Announcements

Yoo, happy New Year! I'm so sorry for the delay, but my Macbook was broken for almost a month and I didn't have my quality index bot on Git, so I couldn't build the Newsletter. Now I got my Mac and we'll be back with this weekly newsletter. A lot of things changed in my life and I started 2017 with a blog post talking about my goals for this year. There's a lot about AwesomeiOS and this newsletter on it, so you should check it out. - Lucas

Announcements

Hello people, how are you doing? We just reached 350 subscribers 🎉 The past 2 weeks have been really hard because of my freelance projects. I'm really enjoying my first months as a full time freelancer, but it can also be overwhelming when you're working on 7 projects at the same time. Last week I wrote a blog post about Beta Testing tools, but it is not ready yet... So this week I'm featuring Ash Furrow's post about "Naming Things in Swift". I love to read about how I can code better and I'm always using Swiftlint on my projects, as well as periodically checking Ray Wenderlich's Style Guide, but Ash went even further on explaining how to better name things. -- Lucas

Hey guys, I've been saying for a long time that we're working on our website. It's ALMOST ready, really!. This week's Awesome post of the week is from Jesse Squires: "Prioritization, Or how I learned to stop worrying and love being a normal human". He discusses burnout and how life is not just about programming and working 100% of the time, specially in Open Source. Made me think a lot on how I used to work like an alien in the past and how my life is more balanced now. In case you don't know, you can check the past issues over here

After many weeks, OUR WEBSITE IS FINALLY OUT 🎉🎉🎉

We also just finished our new Twitter bot, which will tweet every single new library added in AwesomeiOS.

This week's featured post is "How I Fight Procrastination and Usually Win", by Bill Morefield. He discusses the pros (yes, there are positive things about procastinating) and the cons and also how to overcome it.

Announcements

Past week has been crazy! After our new website, we now have 600+ subscribers. My work this week has also been a little bit different since I'm working in Objective-c for a freelance project. AwesomeiOS' repo has been busy, with 16 PRs only in the past 7 days. We're definitely growing in contributors, which is Awesome!

This week's featured post is Getting to 10x (Results): What Any Developer Can Learn from the Best, by Eric Elliott. I don't believe much in 10x, but Eric talks about different stuff that we can do to improve ourselves: "Pick 1 thing to improve on this week and focus on it relentlessly" 💡🙌

So, as you guys may know, AwesomeiOS.Weekly stopped for a while. That happened because I got a lot of freelance projects and I didn’t want to do everything because I don’t want another burnout. I also recently wrote a blog post about my experience as a freelancer, so check it out!

Now I’m more organized with my time and I’ll be able to spend time curating cool libraries and links for this newsletter that currently has 1,432 subscribers

NSSpain 2017 talks are now online. I didn’t have time to watch all of them but one of my favorites was John Sundell’s talk called “Everyone is an API designer”.

Paul Hudson announced on Twitter that he just launched the Swift Community Awards, which celebrates the excellence in app development. People have until October 30th to vote for the Developer of the year, Best Newsletter, Best Conference, Best open-source project and so much more!

AwesomeiOS.Weekly [11]

Announcements

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.

Announcements

Happy new year everyone! We (Vinicius and Lucas) spent the past month thinking about what we created in the past 3.5 years and how AwesomeiOS is today. One of our main goals in 2018 is to make a stronger newsletter and a stronger website so the community can better access the huge amount of information that is currently in the Github repository.

The first thing you can expect is the model of this week: 2 blog posts and 5 libraries per week, being delivered to you every Thursday. Second thing is that we'll have a new design of the newsletter, making it prettier and easier to read.
