Today’s creation.

Starting a new ad campaign for Kope Soundscapes: Rest & Focus, while working on new things at the same time.

My Meta Ad experience this far has been one of learning the ropes more than anything else.

Thousands of clicks, tens of downloads and single digit purchases.

My technique: Tilt forward and move my legs in order to not fall. Continue until done.

(Watch app stopped mid-run for some reason. Actual distance: 10k. Based on time leaving and arriving, total time was ~58 minutes)

A walkway surrounded by large trees in a culturally protected park and cemetary.

Yesterday brought with it some news to process. Nothing catastrophic, but I slept poorly.

Today, I’ve deliberately spent just processing things. Reflecting.

Autumn walk, somewhat chilly out, gray. Not bad at all. It’ll be OK.

Tomorrow, it’s back to working again.

This video is the best thing I produced today.

Running a small business has had one upside so far:

Economic uncertainty, isolation and the often underwhelming outcome aside, I no longer hate Sundays or dread Mondays.

This is what work should feel like.

What I've learned from using AI IDEs when writing code:
I'm absolutely right!

A day in the life of a solo developer #dayinthelife #cookies

Part of it has been about getting out of my own way.

To build a first version of something that I myself use, knowing full well that it’s not all it could be from day one.

To ship something and say:
- Here. I’ve made this. I hope you like it.

The first goal of the project was to get something out there. Not just anything, but to not wait for too long.

It’s been a lot of first things. Accounts to set up, tools to learn. Webhooks and funnels put in place.

This week has been a learning experience.

Launched an app on Monday, first attempt at marketing on Tuesday, and working on next steps now.

The current funnel:
15k reel views > 350 clicks > 15+ downloads > 2 purchases

(App Store download stats are ~2 days delayed)

‎Kope Soundscapes: Rest & Focus ‎Kope is a straight-forward, friendly app that uses sound to help you rest, focus, and quiet your mind. No clutter, no fuss. This app does one thing well: it plays pleasant sounds. Sounds to help you...

Finally, I'm live on App Store.

Kope is my second iOS app ever. I'm loving the work and the process. Improved UX, design and quality (🤞) with every project.

New for this one:
StoreKit
iCloudKit

Kope Soundscapes: Rest & Focus
#app #soundscapes #rest #focus

Building apps is probably the greatest sense of flow and joy I get lately. Especially when I have enough peace of mind to focus on the process, and that it’s also about learning and incremental improvement.

Next: Get my iOS app - Kope Soundscapes - ready for review.
