A major part of my CLAUDE md file is always all of @alexozun.com’s teachings on Type-Driven Design in Swift. It remains, to this day, the most powerful Swift content I’ve ever read. Your agents will output MUCH better code with it. swiftology.io/collections/...

Getting married? (Or someone you know is?) Now it’s easier than ever to gather names & addresses for invites. Do this: 1. Download PopTap on your iPhone or iPad 2. Tap a ready-made form 3. Share its link 4. Watch replies roll in 5. Export if you want poptap.app

Insights & charts exported directly from the @poptapapp.bsky.social iOS app. Not very many replies. Interesting nonetheless!

Why are you monkeying around with other survey apps when you could be basking in the warmth of rich native features in PopTap? For example, the latest version gives you MUCH smarter insights to your collected replies, all on device.💡 Fist bump? 🤜🏼🤛🏽

Working on our next game, and it’s so much fun! Getting the graphics all tuned the way we want them, and then we’ll submit for review!

Introducing: Night Blocks 🌌 Because sometimes you need a game you can play in the dark without lighting up the entire bedroom or entire airplane cabin. Download and play today for free: apps.apple.com/us/app/id676...

This use-case was what sparked the idea of PopTap in my brain. My niece posted on Insta asking people to comment with their addresses, and the flood of comments over the next few days was unorganized and of course couldn’t be exported or anything. PopTap solves that like a champ.

Need to gather addresses to send out announcements or invitations? Send out a PopTap link or QR code. That way, you’ll get every single reply organized & searchable right on your phone, and ready to export. It works like magic. You’ll love it! apple.co/4tR6MtI

For teachers/professors, providing a QR code/link for students to anonymously interact with the lesson is invaluable. This anonymity eliminates the students’ participation anxiety and increases morale. That’s [part of] PopTap’s magic. Try it yourself. poptap.app/press

We decided to put an animated mesh gradient behind the game board in Bright Blocks, and we think it turned out fun! What do you think? Bright Blocks is free on the App Store: apps.apple.com/us/app/id676...

My wife & I launched an app! 🎉 It’s a family-friendly, fun block-clearing game, called Bright Blocks. It’s loads of fun on iPad & iPhone alike. And it’s an ideal car/airplane game too, with no internet required. Get it free on the App Store! 😃 apps.apple.com/us/app/id676...

"What size t-shirt does everyone need?" You could ask this in a group text or Slack (or some other form) and then scroll through dozens or hundreds of replies. OR you could send a PopTap link and have every answer instantly organized on your phone, ready to export. It’s easy!

Asking for everyone’s input in a group text? Before you know it, Cristy's answers are scattered across 47 messages, and Thomas even edited his reply, twice. PopTap notifies you & keeps every reply organized, searchable, and exportable. On your phone. apps.apple.com/app/id676119...

I’m interested to see the results of this single-question poll. Replies are anonymous. I’ll share the results if you’re interested! poptap.app/r/82C181F9-E...

New in PopTap: pick a random “winner” from your replies. Giveaways, raffles, random selections, who’s bringing dessert. Draw a name from a hat. One tap.

No accounts. No logins. No tracking. No ads. Just forms that work. poptap.app

If you’re giving a conference talk, you should try this out! It’s a really fun way to engage with the audience while you’re on stage and their anonymous replies show on the big screen in real time. 🎉

✅ App approved, waiting developer release - finalizing press graphics and screenshots - still need to figure out how to reach out to press

Deployed servers to prod, working on the press page, App Store review status ‘waiting for review’ (manual release), testing, and still need to craft good screenshots for the public release and reach out to press. Excited to bring this to life for you all! 🎉

Hi! I’m planning a big launch of a project I’ve been working on for a while. I’ve never done all the things like Product Hunt, or had other places cover the launch. If you are willing, please DM me with any tips and advice and guidance. 🙏🏽 Yes, I can ask AI, but I need humans. 🩷

I have empathy for all the employees at Apple handling the unprecedented influx of app submissions to review, the account updates to handle, etc... I have an honest question now: is it really the influx that's causing the really long delays in anything account/app review related?

Dat so cute!

Please send any tips or recommendations about making an isometric layout game for iOS. My wife and I are making one together, along with Claude in Xcode, but it’s harder to supervise Claude when I don’t have any experience in game dev. Appreciate the help! I’m ALL ears!👂🏼🤗

How’s your day today with the AWS outage? 🙃 When AWS is down, the digital world halts haha

To the macOS team at Apple: Please put the volume/sound UI thing back in the middle of the screen and with clear level segments. Having to look up to the right corner of the screen when adjusting volume does not feel good. This is me begging sort of. 🙏🏽 Thank yew.

👋🏼 Friendly reminder to Clean (Xcode’s) Dirty Diaper if things are behaving unexpectedly during development. (Also known as Clear Derived Data.) It’s a quick wipe, and nobody wants to take the time to do it, *butt* it’s necessary. Thank yew 🙂

In a SwiftUI app, if you were tasked with building an infinite video feed (like TikTok, YT shorts, etc), what would you use to do it? IGListKit, or roll your own in UIKit (*representable), or something else? Or is there a good SwiftUI implementation? (No haters pls)

The most impactful Swift content I’ve ever consumed is authored by @alexozun.com Please visit his site, swiftology.io and read/watch everything. It has completely changed the way I approach writing Swift. You too will be better off after learning from Alex!

Xcode Folders for the win! 🤩 Check out my diff from converting from Groups to Folders!

If anyone can replicate the absolutely flawless camera/video shutter button in TikTok, I applaud you and please let me know if you that’s you! In particular, it somehow flawlessly handles single tap and long press gestures with zero delays. Incredible. 🤩
