Kodsnack 584 - A free deadline in September, with Malin Sundberg and Kai Dombrowski

<p>Fredrik is joined by <a href="https://mastodon.social/@malin">Malin Sundberg</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/@kaidombrowski">Kai Dombrowski</a> for a quick chat about the <a href="https://deepdishswift.com/">Deep dish Swift</a> conference, the past and present of <a href="https://mercuryweather.app/">Mercury weather</a>, their next app project, and what might happen at Apple&rsquo;s WWDC in June.</p> <p>The first big topic is the developer conference <a href="https://deepdishswift.com/">Deep dish Swift</a>. Malin and Kai not only participated in the conference itself, but also created <a href="https://slices-the-deep-dish-swift-pod.pinecast.co/">the Slices podcast</a>, interviewing the speakers of the conference. How are indie developers different from each other, and why might it be a bad idea for Malin and Kai to do a regular podcast with <a href="https://charliemchapman.com/">Charlie Chapman</a>?</p> <p>We then dig into the evolution of Mercury weather since the last episode - especially the <a href="https://www.macstories.net/reviews/mercury-weather-2-0-adds-trip-forecasts/">trip forecast feature</a>. Yes: timezones were a big part of the challenge. The secret marketing advantage of having a Mac version of your IOS app.</p> <p>Next Malin and Kai talk about their movie industry project - an app for planning shoot days for movies and TV. A project which has given them lots of insight into the quirks of a whole new industry, and made them see whole different things in movies they watch.</p> <p>We revisit our use of VR for work and gaming. VR of course shades naturally into bringing Mercury to Vision pro - a quick process, but some interesting adjustments were required.</p> <p>With WWDC fast approaching, we talk wishes and ideas. What would we like the Ipad to become? We do some interesting speculation about Apple&rsquo;s coming focus on &ldquo;AI&rdquo; and how that might work together with apps. Fredrik should perhaps spend some time on his Mac app?</p> <p>Finally, Malin and Kai reveal their summer project: a kanban-style workflow tracking app. Done with paper cuts!</p> <p>Also: good deadlines. If Apple gives you one for free, you take it!</p> <p>Thank you <a href="http://www.cloudnet.se">Cloudnet</a> for sponsoring our <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_server">VPS</a>!</p> <p>Comments, questions or tips?
