Thank you for watching! :) And will definitely be covering that in an upcoming video. Already learning a TON connecting it directly to a server instead of using the Supabase client library (which I'll go over my decision to do that as well)
Can you do a video of your background and your journey to becoming a solo app developer? Also your income streams. I would love to start app development.
Silly question: Why use Supabase at all? This app feels like it could absolutely just live on your device with no need for sending the data to any backend infra. Wouldn't that make it easier on you and maybe even give you the chance to learn something new in the world of Swift like SwiftData if you just kept the data on-device?
Not a silly question at all! And yes this is answer is correct, its primarily for future features^ I plan on adding cross platform support (esp on the web) which would require some sort of backend database. And there are a few things (like bank importing, integrations, etc...) which would be much much easier to do outside of the client app
Thanks! Its pretty straightforward tbh (kind of like Notion) so not sure how helpful the video would be. Is there something specific you wanted to see for it? I might make a video going over all the tools I use and spend like 1-2 minutes on Gitbook but not sure if there is enough content to make an entire video for it. Let me know!
I usually go based on user feedback! Ellie has a feedback board so I work on whatever has the most upvotes usually :) Just posted a new video a few mins ago with my in depth process
Actually ended up switching to firebase in the end. At this stage backend isn't worth it for me, would prefer to focus most of my energy on frontend and cracking the features. Once this is solid though might go back and optimize backend :)
hi man i love your content! just a quick q. do you deploy your apps on your phone for personal use or for the app store? if you are doing the former im wondering how you do that without the seven day limit apple puts on personal apps deployed from xcode 😢. any help would be appreciated!
@@raroque Thanks for your quick response! Last question, do you have a developer account you pay annually for? Bc you mentioned you are able to keep your personal apps on your phone without expiration, but from my understanding you get seven days for a free account and one year for the developer account! If not, could you please let me know how I would be able to install my personal apps on my phone forever? Appreciate your time and help!
Tbh I haven't done enough research on courses to make recommendations so don't feel comfortable recommending anything specific. BUT here is some general advice on courses/tutorials: I would try to find any tutorials (even free ones on RUclips) where you by the end of it you can have an app physically in your hand by the end of it. For beginners, I'm not a fan of anything where its just a speaker talking and showing you things but you aren't able to follow along. I think tutorials where you can actually copy the code as the tutorial goes on is way more helpful. Find those tutorials/courses. Hope that helps, might make a video in the future on this because its one of the most common questions I get!
Hey! Swift (SwiftUI) for frontend and then Firebase for the backend :) I like both because I don't have to worry about a lot of things like Auth/Security/etc... Will make a separate video outlining Firebase vs Supabase!
I love your content, as a fellow dev wanting to start youtube as well, it's very great seeing you donig all of this !
Appreciate that and thanks for following along! 🙏
Love your content man! Would love a video more in depth about what your backend looks like and connecting that to Swift.
Thank you for watching! :)

Best of luck for your app development. Supabase is a good choice. Great Chris bhai.
Thank you! Excited to start using it, will make another video about the experience :)
I really like your videos man! Keep it up!
Thanks Adam 🙏 let me know if there is anything you ever want to see!
Can you do a video of your background and your journey to becoming a solo app developer? Also your income streams. I would love to start app development.
Great idea, will add this to my content backlog :)
Hi bro, new follower here. I think its a good sign, I found your content because I always wanted to build the ios app. Thanks for the vid brother
Appreciate that and thanks for following along! Good luck on your app building journey 🙌

Please make content of 20-30mins, getting greedy here❤😅
Gonna push myself and try to make one that long soon 👀 thanks for watching! 🫶
@@raroque yoo🤩
Thanks for this amazing video but would like a detailed video on using gitbook for the docs
Thanks! Its pretty straightforward tbh (kind of like Notion) so not sure how helpful the video would be. Is there something specific you wanted to see for it?

@@raroquethanks ok it’s a good idea making a video and taking 2 minutes on gitbook
@@bilalbakr7817alright I got you 🤝
@@raroquethanks man
@@raroque I would be interested in learning about the tools you use. Also interested in Gitbook tbh. I'm considering it for my app as well.
Great content!! i just wanna give you one if you can each application videos on playlist so it will be easier follow the flow... good luck mate!!
Ahh this is a great idea, will do that today. Thanks for watching! :)
How do you plan out your app?
When starting how do you know which feature to work on first?
I usually go based on user feedback! Ellie has a feedback board so I work on whatever has the most upvotes usually :)
Just posted a new video a few mins ago with my in depth process
You still have managed postgres though? surely backend is something worth learning too right?
Actually ended up switching to firebase in the end. At this stage backend isn't worth it for me, would prefer to focus most of my energy on frontend and cracking the features. Once this is solid though might go back and optimize backend :)
Are you using any alternative budgeting app until Luna is ready?
Nothing right now 😅 which is why I need to get this out ASAP
@@raroque i need this too!! hahaha
Man what Skills have you been using to develop your apps am just starting out as an App developer
Hey! Let me know if I misunderstood the question, but currently I know React, Swift and just general design :)
You don't do any backend stuff ?@@raroque
What do you use for your backend
@@raroque
I usually just have a very simple Express server but I use things like Firebase to do a lot of heavy lifting of the backend
hi man i love your content! just a quick q. do you deploy your apps on your phone for personal use or for the app store? if you are doing the former im wondering how you do that without the seven day limit apple puts on personal apps deployed from xcode 😢. any help would be appreciated!
App store! :)
But when I build for development I build it directly to my phone (literally through Xcode) so there is no expiration limit
@@raroque Thanks for your quick response! Last question, do you have a developer account you pay annually for?

I'm a beginner in iOS Development. Could you please guide me point me to some good courses? How I should learn?

@ActuallyDibs, there’s Hacking With Swift, Code with Chris, Sean Allen, they all have free courses where you can learn and code along to their videos
Hi man which stack is great to use.And why superbase or firebase?
Hey! Swift (SwiftUI) for frontend and then Firebase for the backend :)
I like both because I don't have to worry about a lot of things like Auth/Security/etc...
Will make a separate video outlining Firebase vs Supabase!
sure it will be good to here more about superbas and firebase
@@raroque
Nice video 😊 You are not afraid from losing your job as an ios developer due to AI ?
Haha I’m more excited about how it can help me develop faster :)
You said you will try to respond to anyone, but CAN you do it?
then answer me, how can luna be that cute!? ^o^
I CANNOT ANSWER THAT 🙇♂️ every day i wonder myself
