Waiting For Review

Dave has finally released GoVJ 2.0 to the world

Life interrupted the release of this episode - but better late than never ! Originally recorded in early June. Packed with all the things: * Our favourite items from WWDC22! * Daniel is back on a Magic Keyboard after his clackety diversion! * Dave is preparing GoVJ for App Store release! * Daniel is moving TelemetryDeck to Containerization! * Dave swearing!

Daniel has destroyed his keyboard and is exploring the world of clackety key caps with lots of options. Meanwhile, Dave is resting and recovering and is banned from the use of his Mac, so of course, he's fallen into Mastodon and the Fediverse. Ideas for apps are of course front of his mind. Enjoy the show, Dave ✨ and Daniel

A wide ranging episode this time, including: How we're using Async/Await in our apps. Dave aspires to find an excuse for server side Swift (and Daniel offers to help) Dave is adding in-app purchases and subscriptions to his app GoVJ Daniel shows off TelemetryDeck's live signal stats

We catch up on Daniel's ProductHunt debut of TelemetryDeck (https://telemetrydeck.com/?source=wfr). Dave inches closer to releasing GoVJ 2 as he uses some time off from his day-job to bug-fix, and clean things up. We discuss automated testing. Daniel quizzes Dave on how he approaches automated testing in his day-job vs his solo indie app endeavours. How much is too much for a solo developer? What's a good depth of testing for different sizes of project and team? Enjoy the show, Dave ✨ and Daniel

Daniel launches TelemetryDeck (https://telemetrydeck.com/?source=wfr) on ProductHunt, learning lessons along the away

Dave has hit a mental block with "Project Magnum", with a lagging ARView, and may be focusing on his app GoVJ 2 in the meantime. Daniel has created a queuing system for his server-side Swift backend for TelemetryDeck, that enables him to give much better performance to his users. We hit on how slicing features into smaller chunks to ship can give our users more, instead of waiting for things to be "perfect" ! Enjoy the show, David ✨ and Daniel

Daniel and David are joined by Australian special guest Will Bishop. Will is the developer of the cooking and recipes app, Pestle, along with Chirp for Twitter, Nano for Reddit, and MiniWiki. Will is currently on the road in Australia, travelling by van. He takes time out to catch up with us and tell us all about his apps, lifestyle, and developer journey. Enjoy the show, Daniel

On this week's show, Daniel shares a cautionary tale from his week of development. Dave has some adventures with WebRTC and the prototype of his super-secret-project ("Magnum"!). We round up the show discussing how we're using Swift's new Async / Await features in our respective projects. Enjoy the show, Daniel
