Sign language interpreter in Singapore 🇸🇬
Couldn’t find the right tool for interpreters, so I made @SignPrepApp
He/him 🏳️‍🌈

So I accidentally became an indie app developer? @SignPrepApp is live on the App Store.

Built for sign language interpreters — by one who got tired of wrangling multiple calendars, countless open tabs and messy notes. 😵‍💫

Also, it’s so weird having to negotiate with AI since it has the power to set the subscription pricing. At some point, I think I was begging a computer 😭💀

@Barbapapapps @DylanMcD8 But I wanted to only show the hours and minutes, I had to use a remainingTimeText(until:) helper to show “1h 31m”. It fixed the width expansion bug, but the trade-off is that it only updates when the system refreshes the Live Activity view (every few minutes), not every second.

[Daniel Yong @dnlyong]

@Barbapapapps @DylanMcD8 It’s so annoying.
There’s a known SwiftUI bug that Text(date, style: .timer) expands to fill all available width instead of taking only the space it needs, which screws up the Dynamic Island compact trailing region. I had to use hidden text and an overlay to workaround it.

@LeakerApple 🙏🙏😭❤️

@ReddCinema It’s @joelycett’s “gloryhole in a glass door” joke idea come to reality 😂

[Daniel Yong @dnlyong]

@VerdeSelvans The way I would wipe that bin out 😵‍💫

[Daniel Yong @dnlyong]

@ParkerOrtolani Same here. I also use scheduled prompts. One of the use cases is I have it acting as a chief of staff, giving me daily briefings of my day and tasks. Super useful.

[Daniel Yong @dnlyong]

If you’re wondering how much the replacement of the Apple Crossbody Strap connectors are, it’s about 9-10 USD. You have to make a service appointment at the Genius Bar for it.

[Daniel Yong @dnlyong]

@ParkerOrtolani Agreed, I ordered it the moment it was released. It looks so good 😍
