🇪🇸🇲🇽 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.

DMs open

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!

Swift News is back after a short hiatus. New episode out now.

My #WWDC25 sale is now live. 30% off all my iOS Dev courses.

🚨 Dub Dub Grub and my Widgets course will no longer be available for sale after WWDC (or free later). I'm restructuring my offerings and cleaning house. Get them while you can.

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 🤯

Loving my new lock screen aesthetic.

The App Store just got cracked open.

In today’s video, I discuss how devs can bypass Apple’s 30% cut with external checkout links.

Thanks to @revenuecat.com for sponsoring. They shipped a Web Paywall Button on day one so you can test it out now.

YouTube video by Sean Allen Stop Creating Custom Colors in SwiftUI

Today's video is about why you should stop using custom colors in SwiftUI (if you can) and how you can get the most out of the built in colors with a bunch of modifiers.
