Here’s a rough plan for a “hello world” that’s simple enough to be achieved in the short term, but hopefully not too trivial to be accepted into the app store.

This is sketched out on GoodNotes 5. I started with the Apple Notes app, but was frustrated by not being able to mix text and drawing. Noteabilty looked great, but the once off purchase for GoodNotes was easier to swallow.
Ignore the “Friday”s in the design above – they should be Sundays. Basically, the user selects a year, and the app says the day for the Easter Sunday that year. If the user needs the date for something, they click on it and it’s copied to the clipboard, or perhaps opens up in their calendar.
I do have an accessibility concern about those scrolling number pickers – what’s the sight impaired experience? Maybe Apple’s already solved that since they seem like a common UI thing.
