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!!

so far pretty good! I know a lot of webdev and react so I'm having Claude explain stuff using parallel examples from react which is super helpful. I'm also using Cursor which honestly kinda feels like cheating.

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

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.

turns out that was the hard part lol we're off to the races folks

god I love building stuff in 2024.

Lol, I'm planning to learn Swift too! How's the learning journey been so far?

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!

so far the hardest thing by far has been understanding how the hell Xcode works and why the hell it works that way
