main reason why I might not going to get another apple watch: my favorite watch face was REMOVED from library and I realised after full reset of my watch.

Recently I started uploading ym bike rides and needed tool to generate timetable/chapters out of my route.
At first I made script then improved it with copilot and eventually converted into react app using github copilot.

Amazing work!
enough to publish as a book :)

Copilot really bad with C++ as for me.

First submission of my habit tracker app. My aim is to release app by WWDC25 :)

just wow!

it sounds so convincing!.

Just pushed the first draft of the landing page for my new habit tracking app! Built with Astro on the front and Vapor on the back for waitlist.

Favourite feature in Swift 6.1: tailing comma in lists

Does not reduce the size. But compiles a lot faster. I have one more dependency to check.

I have one extra dependency that might contributing to the size. I will try removing it and then will report on new size

I'm back to Swift+Vapor. I managed to reduce the size of the image to about 300MB and reduce the build time to 20 minutes, splitting it into to runs ARM64 and AMD64.

And, before going too deep and reimplementing, I decided to check what the size of the container is. The average is 350-450 MB. There is no point. Also consuming a lot more RAM.

During the weekend, I made an attempt to rewrite my Vapor-based service written in Swift to Python using FastAPI. It did not go well... I had a feeling of something uncomfortable and out of my control.

Yesterday, I tried Astro for front-ended development to create a landing page for my app. Astro is what I expected React would be.

I wonder if there have been any good recent developments or articles on this. Meanwhile, I’m considering rewriting it in Python or Go, and while it’s running, I’ll start investigating how to make the Swift container smaller.

While it’s cool and neat to write a web service in Swift using Vapor and Postgres, things don’t look great when it comes to creating a Docker image a simple app ends up being a 400MB container.
I’ve seen mentions on forums about getting it down to 125–200MB, but Im not there yet.

amazing tool squoosh.app
lots of options to compress images!

On the finish line with features in my habit app. Added feature times per day to habits.
Replaced my callisthenics practice habit with some countable habits. Got a nice counter element. Tomorrow I will make a short video on how it works.

While it is notably new approach, I would argue how good results can be because data they use probably already spoiled by their existing recommendation system which is awful.

More RAM on laptop make such massive difference in productivity. Should not be surprise.
I continue working on my habit app and made massive progress over past few days
