It’s time for me to get back on the horse.

Back to scheduled coding nights.
And hell, let’s throw getting a new job into the mix.

Here’s a lil sneak preview of what I’ve been working on recently. I’ll be picking it up again later this year, but the design is really coming along. With thanks to @particleswe.bsky.social who’s been working on the Core Data ✌️.

No longer at the company I founded.
Barely writing code these days.
I’m totally in my “Steve Jobs Gardening” era.
I’m going to embrace this for a while. Find inner peace or something, new meanings.
Maybe I’ll return full time one day. Come back stronger. Maybe I won’t. Guess we’ll find out.

Me looking at my case collection knowing if I put one on, it’s going to demolish the new skin I put on this phone…
I’m too indecisive to have something as permanent as a phone skin. They should make them somehow reusable 😅.

Was just holding the iPhone 7 Plus and it’s got me so much more excited for the 17 Air. How they managed to pack so much in such a thin device is insane. Looks and feels so sleek. Let’s get thin devices back!

This is the perfect opportunity for Elon to bring back Vine, is it not? I’m surprised he hasn’t.

My MacBook Air is so slow sometimes. It’s an M1 and has been great for a long time, but recently, it’s become a real pain for Xcode. Most of my time is spent waiting for previews, or the editor or cache symbols.
Had some time tonight to code but, my Mac had other ideas 🙄.

I’ve always wondered about “FindMy etiquette”… do people have all their family and friends on the app? What’s the norm? I have friends a family, some people have none, some people have more. What’s the average usage, the social norm?

Spending a lot of time on design. Colour schemes, buttons, shapes and elements. It’s funny how something that’s designed to look so simple, can be quite challenging behind the scenes.
Will be worth it though!

As the year draws to a close, my time to code starts to fade, with family and friends visiting for the festive period.
If I have a free day, I’ll do what I can, for now, it’s time for lots of food, company, and enjoying the time off!
I hear Marvel Rivals is free! Time to dust off the console!

I always loved the simplicity of this iOS8 wallpaper (Dark mode modified).
Something about was always so calming.
Some question why I have a leaf as my background occasionally. I suppose without further thought, it is a little odd but, it seems very soothing to me. Very, dare I say, “Demure”.

Back onto design tonight! ContentView complete, with the exception of a UI bug on iPad…onto the first view!
That means iPad, Apple Pencil and FreeForm time! Get some mockups sorted.
Spending my time on this one, have to get the UI/UX looking and working great.

My brain is mush today, but, I managed to work on the design some more for BeBe.
Geometry Reader to make it look great across devices can take a while to get down, but it’s so useful.
Few bugs with layout to sort but looking good so far I think.
Onwards! (After sleep)

Next weeks plan is in the bag. Some buttons to work on, some image assets to design and import, some sound to record and the sound UI to create too!
Slowly but surely.
Here’s to a good week everyone!🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

The cat woke me up at 6am today, took it as a sign, did the most work I’ve done in weeks on the app early this morning. Design is looking great! Thanks cat.

Does anyone else code with an M1 MacBook Air, and find that the majority of their time is spent waiting for the preview to load?
Next one will be a pro. Didn’t have the dollar at the time.
