Hello there! I hope the summer (or winter, depending on where you are) is treating you well. We've had a seriously exhausting ~2 weeks of 35-40 °C (95-104 °F) heat here in Europe, but it's finally cooling off—phew! 🥵 Here are some life updates from me. Joining SoFiLast week, I announced that Composer (where I worked full-time as the iOS lead) has been acquired by SoFi. Both our Composer team and product will continue to live on and eventually integrate into the SoFi Invest product. I'm super excited about this as it allows us to bring our intelligent trading tools into the hands of millions. Leaving SWWGI've decided to leave the Swift Website Workgroup after 4 years. It's been really fun to serve the community over these years and seeing Swift.org change. It looks a whole lot different now from when I joined! Over the last year or so, I haven't really had the time to give the workgroup my all (and I don't like half-assing it), so it was time for me to leave and focus on other things. Balance iOS betaOne of the things I've had more time for lately is Balance for iOS (and iPadOS). It's by far the most common request I get for Balance, and I'm really excited to now have launched the private beta. The iOS app currently only supports an out-of-app experience—live activities and push notifications—nothing inside the actual app, but I'm working on that.
Balance iOS live activity You can get access to the beta by joining the Balance community (it's a free Discord channel). What's happening in your life? Anything you're especially excited about? Reply to this email and let me know! 💌 Kind regards, |
