Every two weeks, Waiting For Review offers a window into the real, unvarnished life of independent app development. Host Dave Wood in Wellington and his regular collaborator Daniel Jilg in southern Germany simply catch up, turning their casual conversation into a compelling narrative about building software outside the big studios. Youโ€™ll hear them grapple with the latest Apple platform updates, dissect the nuances of running a one-person business, and share the tangible progress-and frequent setbacks-of their own side projects. This isnโ€™t a lecture; itโ€™s a dialogue between two seasoned developers who are deep in the trenches. Dave, an iOS coach, might detail the challenges of his current applications, while Daniel provides perspective from founding Telemetry Deck. The result is a practical, meandering exploration of technology news and the personal side of creation, where the journey from idea to a product in the App Store is filled with both technical puzzles and human decisions. Tune into this podcast for an authentic sense of camaraderie and a front-row seat to the ongoing work that rarely makes the keynote stage.
