PocketBudget Update

A progresss update for the PocketBudget app.

Cranked away on PocketBudget last night.

The last time I streamed and worked on it, I ran into a data fetching issue. Turns out my dates were not the same so the comparison in the predicate didn’t work. I made the predicate more flexible by making sure the startDate are within the same day and not specifically the exact same time and date.

Started building out the new transaction flow, which is what I’ll continue on stream tonight. Make sure to drop by and say hi either on Twitch or YouTube.

My goal is to get the iOS app shipped by the end of the month, so I can enter shipaton and then continue building out the backend.
