For those interested, here’s a glimpse of the dilemma I’ve recently recovered from, but still suffering through. It’s still actively supported, I still care, however it’s also still (due to a series of unfortunate events and setbacks) constantly a work-in-progress. To all those that ask often: 2Do has not been abandoned. The point is, taking a multi-platform, featureful, complex app beyond 2020 has required careful planning and consideration. Okay that sounds like a lot more parts – because they are. The GoalĪs it is with any other app, think of 2Do made up of two distinct parts: the UI (front-end) and the Core Logic / Model / Sync Engine / Plugins / Database (back-end). With these both in hindsight, it has become clearer as to what needs to be done next – for now. I feel like we’re in the middle of a revolution, one that’s just going to take its time.

Or perhaps I had a lot more on my plate ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Īt the time of writing I’ve witnessed two WWDCs since the last update I shared. Perhaps I set the bar too high for myself or perhaps I was having a hard time making decisions.
Although this sounds like a lot of work – it turned out to be a lot more. Without going into too much detail – they’re boring, really – the plan was to go into development-overdrive: a major re-write of 2Do’s back-end / UI into pure Swift from the now obsolete, mostly dead Obj-C. A few hiccups, setbacks and unplanned surprises along the way (both in my professional and personal life) – and not to mention the many COVID 19 related niggles. Admittedly, by then I had already lost a lot of valuable time. This is always the perfect time to re-align one’s focus and app-update strategy for the remaining year. Speaking for myself, the confusion only increased as my favorite time of the year approached WWDC. A lot was about to change in so many ways this year. Perhaps for the first time ever, the world truly felt small – united in confusion and hope. It was soon after I shared a roadmap in the beginning of 2020, that things suddenly changed for the worse around the world.
