In a better world, I would have built this in a day, using some kind of modern, flexible HyperCard for iOS. In our actual world, I built it in about a week, and roughly half of that time was spent wrestling with different flavors of code-signing and identity provi­sioning and I don’t even know what. I waved some incense and threw some stones and the gods of Xcode allowed me to pass. Our actual world isn’t totally broken. I do not take for granted, not for one millisecond, the open source compo­nents and sample code that made this project possible. In the 21st century, as long as you’re operating within the bounds of the state of the art, program­ming can feel delight­fully Lego-like. All you have to do is rake your fingers through the bin.
