Does anyone use the Speech Analyzer instead of SiriKit? It's interesting to get @kayathomas perspective on the differences between the 2 and how each serves a different purpose.

Newsletter Issue #112 just dropped! 🚀
we're announcing the iOS Backend Selection Guide v1.0.0 that transforms how iOS developers choose their backend stack. The guide walks you through:

* Do you actually need a backend at all?
* MVP vs enterprise requirements
* Data complexity and platform support
* Swift server-side options with Vapor and AWS Lambda

This solves the #1 pain point I hear from iOS developers starting new projects.

After half a decade, @kayathomas came back to tell me about her new motherhood-inspired app Milk Diary. She talks about using new APIs like Foundation Models, SpeechAnalyzer, and AlarmKit to handle the complex stuff other feeding apps miss: intelligent scheduling and reminders, combo feeding that's actually easy to track, hassle-free tracking for twins and smart milk management.
