A short update on ClickWheel after a long ass time: I've decided to open source it, Apple has been giving me an hard time enrolling in the developer program and in all honesty I don't love the idea of splurging 100€ to launch a free app. Anyway, here's the repo, feel free to fork, contribute or simply enjoy the app as much as I did making it: https://github.com/TomasVSantos/ClickWheel-oss

@emiliopelaez that's super cool, I'll have to check it out later today after work 😆
@mrudokas Totally! I LOVE good haptic feedback 🙏
I'm still thinking about screenshots and everything else for marketing, that's gonna be a whole new challenge, coding is decently easy, it's my job after all, marketing though, thats a whole different beast lol
@mrudokas No sound effects yet, but haptics feel great!
In the first few iterations I was going for a flatter look but the skeumorphism is indeed much more fun 😄
Before posting this video I was thinking about making the click wheel a bit more skeumorphic and adding some texture to the background, definitely noted!
There are still some things to do on ClickWheel before publishing 🤓
In today's ClickWheel update I bring you the finalized UI!
One step closer to the full release, I am aiming to get it out until the end of the month, I still have a couple of behind the scenes improvements to do, including a better queue system (gets quite slow on big Apple Music libraries like mine), better touch targets on the buttons (even though the bigger buttons make it much friendlier) and keeping track of what the user was listening before closing the app.
Today's ClickWheel update: Themes! 🎨🧑🎨
A smaller but fun update, didn't have much time today, but wanted to tackle something off the todo list.
Also added a small tutorial to the settings menu, in the future this will also be featured when first opening the app.

@everyplace Oh, I'll totally hit them up, thanks! I've only ever published on the App Store once and the team was super helpful during the process, but talking with them beforehand sounds even better!
As for recent APIs, I'm not familiar with how MusicKit worked in the past, but right now it is incredible, still haven't hit any walls with it!
