Snippy Snappy Quotes
People look/are smart if they can use the right quote at the right time. Its widely perceived thing. Not saying I rally with the idea. However, I had a thought; what if I could do the same? The problem is in the last 4 years; I managed to maybe put right quotes at 3 occasions. That's at least what I recall, feeling great at about quoting.
I also mentioned this funny idea to my good friend. We laughed. I thought a quote app that I categorize for specific occasions. Then I got more interested in the technology of building the SwiftUI app. I knew I wasn't in for the quote if I had gone that route. And so, after work, I thought why not just write about it. Maybe I get few comments and incorporate them here.
Please be aware this is not about short phrases like It is what it is
, Do what you love
. Neither it is about massively used phrases everyone says all the time like Do or die
, dream big
