šŸŽÆ Demo using Rotato 😫 Struggled with timing between animation keyframes ✨ Spent extra time experimenting, figured out most of it (~80%) āœļø Some animations aren’t practical—will improve. Really liking Rotato. #BuildInPublic #iosdev #LearnInPublic #MarcsDevLog #adhd #wwdc #WWDC25 #AppleWatch #Rotato

Day 24 of 30 šŸŽÆ Recorded a watch app demo
 😫 Struggled with camera angles, no tripod, and screen reflections
 ✨ Used a makeshift stand, held the watch off-wrist, wore black to reduce glare
