Show HN: SimTag – See the active Git branch directly in iOS Simulator
https://digitalbunker.dev/simtag-context-for-your-ios-simulators/
I kept running into the same problem while working across multiple worktrees and clones.Feature branch in one window. Hotfix in another. PR review in a third. With multiple AI coding sessions pushing builds to different simulators, it became very easy to lose track of what branch a running build actually came from.The iOS Simulator gives you no branch context - every window looks identical.I...
Show HN: I built a simple, fast transit app for the Bay Area
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/commuter-bay-area-transit/id6743379862
Hey HN,I built Commuter because I was tired of switching between different apps to check arrival times for BART, Caltrain, Muni, ferries, and more. This app pulls directly from the official 511 API and aims to provide a fast, clean experience focused on real-time departures.There’s no account creation, it’s free to use, and it supports every major transit provider in the Bay Area—from Napa down...

Congrats on the success! I just started a newsletter - Indie Watch (http://indie.watch/) - that features cool apps built by indie iOS developers.
Would you mind if I featured your app in our first release?
Since it's our first release, I can't guarantee any results or conversions, but the mailing list has a few hundred people on it, so it couldn't hurt...

Show HN: Wrote a Free eBook for Junior iOS Developers
Ever since I created my first Xcode project back in 2015, I've been maintaining a notebook where I documented everything I was learning.Whether it was a novel code snippet, a particularly challenging bug, or noteworthy insight from a more seasoned engineer - it would all go into the notebook. Over time that notebook became 200+ pages and I've distilled it down into this eBook.It's filled with...
Show HN: iOS app to help me hit my daily step goals
In 2020, I started walking more and more. I was annoyed with having to constantly check my phone to see my step count and plotting a route that was sufficiently long enough.Over the next few weeks, I built Walking Route, which lets you generate a custom route of any length or quickly generate routes 5,000 steps or 10,000 steps in length. Plus, the route will always return you back to where you...

Awesome Viewer for GitHub's Awesome Lists: http://awesome.digitalbunker.dev/
I've been working on a viewer for Github's Awesome lists to make them more useable. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm close.
With most of the lists being text based, it was hard to know if the repo it linked to was still being maintained and popular enough to safely use in personal projects.
Now anyone that uses my project can easily visualize all of the repos and query them to find projects that are still actively maintained.

Show HN: An open-source translation memory for mobile developers
I’ve always wanted to localize my personal apps, but I found it to be too expensive. Since many apps share the same vocabulary (News Feed, Dashboard, Forgot Password, Take Photo), it seemed silly to pay to translate words that some other development team must have previously paid to translate.So, I’ve created an open-source translation memory for all iOS developers to benefit from. I processed...

You're absolutely right. The attached code was for 40K and I just mislabeled the graph. I've updated it - thanks for catching that!
