I made a $5,709 mistake in 4 days. 😱
I'm new to Apple Search Ads.
So I followed @adamlyttleapps's visibility boost strategy. Exactly as he described.
One exception.
When entering keywords, omitting brackets = global matching.
Not exact matching.
Global matching across all countries 4 days = $5,709 bill.
That's more than my entire annual app revenue.
Does it hurt? Yes.
Will I do it again? No.
Don't forget the brackets. THE BRACKETS guys [[]]
Day 16 of building in public Lumo💫

What’s next?
Creating App Store screenshots with my favorite tool.
Google Maps vient de reléguer Apple Maps 5 ans en arrière.
Google Maps est maintenant propulsé par Gemini.
Vous pouvez tout demander pendant que vous conduisez.
Voici ce qui vient de changer : 🧵
From public reports:
RevenueCat: 115k apps
Adapty: 16k
Apphud: 14k
Superwall: 8k
That’s ~153k apps using subscription infrastructure.
The App Store has ~2M apps.
Meaning roughly 1 out of every 13 apps relies on these tools.
I'm a 1 y/o giving myself 12 months to hit $100,000 in revenue, walk and get my own house.
All I have:
Codex, Twelve Months and a Bottle 🍼.
I'll post daily: wins, losses, and everything in between Tomorrow is day 1, Follow to keep up
🎉 We just released Rotate Object in Photoshop (beta) 🎉
You can now rotate 2D images! 🤯
Then use Harmonize to add light and shadows, to blend it perfectly with the rest of the scene.
It's like Turntable in Illustrator, but instead of vectors, it's pixels in Photoshop!
When implementing a new window I like to ask Gemini to show me what it could look like.
Wondering how I was doing before....
Oh yeah, I was building ugly apps.
Day 11 of building an app to fight screen fatigue 🥊
Implemented the popover with the spirtes I generated with Gemini.
I think it looks fine but I feel something is missing.
Human intelligence peaked with my generation (taught with books).
Phones and social media already made Gen Z measurably dumber.
AI will finish the job. It does to your brain what machines did to your muscles.
