In this article, I would like to talk about my iOS Application. This app is both my first on the App Store and the first Open-Source project as well.
As a self-taught iOS developer, I wanted to get out of tutorial hell. I decided to give myself a deadline to publish an app to the App Store. But why open-source? Since I’m self-taught, what better way to practice source control other than making your software public and open-source. One must write concise commit messages for other people contributing to your project. I wanted to simulate working in a team environment…
One of the best ways to get to know your food is to try tracking your macros & micros. By logging your food intake, you start to understand what foods you need less and what foods you need more. Although some people hate tracking macros, it’s an essential part of education. I believe that everyone should go through a phase of macro tracking in their life. That helps us see what foods are making us fat usually. But not just about getting fat, it is about your health too. With food journaling, you can find out whether you lack any…
In this article, I will address what kumquat is. How to eat, preserve and grow one. The Best Citrus Fruit In The World?
Kumquats are a group of small fruit-bearing trees in the flowering plant family Rutaceae. They previously were classified as forming the now-historical genus Fortunella or placed within Citrus sensu lato.
The edible fruit closely resembles the orange by color and shape but is much smaller, approximately being the size of a large olive. Kumquat is a cold-hardy citrus. — From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yes, you can consume kumquats whole, and they taste heavenly. Just make sure…
In this article, I would love to tell you about the ketogenic diet. The impact it had on my life is highly positive. I truly love every aspect of it.
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used essentially to treat hard-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children. The diet pushes the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. At least 70% of calories need to come from fats, 10%-15% protein, and the rest is carbs. Make sure those are all high fiber low in sugar carbs like flax, chia, etc.
The neat thing about keto…
In this article, I would like to tell you about a great recipe when following the ketogenic diet. It is tasty, and it will also fuel your body with all the essential nutrients.
You are probably exhausted by eating the same meals on the ketogenic diet. It is time to put an end to that. The combination of lemon juice and olive oil is something special and well known in the Mediterranean. Adding a few nuts and seeds for crunchiness makes this recipe worth a try.
I can’t stress this enough but, buying the right kind of olive oil is…
Are you wearing headphones more than ever in quarantine and still can not focus? Maybe you should try noise-isolating headphones!
The recent COVID 19 virus had a massive impact on our lives. One thing that helped me working from home was having a good pair of headphones that I could focus properly.

Noise isolation does not make use of any power or electronics to block…
In this article, I would like to address how app localization (translation) can drive your product sales. I will show you that more languages equal more money.
Localization helps expand your app to new markets. It makes your app relevant to a mixture of cultures and languages and presents an opportunity to develop your business. You target a global audience and grow into new markets. Essentially, you get more money if your app is localized.
The initial step is to structure your app’s code and UI for localizations. That is a fundamental step in building apps for a global following…
Waking up at 5 AM almost every day for the past year or so has been life-changing for me. In this article, I would love to talk about the five most important things I learned through waking up at 5 AM.
Winning the morning is highly motivating. It starts the ball rolling and feels like you are beginning a streak that you don’t want to end. Doing your most important task of the day ASAP makes sense. Your willpower is like a muscle, so it fatigues quickly. That is why bodybuilders train the compound lifts first, then incrementally as their…
In this article, I would like to address the options for persisting data in your iOS apps using Swift. Data persistence means storing any type of data to disk so that the same data can be retrieved without being altered when the user opens the app next time. We are going to describe all the ways to store data locally in iOS apps.
