A calm habit tracker. Doable is designed for people who prefer simple apps and a minimal interface. No clutter. No overwhelming dashboards. No sign-in. Just track your habits, build streaks, and see your progress over time. Available on Appstore: apps.apple.com/us/app/doable-…

Are you an RC customer and want your app icon featured on our signup page? We're building an app icon wall ala WWDC 2009(?) and looking for volunteers. Reply with your app link and you hereby officially consent to me putting in on our website (this is legally official)

It has a bit over 100 downloads so far, someone even bought a subscription, and I received my first feedback email from a user. That was pretty motivating. Would love to hear what you think.

Habit trackers are a very crowded space. So I decided to run a small experiment and build a very minimal one. The app is called Doable and it's already live on the App Store. #BuildInPublic

Launched a habit tracking app one week ago, so far made a couple of lifetime purchases. Ofc it's good for revenue but would be better to improve MRR as well

@maks6361 do you optimize prices for regions? since in some regions 3.99$ price might be expensive

What’s the best way to grow your revenue? That’s right, just increase your subscription price 🙂 Bumped my weekly from $3.99 to $4.99 and yearly from $29.99 to $34.99. Going to leave it as is for a few weeks and then see if I should bump it even more.

@marcelojose_dev hi, does it support price updates for in-app purchases?

Got my first subscription from Slovenia just after changing prices using my PPP tool Use it for FREE here: github.com/lapreamarcelo/…

Built my first iOS app a year ago, eventually it failed and later on I just abandoned idea of building apps. Came back with more willingness and knowledge, took couple of months do get first 100$ from sales from 3 apps all together. Next goal is 100$ MRR, keep grinding 💪

@Jahjiren But does every app needs gamification? I think we should also focus on quality

If you make B2C Apps right now This is really good news for you Most people vibecoding got access to AI but don’t do research on how to win So most of the new apps will be terrible You can separate yourself from the rest by gamification of your app This is a great way to reduce churn %

@seraleev does anybody know if I should show this message on every data process? or it would be enough to show once?

Since Nov 13, 2025, Apple updated the App Store Review Guidelines (5.1). Developers now must clearly disclose where user data is sent, including any third-party AI services. The key part → explicit user consent. If a user declines, AI features must stay disabled. Many apps are getting rejected because this consent screen is missing. Worth auditing your onboarding and updating flows before your next submission. Sharing a few examples of how I implemented this in my apps (+ one from a friend).

@lorikmor I also got rejected with this kind of paywall, took a template in revenuecat that had highlighted price per week on yearly plan.

Heads up if you are preparing to submit an app this paywall will get you rejected. “Billed amount should be more prominent than abbreviated amount/period”

wow, this is the first time my app got approved from the first try #BuildingInPublic

@seraleev @adamlyttleapps I realized that you most likely need to squeeze everything from the initial boost, and get sales from day one. But what if you don’t have enough budget for marketing or you just starting indie app development?

Interesting video from @adamlyttleapps He built a $70,000/month app portfolio almost entirely on ASO. No heavy marketing. Just strong organic acquisition. Impressive milestone. But even Adam admits – growth has stalled. Why? The App Store is saturated. Simple utility apps are getting squeezed. Organic reach is shrinking. 👉 youtu.be/bXvpOt1Wtl0?si… Now the focus shifts to marketing. Adam outlines three approaches: 1) UGC (TikTok / Reels) Free in theory. Hard in reality. New accounts struggle to get traction. Results are inconsistent. In his case, he hired an agency – videos didn’t go viral, the account got banned, and the agency disappeared. 2) Google Ads He referenced my case – growing from $7K to $46K/month in a year using paid acquisition. It works, but it requires systems, tracking, and constant optimization. 3) Meta Ads + UGC creators Scale through hundreds of creators. Expensive upfront. But if it hits – it can generate tens of thousands of euros in a few months. He breaks down @niklogvinenko NaturalWrite case as an example. Main takeaway: The era of “launch a simple app and wait for organic traffic” is ending. Now the winners combine: Product + Creatives + Paid Traffic + Testing. ASO isn’t a magic button anymore. Welcome to the new phase of indie development.

Software Engineering Expectations for 2026 - The majority of your code should be written by AI now - Cursor/Codex/Claude Code/Gemini/etc - You should try all the tooling and switch between them, as each one gets an edge over the others depending on the release cycle. - You should be using AI to check the code that is written by AI - Have AI write tests - Have AI read logs - Have AI navigate your browser - I don't do this every time because sometimes it's simple enough to check it myself - You should still skim code changes - This can be a lighter skim on internal tools and a heavier read through on customer facing code - Use AI to help you define specs

@gaxeliy Начал с 250-300$ верстальщиком в веб студии в 2016 году

Пипл, какая была ваша первая зарплата в роли программиста? И в каком году? Интересуюсь, чтоб понять, насколько реалистичные ожидания у знакомых джунов. Чтобы было честно, я начинал с 33 тысяч рублей. И дело было в сентябре 2016го, а значит, доллар был +- 65 рублей.

@fillpackart Лол. В самом кз дока неста открывается только с впн 🤣

Открытие дня: дока nest.js не открывается с казахским ВПНом

Don't trust JavaScript programmers. All they do is promises but they never callback. 😉

Мне блядь очень нравится, когда желание жить как человек называют завышенной самооценкой. Типа, хочешь свой дом - да у тебя завышенная самооценка. Хочешь не жить от зарплаты до зарплаты? Ты охуевший самовлюбленный выродок. Откуда вот это вот взялось в людях, скажите мне
