Welcome to issue #55 of the iOS Coffee Break Newsletter 📬.
Writing this newsletter every week has kind of become my happy place! It is now a regular part of my routine, a way to reflect on recent thoughts and share exciting updates from the community. It encourages me to keep up with what others are creating and gives me space to unpack my own ideas and thoughts.
I honestly didn't think it would catch on like this. But somehow ... it did. We have crossed 1,000 subscribers, with people finding it through Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit or my website.
However, it really made me smile last week when I received direct messages from some of you suggesting topics you'd like to see covered. That really made my day. I promise I'll be exploring those ideas in upcoming editions 🤞.
As we reach the 55th edition of the newsletter, I just want to say thank you 🙏. Thank you for reading, for engaging, and for being part of this journey.
Have a great week ahead 🤎
