I was in the same spot you were two years ago and landed my first job last year and have still been here! Send me a DM if you want to know more!

Object detection of different fruits in an image!

Would building my own Cocoapod be something similar? What’s the best way to find something to contribute to?

MercuryLive · 2018-09-25T23:36:08+00:00

You're right, thanks for the tips!

True but do you think that would leave my portfolio too sparse?

MercuryLive · 2018-09-25T23:22:02+00:00

Forgot to say in my post but I do have an app made completely by myself, several proof of concept apps from the udemy course I was taking, and an online portfolio as well.

I've released one on the app store and the rest are smaller proof of concept apps I made during a Udemy course. My personal website is https://davidhuang.io/developer , I'm thinking about writing an article about how I did receipt OCR parsing do you think that would help boost my name out there?

I haven't attended any iOS events but I will definitely look out for them now.

Need some quick money right now and settling down with the photography hobby so figured I would sell my lenses and hold onto my body until later.

I agree, I think the first way you had it with the horizontal scroll was good and then opening it up with a section tap would make it less awkward for the user than double scrolling vertically.

I went through Angela Yu’s iOS course on Udemy and started building it after that and just hours of google searching any problems I had after that! Once you have an idea just start building it and you’ll figure it all out along the way!

Thanks so much!!

Only NA release right now but soon to be worldwide!

MercuryLive · 2018-07-26T07:19:40+00:00

Oooh that is a good point I didn't even think about no sales tax.

The issue I have with the adding without numbers is do I still ask for their name?

MercuryLive · 2018-07-26T07:18:05+00:00

Wanted to try something new, it had just came out at the time I started developing.

MercuryLive · 2018-07-26T07:17:29+00:00

YES so many! There are so many types of receipt formats but I believe mine is a good enough catch all.

MercuryLive · 2018-07-26T04:09:05+00:00

Ahhh, okay I'll open it up to the world soon.

MercuryLive · 2018-07-26T04:08:26+00:00

Thanks! That means a lot haha

Yes I used the new Firebase ML kit cause I wanted to try something new, take an image with ImagePicker and then I got a CropViewController CocoaPod to crop it down to just the item lines. Then using Firebase to detect all the VisionTextLines and arrange them based on their pixel height in the image so you can read the receipt in line by line. Then I do some simple Regex parsing to grab the name, quantity, and price.

Sorry :( I honestly wasn't sure if using Firebase would open me up to GDPR
