#83: Bento Fit - Full Dieter Rams

We continue to make slow progress developing our HealthKit dashboard app, codenamed "Bento Fit." In this episode, our update includes more HealthKit metrics discussion, Xcode Cloud configurations, a discussion on Git workflows, implementing basic logging, using Grok to write bad HealthKit code, and Kotaro's "Full Dieter Rams" UI designs. Plus, it looks like we need a persistence strategy, maybe SwiftData, maybe something else?## Show Notes- Bento Fit Update - How to manage your time on a side project - Metrics discussion from Side Project Saturday - Xcode Cloud is setup - Steve learned Swift Testing - Git workflows - HealthKit metric updates - Using LLMs for HealthKit code generation - Kotaro’s UI update & discussion- Prototype Driven Development- Next Time - Add/Remove bento boxes dynamically - More HealthKit metrics to implement - Data model / caching strategy? - Learn Swift Charts?- Wrap-Up - http://phillycocoa.org- Not a Sponsor - https://miovino.app## Chapters00:00 Introductions & The Story So Far04:55 Bento Fit Update: Setting Expectations06:12 Bento Fit Update: SPS Metrics Discussion09:30 Bento Fit Update: Xcode Cloud & Git Workflow14:52 Bento Fit Update: Logging17:20 Bento Fit Update: Implementing HealthKit Metrics18:27 Bento Fit Update: Using Grok to Generate HealthKit Code21:53 Bento Fit Update: Kotaro's UI Update & Discussion27:28 HealthKit Data Persistence Strategy33:06 Prototype Driven Development35:58 Next Sprint51:10 Wrap-Up53:07 TagIntro music: "When I Hit the Floor", © 2021 Lorne Behrman.
