The digest of interesting materials for the mobile developer # 258 (June 18 - June 24)

Siri Quick Commands

In your applications, you can attach shortcuts for some actions. Learning how and when the user performs them, Siri starts rationally, at the right time and place, offering him these shortcuts and, what is the coolest, the user will be able to call them with phrases that he will tie to them!

The history of creating a mobile application for children that allows you to earn money with your mind

This is a story (mixed with a story about my mistakes and their solutions) about how I (about two years in my spare time) developed a mobile application (for iOS / Android) that would motivate my daughter to solve math examples. In the end, it turned out the application that allows the child to make money with his mind.
