Hi everyone, it’s been a while. I’m launching a newsletter to share how programming helped me find hope again. https://open.substack.com/pub/nitodev/p/how-code-became-my-lifeline?r=64y59v&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Hi everyone, it’s been a while. I’m launching a newsletter to share how programming helped me find hope again.

Hi, the app should be available now for all countries :)

Hi, I'm really sorry. I'm currently working on bringing back the app as soon as possible.

Hey Max, thanks for using the app. The app will be available again soon, probably during this week or next week maximum. It’s on a process of transferring to a new account.

For the first time, @subbifyapp.bsky.social has claimed the #1 spot for a keyword with a popularity score over 10! 🚀 Now the big question: will this translate into more downloads?

#buildinpublic #iOSDev #IndieDev

I just display the review prompt directly.

Yeah, everything counts. For the reviews, I started using an event approach which means on every user action the count will increase and after 2 important event, I will request for user review. It has been working really well for me so far.

I’d say it’s quite standard. Popularity is 25 and difficulty 28. Seems ok but really hard to jump into next position haha

I’ve been holding steady in 4th place for the same keyword for a while now. The good news is, I haven’t dropped, but I’m still strategizing on how to push into 3rd place and see what kind of impact that could have!

Getting so close to hitting $50 MRR! With some steady growth, I’m optimistic about reaching $100 MRR before the year ends. 🚀

You asked, I listened:

more complications are coming soon! 🚀👀

Here’s a sneak peek, and trust me, there’s even more that’s not shown here!

Can’t wait for you to get these on your hands… or should I say, wrists! ⌚ 😜

Working on a calendar view to track my progress over time has been a rewarding experience. While it wasn’t a feature specifically requested by users, it’s something I personally felt the need for. Hopefully, it will prove just as valuable to others as it has been for me.

Usually I try to translate keywords that I used for USA or I try to use competitor keywords for that particular localization to ensure the popularity is at least above 5. Not sure if that’s the best approach though.

I really appreciated. I will check it out !

Oh thanks Denis, that’s really interesting. ASO is totally different world to me so I’m learning something new every day haha.

I’ve been exploring keywords for my next app, but it feels like every niche is oversaturated.

Do you think these keywords could work? Let me know your thoughts!

Thanks Ryan ❤️

The difference between these two screenshots is just 20 days. They say the hardest milestone is hitting $100 MRR—let’s see where this journey takes us!

This year, 2025, should be all about refining my calendar to create more free time for personal growth. I’m also considering starting a new challenge that not only pushes me to grow but also allows me to share my learnings and failures to help others along the way.

Tracking my mood over the past few weeks has been a game changer. It’s given me a clearer understanding of how I’m feeling and how those emotions influence my daily life. I’m committed to continuing this practice to stay in tune with myself and improve my well-being.

Happy new year everyone !. If you want to start changing your life with habits, check out @ihabitsapp.bsky.social , although if you want to manage all your subscriptions in one place, check out @subbifyapp.bsky.social this 2025. Thanks !

Yep. Only iOS, I suppose that going for both, Android and iOS will increase visibility even though Android doesn’t generate as much as iOS but in terms of google search results could lead to better visibility overall. At least that’s my thinking, not sure about the real impact.

Thanks, Adam! Yeah, I was aiming for $25K too, but hey, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Let’s see what I can achieve in 2025 with even more time and effort to grow these apps!

I started my indie developer journey on September 27th, and in just 3 months, I’ve launched two apps: @subbifyapp.bsky.social and @ihabitsapp.bsky.social a. From $0 to $25 MRR, it’s been a slow but steady climb. Excited to see what 2025 has in store! 🚀

That’s great, congratulations ! What’s your next milestone?

Yesterday, Subbify hit a milestone with over 150 downloads, resulting in 12 trial sign-ups and 2 lifetime purchases! To top it off, the app unexpectedly ranked #167 in the USA.I didn’t make any change. Not sure what sparked this surge, but I’m not complaining! Haha.

Hahah. It’s just to remind me drinking at least 2l water daily
