Tell him I really miss his podcast 😭

Only imagination is holding you back from your most lucrative scams ✨

Well, are you!?

Too late already sent $100, expecting a superbacker pack. Where do I leave my address for the merch?

Will second this, has been serving me well for 4+ years now!

This in turn also helps LLMs write portions of the UI for me. I’ve been using the new agent integration in Xcode 2.3 for the overhaul which is definitely simplifying the process. It even helps me discover new little tricks and modifiers I haven’t come across before!

Using more platform-native design also lets me leverage the more specialized SwiftUI components. Many screens are now built with Form, which comes with platform-appropriate styling, accessibility perks and performance benefits, all out of the box!

One thing I’m doing across the app is mimicking the Settings app way of handling inputs. Instead of editing in-line, you’re navigated to an input page. Also allows for expanded explanations and potential input specific extra bells and whistles (like a plus or minus toggle for balance adjustments).

Working on a big UI overhaul for Bartab. Looking through the app screen by screen is making me realize a lot of this hasn’t been scrutinized in a loooong time.

I’m no designer, so moving closer to platform-native design is certainly making things easier for me.

Ingen skada skedd, det kan hända den bäste!

Jag är med dig, Mackmor! Men du har taggat fel Johan Forsell, jag jobbar inte med politik 😊

Some fridays it’s not only legal, it’s necessary!

I can already hear it condescendingly call me a flesh bag 😅

This is the way!

Isn’t it at least a little rational though?

I swear some of you guys are just wizards 🧙‍♂️

A font maker named Kern? Talk about meant to be!

Never seen matchedGeometryEffect used like this! What exactly is it doing for this snippet?

Happy birthday! 🎉 🎈 You’re killing it!

Highly recommend this podcast for anyone who likes app development, indie development or both! Haven’t missed an episode since diving into the indie app world 😁

Ah. No that’s not something I’ve considered!

Yes, anonymous users will also be able to ask questions/give feedback through the in-app chat and also suggest roadmap items/vote for existing roadmap items.

Ok, check on all of these! Also created a paywall experiment to A/B test paywall designs! One with social proof and one with features listed. Not sure if I want to experiment with prices before I move to a freemium model 🤔

One of the most effective things you can do right now to fight Trump and ICE is to cancel your ChatGPT subscription.

The silver lining here is that 25% of the users who started a trial in the past year are still subscribed today, which I think is a pretty decent number?

Dug through the old database over at Firebase and the numbers look similar for the past year, with around 81% dropoff between download and paywall. Goes down to 95% if I filter for users still subscribed.

Yup, pretty brutal 🙃 will be interesting to see the difference though, once I get there!

VERY rough 😅 I knew I’m suffering from high friction but this was worse than I expected. No insights other than stated, which is to say the by far steepest dropoff seems to be at the paywall rather than the account creation.

And even if I manage to decide what to limit, I need to also find a good number. Too low and they can’t try it out properly, too high and they’re not incentivized to subscribe… Regardless I think them setting up menu items and customers will create some sort of investment at least.
