alright I've got a week to build and ship a swift app. it took me three hours to get from my initial idea to seeing "hello world" on my phone. here's hoping that was the hard part.

I didn't know such thing even existed lol, now I just finished a youtube tutorial on Xcode and man It's SO COOL and ended up very familiar to me coming from Figma and some basic coding knowledge using VScode. I can't wait to start building some shit!!

personally I can't stand xcode lol and I'm coming from the same tools (figma/vscode)! wound up just using xcode for project management and catching errors, and writing all the actual code in vscode/cursor instead. either way, lots of fun! :) good luck building!

It feels like Xcode was designed to be used a very specific way, and if you don't use it that way it's hard to get things done. I end up using Zed more often because it supports multiple languages and it feels like gives me more freedom to work how I want
