Part 10 of SQLite Data for iOS is live! We wrap up the series with advanced CloudKit record sharing, letting users share their Gift Registry data with others. It has been an amazing journey. Hope you learned as much building it as I did teaching it! youtu.be/0VOLmSWYj5c
I find TestFlight approvals to be pretty quick and after the first approval, updates are instantaneous
A week a go I submitted my new MyLinks app to AppStore Review for approval. iOS target was approved within a day. Still waiting for the mac target to enter the review process. Mac review times are brutal. Is that everyone else’s experience?
Custom tools are often the best tools. I used vibe coding with Codex to create CTSiteBuilder, a SwiftUI app that stores site content in SQLiteData, syncs with iCloud, converts markdown, exports static HTML, and helps deploy the finished site.

Got SSH access working now and rsync is managing the synchronization between local and remote. No more FTP. Working exactly how I had planned it. Now there are no excuses to keeping my site up to date and fresh
For now just the manifest. I will be moving to rsync once I get SSL shell access from GoDaddy
Part 9 of the SQLite Data series is live. iPad Split View navigation plus CloudKit sync for one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many relationships. See how little code it takes. youtu.be/EhNxQYlHEfM
This version uses FTP and pushes the full set but there are only 46 files. A manifest manages removals. If I can get SSH working I will change to rsync
Vibe coding was a perfect fit for this. I wanted my website to be easier to maintain and update, so Codex and I built a SwiftUI app using SQLiteData persistence to manage content and deploy HTML to the server. I am genuinely thrilled with how it turned out www.createchsol.com
I just published rsyncGUI, an open source macOS app that brings a proper SwiftUI interface to rsync. Copy, move, sync, delete, compare, and see exactly what command will run before you start.
Mostly vibe coded, but I needed it.

The Gift Registry app just levelled up! 🚀 Part 8 completes many-to-many relationships in SQLite Data Use set arithmetic for clean inserts & deletes, and CloudKit sync is next! ▶️ youtu.be/kePACRwjumM #iOSDev #SwiftUI
Using Mind Node to organize my thoughts is very helpful when planning out a slide deck. I expect there to be hundreds of slides in the presentation
Watching all of the posts coming in from #DeepDishSwift has inspired me to start work on my slide deck for Swift Rockies. I have been doing the research, but now it is time to put it all together.

We've done one-to-many. We've done one-to-one. Now it's time for many-to-many! 🚀 Part 7 of my SQLite Data series is live — CloudKit sync is getting closer! youtu.be/eIcBsMOW9UA #SwiftUI #iOSDev #SQLiteData
Feedback to MyLinks for iOS and MacOS has been great. Improvements have been made. Please join the TestFlight for iOS AND for MacOS and test synchronization. Submitted version to the App Store will be always FREE. Now is your change to give feedback.

6 videos in and the Gift Registry app just got a whole lot better. 🎉 Part 6 adds photo picking, blob storage & list thumbnails using SQLite Data from Point-Free in a one-to-one relationship . youtu.be/Js1n-sbUyU4 #SwiftUI #SQLiteData #iOSDev
I’ve been wanting an app like this for a long time, so I made it. Keep your links, emails, phone numbers, and social accounts in one place. Copy, open, share selected entries, and sync across Apple devices. Will be forever Free. TestFlight testers wanted: testflight.apple.com/join/2btxatau
Why make individual queries when you can JOIN? Discover how to build efficient multi-table queries with SQLiteData that make Swift Data look limited. Part 5 of SQLite Data series live now! 🚀

Any interest in this kind of app? A quick way to store and share any links that you want to share and access the content of those links too. I was hoping to use this when at WWDC but I didn’t get a ticket. Wondering if I should put on App Store (free) or open source it.
SQLite Data Part 4 is here! Learn to build proper one-to-many database relationships, handle migrations safely, and architect cleaner SwiftUI views. #SwiftDev #iOSDev #SwiftUI #SQliteData
