Build, launch, and keep improving
Practical guides for building, customizing, launching, and growing software products.
Scale React Native through clear feature boundaries, typed contracts, predictable data ownership, and an upgrade-friendly native dependency policy. This revised guide emphasizes supported APIs, production tradeoffs, and an upgrade-friendly path without tying the advice to a calendar year.
Compare Supabase and Firebase through data model, authorization, offline behavior, realtime needs, operational ownership, and exit strategy. This revised guide emphasizes supported APIs, production tradeoffs, and an upgrade-friendly path without tying the advice to a calendar year.
Start a Supabase project with migrations, typed clients, Row Level Security, authentication, and a production-safe local workflow. This revised guide emphasizes supported APIs, production tradeoffs, and an upgrade-friendly path without tying the advice to a calendar year.
Compare Angular and React by application constraints, team structure, rendering strategy, ecosystem ownership, and maintenance model. This revised guide emphasizes supported APIs, production tradeoffs, and an upgrade-friendly path without tying the advice to a calendar year.
Improve Angular performance with measured rendering work, route-level loading, image and network budgets, SSR decisions, and stable reactive state. This revised guide emphasizes supported APIs, production tradeoffs, and an upgrade-friendly path without tying the advice to a calendar year.
Make Angular pages crawlable through server rendering or prerendering, stable URLs, complete metadata, structured data, and fast HTML responses. This revised guide emphasizes supported APIs, production tradeoffs, and an upgrade-friendly path without tying the advice to a calendar year.
Design Angular forms with typed reactive models, reusable validation, accessible errors, predictable submission state, and server-side validation. This revised guide emphasizes supported APIs, production tradeoffs, and an upgrade-friendly path without tying the advice to a calendar year.
Use RxJS for asynchronous streams and cancellation while using signals for local synchronous state where they make ownership clearer. This revised guide emphasizes supported APIs, production tradeoffs, and an upgrade-friendly path without tying the advice to a calendar year.
Compare Kotlin and Java for JVM and Android work through interoperability, null safety, concurrency, tooling, team adoption, and library constraints. This revised guide emphasizes supported APIs, production tradeoffs, and an upgrade-friendly path without tying the advice to a calendar year.
Learn Kotlin coroutines through structured concurrency, cancellation, dispatchers, lifecycle ownership, and testable suspend functions. This revised guide emphasizes supported APIs, production tradeoffs, and an upgrade-friendly path without tying the advice to a calendar year.
Use Kotlin Multiplatform to share domain and data logic while choosing shared or native UI based on product and team constraints. This revised guide emphasizes supported APIs, production tradeoffs, and an upgrade-friendly path without tying the advice to a calendar year.
Expose real product actions to the system instead of treating your app as an isolated screen stack.
App Intents are becoming one of the most important integration points for iOS apps. They let your app expose actions and data to system features such as Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, widgets, and other surfaces that can help users act without opening the full app first.
For SwiftUI templates, this is a major opportunity. A template usually already has a predictable product loop: browse products, start a chat, save a listing, log a workout, check an order, or create a reminder. App Intents turn those loops into system-level capabilities.
This guide explains how to plan App Intents in a SwiftUI app template:
