Even if it’s just $1, it hits different when someone buys your app 💙

Just pure ASO magic doing its thing ✨

Currently working on my last app of the year — hoping to make it the biggest one yet 🚀

#buildinpublic #iosdev

📅 Day 1 of building an app to make studying less painful 📚

✅ Researched study habits + keywords
✅ Setup project + Supabase backend
✅ Integrated “Sign in with Apple”
✅ Built prompt-based note generation
✅ Posted first TikTok to start pulling in early users
#buildinpublic #swiftui #iosdev

Do you think study apps (like Feynman-style learning tools) can still make good money in 2025? 🤔📚

I keep spotting popular keywords with low competition…
but the market feels oversaturated.

What’s your take ?

#buildinpublic #swiftui #indiedev

🚀 New update on TryOnCam!
You can now paste an outfit image URL directly → no more slow uploads.

Faster. Easier. Smoother virtual try-on.

#buildinpublic #indiedev #indiedevs #swiftui #iosdev

Building in Public - Day 1 🚀

Exploring the gut health space after seeing rising interest & concerns.

Did ASO research → found strong keywords to help an app rank & grow.

Excited to build in public and share the journey.

#buildinpublic #swiftui #indiedev

Day 1/7 days marketing only 🚀

• Commented on Reddit & X about my virtual try-on app
• Scheduled launch on ProductHunt
• Posted on TikTok, Instagram & Pinterest

🚀 Just 1 hour after launch…
Got my first weekly subscriber for my virtual try-on outfit app 👕✨

Idea validated, now time to market it well
Let’s gooo!

#buildinpublic #swiftui #indiedev

🚀 My biggest Apple Store payout of this year ($1117)

Hoping to break my own record in coming months

#Tip: Productivity apps still sell - you just need to market them well.
This one? A simple bookmarking app I originally built for myself... and it's been quietly paying off

I was just doing some ASO research for timer apps

Saw lots of good/popular keywords with avg difficulty.
But honestly feels hard to make $$ here since many devs offer them free.

What’s your view?

#buildinpublic #swiftui

13 hours after launch → First sale! 🎉

ToMoment just made its first $$ ✨

RevenueCat is not showing my app icon for some reason but WHO CARES 😂

Indie dev life hits different when you see that first notification

#buildinpublic #swiftui #indiedev

Found a crazy ASO opportunity in the countdown app space 📊

So I built ToMoment 🚀

Your special moments deserves better than boring calendar alerts.

What’s your app marketing strategy? 🚀

A) Build waitlist → Launch with discount
B) Build in public → Create hype first
C) Ship then tell the world

#Buildinpublic #swiftui

just cooked up this logo for my event countdown/countup app ⏳🎉
be honest… tell me your views

#buildinpublic #swiftui #indiedev #iosapp

That is great. I do graphic work on canva. I’ll surely give it a try for app promo as well.
Thanks for the recommendation!

What’s your go-to screen recording app for iOS app promos? 🎬

Need those smooth zoom effects and cursor follow animations that make demos actually watchable

#BuildInPublic #SwiftUI #iosdev

This app keeps bringing new users every week and I’ve been doing absolutely zero marketing 📱

Been busy with my new app, haven’t even updated this one. But $4.99 lifetime purchases keep coming in 💰

Maybe I actually need to start marketing it?

#BuildInPublic #IndieDev #iosdev

🚀 Launching my new app this Friday!

I noticed many countdown apps miss personalization — so I built one.
Plus, ASO keyword trends show this niche is 🔥, so it’ll also be a fun experiment to test my ASO skills & learn which markets monetize best.

Let’s see how it goes 👀✨

#BuildInPublic #iosdev #dev

Yesterday I wasted HOURS building a time-based update system with Timer. ⏳

Then I found out SwiftUI has TimelineView built-in.
5 minutes later → working perfectly. 🤦‍♂️

Lesson: Your toolkit is only as good as the tools you know exist. 🔨

#SwiftUI #iOSDev #swift #buildinpublic

How long does it take you to go from idea to MVP launch?

#BuildInPublic #Swiftui #indiedev

Ran a promo for my app PostPocket on AppRaven.
Spent $95 → Already made $59 back.
📈 Other apps got a boost too.
🔥 1 more day to go.
Tomorrow: I’ll reveal the ASO impact. 🚀

Building With AI While Still Learning: My Cursor Workflow Have you ever built something so fast with AI that you had no idea how it actually worked? That was me.

I just shared my take on building apps with Cursor and my workflow using it. If you use any AI-assisted tool for building, this might give you a fresh perspective.

Have a look → medium.com/@shivamrishi...

#Cursor #ai #BuildInPublic #swiftui

What do you think about my new app?
Launching this on sunday

#BuildInPublic #indiedev #swiftui #iosdev

Forgot I listed my checklist app for launch on Uneed.

Got an email today that it is live.
28 upvotes already and sitting at 4th place with zero marketing.

Let’s see if it can break into the top 3 👀

#BuildInPublic #Indiedev #SwiftUI

Been using Ask Mode over Agent Mode on Cursor lately.

Feels like I have way more control and clarity over what’s happening in the code.

It’s slower, but I actually understand what’s going on before making a move.

Highly recommend if you hate surprises in your code.

#BuildInPublic #swiftui

I’ve got multiple apps live on the App Store and writing new updates gets messy sometimes

Just want something clean and minimal to jot things down and check them off once done

Any app you’d recommend that’s super lightweight but effective?

From the SideProject community on Reddit: I just hit $203 in revenue after launching my new app last week – here’s what worked Explore this post and more from the SideProject community

Sure, here’s the link to the reddit post

www.reddit.com/r/SideProjec...

I’ve found sharing insights about your app and your learnings gives you high engagement on reddit.

Posted insights about my new app on a subreddit
Got 24K views in 7 hours with solid engagement 🔥

Reddit is brutal
But when you share in the right format, it pays off

Only 2–4 sales
But gained good karma and visibility
Still a win-win 💬📈
