MandarisI’m working on the second part of the tutorial.
The autocorrect is much nicer when it is filling out items from data structures that I’ve created, but I’m still having trouble with some of the longer method signatures. I took a moment to look up a tutorial online and I think tomorrow will be much better.
Started iOS App Dev with SwiftUI Tutorials.
I know it’s my X numbered attempt to learn swift, and I gave myself so many deadlines/goals. I thought that this time would just be me attempting to learn enough to finish an app that has been haunting me for years.
I hope that by writing about my experience in the open that it will help me move forward.
I decided to set a small goal of finishing up the first steps of the tutorial
The preview in Xcode is really slow when you first start it. Some of the keyboard short cuts feel really awkward and Command clicking keywords sometime doesn’t work. This could just be me hitting ctrl on accident. The first part is supposed to take 15 minutes but I’m 25 minutes already.
I love the fact that the first thing you do after setting up the initial view is to provide accessibility.

I made this post with MarsEdit.
The Forest app has upped their game for the holidays.
Well, this is a little unsettling.
There are now businesses that sell fake people. On the website Generated.Photos, you can buy a “unique, worry-free” fake person for $2.99, or 1,000 people for $1,000.
Sometimes you have to use what tools you have to use what tools are available to you. #bulletjournal
I spent some time removing things from my todo list. I actually started to tear up a little. It’s really hard to let some things go but I have to be honest with myself. Seeing the list of things that I wasn’t doing made things worse than if I never thought about doing it.
I spent the first 4 hours of my day in my own mind. Did I find anything? I hope so.
Ok, we’ll adopt you.
One thing that I like about Micro.blog is that it’s breaking me from the habit of looking at all the people I’m following to see if they are following me.

I’m walking away perfectly happy with the year I spent with it.
I understand where he is coming from. I think I’ll be sticking with it over moving to purchasing or upgrading various applications. A set monthly cost helps with budgeting.
