A flat App launch isn’t the end. it’s just data.

You can relaunch as many times as you need.
Polish, update, tweak your marketing, and try again.

In the era of AI, the greatest skill you can master isn’t just learning faster it’s reducing the time between idea and execution.

Moved my icon over to Icon Composer today. Took a few hours, but worth it. Convert your current icon into SVG layers (btn 1–4), then experiment in Icon Composer until you find a combo that actually works.

Swift is a tool, not the job itself.
Saying "I’m good with Swift, where can I work?" is like saying "I’m good with a hammer, where can I hammer?"
The tool helps you do the job — but it isn't the job.

Hacked together a lil script that lets me write iOS code in Cursor. When I hit ⌘R it switches to Xcode, kicks off a new build (without xcodebuild's awful build times), and switches back to Cursor. Add this script, update your tasks.json, and pick a good key command.

tell application "System Events" if (name of processes) contains "Xcode" then -- Check if Xcode is already the active/focused application if (name of first application process whose frontmost is true) is not "Xcode" then tell application "Xcode" activate delay 0.25 -- Wait for Xcode to become active end tell end if -- Simulate Command+R to run tell application "System Events" keystroke "r" using {command down} end tell -- Add a small delay to ensure the command is executed before switching apps delay 0.25 -- Activate the Cursor app if (name of processes) contains "Cursor" then tell application "Cursor" activate end tell else -- Launch Cursor if it's not running do shell script "open -a 'Cursor'" end if end if end tell { "version": "2.0.0", "tasks": [ { "label": "Run in Xcode", "type": "shell", "command": "osascript", "args": [ "'/Users/mergesort/Developer/scripts/run_in_xcode.scpt'" ], "presentation": { "reveal": "always" }, "problemMatcher": [] } ] }
