The Resources macOS app has an SF symbol with a text document and a link icon layered on top of it

The categories are Sample Code, Documentation Guide, Developer Forum, and Download, and all of the goodies fit within those boxes. I already partially mentioned this for WWDC24 on the 108 Related Documents & Abundance of code samples articles, but after doing Transwwdcripts, I had the itch of also having an utility that allowed me search on the resources list and potentially have some added niceties (like displaying the content that mentioned a specific resource).

And that's it—a small macOS app named Resourwwdces that you can download right now, and let me know if you have any feedback.

Here is a list, in the same spirit as the last one, showcasing the articles mentioned by sessions, sorted by topic. 🔍Look closely at
Abundance of code samples (WWDC24)
Apple has made strides toward producing and updating sample code this year (as mentioned earlier). But discoverability could be boosted IMO. Currently, we do have a canonical categorization by technology, but it can be helpful to be able to browse through the same materials grouped by the session that they

I might have gone a little overboard and accidentally created a WWDC metrics browser
