Weekly Newsletter Issue 100
Celebrating 100 editions of the Create with Swift Weekly Newsletter. Thank you all for being part of this journey. We look forward to see what you will Create with Swift.
This week we've reached the 100th edition of our weekly newsletter, yet it feels like yesterday that we sent out our very first issue to all of you on February 23rd 2024. We started out with a simple intention that turned into an amazing journey.
"We aim not only to sum up the articles we publish during the week but also to provide a platform to showcase app developers we admire, their amazing apps, and the content they create."

We want to take a moment to thank the people from our team that made the weekly newsletter a corner stone of Create with Swift and keep us close to the community, up to date with the latest articles, and inspired week after week with the work of indie developers from every corner of the world.
Pasquale has been the driving force behind the newsletter since that very first edition, setting it's direction and committing to delivery on schedule every week despite our busy and sometimes hectic schedule at work.
“It began with something simple: exchanging interesting articles, discovering apps, and sharing with friends what I liked about them and what inspired me.
Then one day I asked myself, why not share this with everyone?
That was the spark behind the newsletter. I wanted to build something meaningful for the community, but in truth, this community made it meaningful from the very beginning.
What has always struck me most is its openness. From my experience, in tech, people often hold tightly to what they know, but here, people share generously, stay curious, and genuinely want to help one another grow. That spirit gave life to this project and kept it going, issue after issue.”

Matteo originally wasn't part of the editorial team for the newsletter, but kept pushing the envelope of what we could do every week so it became clear that he belonged. Bringing him in felt like a natural extension of everything we did and kept doing.
"Every week, I found myself eagerly looking forward to seeing which articles would make it into the newsletter and which app would be featured. Always on the hunt for the most interesting reads and the most unique apps. When I officially joined, that curiosity never left me, neither did the desire to discover a new indie app and share that sense of wonder, this time not just with Pasquale, but with all of you."

Considering all their passion and excitement for the developer community, the connections they made and the inspiration they found on their journey, the newsletter certainly would not exist without them today.
Even more importantly, the newsletter would not exist without you, our readers, followers and friends. Looking back, what has grown around this newsletter is more than we ever could have expected. The apps, the ideas, the friendships, the collaborations, the sense of openness and community; watching it all unfold has been genuinely inspiring.
From the entire Create with Swift team: Thank you for reading. Thank you for sharing, for writing to us, and for every small gesture of support because we are, first and foremost, passionate about this world and every single week...
We can’t wait to see what you will Create with Swift.
