So I’m starting a new mobile app project: SPEEM, an app that helps middle and high school students build their study discipline by empowering their study habits. Uses simple UI workflows to craft custom study plans for urgent situations like exams. There’s nothing fancy about this app, even if I find it very useful especially for my daughters in their first high school year; 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.
