Curious if experienced devs (Iāve got ~4 yrs myself) actually let AI run the whole appā¦ or just use it for boilerplate & low-level stuff? Not talking vibe coders here.
First launch spike is always fun to watch. š Apple boost + a few posts = downloads upā¦ and then reality kicks in š
I love building UI, but Iām terrible at designing it. Does that make sense?
Would you use (or pay for) an app that shows your bin collection schedule and sends you reminders so you never forget to put it out for pickup? It currently has ~400 downloads, 95% in the UK. Iām thinking about expanding it
Dusting off another side project today Itās been quietly sitting in the App Store for 4 months, pulling ~400 downloads/monthā¦ all 100% free. Now itās time to ship some user-requested features and think about paywall in near future
Good news: I got my first active subscriber. Bad news: itās meā¦ testing the paywall š
If your first app release feels like endless App Store rejectionsā¦ donāt give up. My Screenshot Editor app v1 was a struggle, but today the new update got approved on the first shot.
Funny how āsmall fixesā eat up an entire Saturdayā¦ spent whole day improving next version of my screenshot editing iOS app and Iām exhausted š©
v1 of Screenshot Editor is out. Saturdayās plan: ā¢ smoother onboarding ā¢ sharper App Store screenshots ā¢ fixes and small features Keep iterating.
Before AI building a product felt special. After AI App Store & Google Play queues feel endless, reviews are stricter, and both stores are drowning in apps more than ever
If your app is a dev tool (mineās for iOS devs), TikTok probably isnāt where your users hang out. Reddit? Works. But where else do you market to reach developers? Curious whatās been effective for you.
After 3 rejections, I finally shipped. š Screenshot Editor: ScreenCraft is live - a screenshot tool for App Store previews, built for iOS devs.
App Store: āWeāve found an issue with your subscription flow.ā Me: finds the issue with my will to live š¬
Been testing the new ChatGPT integration in Xcode 16. Compared to the web version, it feelsā¦ off. More hallucinations, less accuracy. Anyone else finding the built-in one less reliable?
The company I work for is going all-in on Devin AI-acceptance criteria, code, commits, PRs, builds, testsā¦ all AI-driven. Is it just us moving this fast, or is everyone feeling the same shift?
Two ways to play the indie dev game: 1. Go all in on one product until it works. 2. Build multiple, see what sticks, double down. Both can work - itās all about your style and mindset.
Day 5 in App Store review jail. Making the fake price look too real. Verdict: Rejected. Again. š” Tip: Make sure the āper weekā price never has a bigger font than the actual price you charge.
I build apps because I need them. First user, best tester, harshest critic. Solve my problems first, then share them with everyone else. Do you build for yourself first?
Juggling: š„ 9-5 š± Indie apps šāāļø Fitness š„ Healthy food š“ Sleep ā¦feels like a full-stack life challenge.
