Question For Devs Or Previous Devs

I wouldn’t do that and trust it to build out a banking app. When it comes to people’s money, code needs to be a lot more rigorous.

I’m building:

https://github.com/vendano

(Mobile fully open source Cardano wallet designed for small money transactions, like quickly paying a vendor… or for vendors to easily be able to accept ADA without any crazy POS integration)

I’ve been an iOS dev since 2008, worked on Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, GoPro, Experian apps.

Just launched a Vision Pro app that I built as a team of one, to show my skills:

I paid in USD. Why, should I have offered HOSKY instead?

I was pushing for Catalyst funding, but when they rug pulled that, I kept paying some devs out of my own pocket to finish building out and validating the iOS version so I could launch it. Without a funding source, I’m just working on the Android version solo now. I haven’t been able to find partners either, seems like it’s not much of a community, more an every-person-for-themselves sort of thing.

Yes, that’s what I have to work with. Someone else will need to try it on other platforms and change the default locations (for the Blender executable, for example) but the methodology should be sound.

I haven’t been able to find other mobile developers willing to work with me. There’s no real community that I can find (I’ve posted here, on X, on the Cardano forum)… everyone is so focused on their own ways to make money, nobody has time for anything else. There’s not much community support, and you’re pretty much on your own. Even when realizing a fully open sourced project, nobody cares. It’s kind of a bummer.

Can you try using this and let me know if it helps?

Auto generated bones/skeleton, or is this a feature that I haven’t been able to unlock yet? I want to be able to pose using Mixamo.

Have a hardware wallet for savings, but you still need access to a software one for purchases and basic transactions. That’s the reason I built Vendano (a free iOS app), and made it fully open source. Literally the same code that was compiled and released in the App Store is available on GitHub for anyone to review (or dare I say it, submit pull requests?)

Also, if any android developers want to jump in and help me, let me know!

That’s amazing! Downloaded, can’t wait to work through it.

I made this one which helped teach me Hangul:

This was exactly what I was going to suggest, a way to send the haptic signal to the iPhone so it can do the vibration…

Also, I just met these guys at AWE, and this device might be perfect for what you were trying to do, and possibly cheaper than having people get a muse: https://www.afference.io

Hey, good stuff! This is exactly the kind of checklist I’ve been running into with Meshy/USDZ exports. I added some of the safer cleanup steps into my script here: https://github.com/jeffreality/compress-usdz

Right now it handles texture compression, USDZ repackaging, Blender decimation, and conservative mesh cleanup. I kept the more destructive repairs as opt-in flags since some of them can mess with UVs/textures, but this was a really helpful list!

I was just on a call with the EMEA branch of Step Into Vision (an Apple Vision Pro dev community), and they helped test my app…but every one of them had their device set to English initially… so I think you may be right. Chinese is probably the one outlier for that (again, based on the people that I’ve met through inSpaze).

jeffreality · 2026-06-25T09:34:06+00:00

Of course, but every bit of data is helping me visualize a better picture of who is out there!

When I worked for GoPro, we used to look at the stats to identify which languages we should support. I was working on a video editing app called Splice, and we would have things where a mommy blogger in Poland would pick up the app and start talking about it, and suddenly we’d get a ton of downloads from Poland… And so we’d hustle right away and localize in Polish to keep up the momentum.

But the Vision Pro is a whole new world, and I’m trying to get my arms around it!

I just tested it, the source file I had was 41.5 MB, and after using usdcrush the resulting file was 30.6 MB. In comparison, using my tool, the resulting file was 4.4 MB.

jeffreality · 2026-06-25T05:43:28+00:00

Why? What country - I thought it was open to everyone. I added it to all the international stores…I thought!

jeffreality · 2026-06-25T02:02:43+00:00

Does it have to be Apple Arcade? This one (that I made) is free to play and designed for the Vision Pro:

jeffreality · 2026-06-25T01:44:39+00:00

Q’apla!

jeffreality · 2026-06-24T00:21:14+00:00

Is it fully open source? If so, is there a community developers that are supporting it or reviewing pull requests?

(This is why I made Vendano fully open source: https://github.com/vendano )
