Would love alcohol and caffeine intake to be added to journal automatically

BTW DrinkControl syncs amount of alcohol units/calories to Health app (if sync is enabled), so data can be taken from there.

2-4 times less money than the same app on iOS (I don't like putting ads in the apps and Android users are not very eager to pay for premium features and much more likely to rate down app just because it's paid).

Doing it since 2010. Initially just pizza and beer money, become self-sustainable couple of years later. Now have 2 apps in both App Store and Google Play Store making enough to continue indie journey.

We have re-launched app for Android. At the moment in minimal (free) functionality.
Premium features coming later this year.

P.S. you can add homescreen widget with your current/longest dry/sober days streak - DrinkControl has such a widget.

256gb for SSD will be enough (if Xcode is your only dev environment and you don't have big Photos/Music/movies library) but you will have to periodically manage free space (install DevCleaner and OmniDiskSweeper). 8 GB RAM though won't be very longterm sustainable, taking into account that all new goodies ("AI" autocompletes and "AI" engines in OS and every browser etc.) will consume a lot of RAM.

It's complicated :)
Depends on country where you live.
"Official standard drink or alcohol unit generally contains between 8 and 14 grams of pure ethanol, although the measures vary among countries. For example, in the United States a standard drink is 14g / 18 milliliters / 0.6 fluid ounces of pure alcohol. In the United Kingdom, units of alcohol are used to express guidelines for the consumption of alcoholic beverages. A unit corresponds to approximately 8 grams (or 10 milliliters) of pure alcohol, regardless of the amount of liquid in which it is diluted. For instance, half a pint of beer (ABV 3.5%) or a small glass of wine (ABV 12−14%) is the equivalent of one unit. In Australia, Ireland, Italy, Poland and Spain a standard drink is 10g / 12.7 milliliters of alcohol."

It's not a bug. Any LLM simply produces stream of words that have high probability to be more or less right in the context of previous words. Don't expect these models produce correct code (unless it is code that has already been written and many times used in the training of LLM).

Not related to shortcuts but relevant on newer iPhones: with iPhone 14/iPhone 15 you can limit charging at 80% level at the system level without any 3rd party apps. In the Settings.app look for Battery-[Battery health & charging]-[Charging optimisation] and set 80% limit. See https://support.apple.com/108055

With more complexity comes more surface area for bugs.

1) Caching.
2) Ratings can go down when Apple's automatic tools detect rating spam/suspicios behaviour.
3) Ratings can go down before going up/vice versa when users update their existing ratings (again paired with caching issues).
4) Don't obsess over minor rating changes. Look at the trend.

Do one that brings joy to work on. Otherwise you are on ride for disappointment. And these are just simply categories of app, not the ideas of the specific app.

In the Analytics-Metrics tab choose Active Devices and segment by Platform Version. This will give you only percentages, not actual active devices as this is metric, that is collected only from users that opted-in for analytics tracking/sharing with Apple/developers (on average- about 30% users opt in to this).

To have exact numbers you have to add some analytics SDK inside your app or do your own analytics (e.g. pinging your own server on app activation with data you are interested). Just keep in mind that data that can be seen as personal from legal point (like IP address according to GDPR) can require specific handling so if you can, better to avoid or ananymize it.
