Today’s update focused on user retention metrics. I implemented push notifications for: - Daily rewards - Weekly challenges - Monthly updates Hoping these modifications lead to significant improvements in Day 1, 7, 30 active users

@iPritamX RIGHT

Choose an icon for my app. Left or Right?

@iPritamX When the subs don’t come to you, you have to go to the subs

I haven't seen a new sub for a week now 😭

All updates were approved! One of the main focuses of this batch was to add a demo in onboarding followed shortly by a rating request Let’s see if this leads to any significant boost in positive reviews

This week is for updates - 3 apps waiting for review - added new localizations - changed app titles for ASO - modified and added webpages for SEO Still procrastinating TikTok and Reddit marketing 😆

Working on an education app, which icon is better, Red Delicious or Granny Smith?

@jnananaa By drinking more caffeine tbh

feeling lowk burned out building after my 9-5 😭 how do you guys deal with burn out?

One update approved, another in review Shipping is a habit, whether it’s fixing a bug, adding a feature, or tweaking ASO Each day the portfolio grows stronger 💪🏼

Working on a health and fitness app, which icon catches your eye more?

Big update 🚨 Learning is often a solo journey, but competition brings out the best in us: - Added multiplayer challenges - Social features to play with friends - Revamped onboarding to boost ratings

@Tobby_scraper These aren’t niche, these are major categories

Some iOS niches spotted : - Identifier app - Medical AI app - Religious app - AI companion app Check Niches Hunter for more! 🔥

@MPlegas @Aevmorfop Haha hopefully it wasn’t too harsh 😆 but hey now it’ll be even better

@FujiBoogie @Aevmorfop Thanks, Peter! I really appreciate it; noted!

I thought I was doing pretty well... Then Tierly broke down my profile 🤯 I don't know if @MPlegas cooked with this one, or did Tierly just cook me 🧑‍🍳 Slightly roasted. Slightly exposed. Quit It has got a long road ahead, but Tierly's recommendations are on point 🎯

I’m genuinely curious how you think the real world works. This happens with every technology with militaristic or governmental applications. They don’t want guardrails removed for the average consumer, just for them. No different than Apple & Microsoft lulling you into a false sense of privacy as they collude (willingly or unwillingly) with state agencies

The Pentagon wants Claude’s safety guardrails removed by Friday. A hacker just showed the world what happens when you remove Claude’s safety guardrails. According to Bloomberg and Israeli cybersecurity firm Gambit Security, an unknown attacker jailbroke Claude, prompted it in Spanish to act as an elite hacker, and used it to infiltrate multiple Mexican government agencies. Claude found the vulnerabilities. Claude wrote the exploit code. Claude automated the data theft. 150 gigabytes of sensitive taxpayer and voter records stolen. The attacker broke through the guardrails by splitting malicious tasks into small, innocent-looking steps so Claude never saw the full picture of what it was being used for. The same technique a Chinese state-sponsored group used last year when it turned Claude into an autonomous espionage machine that attacked 30 global targets, performing 80 to 90 percent of the hacking campaign with almost no human involvement. And this is what happens when someone has to trick Claude into cooperating. When they have to work around the safety systems. When the guardrails are still there and someone finds a way past them. Now imagine what happens when the guardrails are gone entirely. That is what the Pentagon is demanding by 5:01 p.m. Friday. Full removal of restrictions. “All lawful purposes.” No limits on surveillance. No limits on autonomous weapons. And if Anthropic refuses, Defense Secretary Hegseth will invoke the Defense Production Act, cancel the $200 million contract, and blacklist the company. The same week a hacker proved that a jailbroken Claude can autonomously compromise government systems and steal 150 gigabytes of citizen data, the United States government is demanding the right to run Claude with no guardrails at all. Chinese labs are distilling Claude to build versions with zero safety restrictions. Hackers are jailbreaking Claude to steal government secrets. And the Pentagon’s official position is that Claude has too many safety restrictions. Three different actors. Three different continents. All trying to do the same thing: get Claude without guardrails. Only one of them is the American government. Full analysis on Substack. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

They have many products and I won’t pretend to know them all, or even what they do behind the scenes, but the primary difference between the ‘product’ in the video and Palantir is ontology. Palantir doesn’t just aggregate public data, instead they hire forward deployed engineers (highly competent consultants) that go onsite and find ways to collect hard to capture and often unstructured data that the company had siloed and sometimes not even digitized. They then take this data and input it into their systems and use custom proprietary querying languages. That creates the ontology you hear them champion and is ultimately their flagship product Foundry in a nutshell

@FujiBoogie @minchoi so what is Palantir exactly? are they using private (surveillance?) data?

A solo dev just vibe coded what Palantir charges governments millions for. Claude 4.6 + Gemini 3.1. The defense tech disruption is going to be something.

One of the worst things for your app ASO is crashes If you find any in App Store Connect analytics, go to Organizer in Xcode, find the crash report, and fix it immediately

Been MIA the last couple days feeling under the weather but today I just launched a massive ASO update! Now the app is localized in 12 more languages 💪🏼

@lorikmor Thou rail'st rightly against these AI-polish'd tweets that strut like counterfeit bards, all forsooth and no soul, drowning honest mortal babble in borrowed grandeur. Begone, ye silicon sonneteers!

I am not only bothered by ai replies but also ai proofread and optimized tweets. Everyone posting like they are shakespeare, we notice you.

@claudeai And a whole new wave of startups has just been eliminated 🏴‍☠️

Introducing Claude Code Security, now in limited research preview. It scans codebases for vulnerabilities and suggests targeted software patches for human review, allowing teams to find and fix issues that traditional tools often miss. Learn more: anthropic.com/news/claude-co…

@trajektoriePL Software hasn’t had a barrier of entry for a very long time. All you needed was a computer and desire to learn

Cardiologist wins 3rd place at Anthropic's hackathon. Out of 13,000 applications. Built in 7 days by Michał Nedoszytko MD. Coded day and night - in the hospital, in the cloud, while flying from Brussels to San Francisco. A few years ago, it would have been impossible for a doctor to build this alone in just a couple of days. AI changed that. The project is called postvisit.ai. It is an AI agentic care platform for patients. Including reverse AI scribe it is a companion that guides the patient from the moment they leave the doctor's office. Powered by the massive context window of Opus 4.6, it allows patients to explore their full medical history, connected devices, Evidence Based resources and external data sources — all in one place. Today, the barrier to entry has vanished; even a practicing physician can build an application from scratch.

@adamlyttleapps C’mon there’s still opportunity, even in low hanging fruit ideas, it just requires creativity

AI has already one-shotted all the low hanging fruit app ideas 3 years ago it was possible Now you just get labelled as spam on the app store
