Nashville's a place where people pursue their dreams at max volume. Join @thillsman.me for the rock ballad of the century: the high notes, flat moments, and indie stories behind a career built one app at a time. Write YOUR next chapter at SWIFTSONIC: swiftsonicconf.com

“We’ll handle accessibility later” is like learning the bridge after the show starts. @chriswu.com riffs on accessibility at Swiftsonic: quick wins we can use and how to prompt agents to build accessible experiences from the first note. See him LIVE: swiftsonicconf.com

Your iOS Simulator is a sneaky little time thief! @rocketsim_app puts deep links, location testing, and network tools beside the Simulator and now lets AI agents inspect, navigate, and verify the app too. I'm so glad to have them sponsoring Swiftsonic! 🚀

iOS 27 is out, which means Swiftsonic’s minimum OS has officially shipped. 😂 Yes, I gave this conference a deployment target. Bring what you built, broke, and learned to Nashville Nov 20–22. Let’s rock ’n’ scroll together. 🎟️ swiftsonicconf.com

Your indie app is your garage band. 🎸 You write every part, carry the gear, and at the eleventh hour, you’re living on a prayer behind the keyboard. At Swiftsonic, indie devs aren’t the side act. You're the main event, so bring it onstage! 🤘🏻 🎟️ Get your pass: swiftsonicconf.com

First thing I wanted for Swiftsonic was a set list, not an agenda. That’s why we have Openers and Headliners. The day builds: fresh voices, deep experience, practical Swift and iOS stories. Nashville · Nov 20–22 🎟️ swiftsonicconf.com

My cat has never fixed a StoreKit edge case. @revenuecat.com has. It handles purchases, validation, entitlements, and subscription data so developers can get back to the part users see. Now they’re backing Swiftsonic, with @mattheaney23.bsky.social in our Headliner lineup.

Fifteen years at Apple. Twenty-five years writing developer songs. This November, @jamesdempsey.net is both a Swiftsonic Headliner and the front man bringing the Breakpoints to Nashville for the first time—HOW??? A talk AND a live set. One very Swiftsonic weekend.

There are lots of word games, but very few original word games. Let’s build one today, with delightfully simple drag and drop mechanics plus locks in place to avoid annoying players as they progress.

We've already established that I'm an introvert but I was putting in WORK in Cupertino. I had only told a tiny number of people online at this point so these pre-order numbers were almost all me asking people to help out in person. I was absolutely shameless and outperformed indie fair day. 🤯

A graph showing pre-orders from June 7 to June 14. The biggest spike is on June 7, which had 32 pre-orders. The day after it falls a little bit and then June 10 is the next biggest day.

My advice to introverts who have an interest in the @communitykit.social Indie Fair? Recruit an extrovert! Bluesky power user @mattheaney23.bsky.social came in clutch and took over after an hour when my voice started going out again. And @joe.inkle.co can verify that I am indeed an introvert.

🎵 The Devil went down to Nashville looking for a deal to make. I built a game where you can challenge me for a Swiftsonic ticket stake. Beat me for a discount and bragging rights to claim. Because every good music festival needs a questionable side game!

I need to unfurl the highest of praise for the one and only @benfreiband.bsky.social. I would not have survived this week at all if not for him. He’s a real one, that Ben!

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsor @revenuecat.com, CommunityKit was able to provide some stellar breakfasts. I hate saying nice things about @benfreiband.bsky.social but he knocked it out of the park (go sports!) with his food orders.
