#introductions I'm Kyle. 👋

iOS developer 📱 (now Android too actually, by accident; long story).
Started programming making simple games for iOS, then iOS jailbreak tweaks, then making apps as my job.

Love tech, programming, sci-fi, StarTrek (TNG 👍), Marvel, etc...
Also love Snowboarding and parkour.

I've been on Twitter for years (90k posts, mostly retweets). Was on mastodon.social but have moved here now.

Apple's documentation is pretty terrible nowadays, but I have to say the CIQRCodeGenerator - Core Image Filter reference is really good! Lots of information + example images.

When amateurs meet, it’s a contest of who makes the fewest huge, gaping blunders."

Panic - What's Next for Coda? https://panic.com/next/

I was thinking of making one, but thought I should check if any good ones exist first.

I tried to find some via Google, but Google is pretty terrible for searching for apps at the best of times.

+ I just get SQLite ObjC and Swift API stuff rather than apps when I try searching.

Is there a decent SQLite editor/browser/viewer for iOS on the AppStore?

Hopefully that supports the Files app, things like "Open in Place", and has a desktop style iPad interface (keyboard shortcuts would be nice too)?
