If only these were reversed. I need to find a way to boost iOS traffic so it’s at least half of Android. #buildinpublic

I like adding gamification to my apps. I think these systems enhance the experience when they’re done well. Same for animations 😁

Building mobile apps is something I really enjoy, but I'm very curious to know how the indie game dev journey compares to mobile development. #buildinpublic #gamedev

I think the scenarios (quizzes) make the app unique in this space. Almost all lessons include 1–3 scenarios that test your knowledge, which is really helpful. #parenting #buildinpublic

All the content in this app is for women who are, or want to become, mothers. Now I’m thinking about expanding it for dads too. What do you think? #parenting

My parenting app has a lot of lessons and scenarios, and to manage everything I've built a dashboard in nodejs which helped me a lot to manage everything related content, also customer support.

I'm in a very strange situation with my parenting app, a lot of users are confusing my app with a website, and they are very frustrated because they payed there and they don't have premium on my app. I'm responding to 1-5 users every single day just to clarify this #buildinpublic

Having lessons, tips, and quizzes for all parenting stages is really valuable. It wasn’t easy to add, but it was 100% worth it.

As a pure dev brain, I understand marketing is important, but I'm still doing almost nothing about it, most probably I'm not the single one. I think it is time to change that. Marketing help us to escape our cave world, and put our work in the real world, getting real feedback.
