Did you do cross-platform and if so, did you use the same UI style for everything? Today I was making a list of reasons/excuses for using Material Design on Mac… which I guess would make some people mad, but it might work for an enterp

I don’t have much app experience, I’m mostly a back-end guy trying to build some prototypes and (hopefully) one product. I’m not in a position to give anyone advice, but I’d love to find SwiftUI but cross-platform and usable from anything o

I recently built a small app using SwiftUI. It was my first, and pretty simple. The documentation was absolutely maddening. . Half the time the Apple docs referred to a previous version. “Do this thing in XCode” often included screenshot

For us, the application process was a big help in getting focus and better defining what we propose to build. And not getting in has led us to find some other, potentially much better programs which we will apply to. We don’t regret the

The Banned and High-Risk lists read like a call for startups (outside the EU). > U.S. tech giants, such as Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI, will need to adapt their operations to meet these requirements. This could involve significant chan
