Most important skill an entreprenuer needs is self-discipline to stay focused on what matters most every single day. Drifting away slowly to less important things comes naturally, but staying course amist all distractions and heading full steam requires a conscious effort.

I am opening up a private early beta for AppDesk (a native desktop app for mac). AppDesk makes it very convenient to view AppStore reviews from all countries in one place and respond to them with an AI generated response.
If you have a need of such a tool please DM me your email.

I prefer the calendar view for sure. Esp given these are time dependent items. If you want to take it one step further, within calendar view, you can have a day view that lists the items in a single column.

Playing with gradient animations for special user interaction. Here I'm animating the background & borders using gradient transitions as well as animating the text as it appears. Happy with the results so far!
#swift #buildinpublic #macos
These inline transitions feel far more delightful & nicer than presenting a modal dialog, plus these are super easy to implement in swiftUI.
This one line code is all you need:
.transition(.offset(.init(width: 0, height: -40)).combined(with: .opacity))

By far one of my favourite talks about how swiftui works under the hood and what we should know about common performance pitfalls and boosts
