Waiting For Review

Dave Nott is struggling to find a groove with indie app development. We discuss ways he can get new ideas going, minimum viable products, and splitting projects up to get user feedback sooner rather than later.

Dave Wood has been on an adventure, working out how to architect a new project in SwiftUI. Dave Nott has many questions ...

The great wait is over. Dave Nott has his 16" MacBook, and strangely, has been spending rather a lot of time with it booted into Windows.

Dave Nott has been off on a side quest these last few weeks. We discuss what he's been up to, and how easy it is to fall down a rabbit hole. Shiny things are fun, but what are the effects on your focus and other projects?

After months of waiting, and a further two weeks of agonising over specs, Dave Nott has finally ordered the 16" MacBook Pro. We talk about Dave's build to order choices, and his reasonings, which got us to thinking about where things might be going for the Mac... Join us for some Mac and Mac App store discussion. * Waiting For Review (https://twitter.com/wfrpodcast) Dave Nott (https://twitter.com/_davenott) Dave Wood (https://twitter.com/davidgarywood) Music by Broke For Free (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Broke_For_Free/Something_EP/Broke_For_Free-Something_EP-_05_Something_Elated) License, CC Attribution 3 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/)

This week we're joined by previous guest Charlie Chapman. After he and Dave Nott spent weeks campaigning for the machine, it only seemed right we have Charlie back on the show to discuss this wonderful new machine. Waiting For Review is a podcast from Dave Nott, and Dave Wood. To join our podcast's slack channel, drop us a message on twitter at Waiting For Review (https://twitter.com/wfrpodcast).

In anticipation of this week's 16" MBP announcement we fall into a discussion of hardware and some end of year purchases. From monitors and iPads with brydge keyboards, to Apple Watches and refurb options. Meanwhile, Dave Wood is eying up an Apple Watch series 3, with a view of bringing a small app to life.

Dave Wood explains the new screenshot automation process for his video mixing app, GoVJ. Meanwhile Dave Nott's 2010 MacBook Pro continues to disintegrate before his eyes, almost as if it knows he's waiting for something new.

What do our desktop setups and configurations look like? One of us is thinking ahead for a new MacBook Pro... Meanwhile, Dave Nott has accidentally fallen into making a Mac app, thanks to Catalyst. Side by side with AppKit and UIKit rendered versions of the same app, Dave wonders what makes a Mac app?

A single leaked image about the 16" and we're straight into reading the tea leaves for the new MacBook Pro. It's not quite looking like the machine Dave Nott has pined for, but the predictions are still fuzzy as we record. Dave Nott has a wobble with his indie development plans and is second guessing which project he should pick up with the time he has. We get into approaches for getting an idea of the scale of a project, cutting scope and planning features in an order that lets shipping happen sooner.

macOS Catalina is here, which means Catalyst (formerly known as Marzipan) is here! We discuss Catalyst, what it means for the platform and how it may impact how we build apps.

We're joined by our good friend Daryl Baxter. A writer and podcaster who covers gaming with a vintage lens, iPad, and Apple. We catch up and chat about Apple Arcade, iPad OS and what might be coming from Apple this October.

While Dave Nott awaits announcements of new Macbook Pro hardware, he's getting deeper into his Raspberry Pi. His commandline expertise is increasing, and this will only pay him back when he's back on the tools for his upcoming iOS app. Meanwhile, Dave Wood is getting back into marketing mode, putting together a new landing page for version 2.0 of his app GoVJ.

Dave Nott doesn't like iOS 13's Dark Mode, and tries to figure out some technical challenges with the new app he's developing. We troubleshoot live on the show and explore the options. Meanwhile Dave Wood is looking at ways of increasing his revenue from his existing apps, without spending lots of time on new features.

In a special episode, our guests are Heidi and Ish, creators of Capsicum App and more. Capsicum is a beautiful daily planner app, chock full of features and a unique design. Heidi and Ish were previously on the show over 2 years ago, when their app was still in it's early stages of development. We welcome them back to the show to talk about their launch experiences, the highs and lows of seeing massive public interest on day one, and where they're taking it next.

The Apple September 2019 hardware event arrived like an early Christmas! New phones, iPads, watches and more

We return, fresh from our summer/winter break, with a brand new season! This week we have a very special guest on the show, Charlie Chapman, developer of the app Dark Noise. Charlie has had an amazing launch and start for his app. We dig into how he developed Dark Noise, and his experiences of releasing the app and gaining great success with his launch. Waiting For Review is a podcast from Dave Nott, and Dave Wood. To join our podcast's slack channel, drop us a message on twitter at Waiting For Review (https://twitter.com/wfrpodcast).

Dave Nott installs Catalina on his unsupported Mac to dig into Xcode 11 and Swift UI... Meanwhile we've a bit of an announcement to make. We're taking a short break across the summer (in the Northern hemisphere at least!), and will be back in a few weeks with Season 2 of the show. Until then, you can reach us at our Slack channel, and catch up with us on Twitter. We'd like to give a huge thanks to all listeners of the show, and we'll be back with you soon! www.waitingforreview.com @davenott @davidgarywood Music by Broke For Free Attribution 3.0 United States (CC BY 3.0 US)

After realising we have little to no plan for this weeks show, we handily remember that we got new MacBooks last week - phew! We discuss the new 13" MacBook Pro, the rather interesting 1.4Ghz CPU that sits within it and reflect a little on the 12" MacBook.

We start the show with discussion of random videos online and deep fakes, before getting into the process of rebooting development on an indie app. Dave Nott's scheduled return to indie development later this year leads us to wondering, what might an ideal indie balance be like, and might full-time, actually be a bad thing?
