Antoine van der Lee. A decade of production iOS development made van der Lee one of the most-followed practitioners in the indie iOS community. He built SwiftLee into a weekly Swift and Xcode reference used by tens of thousands of developers, and RocketSim into a simulator enhancement tool. His writing covers Swift concurrency, SwiftUI animation, and AI-assisted development patterns, published at a consistent weekly cadence that rewards current platform knowledge.
