Swift over Coffee

S4E3: The existence of Mikaela


Listen Later

In this episode, we learn that the app that paid for Paul’s house hasn’t even been updated for iPhone X 😶‍🌫️ and Mikaela learns about some useful tools to help with the launch of the app that she absolutely, definitely, 100% is gonna debut in February. 😅 (Pretty sure she meant of 2025, but Paul neglected to press her on this point.)

Plus, time is running out for EU trader status compliance (and some tips about keeping your personal phone number private), a big change to Swift, all the upcoming conferences (where, you know, Mikaela’s app would be incredibly useful…) and we turn the spotlight on some of the brilliant apps the Swift Over Coffee listeners are making.
