A few thoughts on designing iOS layout
There was a slight change in concept of how I want my magic hours app main screen to look, comparing to what I’ve presented in my previous post. I’ve decided that timeline control would be, maybe, more suitable. So I had to finally deal with proper…

Localizing iOS app with SwiftGen
I came with my app development to a stage where I’m about to inform user about various things happening behind the scenes. This means that I have to present messages like: estimating current location, fetching weather forecast, etc. somewhere in the user interface. And this is the…

Fetching weather forecast in Swift
Yesterday I got really excited :) I’m talking about a feeling when you’re dealing with something which is still new for you, but at the same time you begin to understand how things are organised and what should be done to achieve the goal. I felt…

Apples taken with a grain of salt
The weather outside is just too good to stay at home and code and yesterday was April Fool’s Day. So I decided that today’s post is going to be lightweight and not so serious. I’m going to make fun of Apple. A little bit ;) There’s…

Damn, it’s hard…
It’s hard to get used to the new IDE, new shortcuts, new programming language and the new OS at the same time. I feel like a kid who got lost in the woods. And it’s getting dark! Stay calm, don’t panic and try to…

Tuples and enums in Swift are cool ;)
In my last entry I did complain a little about some of Swift wonders I have recently discovered, so today I’m going to look at the bright side of Swift, just to keep the balance ;) I’m going to focus on two data structures: tuples…

Things got a little complicated today. I bet you know the feeling when simple tasks escalate in time consuming issues, just like that, out of the blue. You try to find the solution, you find the solution, you follow the steps necessary to resolve…
