Blendle for iOS 4.2

17 May 2017

Once upon a time, there was a 17-year-old boy from the Dutch town of Doorwerth.

He was a true animal lover: cats, Camels, Jaguars, you name it. He religiously washed his car twice a week, before he was allowed to drive it.

And then, back in 2014, he created the first-ever Blendle Trending app. He managed to do so thanks to his severe allergies for syntactical inconsistencies.

He turned into a walking codebase in no time at all, pulling 939 pull requests in just three years. Aged 20, he created the a newspaper and magazine app that was by far the fairest of them all.

Then, something unexpected happened: he started using Swift (http://isjoostaloveropswift.nl). Finally. And in his final week in the land of Blendle, he made the app even faster, killing some bugs as he went.

And as he said goodbye, he got the applause he deserved. And lived happily ever after.

Thanks for everything Joost. Love you longtime ❤

By the way, if you happen to be a wizard with Swift yourself, and feel like succeeding King Joost, make sure to send an email to sjamilla@blendle.com.
