β¨ Progress Update on My Anime Tracker App!


π Hey! Itβs been a while, but Iβm still working on my Anime Schedule App! π
Over these past few weeks, Iβve been busy:
β¨ I continued following Appleβs Landmarks tutorial project and learned how to create animations, transitions, and more complex interfaces. Using what I learned, I added a new page to my app: view by show status! πΊ
β¨ I also read up on the basics of Swift as a language itself. Reading the documentation helped me understand how Swift works and how SwiftUI uses Swift features like closures (aka Lambdas or anonymous functions in other languages). Thanks to a stronger foundation, I feel more confident using SwiftUI! πͺ
π¨ My friend, Samuel Leone Ganado, showed me Harmony, his teamβs Software Engineering website project. I noticed they were using Figma to showcase a mock app (which looked super realistic!), so I decided to also give it a try and see how it worked.
π Figma is amazing. It really is. It helped me grasp mobile and UX design and allowed me to visualize my ideas as an actual app. Thanks to Figma, I was able to design a home screen and schedule screen! Iβll definitely keep using it and recommend giving it a try if you havenβt (itβs free).

π Progress with My Anime Tracker App
Until recently, my Anime Tracker App was simply taking what I learned from the Landmarks tutorial and adding my own spin to it. But on November 23, I started my own custom page using what I learned from:
- The Landmarks tutorial
- My improved understanding of Swift/SwiftUI
- My Figma designs
Andβ¦ it was surprisingly easy! I was able to implement my Figma concept, not perfectly, but itβs there π.

π― What’s Next for the Anime Tracker App?
Here are the next big features I plan to add to my app:
- π Weekly anime release calendar (main feature)
- π Integration with anime databases like MyAnimeList or AniList
- π€ AI or ML-powered anime recommendations and episode recaps
- π “Most watched” and “currently watching” leaderboard

π Itβs truly super rewarding to see your learning and hard work pay off, AND to see your vision come to life!
π¬ Your Thoughts?
Are you working on any projects? Did you also find it rewarding to see working results? Let me know below!
PS: I finally figured out how to connect my GitHub to Xcode π.
