MyCntdwn Is Still Being Used

In late 2019, I removed my first app, MyCntdwn, from the App Store. It was a sad day for me, but it was also time. I had been hemming and hawing on whether I wanted to continue to support MyCntdwn (and Showers: White Noise Generator). I finally decided to stop…

Stopwatch Project

I'm still looking for a new project to work on. Previously, I had mentioned that I built a Podcast Downloader. That project will (still) likely never see the light of day. I've also been working on something else. This is a replica of Apple's Stopwatch functionality in the Clock app.…

Podcast Downloader

Since I stopped working on Beer Style Guidelines, I have been looking for something to work on. I've tinkered with a few things here and there. Nothing really stuck until recently. I just finished a small project. I wrote a small app to download podcast episodes. I have two music…

My Development Toolbox (2022 Edition)

Beer Style Guidelines 2022.4

Beer Style Guidelines 2022.4 has been released. This update includes the following: * I’ve re-added all older guides. If it used to be in the app, it’s in the app again. * I think I’ve also fixed the favoriting of BJCP (2015 & 2021) 20A, 20B, & 20C. I am…

The Future of Beer Style Guidelines

I shipped the first version of Beer Style Guidelines on Jun 26, 2015. I’ve been supporting the app in an on and off fashion since then. There was a two-year hiatus when I didn’t ship any updates to the app. That’s over seven years of updates and…
