I am looking for a coding coach. For my already large but unfinished SwiftUI app that uses CoreData, Bluetooth, Text Recognition, reading JSON (mostly working but integration gets confusing) and I will be wanting to add Siri, Graphs, either Cloudkit or Ensembles and possibly some CoreML.

I can’t code full time so my working knowledge of SwiftUI, Swift and CoreData are a little bit all over the place. It would help if I could ask questions to someone like:

I need to create and maintain a list of ‘used numbers’ every year which are also uniquely associated with a colour. I’m thinking I will need to store this in its own CoreData entity. The numbers must be unique within colour and year and when the user needs to find an unused number for a given colour and year then the app must tell them the lowest unused number that is available for them to use. They can then add this number to the used number list.

Sometimes the user might accidentally use a much larger number than the lowest available and they must add this number to the used number list. For example, Orange 78 might be the next highest number, but the user might accidentally need to record that they used Orange 87. So the Orange sequence available will subsequently be Orange - 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 88… etc.

I would like help knowing should this be an array? A set? And the intricacies of getting an NSSet to an array from CoreData, plus I get muddled up on Getters and Setters in Swift, when they are appropriate. I also struggle with optional Dates and presenting them to a user.

Any thoughts or interest?
