Wow! I can't believe I finally crossed the finish line! 🏁. What started out as a Habit Tracking assignment in the #100DaysOfSwiftUI class later became a full-fledged app in the App Store. Thank you @twostraws.bsky.social for your class! #SwiftUI #BuildInPublic #CodeNewbie #AppDev

It was really fun learning about Accessibility in the #100DaysOfSwiftUI class. For this project I got acquainted with Accessibility Inspector. However it's best to test Accessibility on the device. #SwiftUI #iOSDev #BuildInPublic #CodeNewbie #AppDev

🚀 I just finished Day 104 of #100DaysOfSwiftUI. I decided to learn about In-App Purchasing. I need to fix a few bugs and then I will be ready to push it to the App Store. Hope everyone is doing well! So nice to see the new students taking this course!

You tell yourself it's just one gelato.

Cut to 45 minutes later:

You're five cones deep, sticky, possibly lactose-intolerant, and emotionally attached to a flavor called fig & ricotta.

Welcome to Montepulciano.

(Whole story's hiding in the photo alt. Tap to read...) 👀

#Travel #Adventure
You swear it's just one scoop. You're in Montepulciano, it's hot, and you've earned this. You even do the "Which flavor is the most authentic?" routine like you care. You don't. You want pistachio. Always pistachio. The first gelato is... divine. You eat it while pretending not to be in your own Hallmark movie. Cobblestones. Sun. Bell tower. That one old man on a bench who looks like he's been judging tourists since 1742. Then you see another gelateria. Different vibe. They've got fig and ricotta. Fig and ricotta?? That feels artisanal. Possibly even spiritual. You're no quitter. You try that too. You don't even realize it's happening until the fourth cone. Your brain goes, "Just one more." Your stomach goes, "Are we okay?" Your inner child is like, "We are thriving." By cone five, you've stopped pretending. You walk in, make eye contact with the server, and say, "Let's not lie to each other. What's your weirdest flavor?" He says, "Gorgonzola." You say, "Hit me." You're now walking the streets of Montepulciano with blue cheese gelato and zero regrets. You've become a local legend. Tourists are watching you like you're on a self-guided dessert pilgrimage. You sit on a stone step. Your phone's dead. You're sticky. There's gelato on your shirt. You're living your truth. Sometimes, the best travel memories aren't the cathedrals or the tours. Sometimes it's just you, five scoops deep, laughing at how seriously you took "just one." What's your most unhinged vacation food moment? And if this made you smile... share it. Someone out there might need permission to eat five cones today.
