Love this π
My little quit smoking app in the app store today! It's free. If you or someone you love is trying to quit smoking, this can help with motivation, cravings & more.
Please feel free to write a review (good or bad!)or share βΊοΈ

Trying to get my head around keywords and localisation in particular. It all seems a lot more complicated than I realised. But it's still fun learning and that's the main thing! #buildinpublic #iosdev #indiedev #solodev
It's 3am and I'm wide awake sooo...I guess faffing around with my app it is then?!? #iosdev #buildinpublic #indiedev
Awesome :) Mine are the same, v boring haha
Yes you're right I was really underestimating the wine needed ππ
Haha it's so true! It's never "this app is really bad" but it always feels like that anyway π thanks! Did yours get accepted in the end or are you still doing the dance?
Ok resubmitted and ready for round 2 of #appstore rejection and ego pummelingπ₯΅. The number of rejections is directly correlated with the number of glasses of wine needed to recover π

Ha I know right! To be fair it was because it doesn't display properly on an iPad and I actually thought I'd removed it for iPad so just need to do that. Just made me laugh how quickly they were like NOPE π
Thanks I'll definitely let you know if/when it's working haha! Let me know if you find any cool animation tools and how it goes π
That's exactly how it feels! π
My app went from "in review" to"rejected" in less than three minutes which I think is a personal record π€£ some wine needed in an extradited fashion π #buildinpublic #indiedev #iosdev
I'm using chatgpt to explain the steps for me and create the base image but not the actual animation, which I'm trying to do myself using Adobe after effects and Lottie (not successfully yet though haha!) I think there are AI tools that can do this though - I've heard people talk about nano banana?
3 paying users in week 1 is amazing!
Haha yeah the rabbit hole is always a danger π
That's awesome! How did it go? I'm chugging away on releasing a few different health related apps - just sent my most recent one to the Apple gods for review/inevitable rejection π¬π
Today I'm trying to get to grips with animations in my app - not exactly necessary but lots of fun and I'm down the rabbit hole now!

Love these types of updates - I always get inspired by other people building stuff!
Amazing day planned today! Did a 1 hour hilly run in the sunshine, then lunch with a friend later, then working on my app this afternoon. Evening = collapse on sofa with the #cat. Perfect Sunday π₯°

Had a big app session in wetherspoons today and got loads done. Added a native ratings request to my headache tracker, and got my quit smoking app almost ready to submit to the store.
But most importantly having an absolute blast and learning loads πͺ

Whenever i see "and honestly?" Or a list of three related things
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
I love this and it's so true
I had this with my most recent app, thought I'd got lost in the ether
That sounds perfect!
Highly recommend! π
Working on my app in wetherspoons with a pint of Belgian beer in hand... Honestly doesn't get better than this?! π #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?
