First contract of 2025....... falls through.
(I'm fine! But always planning 3-6 months in advance is something.)
I don't suppose you could use some Swift 6 training/workshops/consultation? I've worked with large teams all the way down to individuals. I'd love to talk!

Every podcast I don’t listen to is called “Achieving the Limit with Duff and Ween” and gets sold for 300 million dollars while every podcast I do listen to is called “The Movie Toilet” and begs me to buy a t shirt so they can eat food

I find it very telling how many form submissions I receive from the email "barcodes@[domain].com"
That's the sort of privacy savvy that would lead someone to @trybarcodes.com in the first place 👏

Does anyone have any hacks for storing images in an iCloud database? I've recently added the ability to save photos to your card in Barcodes, and a few people have reported that once they add a few then the sync won't work to their watch. Am I missing something? Currently stored as binary data 😂

I recently learned that if we want to have a lazy var inside an Observable class in Swift, we need to annotate it with @ObservationIgnored to skip synthesizing observation logic for the property. I wrote a blog post with an example: nilcoalescing.com/blog/LazyVar...

Really wish this didn't have to be right around ✨seasonal sales✨ every year, if I could manually change it I'd do it in a heartbeat
I had an issue with moving accounts between countries last year and it was way too stressful

My app “The Assembler” is now available on iPhone, iPad and Vision Pro!
Of all my projects, this is my favorite one, if you try it, I hope you like it too! 🫂🤩
I originally made it as an iPad app for Swift Student Challenge 2022, and it’s come so far since then.
