Sure! I'm an iOS dev myself and love sharing constructive feedback :) Looking forward to the next update.

I do agree Half Lemons does a better job than most of the apps that tackle this problem. Specifically I think the tag layout you’ve built does make it much faster to input your ingredients when you first download. So I did that and felt lik

I think if you looked at the newsletters that people are paying for, you’d see they are very different from most of the newsletters we’re familiar with. The newsletters that are treated like lead generation tools are not the ones making sub

When you write a new blog post and it gets emailed to your subscribers, wouldn’t you say that’s a newsletter?
67.
by alex_g 6y ago
Yeah this the standard approach, I don’t know of many newsletters that don’t make their writing available elsewhere.

by alex_g 6y ago
You could say that about any online content. And transactable value is not the only type of value to be found in the world.

Ha! I love that there's a word for that.

Do you find the idea of writing a newsletter compelling, or the idea of having a successful newsletter compelling? I started my newsletter because I recognized I was constantly thinking/analyzing a specific topic, but not really doing

I thought the newsletter trend was a bit ridiculous, and then I started writing one. Writing a blog feels a bit like throwing messages into the wind, and tweeting sometimes feels like trying to start a conversation in the middle of a concer

If you're not willing to go all in on community, this is the right decision. But you are giving up something. Rather than focus on the small commenting audience as a detraction, look at it as an opportunity to grow. 2% seems small, but

I used to hate subscriptions but now that I'm thinking about how to monetize the thing I'm building, I completely understand them. But I really appreciate this developer sharing their experience here. I would love a dataset that s

Do you consider "ongoing" to be synonymous with "server costs"? As someone trying to figure out a pricing model for a currently-local-only app, I'm genuinely curious.

I didn't want to share this in my comment at the risk of coming across as a self-promoter, but I've started writing about what I look at when evaluating an opportunity. https://www.getrevue.co/profile/AppleTur

> "Buying up small apps in the Google Chrome or Mac app store." This is a focus of mine. I've recently acquired a Mac app and I have a hunch that there are a lot of small Mac apps producing small but reliable income.

All of the above. Yeah TurboTax is great because they make it easier to do something nearly everyone hates to do and doesn't understand. So most people don't care about why Intuit is a terrible company because TurboTax is their on

It's not an exception, there are quite a few. Not a week goes by I don't come across an app that is clearly duping people into extremely expensive subscriptions, while at the same time, developers are having apps rejected due to h

I remember this. There were several other copycats but never as expensive as that one. It's been 12 years now and Apple still has not managed to find a solution to understanding the difference between excessively expensive scam/ch

Personally I would find this really helpful when evaluating a domain purchase. I can't tell you the number of times I've checked for the availability of pretty high quality domain, seen it's available but there's no way

This is cool! It'd be fun if you threw some from flippa in there and then revealed the asking price after voting.

I love this idea. There are so many financial apps out there but none of them actually help the average person plan things out and understand the effect of different decisions. Is there somewhere I can follow to receive updates on the proje

On a related note, I have been unable to transfer a repo for two weeks now. The sender is able to initiate it but no notification ever appears on my end. If anyone knows how to get the attention of someone at GitHub please let me know. I wi
