Shipped this project!

I made the more polished version of WordGarden, an iOS app that helps you grow and organize ideas. Some features are not finished yet but half of the app is polished, the core and some related functions worked.
I learned a lot about building an app from scratch, figuring out how features fit together and dealing with problems that come up when things don’t work the way I expect. I also learned how important it is to keep testing while building. KEEP BUILDING KEPP TESTING!

**NOTE: Pls don’t use GitHub release, use TestFlight link instead.

I made the updated version of WordGarden, v1.0.8 , WordGarden is an iOS app that helps you grow and organize ideas. A few features are not finished yet and the app isn’t fully polished, but the core works.

I learned a lot about building an app from scratch, planning the app, figuring out how features fit together and dealing with problems that come up when things don’t work the way I expect. I also learned how important it is to keep testing while building.

Widget

Widget data syncing finally works, perfectly. Spent like 2 hours reading the Apple dev docs, but worth it, cuz finally bridged the gap between the main app and the widget.

The hardest part isn’t the UI, is getting the app and the widget extension to actually talk to each other. becuz they are in separate sandboxes (i hate dat)

worked on some suggestions by @The-Wolf ,
-fixed zooming slide bar overlap
-stop playing definition or text to speech after leaving the word details page

To be fixed: for vocab with 2 or more word, it only fetches the first word’s definition

Just added a build version for development, when click Run in xcode, it generate a new build number and build date automatically. though it’s for developent, it can still be useful when user got a bug and dev can check and fix it more easily.
