Hello everyone! I completely forgot to introduce myself—shame on me! I'm an indie developer building apps in my spare time while working full-time and living with my two little ones.
I love creating useful, simple, minimalist things, and sharing the journey, yes, I will also include mistakes!

Instagram has to be, currently, one of the worst social media platforms to grow. They literally never show your stuff.

So, I can consider my iOS app pretty much done for now. I’ll let it settle and see how it performs. If the reception is good, I will continue working on it.
Meanwhile I have another project rolling. Too soon to give more details but it’s a saas this time. A simple web app.

Here we go again. App resubmitted and now we must wait… Took less than 24h the first time, that was not too bad.

For dabola.app my iOS app - backend I’ve built it in less than 1 week. The app itself took another week. I polished it for months (it still needs polish) - and it seems that the finish line keeps moving forward.
I started working on and off on it after building the backend and the initial screens

App rejected. Rookie mistake, forgot to ask the user before collecting data. I’m not collecting any data at all, but Google admob does.

I'm working on two iOS apps. One is using react-native with expo.dev, and the other is built with SwiftUI. Every time I need to make changes to the one built natively, I regret the decision I made to go with react for the other.
Apple dev exp is just better.

Gotta love building privacy, terms, conditions, and legal things to keep the GDPR police away. It used to be so easy before.

I had to drop the iOS widget idea I had for my app. It was not easy with Expo.dev, and I would have to do a lot of manual work to get it deployed and lose access to my dear $eas command.
Evan Bacon tells us how we can do it: evanbacon.dev/blog/apple-h... - just too much manual work now.
