No worries!

On the notarised stuff, I think its worth it even if installed outside of the store because it ends up looking way more professional and removes friction for the security conscious :)

I think for 15% you might need to apply for the small business program (and be <$1 million revenue): developer.apple.com/app-store…

Otherwise it is 30% commission ☠️ AFAIK

One other perk of the developer membership that is less know / useful – code level support via DTS (developer technical support) team

wow, thanks for sharing!

I've done this – but I used the graphQL api that is being deprecated and I'll need to replace it.

I love having widgets, mine just revalidates on a daily basis (when someone load the site):

https://api.wip.co/v1/users/me.json?api_key=wip_sk_FOOBAR

response["streak"]

Replace wip_sk_FOOBAR with an API key from wip.co/my/api_keys

You'll also want to keep an eye on the Vercel functions Max duration which on the Hobby plan is 10s and even if you upgrade I think you'll need to specify if you want longer:

vercel.com/docs/functions/run…

I ran into this a ton when running longer AI tasks / calling out to external serviced and had to create a webhook system πŸ™ƒ

Ahh yeah the JSON view? on the url: makeprogress.app/updates/<id>

That's just the update page I never built out!

I believe so yes. Just sent you a screenshot on email.

Yeah super cool, I built makeprogress.app and had a tiny wins app on the backburner and love the process of on a monthly basis checking up on my wins, sharing them and encouraging others to do the same!

I just tried your app.. LOVE it! So neat the idea of specificying a KPI at the start of a goal. That's neat. Feature request: allow me to setup multiple KPIs (small wins) for every goal

Bug? When I update a progress item and click update, I see code

Ohh I'll take a look, not actively worked on the app in quite a while 😱

Ahh yeah I just pulled that list from some of my mentoring work, I did think of a Swift specific resource that might be good though: learnxinyminutes.com/docs/swi… this site helps you pick up new languages quickly with a single file from simple to complex concepts including language feature πŸš€

I don't check X messages so much / get quite a bit of spam – I've got telegram on my profile might be better!

I do iOS / Swift development πŸ“± – can't think of a bootcamp!

I recommend breaking up your learning into areas:
- Programming (core concepts e.g functions, loops, if else...)
- Language (specific features e.g struct in Swift...)
- Framework (the tools built on top e.g SwiftUI for iOS apps...)
- App Development (process of joining the parts, e.g architectures...)

I've collected some resources here (lil old but still relevant):
mattspear.co/resources/ios

Would highlight:
- Stanford iOS Course
- A Best-in-Class iOS App by Jordan Morgan
- 100 days of Swift / Swift UI
- Apple's Introducing SwiftUI tutorial

Would be great to hear how you get on, which route you take to learn!

Feel free to drop me a message if you run into any problems πŸš€

Amazing! Thanks Matt! Will have a look. Functions, loops is no problem for me. I have done plenty of PHP stuff over the years and been "hacking" since the 90's. Swift is new though. Whats the best way to DM you if I have questions? X?

Ha! Well would you look at that mattspear.co/blog/wins. Love what you wrote Matt. Thats what I'm working on: littlewinsapp.com.
