Retrospective Jan 28 – Feb 3/ Planning Feb 4 – Feb 10

“Always forward”

– Henry ‘Pop’ Hunter (Luke Cage)

I felt like I was spinning my wheels this past week. When I look back, I realize that I made progress but it didn’t feel like it when I was “in the weeds”.

Learning Cocoa (iOS/macOS):

This week I completed the Beginning CloudKit on iOS course on RayWenderlich.com. I’m implementing CloudKit in the apps that I’m working on and the course served as a great introduction for using the framework.

Puffin (iOS): Daily Standup App

I updated the icon for the app to correspond with the name change (the old name was Ubu) but I couldn’t fight my love of puffins any longer. I wanted to revisit what I learned in the Skillshare Letter Design class I took last year. I’ll keep iterating over it as I work on the app.

Gobo (iOS): Nomad Travel Log

Using the aforementioned CloudKit course, I was able to get my record types created on the iCloud. After getting some feedback from my weekly demos, I am updating a few of the screens and implementing the local cache (using CoreData) and syncing with CloudKit. Screenshots coming next week with the beta!

Voice Over Work:

I completed the short story narration and was introduced to another option for voice overs, Audiobook Creation Exchange (ACX). I’ll be auditioning for projects there this week.

Health:

Another week in which I closed all of my rings in the Activity App!  Bad news is I forgot to wear my watch on my Monday trek to Guatapé so I’ll have to start a new streak. My average step count is down as this week but I’ll get it back up this week with more walking.

Reading List:

Didn’t get to Black Panther yet. I really have to stay off the internet and stop watching footage and non-spoiler reviews.
