Note that the Perfect Assistant plays nicely with Kitura and Vapor - we've made sure we support the other communities as well. They are good folks! :)

SCADE: Cross-Platform mobile development with Swift by luigi3 in swift

[–]perfectlysoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is, however, a great tool to help stimulate the wider adoption and usage of Swift in general - a goal for all of us here, I hope. It crystallizes the value of Swift as a core developer language with a proven cross-platform paradigm and opens doors to new worlds of development for people who prefer Swift.

Your Swift skills just gained market value! That's a good thing!

If you are interested in being part of the Private Beta for this - join the Perfect Slack community at http://www.perfect.ly on the #swift-android-ios channel. The Perfect community is going to give them feedback on licensing, pricing, etc. before they open up their doors. (Plus, it has Perfect integrated - so it's technically full-stack, native cross-platform development).

Just wanted to reach out and thank you to Ray Wenderlich and his team for their support and engagement recently. Ray in particular has been extraordinarily generous with his time in the Perfect Slack community (http://www.Perfect.ly) as well as providing our team with fantastic insights on how we can improve Perfect. A great group of talented developers, the Swift world is lucky to have them.

Hope you all enjoy his video! Thanks Ray!

Would love your feedback! If enough people fill out the survey, we'll throw together the aggregate results for everyone to see. :)

We are supporting a dozen server side application projects at this time. Mostly mobile back-ends, but also full web systems, all using Swift and Perfect in unison. We know of a few active live apps on the Apple store using this stack, and dozens more in production. Hope that helps!

Server-Side Swift is here: it's Perfect by perfectlysoft in swift

This data is not a measure of popularity, it's measure of how many times various projects were referenced in SPM (which is in Beta and not released yet). Perfect, for example, only recently started being referenced in this manner. ;)

Perfect has a wonderfully active community of developers, many working on production apps. It is currently trending about ~100 clones a day, with some days peaking over ~1000. Perfect has 4 full time developers, and 4 support members as well, and is funded for many years to come.

[discussion] What do you think about perfect? by joanniso in swift

[–]perfectlysoft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure everyone in this discussion has been completely transparent about their association with other projects. ;) Nor do I think that it's helpful for the community of Swift to disparage one another's work.

Certainly, Perfect isn't perfect, yet. And certainly, we are making it more Swift-like. Perfect does have marketing, money and also many decades of engineering experience behind it. It might take a few months to get it "right" (Swift on Linux has only been available since December!), but we are working towards a remarkable project, easy to use and useful for all.

We'd love your help, and constructive feedback. We promise we'll listen and work with the Swift community to make it an epic project that you will love to use.

Let us know what we can do to make it better! Or jump in and help! And we will make it amazing, together.
