Welcome to this week's edition of our newsletter.

Apple just shared the stories behind some of this year’s Swift Student Challenge Distinguished Winners. This year’s challenge recognized 350 winning submissions from 37 countries, and 50 students were invited to Apple Park for WWDC. But the numbers aren’t really the point.

Every year, the Swift Student Challenge is a reminder to build things that matter to people, sometimes to one specific person, sometimes to an entire neighborhood to solve real problems for real people.

Parcel

Most package tracking happens across a lot of different carrier websites, each with its own interface and its own way to provide you the information you are looking for, especially when you are waiting on more than one order at once.

Parcel, developed by Ivan, solves this with quiet efficiency providing the information in a centralized place from over 300 carriers with a clean, native and intuitive user interface, push notifications for every status change and widgets for a quick glance. The app runs on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac, keeping everything in sync, and even offers web access for when you are away from your Apple devices.
