Icon Design
The icon embodies a unique blend of nostalgia and modernity, with its circular shape inspired by vintage typewriter keys, evoking a sense of tactile engagement. It features an aluminum texture, which suggests depth from its edges towards the center, creating the illusion of a capacitive touch. There's a subtle green light in the top left corner— a homage to the caps lock indicator light found on Magic Keyboard. At the heart of the icon there’s a visual pun— a slash through the caps lock symbol, embodying the app's name, 'No Cap', in a literal and figurative manner.

Technical Learning
I refined my coding skills with Swift. For the longest time, I’ve been indulged in designing interfaces but this was the first time I designed, developed, built and shipped a project of my own. I leveraged several APIs and frameworks within iOS, iPadOS, visionOS.

Growth
This initiative highlights my ability to take full ownership of projects and bring ideas to fruition, earning me an invitation to WWDC in June 2024.
