✈️ Introducing β€œsimmer”

I wanted to do native iOS dev on my Mac mini at home from a plane but still SEE and INTERACT with my app

So I built this while on the plane πŸ˜…

β€’ iOS + Android sims in your browser
β€’ Built-in terminal access
β€’ Designed for high latency workflows

The main thing I cared about was making simulators feel OKAY remotely πŸ˜…

I love being in a terminal and working from iPad and… now I feel like I have a decent end-to-end workflow for it πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

In case you missed it (or even if you didn't), I made Guild Ads even easier to implement by having robots do it. You can go from not having an account to shipping a publisher app or placing an ad all from your agent of choice.

πŸ“’ Introducing the absolute easiest way to get started with Guild Ads (as an advertiser, as a publisher, or both!)

Have your coding agent set it up with our plugin + the super powerful CLI. Take a look!

πŸš€ Today I am releasing JCState!

A swift macro for (de)serializing structs without having to worry about decoding crashes as you change the properties of the struct over time. I've been developing and using it for over a year in production apps, I can’t live without it now

I'm going to be real and admit that I had some worries about the Indie Fair last year at CommunityKit.

Would we be able to pull it off?

It went SO WELL and (IMO) ended up being the shining star of the whole experience.

We're doing it again this year and signups are live now if you want to show off your apps!
