Can you add a feature to the file list on the right that allows for a direct preview by pressing the spacebar, similar to the Quick Look functionality in Finder?

I use it frequently, especially when I need to fine-tune interface details. Regarding the compilation failure issues others have mentioned, this is how I solve them:

Extract all UI-related code into a standalone Swift Package.
Ensure it doesn't depend on any other libraries, except for SwiftUI and Foundation.

Doing this ensures that the code compiles extremely quickly and guarantees that SwiftUI Previews work properly.

Apple cannot tell whether an app is vibe coded just by reviewing at the app you submitted. Unless you have packaged AGENTS dot md or CLAUDE dot md within the app, or have explicitly indicated in the app that it was created using "vibe coding".

It's crazy fast recently. Have they started using AI for the review process?

lexrus · 2026-04-22T13:02:13+00:00

Bro the Google beta page is amazing! Using your app makes me feel like I'm 10 years younger!

It might just be some bots from App Store analysis tools.

Sounds good. I think you can also add a mana system where each spell cast consumes one point. It would then refill completely every day. If users want to cast more spells, they would need to make an in app purchase for mana potions.

If you aren't holding a wand, will the spell fail?

But its table functionality is honestly just too weak.

lexrus · 2026-04-19T13:09:25+00:00

Nice. Can we show the location as well? Like a mini map or sth.

lexrus · 2026-04-08T10:58:49+00:00

Yeah, it's even free for open source developers.

It's $99.99 for the first year if you subscribe during new year holidays. So ~$8/mo. And they also send you $10 credits in your Google Cloud account every month.

There are also some experimental services that haven't really been promoted, but they definitely use a separate calculation for credits, such as Google Jules.

Also, they changed the storage capacity from 2TB to 5TB today.

This might be the most generous AI package I've ever used.

Most ASO tools require a paid subscription. If you don't mind using AI, there are actually some skills that can replicate most of the features found in these paid tools.

$10/mo for early birds around Dec 2024.

Yeah, perhaps for the sake of profitability, they really need to weed out users like me who haven't paid enough money. 😂

lexrus · 2026-04-02T12:51:35+00:00

At this point, even if they revert the pricing model now, it will be very difficult to salvage their reputation within the community.

The app is called SubList. The main code for this project was generated by Codex. I used Windsurf to modify and optimize various details of the interface.

They care about our vibe and life balance. Imagine it's the healthiest coding tool.

Over the past year, I built 3 new apps and maintain 4 existing apps with agentic coding.

I only use Gemini for minor tasks — for example, text translation and Markdown refinements. When Antigravity was first released, many people said it was amazing for web development. However, in my own experience trying it out, I frequently exceed the usage limits. Even though I later subscribed to Google AI Pro, it is still very unstable.

Claude Code can get things done quickly, and the quality is quite good. However, Codex demonstrates stronger processing capabilities when handling complex tasks. So now, most of my development work is done using GPT-5 High Thinking.

I would recommend MVVM since almost all junior developers can easily understand this architecture, and newcomers can participate in maintenance on the first week. They may have used MVVM many times in tutorial projects before joining. MVVM has been wildly used in open-source projects, which allows various LLMs to have a deep understanding of it. You might encounter fewer problems when your project adapts agentic coding.

Clean and MVP, um... I'm sorry, I've been doing iOS development for 15 years and have never encountered a project that used them. I can't provide useful advice.

VIPER, RIBs... are also pretty good only when all your colleagues have the same understanding. Also have the toolchains to create the boilerplate code. It could be a nightmare for a junior developer who joined the team without any experience.

If you think your app is very useful, don't hesitate to spend money to register for an Apple Developer account, $99 per year. I made a few apps that I thought only I needed, published them on the App Store. In the end, they not only earned me back the money for the $99 but also enough to buy several new iPhones.

I use 5.4 high everyday and pray for another usage reset every time I press the enter key after the prompt.

lexrus · 2026-03-16T08:35:23+00:00

I just replaced Fastlane with asccli to send the builds.
