It's fast enough to make running an app feel like running a native app – faster start time, less memory used, less power hungry, more responsive UI – compared to browser based cros…

What is Swift? Why Swift? A lot of discussion here touched this topic. My experience here after 10 years with Swift, starting from version 1. This is how I understood the language …

Yeah, Swift is for creating end-user products, fast iteration, fast delivery. This is where it shines. For recreational coding definitely pick something that reflects your deeper a…

Don't fight compiler. Just give it an extra definition here and there and it will give you back with blazing compilation speed. Cryptic but "sexy" statements bring suffering in lon…

Sometimes people mistake Swift for Xcode and vice versa. If compiler can't figure out type in reasonable time, give it some room to breathe by adding a clarifying type definition. …

How interesting! Xcode very rarely crashes on me. I don't know why but it seems to work 99.9% of time the way I expect it to work. Its build system makes sense to me. Of course, it…

Not my experience at all. I develop daily in Xcode and compile times are excellent. One can't really compare between TS/JS interpreted languages and machine code generation. Apples…

"Liking" is irrelevant to me. I do use it thoroughly though – I have written Linux containers (web apps) as well as native macOS and iOS apps. I am end-product creator and want my …

As a software guy I’ve been dabbling with poetry for last 2 years [1] as an extension to my code writing. I think poetry and code go together rather well, there are similarities wh…

In my experience, building user facing products requires understanding of user interaction and general human affinities. In the indie developer context, the knowledge of making the…

Exactly that. Instead of fighting belief systems, offer something that is useful for different practitioners. There is massive amount knowledge that can be made interactive and bro…

From my perspective. Firstly, know yourself. Try to identify directions of knowledge you have a natural attraction towards. This phase takes time. Use the sense of curiosity as opp…

Oh, wow, thank you! I am touched. Since the very beginning I've been using a simple Jekyll template and added some graphics to make it more interesting and appealing. Perhaps the a…

It grew organically. Initially I made the app as an experiment, just wanted to see how planets rotate and align, and what makes people interested in that. That became the foundatio…

By sticking to truth and reality. There is integrity in showing the numbers (planetary coordinates, segments of time, etc) as they are, they are real phenomenon. It’s up to the use…

There are factors of both reality and imagination in pretty much everything we do, including things like LLMs. What is considered cutting edge today may be considered sheer quacker…

As an indie developer for the last 10 years my key learning is writing apps for “under privileged” communities. Firstly, it’s a niche. Secondly, people really value your effort and…

Who's really got skin in the game? Perhaps the author who spent countless hours pushing the project along all those years, he took all the risks and uncertainties. Yes, all contrib…
