Hello! Welcome to this week's AwesomeiOS.Weekly. This and last week's newsletters were written thanks to 2 Python scripts. The first one, which has been helping me since the first issue, takes an array of Github links, calls CocoaPods' API and writes the whole library list, leaving me with the task of writing a summary.
The second script, which I and Vinicius created and open sourced last week, calls Github's API, gets my latest AwesomeiOSWeekly.md gist, converts it to html and adds css, header and footer. I plan to make both scripts even better in the next following weeks to make my life easier and provide better content for you.
This week's featured blog post is My Guide for Great Developer Experience (DX) written by Sam Jarman. He talks about how to improve developer-facing products (APIs, SDKs, open source libraries). I couldn't agree with Sam more with this post! I was able to think of good and also bad exemples of how companies/tools succeed/failed on different aspects of what it takes to have a good DX.
