Indie iOS developer in London, UK. Creator of @personalbest and some other apps 🏳️🌈
Another new animation I've been working on. I wanted a way to visualise the idea of PB reading your data from other apps and then turning them into data. I'd have preferred to use the real app icons but it feels legally shaky, so I went with a 'packages' metaphor
It's very 'work in progress', but it's to go in PB's new onboarding flow, where after getting healthkit access it shows the app getting your workouts and crunching them, leading to an 'aha moment' on the next screen that uses your real data
I think my favourite thing in all of software development is spending hours on a fun animation to get it feeling JUST RIGHT. It's so fun
@johnvoorhees I think this thing is gonna sell like hotcakes. I saw a bunch of people buying them at the store yesterday. Even my dad who's always been an iMac + iPad person is considering one, and he's never had a laptop before
@gruber that's great to hear! Part of me wonders if I should have just got a new battery for mine, although I'm coding on my new M5 Pro now and the speed increase on Xcode previews feels worth every penny right now. And it's not even slightly warm!
I got an M5 Pro MacBook Pro today – upgraded from an M1 Pro with a severely degraded battery. It's SO FAST! Personal Best builds almost 3x faster!
