I’ve spent the last three years deep in Rust (Web3, Polkadot/UniFFI), and lately I’ve been building PolkaBind. That work reminded me how much I missed Swift programming and how much I enjoy mobile development especially iOS.

So I’m starting a new mobile app project: Garanties.app, a warranties management app for the French market. There’s nothing fancy about this app, even if I find it very useful especially in France where product warranties are heavily regulated. What really sets it apart, at least in regards to my mobile app developer experience, is that I’ll build it using Emacs, Doom Emacs to be precise.

Why? Because I used Emacs exclusively for every text editing task for the past three years, and I don’t think I’ll ever need something else. Of course, no tool will ever match the Xcode experience for building apps, this is why I’m willing to use them in tandem.

Over the next posts, I’ll share short, practical notes about the journey of adapting my Doom Emacs config to be suitable for iOS development, and of course the status of the app it self. Exciting times ahead!

’Til next time.
