Create GIFs Using Your Xcode Simulator With Mimiq
An easy, open-source way to share Simulator GIFs with your team
Not all companies have the process of delivering products from development to production, but most of them have a method to showcase what they did and review it together before entering the production. Most companies will use Pull Request or Merge Request as a way to do that. It is known as a code review.
Code reviews are crucial for most teams. They help teams coordinate and streamline code quality across the team.
One thing to make the code review experience better is a pull request that invites peers to review, helping them understand the context of the pull request better. One thing to achieve is using GIFs for context. As an iOS Developer, the GIF will be around what features we work on and how it behaves on the new version.
From the above description, that’s the reason why I created mimiq. Mimiq is an application to help record your Xcode Simulator as a GIF. It’s pretty straightforward. Just select what simulator you want to record, record, and stop it.
