Updates on my major new iOS project!

Hey, everyone! As April comes to a close, I think now is a good time to update all of you on the latest news regarding my major new iOS project I announced a few weeks ago. So, here's what's new presented in glorious Q&A format!

Overall, how's the project going?
At this point, pretty well! There's still a lot left to do, but I've made some serious progress these last few weeks.

Will this app be free?
Yes, but there will probably be an in-app purchase to unlock some extra features.

When will it be ready for release?
It's hard to say. However, I do think it will probably be at least June when I release it, though it could also be as late as July.

Will Palm Month (May 2021) interfere with its development?
Not in a major way, hopefully. I'm not sure I'll be able to do quite as much this Palm Month as I did last year, but that's because I want to spend a fairly substantial amount of time working on this new iOS app in May, too. I'm hoping that I'll be able to have a nice balance between Palm and iOS development that will allow me to do a decent amount of both.

Is this app a completely new project?
No. I've already made an Android version of it, but the iOS counterpart I'm working on will likely have some UI differences and advantages over that Android version.

Should I be excited for this new iOS app?
Definitely. It will be a little while longer until it is ready, but I'll be working hard in that time to make it the best it can realistically be!

Anyway, those are the answers to a few questions I'm guessing some of you might have been wondering about. There's still a lot left to do, but I'm hopeful that this new iOS app will launch in the not-too-distant future. Until then, stay tuned for more updates!

What's in John's Backpack? (EDC)

I may no longer be a computer science major, but I'm still fascinated by electronics of all kinds. That's why I take great pleasure in writing about my "everyday carry," that being the devices that I regularly take along with me. These are often being swapped around, as I am an enthusiast at heart, but some of these have stuck around for a long time. So, here's the list: Phone: iPhone 15 Pro (128 GB) It's a very nice phone. That's about all I have to say about it. Like most people, I'm pretty apathetic toward iPhones. I prefer iOS for my needs, and it does what I need it to. 'Nuff said. Laptop: MacBook Pro 14" (2023, M3) I feel bad for my MacBook Pro. It gets tossed around in my bag, is constantly being used, and has a fair few battle scars. But it keeps on going. This laptop has gotten me through college thus far, and I'm hoping I won't have to replace it for a few more years. Watch: Apple Watch SE (the newest one) I swear that this i...

I love my Instax Mini SE. Here's why!

Hey, folks! I did it. I finally got into instant photography. And I love it. Admittedly, I've had some experience with instant photography before now. I got my first instant camera at a thrift store in 2022. It was a Polaroid OneStep from the 90s, and while film was still readily available for it, it was far too expensive to justify using it regularly. As cool as instant photography was, I accepted that it wasn't economically viable for me and moved on. ...Until about a month ago! On one of my first dates with my girlfriend, she introduced me to her Fujifilm Instax Mini 11. It was a much more compact and modern instant camera than my Polaroid. It also used smaller film slides. This was a big deal, as she informed me that the smaller film came at a smaller price. I was intrigued. A couple weeks later, I ventured to Walmart and splurged. I picked up the cheapest Instax they sold: The Mini SE. It only cost about $57, and it came bundled with 10 slides of film. I also picked up an ...
