Why are people always doing their best to insult you 😅

The cargo bike with promo stickers: check
Now let’s see that website traffic spike 😂

What apps/sites are people using to track and share spotted planes?

Should I build this?

Foggy days over north west Europe are not good for business 🌫️

@revenuecat.com is there an option, or can we get an option, to toggle the graph to not start with 0 but with the lowest value in the chart? This graph looses a lot of nuance imo.

First time I’m seeing Waterbomber outrank AirAssist in daily downloads. Winter is normally the low season for both apps, but with the LA fires that changed a bit.

Waterbomer trial starts. You can see when Twitter accounts tracking the LA fires started noticing the app 📈

0 days since I wondered why review was taking so long but turned out I forgot to click this button again 🤓

Testing different weather providers. The ones that let you easily test the data, actually have poor data quality 🥲
The other ones force me to do sales calls, which I try to prevent.

Showing a notification for Android users on the iPhone build of your app is not the cross platform code share we’ve hoped for 😅

Still liking the design of my very first published React Native app from ~7 years ago.
The sun (or moon) shows how far in the daylight or night cycle you are.

git commit -m “fix nullpointer”

Whenever my app detects two heli’s responding to the same incident, a “major incident” notification goes out to the users.

This spikes traffic to the app so much the load time goes from <1s to ~10s. Need to look into better handling this spike 😅

I know that @airassist.app has sort of a seasonal MRR trend. But always when the low season hits I get nervous. Checking the year-to-date chart helps keep me sane 😅

I just realized I completely fumbled my ASO on Google play after renaming my app last year. Going to make some localized alternative store listings to try to fix this 😅

Live data is the most important thing I’ve got for my apps. I’ve built in multiple fallbacks, alerts and automated script restarts when the data stream starts to fail.

However these notifications never fail to raise my heartbeat 😅

Ok let’s get this party started! I’ll be posting mostly here about my two apps AirAssist.app and Waterbomber.app! And perhaps some developer related thoughts in between!

Always looking to get the conversation started on anything product and design related 🙌
