Callsheet is great though, isn’t it? It’s like a public service. Recognise Jenny Actor but not sure where from; Callsheet it!

My exercise planner, PocketPB, won’t report your location to people with bombs and other munitions.

RE: @mlysons@iosdev.space

If there are any iPhone users in #running that want to try out an exercise planner app, there are a few spots left on my TestFlight.

Apologies to non-iPhone users. I don’t have the time or skill for Android at the moment.

Slowly getting back to running after a four week break. I didn’t want the break but unfortunately physical and mental health said otherwise.

Anyway, two runs in a week, so progress 😀

Ah, two days off work. No laptop, no SQL Server databases, no typing weird instructions into a machine etc

Me: Opens MacBook, starts reviewing PocketPB’s data model and typing weird instructions into a machine… 😂

TL;DR; Here’s a TestFlight for PocketPB, an iPhone app I’ve been telling Codex to build: https://testflight.apple.com/join/dZ5cp9cU - it’s for people who want to create exercise plans, e.g. a 10k plan, a strength training plan etc.

I had been working on it since 2019 but I paused in 2023 because it had defeated me. A few weeks ago the Xcode AI stuff appeared, and I decided to try it out. I didn’t plan on re-doing PocketPB so fully, but I thought it would be interesting to see how well Codex did. (1/7)

I've been catching up with @pointfreeco@hachyderm.io SQLiteData series. I've been an avid user of GRDB for, I dunno, maybe 10 years, so this is my go-to method for persistence. And PointFree’s work looks fantastic. I am going to have a go at a sample project to see how well it works for me. The thing I am most interested in is the iCloud syncing - that is going to unlock some apps/use cases for me!

It's laptop club today, which is mostly an excuse for me and my wife to go somewhere that will serve me a hot chocolate…and we take our laptops and do some work on our various projects. It's the first trip out in the wild for MacBook Neo - being well behaved so far.

I am figuring out setting up sub domains on my website so that I can host app websites on their own sub domain. To test it, I hand-coded a HTML page in BBEdit. Takes me back to coding ASP apps in Notepad back in the day!

Decided to try out the new AI stuff in Xcode. Which meant I needed to upgrade my Mac to Tahoe first. So, after doing that and noticing no difference to Sequoia, I proceeded!

Within 30 mins of usage, Codex had created a prototype app that was running on my iPhone. This is far beyond asking ChatGPT for help and pasting in some code.

Anyway, yeah, back to STS for more considered commentary on all this 😀
