Indie App of the Week
MyDoors
Making something by hand takes time. Two years of drawing every scene, every object, every doorway, one stroke at a time. The result is a world that is made with care.
MyDooors, developed by Lizao and Andy, is built around a single gesture: open a door, and step somewhere quiet. Each hand-drawn scene is layered with ambient sound, wind, birdsong, distant footsteps, the low murmur of a village going about its day. A small gift arrives each day, a found object with a short story, something to place in your own room and keep. No tasks, no streaks, no pressure of any kind.
Hangzhou Rossy Rossy Technology Co., Ltd
Apple is bringing its first European Developer Center to Berlin. A place built for “teams of all sizes and at every stage of app development,” as Apple puts it. With in-person sessions, workshops, one-on-one appointments, labs, and hands-on support from Apple experts, this feels like one of those moments worth celebrating for the European developer community. Because when Apple gives developers more access, more guidance, and more space to learn, amazing apps usually follow.
We can’t wait to see what you will Create with Swift.
See you next week!
