My co-founder Joey and I started Baron Fig 3 years back on Kickstarter making analog products. At the same time, we always wanted to make an app to capture and organize your notebooks.<p>We tried every way possible to not program it ourselves. Made a few versions using contractors. Problem for us it was slow, expensive, and couldn't make changes fast.<p>I tried learning myself watching videos online, but didn't feel I was learning fast enough. Ended up finding an iOS bootcamp in NYC (TurnToTech). Spent 4.5 months splitting my time between a full time bootcamp and helping to run our full line of physical products! (paper notebooks, pens, leather cases)<p>After 6 months of working on the app, we finally released it today. Its been quite a journey and learned a ton. If anyone wants to check it out, can take a look at our site.<p>https://www.baronfig.com/pages/codex
Joey here. Major props to Adam from learning iOS/Swift and publishing Codex in less than a year. Let us know what you think, always looking to improve.
