Over the last year I've slowly been writing this 7,000 word post telling the story of @Stocketa and document its design. Stocketa was my iOS portfolio tracker app—a 2.5 year side project I designed, built.. and never launched. 🧵

📱 Okay here’s some TestFlight invites for my side project @StocketaApp: testflight.apple.com/join/3dZwTVhS Only works for U.S. stocks because reasons. Expect various bugs and issues. 🐞 Learn more about it: Stocketa.com

Haven’t forgotten about Stocketa, just been having so much fun working on @RewindAI ✨ I’ll probably just open a testflight for good at some point. Not sure I want to manage a full App Store release and support it right now 🙃

getting closer to launch.. lots of small admin/testing tasks left. I started building a (messy) admin dashboard using @retool to help with minor tasks. Today I built a way to set and show an app status banner so I have an easy way to message any potential app issues or info

✨ Designed and built a new way to interact with stocks to access details, holdings, etc for @StocketaApp. The amount of work this took to make this all functional and feel seamless (still some things left to fix/tweak of course) was insane.

One more widget type 🤓

Built a 3rd widget type: single stock/crypto price. Lets you toggle if you want to see gain/loss if you have shares added in @StocketaApp The color rail on the side changes depending on performance this is the last new feature before launch (I say that a lot 😅)

inspired by robb's explorations with .anchorPreference I prototyped an alternate stock focus state for @StocketaApp tapping the stock instantiates an identical view in the exact position in an overlay where i have it placed in a scrollview where i can add related views

in case you were wondering, it's not possible to migrate a Business Apple Developer account back to an Individual account. You have to create a new account.. but if the org was a single-member LLC using an SSN, not EIN, you can't fully create a new individual account 😤

@zac_siegel @Stammy there's a lot of upcoming videos about the charts (here's one of like 4 i saw developers.apple.com/videos/play/ww…) so it will be interesting to see. but so far nothing hints at the ability to have a scrub gesture which would be a deal breaker.

Happy 20-for-1 Amazon Stock Split day I’ve been rewriting my stock split functionality and learning a lot about the details of splits. Like what happens when you purchase shares of a stock after the record date but before the split ex-date. Good read: money.stackexchange.com/questions/1298…

just a simple if oldValue != newValue {} (assuming you have a way to access the old value) helps with unnecessary view redraws and code running i had a gnarly section where i interpolate a bunch of things based on scroll and was dropping frames, adding this check helped

Little SwiftUI performance tip: when you're doing something where a chunk of code may get called a ton (like an onChange() or working with drag gesture changes or scroll offsets etc), add a simple conditional to check the new value is different than the last value

lesson learned: don't spend too much time only testing in the simulator because a long period of time will pass and then you'll realize you introduced some performance issue that you couldn't notice in the simulator but is really obvious on device 🤦‍♂️ (took 4 hours but i fixed it)
