Create with Swift - Napoli Meetup
We are planning the first Apple Developer Meetup of Napoli!
The community of Apple Developers in Naples is becoming bigger and bigger every year and it has been bothering us that there isn’t an official way to allow them to meet. That's where the concept of an Apple Developer meetup in Naples was born.
Meetups are amazing opportunities for:
- Finding opportunities: Discover new job prospects
- Finding collaborators: Find partners to bring your app ideas to life
- Learning: Dive into the world of app development
- Networking: Connect with fellow developers and professionals
At this moment we are collecting interest to have a better idea of the number of people willing to take part in this first edition, so if you are able to be in Naples, Italy, on the central weeks of September let us know by filling out the following form:
We are gathering interest: fill the form and spread the word.
Your participation will help us shape the future of our developer community. If you want more information take a look at the following dedicated page for the meetup, which will be updated once we have further details, or get in touch with us through Twitter or LinkedIn.

Indie App of the Week
MonAi
A simple expense Tracker developed by Florian simplifies and makes quicker the data entry process by replicating a common interaction for the user: the voice message. By leveraging AI the app then automatically splits and categorizes the entry making the process less time-consuming and tedious and keeping everything stored in your personal iCloud.
The app prioritizes simplicity and user-friendliness by showing just what the user needs to see, even in its advanced mode.
If you are updating your apps for the new versions of the operational systems then you might be aware that new Beta versions have been this week. A great resource to keep track of these updates is the Beta Profiles website. It's a beautifully crafted website that keeps track of all the updates in detail.
We can’t wait to see what you will Create with Swift.
See you next week!
