Super Human

We just landed Super Human on iOS. Play your day, discipline, gamified. Level up for real. Quests over checklists. Free access for the first 20 folks. DM me for a code. apps.apple.com/app/super-huma… #indiedev #iOS

SuperHuman is still my favorite thing I’ve built. It’s my first app, and it took me about 8 months, not because of the code, but because of the design. I started building it after reading Feel Good Productivity by Ali Abdaal and falling in love with the idea of making personal growth feel fun. At the surface it has habit tracking, a bookshelf for reading, quarterly goals, an Eisenhower matrix, and a vision board. But the real magic is the game layer. The app opens with a comic style story where mysterious aliens called the Metrons attack Earth. Humanity retreats underground and starts the SuperHuman program to push people past their limits and earn their way back. You pick one of 7 heroes, and I designed most of them in pixel art myself (some started with AI concepts, then I converted them into pixel art). Complete quests, earn XP, and climb the leaderboard via Apple Game Center. It feels like my masterpiece, but because my marketing is weak, it’s also one of the lowest earning apps in my portfolio. Next I’m focusing on improving onboarding and the paywall, and I’m going to start posting more consistently on TikTok. I’m also considering partnering with an influencer on a revenue share to help with distribution.

SprintKit is out 🎉 It was stuck on “Waiting for Review” for 5 days, then got approved almost right away once Apple actually picked it up. SprintKit is a project cockpit for solo builders. Track time by project and activity, log income and expenses, and see profit and ROI clearly so you know what’s paying off. Download SprintKit: apps.apple.com/app/id67582989… Explore my other 4 apps: deadpixel-studio.com I can give 1 year free to the first 30 people who DM me. SprintKit is for managing real projects, so please only DM if you’re currently working on a project and will actually use it. I mainly want early users who can share honest feedback so I can make it better fast.

A 26 day app exit is already wild, but the real gold here is the distribution strategy behind it. Joseph’s interview with @CalebDeannn is packed with useful insights, especially around using pre orders, wishlists, and Instagram as the main growth channels. If you are building apps, watch this, learn from it, and apply it to your own product #IndieDev #iOSDev #AppMarketing #BuildInPublic #ASO

I love vibe-coding platforms, but nobody's talking about the dark side. I'm saying this because I see too many young devs (and even experienced ones) quitting their jobs to build apps full-time. When they go all-in on pure vibe-coding, reality hits hard, App Store rejections pile up, customers get frustrated, and bugs appear that they have no clue how to fix. Some burn through months of savings… only to earn back a fraction. That crushing disappointment makes them abandon app development entirely, even though this space is genuinely golden if you approach it right. That's exactly why I wrote this article, to reveal what pure vibe-coding won't teach you, and what you actually need to ship and maintain real apps that succeed.

@nikunjmathur08 Nick thank you so much 🙌 Glad the GitHub style tracking clicked. If you try it for a few days I’d love to hear what habit you’re building and what you’d want improved 🚀

Morning Pages come from @J_CameronLive’s “The Artist’s Way”, 3 pages of unfiltered writing every morning. No polish, no audience, just a brain dump. It clears mental noise, reduces overthinking, and unlocks focus for the rest of the day. Super Human now has a Morning Pages quest so you can build that ritual into your daily discipline. ✍️⚡ #Productivity #iOS #indiedev
