Highly recommend Nintype third party keyboard. Such a breath of fresh air to have a keyboard made for power users.
The project is abandoned but it still works well. I hope someone sees this and gets inspired to build something to replace it. If you do you can have my money!
Hate them so much. As an iOS eng I feel like I always end up doing 10x more work than others. But it’s also my fault for accepting invites to teams with new feature ideas. Been burned enough times now that I won’t be doing that anymore.
Product and UX focused iOS engineer and leader with ~10 years experience, 8 at A-list consumer product/app companies that are (or once were, lol) SV darlings.
Contact me if you’re looking for a mobile dev leader to help you craft a stellar product.
Don’t contact me if you’re looking for someone to micromanage and to do only what they are told <3
Comfortable in current role but ready for something new.
Remote: yes
Willing to relocate: maybe
Technologies: iOS, SwiftUI (have also done plenty of backend, node, kotlin)
Résumé/CV: contact if interested
Email: [email protected]
I guess it depends on what you classify as “advancing your career”. If you’re a software engineer, building a side project from start to finish is valuable experience that translates. It’s especially valuable experience for devs with less work experience.
That said. I’ve learned that building out a product, even seemingly small things, takes a huge amount of effort as a solo dev. I built https://fretpro.app and it makes about $100/month (has been very slowly growing for the last year). I thought it would be quick and easy, but it took months of early mornings and weekend mornings (can’t code all night like I used to anymore), and can’t lie, my health and mental health suffered during that time. I’m much more selective with side projects these days.
I love tools like these, and love writing code to help myself learn guitar as well.
I made an iOS app for memorizing notes. You play the note on your guitar and it recognizes if it’s correct. Helps build muscle memory instead of just memorization. https://fretpro.app if anyone wants to check it out :)
This is neat, but I don't think the HTML and CSS buttons are working. I'm on iPhone right now and the HTML/CSS buttons don't show the HTML or CSS. If I click one it just displays browser compatibility.... Would be cool to be able to see the source.
