Day 12/13/14: Onward
Sunday, July 27, 2025
Skipped a day of actual coding recently, but I’ve been constantly thinking about the last big item I have before I can share the Beta. But thankfully, that added time sort of let me refocus my efforts and trim down what I was trying to do. This really helped me make big progress directly towards the finish line all within about a days worth of work. Which means thankfully I can start to share a TestFlight build to my close friends first before posting one to some of my socials to collect feedback.
I also made a small change to swap back to my MacBook Air as my primary developer machine. I was using my 16in Pro since it has so much more RAM than my Air that it usually runs Xcode much quicker without burning through my battery. The only problem is that the Pro is so heavy and so awkward to balance on my lap that it caused me not to reach for it when I had a spare moment or two over the past few days. Swapping has really helped me stay back on task and squeeze in as much development as I can.
Since I’m getting closer to submitting, I finally took most of the afternoon to build the marketing site for the app. I host my main site on Micro.blog’s premium plan, which lets me host an unlimited amount of single-page style websites on my main account. This is great since I can quickly build a mostly static site and not have to pay anything extra, and get to have it under its own domain.
Today was a lot of work, more so than most days, and I’m honestly surprised how much progress I was able to make across the board. Mount Doom is well within view at this point.
