Development has progressed well since I released the first TestFlight of Palm Tree on April 1st. An updated feature list is included at the bottom of this post.
For the next few weeks my focus is on making database calls more efficient and tidying up the code before adding new features. This week I’ll also get to test Palm Tree on an actual Apple Vision Pro device, which is exciting, but I’m sure will surface the need for changes.
