What makes for a great work day for you?

"N hours of coding"

"Yesterday I told myself I'd add X feature tomorrow. I did that today!" (even if it only took 2 hours)

"I ate a good breakfast. I worked out. I played with my kids. I did N hours of work and didn't question my sanity."

So I broke out my iPad from around 2012 or so, only to find out most of the apps I tried to download were not compatible with my devices and my device's OS can not be upgraded anymore. I have two of these devices too :/

I feel like there should be more support for getting use out of your "old" devices. Thinking about the amount of waste is unsettling.

I made a little web scraper to find iOS games that worked on my device though, feel free to use it and/or modify the code to find apps you want: https://github.com/cjstewart88/vintage

Then I thought about how expensive they are and how it would likely get used a few times and then sit idle for months... or years. Like the two iPads I purchased over a decade ago. So instead I decided to grab one of the old iPads and see if it'd scratch the itch. Turns out the majority of the apps you attempt to download have minimum iOS version requirement much higher than my iPad that won't upgrade past 9.2. So instead of mindlessly tapping download and canceling out of the "This game is not compatible with your device", I built a scraper that logs games that fit my criteria:

- iOS v9 support

- 4+ rating

- over 20 reviews

- no in app purchases

- no game center

A few thoughts as I wind down:

- The scraper is slow, like 34 hours slow. It needs to be parallelized.

- You can modify the scraper to search other app categories.

- I'm inspecting every game, instead of throwing out games that don't match the min iOS version... I should store the iOS version requirement and add that as a UI filter.

Cody and Jake here, the founders of FeatureTracker (https://www.featuretracker.com). We have one simple goal, to allow creators to make data-backed decisions when building interfaces. Maybe you have a really fancy date picker and are looking for ways to scale it back. With FeatureTracker you can track the granular usage of each component of that date picker, then decide what to keep and what to cut based on actual numbers.

We track specific clicks and provide a few simple data points to make you feel a little more comfortable making decisions and less like you’re driving into the dense fog that can be product development.

We built this to help us answer questions and hope it can help a few others too. We're aiming to keep things simple as possible. We'd love to hear from you, so let us know if you have any questions or have feedback.

Thanks, Cody and Jake

One day she simply told me to keep things in perspective. Think about all the things we have to be thankful for and question is it really worth it to get worked up over whatever it is that's bothering you.
