Waiting For Review

After another week of frustration, Dave Nott begins to doubt the merits of continuing development with SwiftUI. Would it be easier to down tools and move back to the safety of UIKit to get the job finished? We also discuss the newly announced Mac and iOS App Bundles and go on a rant about free trials and upgrade pricing.

Dave Wood is in week 3 of moving his app from paid to freemium, and is beginning to have some regret. He's discovered some confounding factors, and maybe the opportunity is not what he thought it was.

Both Daves have spent the last week working with SwiftUI. It's quickly becoming apparent that there are some things it simply can't do at this point. Is it the right technology to choose when starting a new app? Or will we regret jumping in on the new shiny? Meanwhile, all this cross-platform development is making Dave Nott consider a development iPad.

Dave Nott discovers some upcoming legislation that could have a big impact on an app he's making. Meanwhile Dave Wood catches up with his app's performance since making it free, and where the app is heading next.

Can an app do better in the App Store by moving to a freemium model... Dave Wood is running an experiment with his video mixing app, GoVJ. He's setting it to free, in an effort to run the numbers, to see how things might fare if he changed his pricing model. Will things add up ?

Episode 150!

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 (https://twitter.com/wfrpodcast) Dave Nott (https://twitter.com/_davenott) Dave Wood (https://twitter.com/davidgarywood) Music by Broke For Free (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Broke_For_Free/Something_EP/Broke_For_Free-Something_EP-_05_Something_Elated) License, CC Attribution 3 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/)

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.

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?

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 (https://twitter.com/wfrpodcast) Dave Nott (https://twitter.com/_davenott) Dave Wood (https://twitter.com/davidgarywood) Music by Broke For Free (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Broke_For_Free/Something_EP/Broke_For_Free-Something_EP-_05_Something_Elated) License, CC Attribution 3 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/)

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 (https://twitter.com/wfrpodcast).

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?

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.

We're joined by our good friend Daryl Baxter. A writer and podcaster who covers gaming with a vintage lens, iPad, and Apple. We catch up and chat about Apple Arcade, iPad OS and what might be coming from Apple this October.

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.
