🎤 KAYA HITS THE HIGH NOTES
🔊 @kayathomas.is is a Dartmouth/MIT grad with 10+ years in mobile dev (her own apps, Slack, Calm). After her daughter’s NICU stay shifted her feeding plans, she built Milk Diary, a privacy-first infant feeding app.

Even though @kayathomas.is is an expert in notifications she used AlarmKit in her latest app Milk Dairy. It's been 5 years since she talked about Notifications on the show and it's interesting here why she's using AlarmKit instead.

After half a decade, @kayathomas.is came back to tell me about her new motherhood-inspired app Milk Diary. She talks about using new APIs like Foundation Models, SpeechAnalyzer, and AlarmKit to handle the complex stuff other feeding apps miss.

when I learned what vibe coding was my first thought was “that sounds like a nightmare in production” like how do you maintain the code, fix bugs, iterate on features, improve performance/scalability… if it’s all based on vibes?! 😭 I really hope folks are just using it for fun prototyping
