You got this!

English. I hate watching live action stuff that’s dubbed English but this is different of course

I platinumed Tsushima. Not finished Yotei yet, but I don't think I'll go for this platinum either

Keyword installs are definitely a thing, and I’m fairly certain an app competing with one of mine is using them. I’ve started getting emails like this from shady companies, and I reckon they’re just reaching out to anyone competing with whoever they’re working with.

Yep, after months of grinding with the hopes of using shipaton to boost the launch of my new app it is extremely disappointing but shit happens. It’ll hopefully go viral some other way 😂

Hey Nico, I have. It made no difference unfortunately.

Day 5 of waiting for my #shipaton app to get a review. The odds aren’t great, but it’s completely out of my control so I’m using it as an exercise in Stoicism rather than letting it drag me down.

If I enter next year, I’ll be aiming to release in August.

Over 36 hours since I submitted my #shipaton app for an expedited review and it still hasn’t been looked at. I’m gonna be so bummed if it’s not live in time after all that work 🫠

If it was useless and had no substance Apple wouldn’t have featured it haha.

Step back and detach :)

I thought I was the only one playing Mario Kart while Claude slaved away in the background!?

The Road to Burnout Changing Direction Before You Get There

I wrote about the routine that keeps me consistently productive as an indie, and what it took to get there.

Aw, that’s a shame 🙁

Any noticeable traction from it so far? 😮

Have you spent time in Ireland, Ahlem? "You'll be grand" is a very Irish thing to say 😄

Those reviews are incredibly frustrating. You handled it very elegantly :)

I’m looking forward to seeing the results of Matt’s changes. What is your conversion rate like at the moment? 😄

Should you do Lifetime Promo Giveaways for your Apps Are temporary download boosts worth it?

If you're considering doing lifetime giveaway promos for your app, I wrote this for you. I got 3,000 downloads in 2 days from one, but in most cases I'd never do it again.

On average, they take a day to start a review for me, and a couple hours to do them. They did one this morning that was approved in under two minutes though 🤷‍♂️

Synquizitive Goes Viral for a Day A brief moment in the spotlight

You never really know what’s going to happen when you release an app without any marketing, but it’s unlikely to get much traction nowadays. This is the story of the second indie app I shipped in 2024.

This has been fixed, let’s see what it’s all about

Insective - my take on an AI powered bug identifier app is now live. It’s detective themed and uses Naked Gun style humour.

Hoping the Apple boost leads to some subs. So far, 1 trial.

Well, #threads is a piece of shit. I was on it for 2 hours or so before my account was suspended for no reason 😂
