Tech & Development Challenges

• 🏗️ MVVM Pattern: MVVM pattern ensures a clear separation of the app's data model, user interface, and business logic, promoting a clean and maintainable codebase. Applying MVVM enable us to develop the app with SwiftUI in a more elegant way.

• 🧩 Singleton Design Pattern: PixBit uses the Singleton Design Pattern to ensure that a class has only one instance, and provides a global point of access to it. This helps us check user goal & their status in real-time situation.

• 🖥️ OOD Design: Incorporating Object-Oriented Design (OOD) principles was key in creating an efficient and scalable codebase. We accelerate our development process by creating template classes and inhereit from them.

• 🖼️ Remote Image Generation on API Calls: PixBit utilizes APIs to generate remote images, which can be a complex process. It required intricate handling to ensure that images are generated, retrieved, and displayed efficiently and correctly.

• 💾 Image Storage: Storing the AI-generated images efficiently, in a manner that's accessible and safe, was a crucial challenge. Due to our financial issues, we use Replicate’s output image url to serve our users.

• ⚖️ Memory and Bandwidth Usage: PixBit is currently lightweight in terms of memory usage but heavy on network bandwidth access. This is due to the use of AsyncImage (offered in iOS 15.0+), which prioritizes memory efficiency over bandwidth. Striking the right balance was a complex task. That’s why we don’t secure the image in our firebase.

• ⏩ Applied Async Function in Swift 5.5 2021: Implementing the async function from Swift 5.5, released in 2021, was an exciting task. The function allows the execution of asynchronous tasks, leading to smoother user experience and improved app performance.

Looking Ahead and Acknowledgements

• 🎈Add More Models: We're eagerly working towards expanding our collection of AI models, each unlocking unique and creative possibilities for your AI-generated art pieces. More diversity in models means more personalization and engagement, and we can't wait to see the inspiring ways you'll use them.

• 💪Improve from Feedback/Comment: Your feedback is our greatest asset. It’s the lens through which we see the app from your perspective, helping us refine and improve. We're committed to continuously learning from your feedback and comments, making PixBit the best it can be for you.

• 🔥Make the Process More Rewarding: Above all, we want PixBit to be more than a goal-tracking and AI-art app. We aim to create an experience that's genuinely rewarding. This means more motivational features, more achievements to unlock, and more ways for you to celebrate your progress and success.
