    <h1>Bruno Rocha's Projects</h1>
  </div>
<p>Here you can find a (mostly) complete list of my side projects and open source contributions!</p>
<h2>Side Projects</h2>
<ul>
<li>SwiftRocks: The website you're reading right now!</li>
<li><a href="https://burnoutbuddy.io/">Burnout Buddy</a>: App Blocker for iOS that I created to reduce my social media usage.</li>
<li><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/6sOFIDT8ELXygixjYBTAb2">Build Failed Podcast</a>: A brazilian podcast about iOS development and the software engineering industry that I created with two friends. We recorded 51 episodes together before I left to focus on other projects, but my friends still run it and I have been showing up every once in a while as a guest.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/swordzzzzz">Swordz</a>: YouTube channel where I posted funny Source Filmmaker videos involving Dota 2 characters. The channel had at its peak 90.000 subscribers before I got bored and moved on. To this day I regret not pushing just a little bit further in order to cross 100k and get that sweet YouTube Silver Play button!</li>
<li><a href="https://dota2.fandom.com/wiki/Shooting_Star?file=Goggles_of_the_Shooting_Star_Assasinate.gif">(Dota 2) Sniper's Shooting Star's custom Assassinate animation</a> At the same time I had my YouTube channel, I was collaborating with 3D artists to create Dota 2 Workshop items. This one made into the game.</li>
<li>pt-BR Volunteer translator for the 2007-era Valve games: I helped build the official pt-BR translation of games like Portal and Half-Life 2. I have also translated hundreds of pages of the official Team Fortress 2 Wiki, making me one of the few people in the world to own a <a href="https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Wiki_Cap">Wiki Cap</a> in TF2. You can find me as "Swordz" in <a href="https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/List_of_Wiki_Cap_owners">this list.</a></li>
<li>(a bunch of small iOS apps I created to solve very specific problems that are sadly not available anymore)</li>
<li>(a bunch of Unity games I made between 2012-2015 that are sadly not available anymore)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Open Source</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/apple/swift">Swift Programming Language</a> (contributor): I've authored and implemented <a href="https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/proposals/0290-negative-availability.md">SE-0290</a> (Negative Availability, a.k.a <code>#unavailable</code>). I've also contributed with many bug fixes and improvements to the syntax highlighter and helped port some of its features to Swift's LSP when it was first announced.</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/rockbruno/swiftshield">sourcekit-bazel-bsp</a> (author): A tool for for enabling iOS development in IDEs like Cursor, specifically for Bazel projects. Used actively by Spotify and many other large companies.</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/rockbruno/swiftshield">SwiftShield</a> (author): Compile-time code obfuscation for Swift apps. If I'm not mistaken SwiftShield was actually <a href="https://mas.owasp.org/MASTG/tools/ios/MASTG-TOOL-0068/">recommended by the OWASP Foundation</a> and other iOS security experts at the time, though this has since stopped being the case as I lost interest in maintaining the project and recommended against its usage in production apps.</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/rockbruno/swiftinfo">SwiftInfo</a> (author): CLI that extracts and analyses metrics relevant to Swift apps such as app size, number of dependencies, number of warnings, and more.</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/rockbruno/writeit">WriteIt</a> (author): Static HTML website generator for blogs. The tool that powers this very blog!</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/rockbruno/RouterService">RouterService</a> (author): Type-safe dependency injection framework for highly-modularized apps. A simplified version of actual DI frameworks used in Spotify and AirBnB.</li>
<li>(many small contributions to various open source projects not interesting enough to mention individually)</li>
<li>(many other small Swift frameworks not interesting enough to mention individually)</li>
