Submitting My First App the Night Before iOS 27

From the creator

I'm submitting my first app to the App Store tonight, the night before iOS 27 lands, and it's technically not ready for iOS 27 yet. In this update I walk through how I drew the icon by hand from the S and the R using Allan Peters' Logos That Last exercises, why every other app in this category uses a pencil or a microphone and mine doesn't, and how the menus got simpler based on your feedback. The whole thing runs on a local model on your phone, and it's one flat price, no subscription, yours forever. I spent 12 years as an engineer at Apple, and now I build apps live on stream with AI tools and share the whole process as I go.

AI Maker Residence at KOKO

The third AI workshop taught by our legendary teacher, Nick Sarafa. In one of the last events we did an asset manager raised an additional £25M on their fund within a space of 9 months. This is a full-day hands-on training workshop for purposeful co-creation with AI using Claude Code. Imagine having access to hundreds of billions of dollars of computing power and knowing exactly how to make it work for you through the power of super intelligence. One person did.
