Months ago, I setup some monitoring cron jobs for our #RubyOnRails app. They help me catch unexpected issues that occur due to third-party API failures, and retry them automatically before reporting them as failures that need my attention.

These cron jobs help me do other things with my time 😀

Scraped some data for the marketing site. Will build something with it.

Got my bandwidth optimization ready to deploy. Nothing to do with the ios app. But I'll wait. Back to the marketing task for this app.

31 days of effort and the app is complete.
Now comes the dreaded part - submitting to Apple and whatever else I have to do for marketing.

So “The Black Swan” book mentions a fictional author and their book. Someone has been selling an empty book with the same title on Amazon as a prank 😃

This is how you can use icons from the internet in your #SwiftUI app 😀

Most of us dont need Truecaller. Just set your phone's focus mode to only allow calls from saved contacts.

Here is the full setup to get kamal secrets to use 1Password.

This is kamal 2.3 with Rails 8.
I have a destination for production. My secrets go into .kamal/secrets.production file.

If you get this error with kamal building the docker image.

Try running "docker build -t myimage ."
If that works, then most likely that your Docker Desktop needs a restart. If you cannot do that, then force quit on MacOS activity manager.

Watch what you put in your .kamal/secrets file it uses dotenv rubygem - which parses the file.

So if you put stuff like multi-line bash commands, they won't work in the kamal secrets file.

Omzz! Found a useful configuration in AppStore Connect.
For EVERY sandbox user, the time interval for what a "month" means in the sandbox environment can be configured.

By default, monthly subscriptions in sandbox renew every 5 minutes.

One more tip for today 😀

If your Stimulus controller is making an API request in connect(), then ensure to mark the controller element as "data-turbo-temporary".

Else when user navigate to a page, the API request fires twice (reasons below)

⚡️ Pro tip: Turn on this debug option in #Stimulus and you'll see well-formatted controller connect/disconnect events in the browser console.

Extremely useful to debug issues.

I like the custom storekit paywall so far. Built this from scratch.
the default storekit views don't allow customizing the price display to per month, or show discount percent.

The marketing content is still a placeholder. I'll get to that soon.

It's been 7 days of work so far.
I got my code snippets ready. I hope I can literally assemble the app tomorrow 😀

I am always this close to getting the RG Nano. But this doesn’t have WiFi. The GameKiddy Pixel does, but it’s a bit larger.

When it comes to air quality, the choice is between remaining indoors, or dying a little everyday 😂

Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam).

This is the Inkbird Plus PTH-9A. It’s a dumb AQ monitor. No WiFi, Bluetooth or mobile app.

I stopped trusting Apple Intelligence summary after this happened 😀

1.5 programmers at home now!!!
We are on the way to a whole number.

Thanks to PragmaticStudio's #RubyOnRails course 😀

Wow. This is a handy feature given all the AI copy-pasting happening 😀

Got some Swift code in your clipboard? Xcode can create a new file with it.
