I finally watched Project Hailmary. I really missed all the physics and science from the book. Also not sure what to think about it almost trying to be an comedy. No idea how people who did not read the book can follow the story or know what is going on at all.

Favorites and boosts really do now translate to app downloads, Appstore Connect showing just 5 downloads of the app worldwide 😂

iOS simulator just kernel panicked my macOS and caused a reboot. That is a new experience.

Finally got my certificate for passing the Japanese Language Proficiency Test for the N4 level in December. Now I passed N5 and N4 with a year between them but N3 will not be that easy, or that fast.

Sometimes I spend too much time on details when working on my own stuff. Like when creating a simple page with list of my iOS apps that nobody really visits I implemented not just light and dark theme but made sure the app icons change according to the theme like they do on iOS.

Thinking about going ever more retro, matching Turbo Pascal for DOS almost exactly.

Why I still build apps for myself
I don’t try to find market gaps anymore. I just build things I want to use — and accept that I might be the only user.

Going fully nostalgic, I have now spent more time on the Turbo Pascal theme than on the Pascal interpreter 😄

Years ago I wrote a Pascal interpreter in #swiftlang so I thought, why not try making it an iOS app. Pascal is still taught at some school as the first programming language and the retro theme is just so nostalgic. #iosdev
