👋🏼 Welcome to SwiftlyRush
It's my birthday tomorrow 🎂
I don't like to shout now about birthdays, well, because it's another year under my belt and as I watch my children grow into young people it certainly makes me feel old, or as my friend usually puts it "nearly 30".
I will stick with that, it works :D!
How was your holidays? I hope you managed to get some quality time away from work or perhaps you used that time to work on your own apps or learn something new? I personally am working on a brand new iOS application and it's just been approved by Apple, yay! I have a few more bits of polish and a couple of features to build and I am hoping to get it released to the first batch of customers.
Have a great week ahead!
