1/ I spent a weekend using the new Composer-1 model from the Cursor team, and I tell you what, it makes me feel alive again 😅

1-minute tip to improve the "shareability" of your website.

Go to Open Graph website www.opengraph.xyz and check your meta tags and images.

If yours looks like this, you're loosing easy points 😅

Found this in my terminal history, what was I up to back then 🫣

Don't worry it won't work 😆

This reminds me why I do what I do 🫠

Hearing this kind of feedback and seeing the impact firsthand points exactly to why we built this product in the first place.

Great to see Josh joining this journey 🙌

Come along too!
Real stories. Real founders. Real growth. 🚀

Josh, founder of Orbit (beautifully designed subscription tracker app), tried @MobileAnalytics.io and discovered Orbit was crushing it in the US 💪

Now his company has a whole new market to focus on! 🌎

We love celebrating founders. Got a win? Share it 👇

🚨 How Apple broke our app for 24 hours - without notice.

This is a wild story of how our entire subscription system vanished overnight.
No warning. No email. No support response.
Just chaos.

AI gives you the tools to build lots of garbage really quick, so that you iterate faster and create smth great in the end

1/ Steal my killer AI design workflow - sorry Figma 🥲

This is my go-to workflow for trying lots of design ideas fast before investing time into actual implementation.

1/ 🚀 Better decisions start with better visibility.

As mobile developers, we have so many important decisions to make all the time – pricing, features, bug fixes, updates, UX, etc.

Ending the experiment with Tier 3 Android ads at £0.04 per install

It probably won't break even, but let's wait a few weeks ⏳

P.S. Lots of 1-star ratings because the app is paid - downside of targeting cheaper regions

Unbelievable, after I fixed the free trial toggle on the paywall, I actually...
Just broke it the other way around 🕺

After my last update no-one could disable free trials 🚀

That's how you do business

After removing the rc-ignore tag, it hit 50 Android trials in a just few hours.

I'm testing an ad campaign in Philippines to confirm all Android events and revenue values sync with Firebase, Google Analytics, and Google Ads.

Cheap traffic is perfect for this 🧠

Okay, now that makes more sense 🙈

People DO enable the free trial toggle, as long as it actually works ahah

Let's see if throwing Android trial events into the mix will confuse the hell out of Google Ads

1/ When RevenueCat went down, so did revenue for thousands of apps.

It was a reminder of how fragile billing setups can be - and for iOS founders, one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make - how you implement it.

There are two main paths for handling billing:

1/ 📱 Why no SDK is a big deal for mobile developers

Most analytics tools ask you to embed SDKs, update your app, ship a new version, and wait for enough data to trickle in before anything useful shows up.

We thought that was…not right.
October 21, 2025 at 10:58 AM
Here's a direct consequence of the RevenueCat outage 🙁

Tbf It's not them to blame, it's AWS that fell, which is the best humanity's got.
But this doesn't change the point

Think 10 times before using a third-party service in the critical path of your application, like billing.
October 22, 2025 at 7:03 AM
Smth we've built to learn who's actually paying us and when they renew, change plans, cancel etc. the craziest part is that all this data is coming directly from Apple
1/ 🤔 Ever wondered who your top customers actually are?

With Mobile Analytics, our “Customers” tab gives you real-time visibility into payment journeys.
October 21, 2025 at 11:15 AM
1/ Always test in production, kids

See this tag on the screenshot?

Unlike in iOS where the billing can be implemented natively easy-peasy 🍋🍋, for Android we use a third-party - Revenue Cat, which has tricks and custom behaviours to know about.

Redesigned the Steps & Beasts paywall! 🎨
It now fits the app much better.

Also added social proof for the first time — everyone says it helps with conversions, so let’s see. 👀

Thanks @alekseyrozh.bsky.social for the inspiration! 🙏
