Apple is still bitcoin-only.

Sounds Jobsian.

Aside from typing arrows with two dashes I agree.

Also reserve the right to reconsider the dashes.

I just pushed out an update (version 1.0.2) that *might* fix this, lemme know if it does, otherwise I’ll look into this regardless

I have a widget but only enabled it for Standby mode (right now at least?), maybe I’ll enable it for Home Screen too

I have an Android phone too so yeah I’d like to build one for that too

This makes getting a Bitaxe eveb more desirable. Beautiful.

Traxe: the iPhone app to track your Bitaxe

Available on the App Store.

Native iOS.

Supports StandBy and Dark Mode.

Open Source.

An experiment.

I saw the bindings mentioned. Can you tell me, or test for me, with the bindings, can a Swift project with these dependencies build completely in Swift Playgrounds?

Conversely, can Swift Playgrounds projects somehow call non native outside libraries?

Lastly, would you yourself have a mind to bring over some BDK Swift Wallet stylings to Monday, icons, typeface, and, it has such an appealing app icon, which perhaps allows a LN themed variation.

I don’t think possible from Swift Playground iPad app, possible from a swift playground in Xcode but not as straightforward (maybe at WWDC they make this possible on iPad 🤞).

Trying out some different things on the Monday app collaborating w my friends Christoph&Daniel from Bitcoin Design Foundation which has been fun.

Replying to Avatar Gregor

I just noticed that LDK uses Rust again. I have yet to look for Swift LN libraries. Still, the pieces at least for a pure Swift L1 app with Keychain support seem practically ready to go with a shared vision.
Avatar
Matthew Ramsden 7mo ago

The nice thing about both BDK and LDK is written in Rust *but* provide Swift bindings, so if someone is a Swift dev they never even have to touch Rust they just use the Swift SDK

Replying to Avatar Gregor

First time I see Monday, and the KeyChain access wrapper. Since when have you been working on this?

What do you need to get Monday release ready, and give it L1 functionality too?

Can Swift-Bitcoin provide a practical Swift L1 component?

With an all Swift codebase myself, and hopefully significantly more people on mobile devices, could join in through Swift Playgrounds.

Also, while the Monday UI images look nice too, BDK Swift Wallet has my favorite wallet UI in general, the segmented receive address display, the different switchable denominations, consistent icon style, just a joy to view.

Matthew Ramsden 7mo ago

Monday is close to a public TestFlight, basically 1 more feature to be implemented. It has L1 onchain support currently (via LDK Nodes integration of BDK)

And thanks for saying that about the BDK Swift Wallet design!

Replying to Avatar Gregor

Would you mind explaining the considerations a bit more?

How do you feel about the Keychain Services integration?

How does BDK stand with LN and BOLT12 right now?
Avatar
Matthew Ramsden 7mo ago

Hard to distill it in all of its angles and nuance here. I like the KeychainServices integration, what are your thoughts? BDK is focused on L1 yet integrates really well with L2’s. I’m personally a big fan of Lightning https://github.com/reez/Monday (LDK Node uses BDK as the onchain wallet)

Replying to Avatar Gregor

Apologies, I confused BDK-CLI with BDK yesterday. Does recent progress move things for BDK Swift Wallet regardless?
Avatar
Matthew Ramsden 7mo ago

BDK is totally good for mainnet, iOS app still just testnet today for other considerations
