Waiting For Review

As we reach the end of 2019, we take a look back at our favourite Apple releases and products from this year. We get into how these have impacted us and our work, and cast a thought ahead at what might be coming up in 2020. * Waiting For Review Dave Nott Dave Wood Music by Broke For Free License, CC Attribution 3

Dave Nott is struggling to find a groove with indie app development. We discuss ways he can get new ideas going, minimum viable products, and splitting projects up to get user feedback sooner rather than later.

Dave Wood has been on an adventure, working out how to architect a new project in SwiftUI. Dave Nott has many questions ...

The great wait is over. Dave Nott has his 16" MacBook, and strangely, has been spending rather a lot of time with it booted into Windows. Waiting For Review Dave Wood Dave Nott Music by Broke For Free License, CC Attribution 3

Dave Nott has been off on a side quest these last few weeks. We discuss what he's been up to, and how easy it is to fall down a rabbit hole. Shiny things are fun, but what are the effects on your focus and other projects? Waiting For Review Dave Nott Dave Wood Music by Broke For Free License, CC Attribution 3

After months of waiting, and a further two weeks of agonising over specs, Dave Nott has finally ordered the 16" MacBook Pro. We talk about Dave's build to order choices, and his reasonings, which got us to thinking about where things might be going for the Mac... Join us for some Mac and Mac App store discussion. * Waiting For Review Dave Nott Dave Wood Music by Broke For Free License, CC Attribution 3

This week we're joined by previous guest Charlie Chapman. After he and Dave Nott spent weeks campaigning for the machine, it only seemed right we have Charlie back on the show to discuss this wonderful new machine. Waiting For Review is a podcast from Dave Nott, and Dave Wood. To join our podcast's slack channel, drop us a message on twitter at Waiting For Review.

In anticipation of this week's 16" MBP announcement we fall into a discussion of hardware and some end of year purchases. From monitors and iPads with brydge keyboards, to Apple Watches and refurb options. Meanwhile, Dave Wood is eying up an Apple Watch series 3, with a view of bringing a small app to life.

Dave Wood explains the new screenshot automation process for his video mixing app, GoVJ. Meanwhile Dave Nott's 2010 MacBook Pro continues to disintegrate before his eyes, almost as if it knows he's waiting for something new.

What do our desktop setups and configurations look like? One of us is thinking ahead for a new MacBook Pro... Meanwhile, Dave Nott has accidentally fallen into making a Mac app, thanks to Catalyst. Side by side with AppKit and UIKit rendered versions of the same app, Dave wonders what makes a Mac app? Waiting For Review Dave Nott Dave Wood Music by Broke For Free License, CC Attribution 3

A single leaked image about the 16" and we're straight into reading the tea leaves for the new MacBook Pro. It's not quite looking like the machine Dave Nott has pined for, but the predictions are still fuzzy as we record. Dave Nott has a wobble with his indie development plans and is second guessing which project he should pick up with the time he has. We get into approaches for getting an idea of the scale of a project, cutting scope and planning features in an order that lets shipping happen sooner.

macOS Catalina is here, which means Catalyst (formerly known as Marzipan) is here! We discuss Catalyst, what it means for the platform and how it may impact how we build apps. Waiting For Review Dave Nott Dave Wood Music by Broke For Free License, CC Attribution 3

While Dave Nott awaits announcements of new Macbook Pro hardware, he's getting deeper into his Raspberry Pi. His commandline expertise is increasing, and this will only pay him back when he's back on the tools for his upcoming iOS app. Meanwhile, Dave Wood is getting back into marketing mode, putting together a new landing page for version 2.0 of his app GoVJ.

Dave Nott doesn't like iOS 13's Dark Mode, and tries to figure out some technical challenges with the new app he's developing. We troubleshoot live on the show and explore the options. Meanwhile Dave Wood is looking at ways of increasing his revenue from his existing apps, without spending lots of time on new features.

In a special episode, our guests are Heidi and Ish, creators of Capsicum App and more. Capsicum is a beautiful daily planner app, chock full of features and a unique design. Heidi and Ish were previously on the show over 2 years ago, when their app was still in it's early stages of development. We welcome them back to the show to talk about their launch experiences, the highs and lows of seeing massive public interest on day one, and where they're taking it next.

Dave Nott installs Catalina on his unsupported Mac to dig into Xcode 11 and Swift UI... Meanwhile we've a bit of an announcement to make. We're taking a short break across the summer (in the Northern hemisphere at least!), and will be back in a few weeks with Season 2 of the show. Until then, you can reach us at our Slack channel, and catch up with us on Twitter. We'd like to give a huge thanks to all listeners of the show, and we'll be back with you soon! www.waitingforreview.com @davenott @davidgarywood <a href= "http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Broke_For_Free/Something_EP/Broke_For_Free-Something_EP-_05_Something_Elated"> Music by Broke For Free Attribution 3.0 United States (CC BY 3.0 US)

After realising we have little to no plan for this weeks show, we handily remember that we got new MacBooks last week - phew! We discuss the new 13" MacBook Pro, the rather interesting 1.4Ghz CPU that sits within it and reflect a little on the 12" MacBook.

We start the show with discussion of random videos online and deep fakes, before getting into the process of rebooting development on an indie app. Dave Nott's scheduled return to indie development later this year leads us to wondering, what might an ideal indie balance be like, and might full-time, actually be a bad thing?

Jony Ive is leaving Apple, and we reflect on this from a human point of view - what might it have felt like in his shoes?

One of us has a leaky roof and a poorly car, the other is getting ready to ship an update to AirSynth, and we both have a good rant about real free trials and upgrade pricing on the App Store. AirSynth Music by Broke For Free Attribution 3.0 United States (CC BY 3.0 US)

This week, we go all over the map as we discuss how useful we find our Apple Watches, why Apple should make a consumer level monitor, and how Swift UI changes everything we do. Some fairly big changes are on the horizon for Dave Nott, so we dive into what's going to happen. Music by Broke For Free Attribution 3.0 United States (CC BY 3.0 US)

The Mac Pro! Swift UI! iPadOS! This dub dub was absolutely packed full of lots of new things. We unpack these, and their impacts for developers in the Apple eco system. Meanwhile, Dave Nott went unexpectedly viral with a tweet about ARKit and the Mac Pro...

Email vs Slack and yet more rumoured delays for Intels 10 nanometer CPUs. If it's to be believed, we could be in for many more "lakes" before we get a 10nm MacBook Pro. Music by Broke For Free Attribution 3.0 United States (CC BY 3.0 US)

Dave Wood has a new Mac Mini, and we've had a boat load of leaks. Rumours abound for the upcoming releases of iOS 13 and macOS 10.15. Something tells us WWDC is going to be quite something this year. Music by Broke For Free Attribution 3.0 United States (CC BY 3.0 US)

Dave Nott has a coffee related dilemma with his Aeropress, and sets out to trial something new. Dave Wood decides to finally upgrade his machine at home.

Apple's March 25th event announced new services for TV, finance and games. What do these mean for two iOS devs who like to discuss all things Apple?

After reflecting on last weeks special episode with Shawn King, we discuss how we're both having to take an incremental approach to our indie development right now, doing little by little when time allows. We talk about how we keep motivated when progress can seem to be so slow and how we might adjust our schedules keep things sustainable.

We are super lucky this week to be joined by Shawn King from the podcast Your Mac Life. Shawn started podcasting about Apple nearly 25 years ago, before the word podcast was even a thing.
