Hey #Swift folks 👋
Does anyone know how to use String Catalog with Swift Packages?
With .strings it was adding [identifier].Iproj folders but it doesn't work with .xcstrings 🤔
Product launch.
Development of Mak took me much more time than expected, so this is a soft launch. November is not the best time for spraying, only hope that it can be in handy for my Australian friends 😅
How does it do?
The key feature of Mak is virtual weather stations. Typical weather apps show weather for the cities or villages, but fields might be far away from them. So difference in wind speed or rain risk might be significant. It’s important that a farmer can place monitoring just right for his particular field. The forecast is powered by WeatherKit, and I’m planning to add local forecast providers too.
Mak analyses the weather forecast data and shows the timeline with spraying conditions – favourable (green), cautions (yellow) or not recommended (red).
In the future, I’m planning to add other operations, soil conditions, crop health and more. It’s just a start of the project, and I’m super excited 👀
What does it do?
Well, it shows weather. But in a more meaningful way. The most important thing for a farmer is not knowing the weather per se, but what to do next and when. So I decided to start with one of the most weather sensitive operations – spraying.
Why Mak?
More and more in the farming world, weather stations become a thing. And weather stations, when installed on the field, resemble me a poppy pod. Usually, they have an oval shape with anti-bird spikes on top, so weather stations in my imagination are poppy pods. And in Ukrainian, poppy pod is “Mak”.
I guess if product development is an art, then this is my artistic expression 😅
New app! Meet Mak – weather app for farmers.
Finally, my dreams are becoming (a little) true and after some months of condensed learning I can produce something really useful.
Some things about this product 🧵
Set up your virtual weather station right in your fields! Mak allows you to customise your weather monitoring, providing hyper-local data that matters most to your crops. Stay ahead of unpredictable weather changes and plan your farming activities effectively. Most of the regular weather apps show…
Calculating opacity in LazyHGrid turned out to be tricky 😅
