Weekly Newsletter Issue 24
Weekly newsletter summing up our publications and showcasing app developers and their amazing creations.
Welcome to this week's edition of our newsletter.
Summer is here and for us the month of August is when we take a break.
Because of that, our weekly newsletter will not be published for the next three weeks and it will be back on the 30th of August.
For the month though, we have articles scheduled with a focus on Machine Learning topics.
If you are taking a summer break as well we hope that you come back recharged and ready to keep making a difference in the developer community as we will do!

Indie App of the Week
Checker
Checker is a simple and focused tracker developed by Mykola that helps make habits stick and assists the user in being more consistent with their goals. It provides an easy way to check in on tracked actions and displays the progress in a calendar grid, making it easy to identify patterns and potential areas for improvement. The app also tracks amounts by allowing users to set a unit and a value for every action they track.
The app is simple, clean, and focused with a great native look and feel. There is great attention to detail, like the micro-interaction on the calendar grid when the user checks in.
This recent article by Vidit generated a long and interesting discussion among us. The article highlights how the introduction of new technologies shifts how we design our applications. An action-centered design approach to designing apps is discussed considering the advent of Apple Intelligence.
Do you see your app design process changing as well? Join the discussion!
We can’t wait to see what you will Create with Swift.
