I'm checking out YouHQ by @ryantoken. Right away I can see the value that this app can provide to someone. If you think that might be you, ask to get on the TestFlight!

@ellenich You can get pretty close to this in Maps so I don't see why not. A common practice I've seen is to hide the sidebar while the inspector is open. Have you considered that?

Okay, time to move the demo code over into the real app. Unfortunately I deployed to production for testing myself just before I made all these changes so that complicates things a bit but it should be as easy as creating a new V2 CloudKit Container and using that. Wish me luck on the migration!

🚨 New app alert!

YouHQ: Your life, organized.

A reference guide for life's important details.

Where's all my money? What paint color did I use in the bedroom? When's my next oil change?

For years I kept this stuff in a big, unstructured Apple Note. It was always out of date and a hassle to maintain.

So I built a nice, native app to keep it all clean and organized. It's in beta on TestFlight now.

I broke out my new DB architecture and encryption into a demo app and this is the result. I can very easily add new credential types with minimal effort and it’s all secure.

Does anyone think the Mac mini will get any updated next week?

One more reason to get Dev Creds over the line

I have half a mind to rename this app to Byte Me

This is going to set my (arbitrary) timeline back a small bit but wow will the app be in a better spot come launch. I also feel I now have the time and space to slow down, take my time, and really think things through. It feels good.

All of this while being super secure, learning a bunch and having so much fun. Sometimes it’s not about what you end up shipping but the journey along the way. Couldn’t be more excited!

At the same time I laid out a new generic schema approach for the database and now have out of the box support for so many more use cases. I’ll be able to launch with API credentials, username/passwords, software licenses, database credentials, signing certificates and so much more!

I’m so happy I did. It now seems to be in a rock solid state, reduce the LOC by a huge amount, and made the mental model for it all so much easier to grasp.

This is what I did with Dev Creds last night and today. As soon as I pushed to prod and started doing more testing last night, I came across some real annoyances. I decide to scrap my encryption syncing approach and try again.

As developers we don’t throw away enough code. Don’t get attached. Try, scrap it and move on when you realize something is better.
