Welcome to the free edition of The Mobile Engineer Newsletter

Hi, this is Alex 👋

It’s great to have you here - thanks for subscribing!

If you can do me a favor and reply to this email with a short “hello!,” it will help Gmail to keep this newsletter out of the dreaded Promotions folder. Feel free to ask or say anything else as well if you have a question or comment. I’d love to hear about you and why you subscribed to my newsletter!

You’ll get the newsletter issues here, in your inbox. You can also log in to the website to read the full archives and other posts as they are published. Check out this and this for other articles I wrote.

What to Expect

In this newsletter I’m going to share my experience and thoughts on mobile development, whether it be coding techniques, architecture or software development process and mindset. This newsletter is a mix of tech, dev, project, and product thinking and perspectives all derived from my previous and current experience at tech companies building mobile apps and entire systems.

You’re on free version. Unfortunately I can’t commit to any periodic schedule, I don’t want to give you false promises, so don’t expect this to come out every week or two or so. But I’ll do my best to share insights as soon as I formulate them. As a free tier subscriber you’ll get unlimited access to everything until further notice, so you’re not missing out on anything!

That said, if you do want to support my efforts here please feel free to sign up for paid tier through substack. It will get one step closer to becoming more consistent with publishing new articles.

What I’ll try to do in this newsletter is to expand on those topics I share or thinking about. I’ll also email new Inside iOS Dev podcast episodes here with additional thoughts and commentary on them.

Bottom line I’ll share things as soon as I can even if they are unedited or proofread (I’ll do my best to followup and edit asap).

Some housekeeping…

If you can’t find the newsletter, check your spam folder. And please mark this address as ‘not spam.’ If the newsletter isn’t in your spam folder, either, you should look in the Promotions tab.

You can always see everything on the website.

Thanks again, and please tell a few friends if you feel like it.
