Just released a major update 2.0 to Timely. Mac OS menu bar app to manage timezones and reminders!

Created this to help myself as I work with people across different timezones and was bad at forgetting things and need quick and easy way to remind myself.

Playing with gradient animations for special user interaction. Here I'm animating the background & borders using gradient transitions as well as animating the text as it appears. Happy with the results so far!

These inline transitions feel far more delightful & nicer than presenting a modal dialog, plus these are super easy to implement in swiftUI.

This one line code is all you need:

.transition(.offset(.init(width: 0, height: -40)).combined(with: .opacity))

Now I've added the ability to generate a response using GenAI for appstore reviews within the app.

Next up: adding Open AI integration to draft a response for you.

Building a native app to view and respond to appstore reviews for all my apps quickly. Got tired of how slow using Appstore connect was for this purpose.
