Close to $2k with very minimal self-promo across a few sites. I mostly made it for me.

Unfortunately can't take credit on iOS here - the same app is 1.4mb on iOS - I assume because it isn't statically linking some part of the CloudKit syncing framework on macOS whereas it does on iOS? Or maybe SwiftUI framework is d

I copied an app from the App Store. Their business model was free desktop application but $20 for the iOS client and I really wanted it so I made a 'clean-room' implementation with CloudKit and charged $0.99 for a one-off cross pl

I wonder if Google does anything to accurately reimburse something like ad-naseum* clicks. I imagine the probably take up a non-insignificant amount of spend at the $6m level * https://adnauseam.io/

So far what i've send of the RCE i've seen so far has been a way of triggering pop-ups on the start screen - not to say its not more dangerous than that, but just thought i'd give some context. Most RCE's aren't car

What a vacuous comment. Granted in the early days you could give the benefit of the doubt that sure Magic Leap are trying to build some revolutionary AR - you could construe my comment as ill-natured. But go to Magic Leaps website now. Look

I sort of always knew it was the job of VCs to hype up their portfolio, but i've never seen it as bare faced as when Benedict Evans was shilling Magic Leap saying things along the lines of "Magic Leap was the coolest thing I'

That is seriously impressive for that short amount of time, fantastic work! I did comment elsewhere in this thread, but have since deleted, but I just had another question: Can you say a bit more about the OSS libraries I’m always looking f

How long did this take to develop? It’s absolutely delightful

> "With editing features that make Notes more of a datastore than just plain ol' text, the app could be interesting .. like, a JSON or XML editor overlay, maybe .. hmm .." Could you expand on that a little? Do you mean key

Hey thanks for the feedback. I'd start by saying that I am no way positioning this as an alternative to notes - we are aiming for two different things. This app is aiming to be the scrap of paper beside your computer you scribble on du

I absolutely hate to be that guy who links his own work, but I have seen my sales flatline in the past week and it's lead to me driving the price down of my app to the point where i'm thinking of just making it free for the exposu

One thing i'll note here as to a potential reason why they do this I just recently attempted to set up Facebook adverts for an app I developed. When it came time for me to set the metric up I obviously chose "App Installs" as

I left work due to burnout and wanted to try my hand at doing something creative - creating a new product. Had some time set aside for travel before I started, but then this all happened. Could not have picked a less convenient time to try

It's not. Design tools have had this kind of functionality for UIKit for years. Making views is absolutely not the hard part of mobile development.

Also just LOOK at this empty state. 12 buttons. And that’s apparently stripped down. Yikes. https://imgur.com/gallery/drOgDwF

I feel like I had an aneurysm reading this. For 6 paragraphs the repeat that they shrunk the lines of code down, that the rewrote the whole thing and that it’s a massive undertaking and that a message app should be small. 6 paragraphs of th
