Third testimonial and mini case study is live on SwiftSwiftApps.

This time it's featuring none other than Lou Zell, maker of AIProxy. Thanks again for trusting me Lou, this project was super cool and I enjoyed working with you.

Second testimonial and mini case-study is live on SwiftSwiftApps!

I'm old enough to remember the dark days before StackOverflow, and watch becoming my favorite website and invaluable tool.

It feels weird witnessing how irrelevant it's becoming. Too little, too late.

I'm extremely happy to have received my first testimonial for SwiftSwiftApps. I immediately displayed it on the website!

Thanks to Ryan Kulp who had really kind words, I had to refrain myself from displaying them all 😅

Excited to continue this journey!

I'll soon be releasing Summiqo with on-device transcription for iOS 26: privacy-first, cost-friendly, no cloud needed.

I've also updated the UI to Liquid Glass.

Plus I'm making it completely free with a tip jar. I'll try this business model of giving value first, and we'll see what happens.

I fed Claude Code docs about Liquid Glass and got to work to improve the UI of Summiqo, my transcription and summarization app.

Here's the result.

It's simple, but I don't want the UI to be over the top.

What do you think? How did you manage Liquid Glass implementations with AI-coding?

As an experienced software engineer specialized in Swift, looking to find my place in the freelancing market, and fond of coding with AI, I've been working on something truly new and unique.

I'm fairly certain nobody ever did that before.

It's launching tomorrow, so watch this space!

Tangier is one of the rare cities where you have both the ocean (Atlantic) and sea (Mediterranean) within a few minutes.

Today is an ocean day.

Work hard and rest well.

Made a v0.1 iOS frontend for Summiqo with Claude Code today. It picked up flawlessly the initial Mac app code from Cursor + Gemini 2.5 Pro.

Had it open a PR that Gemini reviewed.

I guess having a real software engineer in the middle coordinating all of this helps grease the wheels. #Shipaton

Let's document life in Tangier, Morocco, coming from France as a wannabe indie hacker.

This is a nice building hosting a big car sales and repair complex. This building is known as the "snail" to some locals.

I haven't been active recently because I was moving.

There's an overlap between the indie hacker community and the digital nomads one.

Would any of you be interested in me documenting life where I moved?

Hint: it's country, and even a continent quite underrepresented in both of those communities.

Following yesterday's post, I quickly did a prototype that I can use.

For now I'll leave it mostly like that and use it daily, comparing results with other apps. Then it'll be time to decide if it's worth getting to market.

These last couple of weeks, I've been working on a small project and a blog post related to Foundation Models, part of my summer roadmap.

I won't say much for now, but if all goes well, it'll be a guest post on a publication for one of my favorite devs in the Swift and AI space. 🤫

Very excited!

Third part of my ongoing #buildinpublic series for my new app is out.

This time, we take a small detour to marketing land.

Second part of my ongoing #buildinpublic series for my new app is out, check it out!

With an ugly debug UI as a bonus. 😅

If like me, you struggle with too much to watch and listen to, but not enough time, that's a problem. And I might have a solution. Classic way to start a new project right?
