Music && Journaling iOS App on Core Data
Muse is a mobile journaling app with music pinning capabilities. That is, while an entry is written on Muse, users can pin a currently playing song (from your local iTunes/Apple Music library) to that specific text. When that entry is revisit or edit in the future, the pinned songs playback.
When I first started this app 7 weeks into an iOS summer program in NYC, I connected this project with the Parse SDK to store and save entries. I decided to strip away the Parse plug-in backend entirely and instead have Muse rely entirely on Core Data for persistance.
