Last February (2025)<\/a>, I released my first mobile app, Boxing Drill Companion, which I wrote mostly myself with some help from ChatGPT.<\/p>\n

And, somehow, I released it with a critical bug: One of the three types of drills (the Holding drill for holding pads) would not play at all–apparently, it had a bad or missing cast statement.<\/p>\n

I found it not because I’ve started using it regularly (ha, ha, eat my own dog food<\/em> and practice martial arts at home<\/em>? That’s not what I bought all this equipment for! The heavy bag is merely a waypoint for Nico when he wants to jump from the chair to the top of the bookshelves!) I found it because, a year and a half later, I’ve shown the app to two of the people at my primary dojo, the kyoshi and a renshi. And I tried to show renshi the Holding drills.<\/p>\n

I am agog. I know I tested it, kinda (not as elaborately as I should), and my beautiful wife installed it and tested it a little. How I could have missed that, I have no idea. Unfortunately, none of the 4 people who bought it (roughly $2 in annualized earnings) contacted support. And kyoshi, with whom I shared a promo code, might have seen it in its failed state (although I’m not showing a record that he actually downloaded it).<\/p>\n

So I fixed it after getting Wunyo Submission Tracker<\/a> on the Microsoft Store last week<\/a>, I hopped on a fix. And<\/em>, I examined the drills in greater detail and corrected a couple of them.<\/p>\n

So: The now-working Boxing Drill Companion<\/a> is now available on the Apple App Store. And soon, perhaps, the Microsoft Store because I now have experience pushing apps there as well.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

But, man. I guess I was in a hurry to get things out, and<\/em> I was making changes on both the Mac and the PC to get it to work, and somehow I scrambled branches or something. In the interim, I’d updated the project a year ago to make the app reach out to an API to get custom updated drills and present\/play them, so I (and by “I”, I mean “Claude”) had to rope that all off. Ay, carumba.<\/p>\n

Well, that’s out. And now onto my next little game which is far more complicated than Feline Fly Assassin, available on Windows<\/a> and iOS<\/a>. Or maybe I’ll try to get a Mac version of Wunyo Submission Tracker. Or maybe I should sit with a pad of paper and write Wunyo<\/em> over and over again since I changed it from Wunjo<\/em> at the last minute so people could pronounce it, not that anyone besides me is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
