New app launched, it's totally free for anyone who downloads in the first month (plz rate & review ❀️). Quit sucking on your ciggies, vapes and pouches. πŸ”— apps.apple.com/app/id6738918… Indie dev and app people roast my screenshots if you like I'll try not to cry

In Turin for the week for @swiftheroes_it, any indie devs/iOS devs also travelling alone and fancy hanging out, going for dinner, beer, generally chatting dev/business - drop me a DM! Let’s make new pals πŸ‘Œ

Anyone else in the Apple small business program noticed their proceeds drop to 30% lower than their sales in AppStore Connect since the beginning of 2025? This a bug or is something going on? From what I can see we don't have to re-enrol every year, right? #iosdev #indiedev

I'm committing to spending 50% of my time on marketing in 2025. Got started with an @indieappsanta campaign. ~4k downloads 30 App reviews at 4.8 Increased search rankings Lots of feedback VALUE If you're an indie app dev, I recommend giving it a shot for sure. #indiedev

Here's why @RevenueCat should pick me πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈ for the #RCGrowthChallenge Last March I wen't indie, and shipped my first monetised app BrainDeck. I worked hard to gain a decent conversion to paid and sit on the edge of ranking in the top 5 for my target keywords. I feel like I'm sat just under the tipping point to getting big organic downloads, and who would be better to help me get over the line than @stevepyoung and RC? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ apps.apple.com/app/id6476791…

Gonna be giving the ol Black Friday sales a go in one of my apps this year. Crazy busy with contract work but thought this would be worth staying up late a couple nights to test. What's y'all experience with this? Will post results πŸ‘€

Just spent 4 hours bashing my head against the wall because my SwiftData objects weren't being saved. I'd not added the model to the schema. coolcoolcoolcoolcool

Any iOS indies got any insights on how the AppStore boost scales if you have more languages configured from launch? Considering testing maxing out localizations (and respective keywords) pre-launch for my next app - hypothesis is the initial boost could be more significant. Previously I’ve launched with English countries optimised only for speed.

MVC, UiKit, zero protocols, direct use of singletons, iOS14 support. My latest freelance work is going to kill me guys. Send help.

Long time no update, ello X folks. October: - Took a holiday to Thailand and Vietnam. Gained 2 kilos. - Silently launched BrainDeck on ProductHunt and placed 10th (crushed my previous attempt that I promoted everywhere) - Reached 50 active subs. - Missed my $1000 revenue target by $150. Kept building. πŸ‘‹

Published an AppStore event for the latest BrainDeck update - noticed these replace screenshots on the search results, wonder how they perform in terms of conversion. Anyone got experience with this? #buildinpublic #indiehacker #iosdev #appgrowth

Going indie has made me realise I love designing UI/UX. I'm no pro at this, but there's something about taking a step back and thinking about how to bring value to the user, without worrying about the technical details that's soothing to me. #indiedev #buildinpublic #UXDesign
