All good; validates that I'm at least on the right track! Had to pare back my ambitions quite a bit to get _something_ finished before the iOS11 launch.

I didn't expect the reception to be so enthusiastic for v1 tbh; but I guess I chose a good place to call it an "MVP"

I'm really interested in the growth of ML on mobile apps. Did you test the ability to call existing ML APIs in the cloud and found they weren't responsive enough, or did it just feel more natural to run the net locally?

I've played with AWS Rekognition a little bit. It's definitely WAY faster to do it on-device. Plus it works even in Airplane mode.

I'm running the iOS11 Vision stuff, my own text recognition CoreML neural network (81 times per loop), plus all the ARKit stuff and I can still get 30-60 fps on my iPhone 7+
