ARCHIVED. This repository is no longer updated or maintained. Tips have been moved to my website.
I love writing code and I am always trying out new ideas and discovering interesting ways of solving problems. My main focuses are on Android and iOS development, using Kotlin and Swift. To help find the tips and tricks, I will keep them all collected here, grouped by language.
Each tip will include links back to where it was originally shared on Twitter and sometimes Reddit. If you have any thoughts or questions on any I have shared, then please reach out to me there. I am always looking to learn so would love to discuss any better or alternative ways of doing things.
If you like what I am sharing, please don't hesitate to follow me on Twitter and check out my blog.
