A peek behind the curtain hiding all those switches and buttons.

I was honored to talk to Victoria about how I got my start and the journey my airline career has taken me on. If you or someone you know is interested in this path, Victoria's podcast will answer a lot of questions.

That was a hilarious talk on exactly what not to do! 😂

Getting my regular dose of @launchedfm.com Live @deepdishswift.com. It’s nice seeing the progression of developers over time, Neem Serra sharing her story.

Learning from @mufasayc.com that force unwraps are far more fun than error handling in CloudKit. @deepdishswift.com

It’s my go-to for the schedule!

A room full of design questions from a room full of developers for @justmedevin.bsky.social

Kicking off @deepdishswift.com with @joshdholtz.com and @cassidoo.co

3 dozen?! That’s a coordinated attack.

Thanks! It even handles searching for things other than pizza. 😊

Follow-up to the follow-up, here is how it actually looks.

It sounds like you’ve enrolled yourself in a quantum physics class on superposition. You’ve already passed and failed at the same time. 😂

This looks great!

That has to be in Bruce Wayne’s bat cave.

Any day with pizza is a 5 star day.

Ahhh Foursquare uses a 0-10 rating system. So everything was clamping at the max 5 stars. Nothing a / 2 doesn’t fix.

ps. All the blank space is for the place photos. That’s a whole other thing, don’t @ me. 😉

Foursquare place data is coming back nicely. But either my rating system is off, or every pizza place I tap is coming back off the chain 5 stars outstanding! @s4xton.com would be the authority on this.

I've followed these examples many times! The syntax isn't what I would consider intuitive.

Follow-up, this is how it will look. Or something like it, I'm not sure where to put the star rating.

Someone has to use it! 😁

This is absolutely NOT how this will work. But the proof of concept works to return search results of pizza places around me using the Foursquare API. Another endpoint fetches photo data using a fsq_place_id. When I press the “Photo” button I fetch the first photo of the first place, and boom!

Get Place Photos Retrieve photos for a FSQ Place using the fsq_place_id. To retrieve photos from a Photos response, learn [how to assemble photo URLs](https://docs.foursquare.com/reference/photos-guide#assembling-a-...

Oh I'm not hosting the photos, that's something for far far later if ever. It's a content moderation hellscape I don't wish to explore. Foursquare has photos...how current are they? No idea. But that's what I'm going with at the moment. docs.foursquare.com/fsq-develope...

Also @warhorsefarms.me don’t expect photos in the first beta. 😁

Photos seem to be a must. I want this too. Now to figure out how to make that work.

I rarely bother with reviews as well. Someone has had a bad experience at any place no matter what it seems.

Wrong location is interesting. My App uses Apple Maps as the base map but the location would be coming from Foursquare's API so I wonder how that translates. 🤔

My wife tells me our dog did.

This feature has been on my roadmap, but I'm accelerating it because of Apple's plan to introduce ads into search results and I think I can get more granular search results from Foursquare's API. That remains to be seen though.

I've hit this problem as well. My wife is Gluten Free and wow is it hard to find a restaurant with a GF menu. Are they open, and how far away? Clicking into each one is also tedious. My current iteration is a map, but now I'm thinking a List with a couple photos, star rating, open now and distance.
