![]() ![]() I made this app for me! I made it as a learning experience and for something I would personally use. I decided I would take the time in between feedings, cryings, and sleeps (which isn’t much) to prep it for the App Store. I had a weird amount of “free time” since I’m currently on family leave (me and my wife just had our first child). I didn’t want to keep making new betas to fight the expiriation so the App Store seemed like the right path to go. I was still using An Otter RSS every day though! I just didn’t know what I wanted to do with it yet.įast forward to a few weeks ago and my beta app expired □ My users wanted it back and I wanted it back for them. I got consumed by the Shortcuts and the App Store Connect API. I was also building ConnectKit at the time. I let this app sit for a while because I was happy with it. I decided to keep going on this RSS reader and shared it on and got a lot more passionate testers than I expected □ I shared my progress on Twitter and I had a lot of people seem interested in it. I made a quick and dirty prototype that shared a list of feeds and articles in about five hours. It turns out (at that time) I couldn’t find one that I liked. But I did want my feeds to sync between my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. ![]() I wasn’t going to be a power user so I wasn’t looking to pay for anything that required a subscription. I’ve never been a big RSS reader but this seemed like the time to get into it. I realized I wanted to keep up with all the blogs I was finding. I was ending reading a lot of Swift and SwiftUI blogs since I didn’t really know what I was doing at the time. This app was my first app built completely in SwiftUI. I was developing another app in July of 2020. After five months, I’m finally releasing it to the public! I originally started working on and released the initial beta version of An Otter RSS in August of 2020. Today is the day! It’s been a long time coming.
