I built an app I always wanted to quickly share snippets
Hi! I'm a backend architect by day, an indie iOS developer by night. This spring, I wanted to experiment with iMessage app extensions for another app I build, and I needed a proof-of-concept that binding a SwiftUI view in this iMessage context would work correctly. Not only this is possible, but this project became a bit more, because it transformed the way I started sharing piece of information I often need to have at hand. My first use case was my IBAN sharing, often shared with relatives. Each time I was asked for it, I would have to open my bank app, have a correct internet connection,…

In plain words
SharePal is an iMessage app extension that lets users quickly share frequently-needed information snippets directly within iMessage conversations. Built by an indie developer as a proof-of-concept for SwiftUI integration, it streamlines sharing common data like IBANs, URLs, and other text snippets by storing them for one-tap insertion into messages. The app eliminates the need to hunt through multiple apps or manually copy and paste information each time it's needed.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
