@Robi_makes_stuff (Robi) made the macOS client of Odit open source. I just forked it, and I will see if I can help him ship it to the App Store or other stores (since macOS apps do not need to be from the App Store necessarily). I personally admire Robi and his attention to detail when it comes to UI/UX. I may nudge him to take this project seriously and maintain his support, because I assume there is a lot to be done.

When it comes to automatic sync of financial insight, both Totals (from Detached Space) and Odit made their way around, and it is joyful to see how creative they got with it all to bypass the App Store policies.

Ledgerly and these two products do not solve the same problem. And if we are talking business, I don’t think our market niche is similar to each other’s. At the end of the day, the community wins in having options to choose from according to their needs and priorities.

Treat this as the first memo I write after fully accepting to father Odit for Apple ecosystem from the Odit-pappa himself.

If the tech bros/tech baddies in the community (creators) run for the House of Representatives seat, who would you choose and why?

Babi should create an extensive poll as usual

The invite for TestFlight access of Ledgerly should be there (under Novarch LLC)

WWDC26 will be a little different for me. After working as an iOS developer for more than 4 years and publishing apps and SDKs for clients and employers, I have finally enrolled in the Apple Developer Program with the Wyoming LLC I formed.

Enrolling in the developer program has been difficult from Ethiopia, which has prevented me from shipping my own iOS apps. And the most I could do with my skills and the resources I have was push my code to GitHub and make each personal project a public repo to signal competence to potential employers and clients.

But this year, I have 2 apps in an external beta testing phase through TestFlight. Both apps are close to my heart when it comes to the problems they try to address. Last week, I invited interested testers and shared the initial beta builds for Ledgerly and HandleMe.

That's why this WWDC will be different for me. I have got things going on as an indie developer, and I hope to be building a lot of cool products and shipping them to the App Store.

If you see this account for the first time, hey! I am Yohannes Haile. I build apps for the iPhone. And now I can ship them too, for a personal cause.

Usually, it wouldn't take me 5 minutes to get the first reaction on my posts

Now, it feels like I am nobody
