New devs? Yes start with SwiftUI. It's the future, it's fun, and it will get you hired. ✨

Established devs? Don’t rush the migration. Move when it makes sense, not when X tells you to. 🛠️📱

🔄 Writing documentation (95% done)
📊 I've started contacting former colleagues who know me and how I work to get feedback on the service. So far, zero clients.

Validating that freelancing can work without: lowball rates, payment delays, or scope creep. More tomorrow 🚀

UIKit unlocks even more with SwiftUI, and just following a Claude suggestion to use UIKit without understanding it won’t cut it 🤷🏻‍♂️. Master both, and you’ll design even higher-level interfaces 🚀

I could spend hours talking about what I love and don’t about each. If I had to pick, I specialize in SwiftUI my Figma To SwiftUI service says it all 😄. But I urge young devs and trainers to include UIKit in their learning.

The multiplatform possibilities with SwiftUI are huge there’s really no debate. Since SwiftUI is a layer on top, it lets you mix and match both worlds seamlessly if you master them. It’s not about SwiftUI vs UIKit, it’s about how to use both together to build better apps 🚀.

I don’t believe SwiftUI is dying. On the contrary, declarative is the future, and SwiftUI is part of that. Honestly, coding might soon just mean talking to your computer in English 😄.

The switch to declarative thinking was necessary for iOS, but old school devs know UIKit is a different beast, while newcomers see it almost as a SwiftUI plugin 😄.

For new devs today, there’s barely a debate SwiftUI is all they know, and most training focuses on it. They miss out on the imperative mindset UIKit gave us.

Then SwiftUI came along, and I was among the first to embrace it. There were phases: wanting to use SwiftUI at jobs that only used UIKit, building new features from scratch in SwiftUI, migrating legacy code, and now SwiftUI being the norm.

UIKit holds a special place for me it’s where I poured my energy at the start of my career. Tackling complex UI tickets felt like playing video games, and I loved that.

Yes, it's a long-term career, so you have to have patience and perseverance. The biggest challenge is to win those first customers and validate that this format interests my target customer. If I don'; it means that this way of working doesn't interest them and I'll have to change course 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for being part of this journey 🙏

Thanks, happy to share the journey 🙂

Strategy in what sense?😄 Economic strategy? Time, focus, long-term mindset? It's a combination of decisions you have to make so as not to negatively impact your family with your entrepreneurial aspirations. 🤷🏻‍♂️

But let's be real: my family comes first. Always.

So here we go. I'll share everything – strategies, wins, losses, the messy middle. The whole journey, unfiltered 🚀

This is my last shot. I have a daughter now. She deserves a secure future.

If my projects don't gain traction in H1 2026, I'll shut down my company and step away from entrepreneurship.

Failure? No. Never trying is the real failure 💪

The reality check: I need at least one client per month to support my family.

If this doesn't work, I'm not just failing to validate a product – I'm closing the door and going back to full-time employment 💼

But now? Everything's changed 🎯

I don't have a portfolio. I have a service. A real offering. And there's no way to juggle a client with a full-time job.

This forces me all in. No safety net.
