My biggest mistake was buying a yearly subscription to an AI model.

The current ReSubs icon is too minimalistic and doesn't visualize the subscription well enough. Also, the color is too serious.
I will change the icon to a wallet with a positive blue background color.

WOAH! 🎉🥳 This is the first time I have developed and released an iOS application.
As an Android developer, I was never motivated to jump into the iOS ecosystem and build something. However, covering at least both mobile platforms is essential to grow a product.

I quit my job at KAYAK, even with an excellent salary, just to become a full-time indie developer. 🥳
Although the market timing isn’t perfect, this gives me more time to explore new opportunities to grow my apps.

Writing almost entirely without Swift code is possible with the new CMP 1.8 library and other improved libraries.
Only three Swift files are in the project: AppDelegate, ComposeView, and iOSApp.
The app ReSubs doesn't feel native in all aspects, but it gets very close.

Introducing a paywall during onboarding might seem like an obvious choice for monetization, but my recent experiment suggests otherwise. I ran an XP with a paywall on around 100,000 users.

• Ad Revenue: -21%
• Onboarding Closed: -9.7%
