Techopolis Online Solutions

Have you tried the new website for Techopolis Online Solutions yet? You can see what apps we've made and check out our services and courses there. Check it out at techopolisonline.com. Let me know what you think.

I have become a huge fan of Google classroom. I’m in the process of moving all of my developer courses over there. The app is even very nice.

Has anyone built an iOS widget that can show stats for either Bluesky or Mastodon? I think this kind of info would be perfect for a widget. It would be awesome to see your follower count, following count, and number of posts in one place.

Would you say that your favorite platform is here or Mastodon? I'm starting to really like the community feel of Bluesky for finding new people to talk and discuss topics with.

I'm not going to spoil the episode, but the season finale of Doctor Who was amazing. I feel like these last two seasons have not been my favorite, but it is still a great show.

There are some great and amazing resources for Swift here on Bluesky, and I'm going to do a full SwiftUI course later this year. I did one last year and just moved it over to Google Classroom if you want to go through it. You can find it at classroom.google.com/c/NzQ1NzA4Nz...

I woke up early this morning to watch Doctor Who and found out that it will come out later today. I almost went back to sleep but that didn't happen. I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

I am really excited to see such a large Swift developer community over here. I ave been writing Swift since Swift came out, and haven't really found a big community until now. I've written code in many languages and for several platforms, but Apple app development will always be my favorite.

That is fantastic. Is there any starter packs?

Just curious. Do we have any Swift Language fans over here on Bluesky?

What do you wish iOS could do that Android does, and what do you wish Android could do that iOS does?

I know everyone is probably getting tired of hearing about AI, but I think it really is the next big thing in Tech. I am always looking for ways to use AI that I haven't thought of before, and that on its own is a new form of creativity.

AI is great, but it is starting to be time for AI to do work for us in the background. I think it is now time for agents to do work for everyone. I'm really looking in to how to do more with AI agents to help me automate tasks.

So I know that vibe coding is all the rage right now, and it is very useful, but it isn't the be all end all coding solution yet. You can use it to get started, but always review your code, and know what it does.

Should I consider creating a new account for my business over here on Bluesky?

I always mean to post here more and forget it exists. I need to post here on Bluesky more.

So I really love to code, but you know what I really enjoy more? I really enjoy teaching others to code, and seeing them get that they really can make something amazing!

So I just watched Joy To The World, the latest Doctor Who holiday episode, and it was amazing. I think it was my favorite episode of the year. I can't wait for season 2.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone.

So it looks like I may use auth0 to provide a login solution for my apps to connect to WordPress. I wonder if others use this, or if there is a better solution for this.

Something that isn't talked about much at all is Visual Intelligence on the iPhone 16 lineup. What are people's thoughts, and do you use it?

I hope everyone enjoys the new x.2 updates from Apple! We've gotten some really cool stuff this time. Can't wait for .3.

Quick PSA for blind and low vision Bluesky users. Make sue you are uploading your profile picture to the correct image location. There are two. One is for the banner, and one is for your profile pic. I've seen a lot of users add their profile pic to the banner location.

So Bluesky really needs an iPad version of the app. Skeets is by far the best client right now for iPadOS.

Techopolis Online Solutions is now on Bluesky! We look forward to engaging with everyone here, and let's keep building community through technology!
