@Sp4ghettiCode Congratulations!! 🥳

[Andrew Lord @lordcodes]

@SwiftyAlex @joreilly Yeah I always switch to CityMapper when I’m in London.

[Andrew Lord @lordcodes]

@alexstyl This is really good to ensure you aren’t limiting your options. There is value in building things for the audience you’ve already grown in terms of your followers, helps new things grow quicker. Guess there’s value in both.

[Andrew Lord @lordcodes]

@SlashLP89 That really sucks, fantastic game, so fluid and polished! Loved every second of it.

[Andrew Lord @lordcodes]

@freak4pc Fair enough, can’t disagree with that! Yeah likewise, I don’t know of a good alternative for this scenario.

[Andrew Lord @lordcodes]

@joreilly Very good point, interesting… I prefer that to a fully CMP UI for sure. Guess you decide based on the design you want and based on the situation. Nice to have different options!

[Andrew Lord @lordcodes]

@DonnyWals I bought your Swift Concurrency course for someone in my team. They absolutely love it!

@michael_tigas I had this the other day on iOS 18.0

[Andrew Lord @lordcodes]

@alexstyl Yeah that is exactly the conclusion I am starting to come to. Been burned too many times now.

[Andrew Lord @lordcodes]

@arkann1985 I am 😊. Not been in a couple of years, so will be good to go again.

[Andrew Lord @lordcodes]

@swift_leeds Thank you for organising another fantastic conference. It feels so unique and you can tell how much effort goes into putting it together.

[Andrew Lord @lordcodes]

@Sp4ghettiCode Will be great to see your thoughts on this! See if there’s more I could be doing.

[Andrew Lord @lordcodes]

@hamen @JorgeCastilloPr Also, AppCode was better in terms of the code editor and refactoring. You still needed Xcode for project management stuff and SwiftUI worked much better there, so I think the fact you couldn’t just use a single IDE also made many not pay for it as well.

[Andrew Lord @lordcodes]

@hamen @JorgeCastilloPr I’m not saying it has to be free to be used. I’m saying the fact it was a paid tool versus the IDE provided and talked about in all iOS dev information from Apple meant it was tough competition for AppCode and likely why not enough people discovered it.

[Andrew Lord @lordcodes]

@hamen @JorgeCastilloPr I mean that’s a difficult thing, AppCode was great but it wasn’t free but Xcode is so always going to be a tough sell for many people.

[Andrew Lord @lordcodes]

@JorgeCastilloPr @joreilly Not a huge amount. I’ve seen a few mentions. I mean it’s Kotlin so the push is going to tend towards the Android side I guess.
