I came to Istanbul for an office event today. It’s been nice to see my friends and the colleagues who inspire me the most. πŸ₯ΉπŸ§‘

Updated my app's onboarding today with colorful backgrounds, animations, particles, and so on. Cursor helped a lot and I polished the details.
Tell me what do you think? Still thinking about adding questions and/or help us grow (asking for a rating) screen. ✨

Last week I also met with a dietitian and we ended up agreeing on a collaboration. She shared my app + her promo code on her IG stories today πŸ₯°

I’m just so hyped about my little indie app right now. Not sure what to improve next, just happy 🌸

Yesterday didn’t go as planned β€” had some full-time job tasks and a Ukrainian user reached out about translations for my app (found her on Reddit, my favorite place for feedback πŸ˜…). Her feedbacks about the app and translations are so constructive and valuable.

I’ll try to pick one or two tasks today.
Right now, I’m planning to add water tracking to my food diary and/or add some micro-interactions. #day1

1 month left for the new year, and I don’t have to wait to start my resolutions. I’ll start today.
I’ll update what I’m doing with my apps and work on improving my iOS development knowledge. My to-do lists are usually too long, and it’s hard to complete everything in a single day. #day1

Sharing this here because:
- If you feel the same, I see you.
- Saying it out loud makes me accountable.

There are core gaps in my iOS knowledge that I’ve been avoiding for a long time. I kept improving the areas that I was already comfortable with, instead of strengthening the fundamentals I actually needed. Now, I’m choosing to go back, learn properly, and build a stronger foundation. πŸͺΎπŸŒ³πŸ«‚ #ios

Just saw your mention I don’t know why I didn’t receive any notification. Sorry for the late reply, actually I didn’t do any specific strategy to gain visibility in Tanzania that’s why I said β€œI don’t know how it happenedβ€œ πŸ˜‚ I wish I could help πŸ™πŸ»

Oh… Actually my app’s UI changed as well. So the old one was not reflecting the actual UI. But I understand your point, thank you for sharing ✨
