The barrier to entry for apps has lowered considerably. It's no longer Dev skills that set people apart. I think in the coming years the biggest advantage will be patience& playing the long game - not giving up even when it all seems to be going nowhere.Good thing take time. #buildinpublic #indieDev

Working on my next app which is a quit smoking app. Got a basic home screen up and running. If you were trying to quit smoking what would be something that would help you the most in an app?

Ok onto my fourth rejection by Apple😭. They seem to discover new things each time. But in some ways it feels quite good as it feels like they're taking it seriously and I am a real dev?! Maybe I am delusional πŸ˜…

Getting close to shipping now. Should be in the next week or so😬
The app is a headache tracker, which enables you to track headaches and lifestyle factors and spot patterns/insights. It's completely free. If you or someone you love have chronic headaches it might help you discover why 😊

So yesterday's dufus move was to somehow uninstall flutter (?!) So now I've had to spend a load of time reinstalling the SDK and getting it working. Why does my brain refuse to brain?! πŸ˜…
