Right after Swift was announced I read a post on a well known website that they are searching for people who want to create video tutorials for them. I volunteered and started to implement a demo project for the video tutorial, a timer app.

I made the videos and wrote the people from the blog that I'm finished and asked where I should send the video to. I never heard from them again.

So I decided to build a complete app from the demo project. Few days later I had the first version of Fojusi finished and put it in the App Store.

Then came the October Special Event. In the keynote Hair Force One showed a slide with a apps already written in Swift (https://youtu.be/sBfvJn-fpnc?t=16m5s). And I nearly fall from the couch as I realized that Fojusi was on that slide (bottom right corner).

A few days ago I decided to make Fojusi open source. Feel free to use the code to make you own timer app to be on one of the slides in the next keynote.

Future plans

When I find time I want to add watch support to Fojusi. But I want to use watchOS 2 for this. So I need to watch some WWDC videos first.

Ping me at Twitter or App.net if you have comments about this post or Fojusi.
