Muse and Developer Duck with Adam Wulf

Swift Developer Podcast - App development and discussion

12/02/23 • 62 min

Muse is a great note-taking app, but it is so much more. I use it almost daily for brain dumps and organizing my thoughts. Developer Duck is an AI-powered tool that works great both stand-alone and inside Xcode. I use it to improve my code, learn, and solve problems.

The creator, Adam Wulf, joined me to discuss the apps and more. He was also gracious enough to offer discounts for listeners.
