we definitely should give them more money 🙌🏽“

This is so embarrassing I don’t even have words

Sometimes when i need a break from designing or coding i play around with electronic beats stuff. I don’t really know what I’m doing yet but it’s a fun change

So i made a #SoundCloud where i can save my experiments 😅

Was playing around with different snares and basslines. I always struggle how to continue from there and how to improve and give it the finish.

I just went down a rabbit hole of music production software UIs and wow there’s a lot of pretty stuff. Colorful, playful and with depth. Why did „we“ stop doing this 😩

In Swift we can switch on multiple optional values simultaneously using tuple patterns and define explicit logic for each possible combination of those values without nested if-else conditions.

Is it correct that on iOS I can’t leave a Messages groupchat if there are 3 people (incl me) in it? 😩 button is inactive. Seems like it’s not „possible“ because if i leave, there will be only 2 participants and it’s not a group chat for iOS anymore 😄 but that’s kinda ridiculous.

Trendly app I love you so much, but i think the cornerradius of that inner white line in the icon should be 1 or 2px smaller. I think.
But that’s just something small of course!
(Made mine just quick and dirty in photos app, it’s not exact)

There are many ways to customize SF Symbols in #SwiftUI. I have a detailed post covering how to adjust their size, color, rendering modes, variable values, and design variants that can serve as a great reference when working with symbol images in iOS apps: nilcoalescing.com/blog/Customi...

For my app Woofly (dog related) i tried pretty much every ad/promotion platform 😅 apple search ads work pretty ok, because people are already in the appstore. BUT it’s reallllly expensive. 2$ or more for a tap are not the exception.
For my app instagram ads worked the best and its also much cheaper

I only saw the App Store Connect iOS app update today 😅 it finally got a little better. Some cool features! But the stats are still too simple I think. The trendly app is awesome for this and also free if you make less than 500$/month or something gettrendly.app #iOSDev
