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!

🚀 It's launch day!

Happy New Years friends!

Pssst fellow indie iOS devs, if you've still got promo codes in App Store Connect now might be a good time to generate them 😉

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 feel so seen

Couldn't pass up the opportunity for a play on the @chroniclingapp.com app name... 2024 Chronicled coming soon

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 👏

Made an account for @trybarcodes.com a couple of days ago if it could be she’d please! 😊

all products are taste tested as part of QA before they leave the factory

I really like mine so far, the v4 is much comfier I reckon!

How do you tell that the storage is full? Is that a specific error?

I've had users with iCloud sync issues I've not been able to pin down, maybe this is why haha

huge, love this for you and honestly for them too

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 😂

Last few hours before we select the winners for the giveaway!

Friendly reminder that the only annual sale for Barcodes Unlimited ends very soon!

Upgrade for 50% off with the Black Friday sale, until the end of Monday the 2nd

Highlights:
- Scan and store all your cards
- Privacy first, no account just iCloud
- Apple Wallet, Apple Watch & Home Screen widgets!

Is it too late for me and @trybarcodes.com to get added? If so I get it haha, didn't nail the timing

I've held off designating one option as the main prize, because honestly both should bring similar hours of enjoyment

Lazy vars in @Observable classes in Swift Learn how to resolve the issue of using lazy variables in @Observable classes by annotating them with @ObservationIgnored.

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...

nice, what speakers? I'm tossing up some headphones but have too many already haha

I'm about to add TipKit and might have missed this, thanks for the pointer! Don't know if it would have occurred to me

Excited to share the very first peek at my upcoming app.

ooh love the aesthetic

Hey! 👋

Looks like y'all had a blast! Jealous I couldn't be there, hope I can make it next year 😍

5 star app review for Barcodes, saying "I have been using Stocard for many years and with them closing I started to look around. I love developers that are detailed and passionate about their apps and this guy/gal is the tops! Reminds me of the Apollo developer. Well awesome app and I became a lifetime user as well a excellent deal for a well thought out product application"

Aw shucks this guy/gal is extremely flattered

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

sadly, no

at least not for me haha
