Highly recommend Nintype third party keyboard. Such a breath of fresh air to have a keyboard made for power users.
The project is abandoned but it still works well. I hope someone sees this and gets inspired to build something to replace it. If you do you can have my money!

Aerospace (tiling window manager for macOS). Bit of a learning curve but it’s amazing
Hate them so much. As an iOS eng I feel like I always end up doing 10x more work than others. But it’s also my fault for accepting invites to teams with new feature ideas. Been burned enough times now that I won’t be doing that anymore.
Thanks I had forgotten about tinyseed!
Product and UX focused iOS engineer and leader with ~10 years experience, 8 at A-list consumer product/app companies that are (or once were, lol) SV darlings.
Contact me if you’re looking for a mobile dev leader to help you craft a stellar product.
Don’t contact me if you’re looking for someone to micromanage and to do only what they are told <3
Comfortable in current role but ready for something new.
Remote: yes Willing to relocate: maybe Technologies: iOS, SwiftUI (have also done plenty of backend, node, kotlin) Résumé/CV: contact if interested Email: hn_2024@lxl.sh
I guess it depends on what you classify as “advancing your career”. If you’re a software engineer, building a side project from start to finish is valuable experience that translates. It’s especially valuable experience for devs with less work experience.
That said. I’ve learned that building out a product, even seemingly small things, takes a huge amount of effort as a solo dev. I built https://fretpro.app and it makes about $100/month (has been very slowly growing for the last year). I thought it would be quick and easy, but it took months of early mornings and weekend mornings (can’t code all night like I used to anymore), and can’t lie, my health and mental health suffered during that time. I’m much more selective with side projects these days.
I love tools like these, and love writing code to help myself learn guitar as well.
I made an iOS app for memorizing notes. You play the note on your guitar and it recognizes if it’s correct. Helps build muscle memory instead of just memorization. https://fretpro.app if anyone wants to check it out :)
These are awesome thanks for sharing!
I will be writing a bot to buy me random things from musiciansfriend.
...This is the second Java/Javascript mixup I've seen on TC in the last two days.
The first one was here - http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/30/why-enterprise-apps-are-mov.... The third subheading originally read "Transitioning Developers From HTML To Java."
The worst part? These two articles aren't even by the same author. So TechCrunch has multiple writers that don't know the difference.
"Transitioning developers from HTML to Java"
Fail.
This is neat, but I don't think the HTML and CSS buttons are working. I'm on iPhone right now and the HTML/CSS buttons don't show the HTML or CSS. If I click one it just displays browser compatibility.... Would be cool to be able to see the source.
