Day 3: Fly, you fools
Wednesday, July 16, 2025
Today is a travel day for me, so I didn’t expect to get a whole lot done on the app. To my surprise, though, I was able to quickly hammer out the app’s settings view. I really want this app to fit into each customer’s workflow so that using the app doesn’t have a ton of friction. The whole point is to allow you to get in and out of the app as fast as possible, with most of the value of the app coming from customized notifications.
I’m enabling a lot of default customization so that the large majority of the app can be tweaked. I use and have tried so many apps, especially productivity apps, where I just want to make a small change to the creation of, say, a note, but the app has almost no settings options. And thankfully, with the help of SwiftUI and the AppStorage property wrapper, adding settings is incredibly easy.
While I didn’t move the needle a ton on the app today, I’m glad I was able to get some portion of it worked on and can keep up my streak of working on it daily.
