An iphone todo app that's tailored for my needs and motivates me to commit to completing some amount of small tasks every day (even if it's just a single "rest and relax" task). Currently I'm building a prototype with SwiftUI and SwiftData and I'm struggling to comprehend why Apple is ditching Objective-C. Compared to my previous experience writing and publishing an iphone app, everything now feels much worse with Swift's ridiculous compile times and non-descriptive compile errors.

Open source yet? This sounds like a great project to learn how to build a small, but functional app.

I never wrote code in ObjC nor Swift. Can you share more thoughts behind this statement? Like, is Swift a worse dev experience compared to ObjC?
