This backfired!! Someone with 150k followers Claude sent a DM to went on a rant about AI apps scamming people and taking their money when they can do everything themselves using ChatGPT lol She made really long stories ranting about how Im a scammer, showing people the app and calling it a rip off. She thinks Im a Turkish developer scamming people for their data 💀
I made what is perhaps the simplest app possible without getting rejected: A developer tool for visualizing system fonts in a list, with some basic customization options. That's it, nothing else. If you're like me, you're probably always forgetting the order of these in terms of size. The original idea was just a Mac menu bar app that can be quickly displayed over Xcode, but I added an iOS app as well, because why not. It's totally free, but has a tip jar for you devs with money burning holes in your pockets! Fonty McFontface 👇 apps.apple.com/app/fonty-mcfo…
ASO keywords looking happy today, let’s get the downloads! 💚
My paywall is semi-broken with a lifetime option placeholder but no actual price or ability to purchase 🤦♂️ The review team keep telling me I need to submit a new version of the binary with the lifetime offer included. I've done that 3 times. And each build has been approved while the lifetime offer rejected. I think it's because the paywall triggers *after* the user generates their first video in the app. So now I've resorted to having a soft paywall trigger at a normal place in the onboarding flow. Hopefully that's enough to get it over the line.
I love adding tiny details to apps. English (US) vs English (UK) localizations.
