Stop Losing Money on Subscriptions: How I Took Back Control with SubStatus

Image
  We live in a subscription-driven world. Netflix, iCloud, Spotify, fitness apps, productivity tools — everything is billed monthly or yearly. At first, it feels manageable. But over time, subscriptions quietly stack up… and before you realize it, you’re paying for services you barely use. That’s exactly what happened to me. The Problem I Faced A few months ago, I checked my bank statement and noticed something frustrating — I was being charged for multiple subscriptions I had completely forgotten about. Some were small amounts. ₹99 here, ₹199 there. But combined? It was a significant monthly expense. Even worse: * I missed renewal dates * I had no clear overview of active subscriptions * I kept paying for apps I didn’t use anymore I tried using notes, reminders, even spreadsheets… but nothing really worked long-term.

RxSwift vs Combine: Which Reactive Framework is Best for iOS Development?

Image
  Reactive programming has become an essential part of modern iOS development. Instead of manually managing callbacks and delegation patterns, reactive frameworks allow developers to  handle asynchronous data streams elegantly . When it comes to iOS, two major players stand out:  RxSwift  and  Combine . Both frameworks let us work with reactive streams, but they have different histories, ecosystems, and trade-offs. In this post, we’ll compare  RxSwift vs Combine , explore their strengths and weaknesses, and walk through a simple example to help you decide which is best for your project. 🔹 What is RxSwift? RxSwift is the  Swift implementation of ReactiveX (Rx)  — a cross-platform reactive programming library. It has been around for years, well before Apple introduced Combine. Open-source  and widely adopted in the iOS community. Large ecosystem with operators, community support, and third-party libraries. Works on iOS versions earlier than iO...
