We love indie iOS developers building tools for other iOS developers.

ReMafoX is a brand-new localisation tool built by indie iOS developer Cihat Gündüz. We’re also featuring an automation tool from Meta and pull requests as a service. Yes, this now exists. The days of “LGTM” may be over.

ReMafoX - App localisation made easier

Facebook idb - CLI for automating iOS simulators and devices

idb or “iOS Development Bridge” is a CLI from Meta (Facebook) that helps scale up your automation, with three main goals:

• Remote automation: Create workflows like a “Device Lab”
• Simple Primitives: Create sequences of workflows
• Exposing missing functionality: features Xcode hides from users are exposed through idb

What we like

• Great intro video here (from min. 26)
• Excellent documentation

PullRequest - Code reviews as a service

Do you often find pull requests being blocked because your co-workers don’t have the time to review it? PullRequest outsources reviewing your code! Create a pull request and get reviewed by engineers outside of the company, engineer-reviews on demand basically.

What we like

• Support for Gitlab, BitBucket and Github
• 8 languages supported
• Make some extra money becoming a reviewer
