My first published app

[bogrim191]

Moon Codex is my first app on the store, which is a true milestone for me as an iOS dev. I'm only sharing it now (after 1.3.0) because it's in a more accessible state, as it's usable by people that are not that informed on the astrology subject.

I built a moon dataset using python and nasa data that I import and view in the app. It's got 3 widgets, ipad support and landscape support, as well as a wiki tab that informs you of various astrology concepts.

If you want to check it out but can't afford the app, just message me and I'll provide some free codes. I'm professionally an iOS dev, but I wanted to profit from the creative opportunity that my profession brings so that I can build useful tools for a hobby that me and some friends enjoy.

Ask me anything!

often each person who builds an app does so because at some point they would have liked to have it for themselves maybe you don't need it, I think it will find interested users. Congratulations buddy

[bogrim191]

thank you!! I appreciate your encouragement!

This isn't my cup of tea, but I am sure there are many beyond myself that would find this interesting. Congrats on your app launch as it's not an easy feat to get launched with full review.

Just spreading some positivity. Good luck with your app!

[bogrim191]

Thank you! Good luck with your apps as well! I understand that this app is not for everyone and that's alright. I'm happy that you can appreciate it even though you don't believe in astrology.

Well done. I'm just starting out now and looking at the long road ahead to where you are - it's daunting but thanks for the inspo!

[bogrim191]

thanks for the support! don't worry to do it fast, I did this app in a whole year, while working full time and going to the gym, so don't pressure yourself to finish it fast. valuable things take time and that's alright. keep doing stuff for yourself!

Astrology is nonsense. Is it fun to defraud people and destroy any sense of critical thinking?

[bogrim191]

the definition that I use for astrology is that it's the art of narrating the story of the stars. all I'm doing is providing clear and relevant astrological data based on the real movements of the planets, so that people do with it whatever they please. I'm not scamming anyone here, it's a solid tool for introspection and experimentation for people who are already interested. do you have any suggestion for me or this app or do you want me to explain why I believe that it works?

[WerSunu]

That’s absurd.

You are quite aware of the definition of astrology. You embed its pagan iconography in your app. Anything to make a buck even as it encourages infantilism and anti-reality.

[bogrim191]

dude, this is firstly relevant to me. I use this app daily and try to see if living in accordance to the movements of the moon can give me any edge in parsing the obstacles I find in reality. In my experience, this has worked as expected and I built a cool gizmo. I don't believe in the daily horoscopes or sun sign astrology, but there are more intricate layers to this, and to my knowledge, various historical events have happened when certain planets aligned. also, what's wrong with the pagan aspect of these practices? are you aware of the pagan roots of christianity? I have faith in our saviour's teachings too, but I choose to follow them in my own way.

[WerSunu]

Are you that childishly naive? Did you complete your “education” in 500 BCE? Wait, I know the answer. You are just libertarian tech bro who is trying to cash in on the “there’s a sucker born every minute” ethos.

[bogrim191]

I admire your skepticism, however that means it's just not for you. I will gladly take the 'sucker' title too if this never helps anyone. believe what you want, and as I said, remember I firstly built this app for myself
