Would SpriteKit still be the way to make a little 2d game? Or any other Apple framework or 3rd party? For no reason at all, and don't expect any app announcement from me anytime soon 🫪

I have a new iPhone Duo app idea 💡 But it's a "two sided marketplace idea" where you need people looking and people finding But I should also probably update my existing apps first? Right?

First thing I wanted for Swiftsonic was a set list, not an agenda. That’s why we have Openers and Headliners. The day builds: fresh voices, deep experience, practical Swift and iOS stories. Nashville · Nov 20–22 🎟️ swiftsonicconf.com

This is the point in the Indie App Sales lead-up when the banner starts to come alive with beautiful icons from apps built by indie devs. I love it! Can you find your icon? See any you love? If you haven't registered yet, what are you waiting for?! July 28–30! indieappsales.com #IndieAppSales

Classic question we continue to ask and change answers on it each time. What tech stack are you using for your website? (I'm planning on updating my website this weekend), leaning towards Astro or 11ty For a blog, but mostly just personal website showing what I'm working on
