Building consumer-grade mobile apps at the system level
Just submitted "Realtime Salary" for App Store review.
It's a minimalist app that shows how much you’re earning as you work, second by second. No ads. No tracking.
🚀 Built for freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who values their time.
💸 One-time purchase - around $1.

I'm working on a simple app that shows how much you've earned so far today - based on your hourly or monthly rate.
It's for those of us who like to see progress in real-time.
Would you use something like this? What other small features would make it more interesting or useful?

Is anyone here into Objective-C? I'll be sharing parts of my journey with this beautiful language - would love to hear about yours too!

Hiding features behind .isSubscribed everywhere pollutes your code.
It scatters logic, breaks composability, and complicates testing.
How do you handle this?
- View builders?
- Capability services?
- @Environment guards?
Would love to hear your take.

Things I learned building an offline-first #iOS translation app:
✅ Don’t trust OCR output blindly — pre-process images
✅ Google #MLKit works offline, but translation quality varies a lot by language
✅ #SwiftUI is great for prototyping, but UIKit is still essential for low-level camera control

Follow-up to my last post — how the app runs fully offline (aside from downloading language models once).
- Live camera: AVFoundation
- OCR from frames: Vision
- Translation: Google ML Kit, runtime-downloaded models
- UI: Pure SwiftUI, with minimal UIKit where needed

Hello World!
I built a SwiftUI camera translation app using AVFoundation, Vision, and ML Kit.
Offline, private, supports multiple languages, and saves your phrases.
