I’ve been having a lot of health problems recently which make it difficult to do development work, on both client or personal apps. My last client who provided occasional work has just dropped me. I can’t really take on any big client work due to my health. I am screwed unless I can sell a lot more of my own apps. Can you help me? And boost this thread?

I will reply to this post with links to some of my apps that I think some people might find useful. iOS developers should love some of them.

SF Menu Bar brings Adaptivity’s best-in-class #sfsymbols browser to the Mac menu bar. It has slightly fewer features. It cannot show alignment/baseline information and there’s no availability annotations (although that is available from a tooltip and context menu). It’s designed for quickly searching and copying the name or unicode symbol for an image to the clipboard. #iosdev #indiedev

These few posts demonstrate why I think the search algorithm in SF Menu Bar (and Adaptivity) is so much more useful than the one used by the symbol library built into Xcode. It makes finding the symbol you want so much easier if you don’t get lots of matches for seemingly unrelated names. https://iosdev.space/@geoffhackworth/109885696057963358

Attached: 1 image Xcode has had a way to search #sfsymbols for a while now. It's one of the tabs in the Library (access from the + in the top right or cmd-shift-L). It has a *very* loose matching algorithm based on simple string containment. I think this makes it hard to use. Not only does it match on the symbol name, it matches on semantic tags. If I search for "z" I get lots of matches, including "poweroutlet.type.e.fill". Why? Because the letter "z" is in one of the semantic tags ("czechia")!

@geoffhackworth I didn’t realize that you had a Menu Bar app for these too. I am buying that the next time I sit down at my Mac 👍
@ross Many thanks Ross. I find it a really great way to find symbols and copy their names quickly. Hope you will too!
