What programming/technical projects have you been working on?
This is a recurring post to discuss programming or other technical projects that we've been working on. Tell us about one of your recent projects, either at work or personal projects. What's interesting about it? Are you having trouble with anything?
I started making a little envelope budgeting app for iOS. It’s very minimalist and won’t include any cool bells and whistles existing apps have (like bank integration, graphs, etc.). It’s basically just physical cash envelopes in a virtual form. No backend. Everything stored locally on-device. No tracking.
So far I have the basic functionality working quite well. I can create envelopes, put money in them, and spend money from them. I’m using SwiftUI for the UI, which works quite well. Trying to make it look and feel as close to standard iOS apps as possible.
I might be the only user of the app in the end, but at least it feels happy developing something that I would actually use myself. 🙂
I have a habit of starting projects and never finishing them, so maybe writing about it here gives me some motivation to keep working on it too. Let’s see!
Did my writeup of my home server setup. Working on probably nuking and resintalling the OS because linux gremlins (fails to boot when you shutdown/reboot, until you hold the power button, then boots...neat).
