🇪🇸🇲🇽 I'm looking for a few Spanish speaking F1 fans to beta test my localization for my F1 widgets app.

Looking for a quick run through of the app to point out errors or improvements I can make with the Spanish translations.

My data-driven, F1 widgets app is finally live on the App Store!

Check it out if you're an F1 fan... or you just want to see a ton of widget designs as an iOS dev.

If you enjoy it, 5 star ratings help immensely :)

App Store - apps.apple.com/app/formula-...

I'm running a small beta for my upcoming Formula One widgets app.

✉ DM me if you want to be a tester.

⭐️ I'm looking for F1 fans (for product feedback) as well as people with a good eye for UI/UX. And of course... try to break it and report bugs.

I agree. I'll create it eventually. Just think right now isn't the best time.

I've put my Swift Concurrency course on the back-burner. Not enough devs are adopting Swift 6 strict concurrency (for now) and AI has taken a bite out of the online course market. I'm not confident sales will be good enough.

🏝️🧑🏻‍💻 It's an "Indie Dev Summer" for me.

30% off sale ends tomorrow!

Ok, I saw that approach on stack overflow too. Looks like that may be the best way. Thanks!

Has anyone implemented analytics to track which widgets have been added to a user's HomeScreen?

What's the trick? I struggling to get @telemetrydeck.com to fire off signals from the WidgetExtension.

YouTube video by Sean Allen Why SwiftUI's Built-In Font is OP 🔥

The built in font in SwiftUI is surprisingly powerful and flexible. Out now on my YouTube channel is a video that shows you why the built-in font is OP.

I'm not the only iOS dev that pauses every @MKBHD video to see what apps/widgets he's using, right?

Back from a little vacation. Upgraded to ChatGPT Pro for Codex. Let's see what the future is all about.

Unfortunately, that doesn't cover CloudKit Sharing, which I believe will be needed for collaboration features.

Thanks for sharing, Dan!

This blew my mind 🤯
