@tjohnson009 Still feels like a very rare occurrence but yeah maybe a positive sign

[Jonathan Waddell @Healer2Hacker]

Haven't posted in a bit, been getting some interviews so been doing interview prep

Able to solve isPalindrome with a stack today

Day 4 of building my productivity app

✅improved UI/UX, improved code readability with graphs and charts

up next is implementing lock screen support and a widget

[Jonathan Waddell @Healer2Hacker]

Day 3 building my productivity app:

✅ Weekly graphs for each counter item
✅ Visual progress over time

This was one of the biggest features for my app, so I’m excited it’s working

Next up:
--Lock screen support
--Widget
--Better UI

Day 2 of building my productivity app

✅ Swipe to delete counters
✅ Cleaner UI + improved code readability
✅ Edit counter name & count value
✅ Reset counts with one tap

[Jonathan Waddell @Healer2Hacker]

Day 1 building my Productivity App

✅ Built a form to save counter items to SwiftDatabase
✅ Added buttons to increment/decrement the count

Starting a new iOS app today

I’ve been looking for a simple productivity app that does one thing well: counting

How many times you check your phone, workouts per week, drink water—whatever you track. The apps I’ve tried don’t have the functionality I want, so building my own

Made a new TikTok ad for PracticePro Volleyball 3.0!

Making money with an iOS app is 10% coding and 90% marketing

[Jonathan Waddell @Healer2Hacker]

Just added an AI feature to my iOS app, Practice Pro Volleyball

Now volleyball coaches with a few clicks can create a curated practice plan, with drills from real coaches in our drill library

Day 7 of #100DaysOfSwiftUI

✅Checkpoint 8 complete!

Getting near the end, getting close to feeling ready to build my iOS app

[Jonathan Waddell @Healer2Hacker]

@refSandie Yes! Really enjoying that so far

[Jonathan Waddell @Healer2Hacker]

Day 6 of #100DaysOfSwiftUI

✅Checkpoint 7 complete

Today I learned about classes and inheritance in Swift. Lots of similarities to JavaScript classes so felt easier than the previous days

[Jonathan Waddell @Healer2Hacker]

@afterxleep Same, the extra work of maintaining Android as well as iOS isn't worth it for me yet

[Jonathan Waddell @Healer2Hacker]

@porobertdev Yes a lot of the language looks very nice! Pretty similar to python

[Jonathan Waddell @Healer2Hacker]

Day 5 of #100DaysOfSwiftUI

✅Checkpoint 6 completed!

Today was digging into the real interesting parts of Swift, structs and classes, feel like I'm learning the tools to build real software now

@adahstwt laptop, I can code on the couch it's so nice

[Jonathan Waddell @Healer2Hacker]

@julesvcode nice! good luck

[Jonathan Waddell @Healer2Hacker]

@porobertdev I know it looks so weird

No I’m planning to build a new app, and it needs a lot of native code so figured I’d build it in Swift

[Jonathan Waddell @Healer2Hacker]

Day 4 of #100DaysOfSwiftUI

✅Checkpoint 5 complete!

The hardest part is still the syntax friction, definitely some frustration figuring out the syntax today. In JavaScript this would've taken 30 seconds, but at least an hour in Swift😅

[Jonathan Waddell @Healer2Hacker]

@alexcooldev Cursor here! Haven't even tried Claude Code hopefully not missing much..
