I’ve been working on learning SwiftUI and Combine. I figured the best way to do this was to completely re-write wasted time as a native stand alone watch app. To begin with I am working on the main Meeting screen. The following video shows how cool SwiftUI is in making this UI just “work” on […]

WWDC Wrap up
I decided to wait a week to write my WWDC wrap up, not because I’ve not had any time to write it due to the day job, non-profit work, and dealing with the WWDC Flu (okay that’s most of the reason), but also to give me time to reflect on all the things I saw […]
Getting ready for Wasted Time V8.0
This summer has been a ton of fun learning how to address SiriKit in WastedTime. The last piece I have been working on is changing the UI to leverage Reactive Swift – AKA RxSwift. This will (hopefully) allow you to start a meeting on your HomePod and then open the app on your iPhone or […]
Siri Intents and Wasted Time
This past weekend I was able to get Siri to start seeing Siri Shortcuts for Wasted time. I’ve not implemented the shortcuts themselves yet, but I am “donating” certain actions, so that when iOS12 launches this fall, you will be able to use your voice with Wasted Time. I am hoping that over the next […]
Looking for Testers
I am working this summer to add Siri Intents and Siri Shortcuts to Wasted Time this summer. To that end, I am looking for people who are running any version of the iOS 12 beta, who would like to be added to a TestFlight for testing out the new features. Right now I have updated […]
Adding Siri Intents to Wasted Time
As we finished packing up the warehouse this weekend for the upcoming – unplanned move of my non-profit, my thought turned to how I can upgrade Wasted Time for this summer. Obviously, the key item to add to the app is support for Siri Shortcuts. While I could do this via NSUserActivities, I thought that […]
Twitter integration for Wasted Time
So, now that we got the persistance across sessions and meeting restart functions approved and on the app store, it’s time to really focus on Twitter integration. We are glad we hadn’t gotten to far before this time, since Twitter has officially shut down all apps that are using simple integrations. So now we have […]
Latest Updates
We think we are only a couple of days away from submitting the next version to Apple for the App Store. Data storage and retrieval between running session is within sight. Trying to decide if we should wait for twitter integration or submit this version first.
Data Persistence Across Platforms
We are currently looking at Android for a version of WastedTime…Today when you purchase the iPhone app, you get a fully functioning iPad app two, not some cheap pixel doubling app. Given this, you may find yourself, like I do, having to chose between the iPhone and the iPad version for all your meetings during […]
Clocks and Calendars
Ok, two graphics so far… Not really happy with the calendar, but really like the clock.. thoughts?? comments??? These are early drafts… and the days of the week on the calendar are not consistent.. (learning new tricks in Photoshop – may need to get a book 🙂 ).
