I’m going to try to write a real app this time. I have this idea for an app that I think would be pretty useful to me. I don’t want to reveal too much about it yet, but the design work is 75% done and I’m happy with it.
It’s also going to be written completely in Swift. I know that a lot of people are advising against it. I don’t care. It’s a personal project, I have no deadlines, no existing codebase and no allegiance to Objective-C. I’ve played with Swift quite a bit recently and I really like it. It feels a lot more natural to write than Objective-C and I like the fact that I’m learning this language at the same time as thousands of people. I’m also convinced that Swift is the way forward, so why wait?1
I’ll talk about it in more details as I get closer to Beta, but if you’re interested you should follow me on Twitter. I’ll try to keep writing about my process too, so keep an eye out for new posts soon.
