I’m working on a language app with a conversational approach to learning. Right now you can talk to characters at different language levels, in different countries and scenarios. What features would you want in an app like that? #buildinpublic #iosdev #langtwt

@veryayskiy What's so good about lemon squeeze?

Recently, I have seen a lot of indie hackers switching from payment gateways to merchants of records, like Lemon Squeezy. What do you use? Stripe? PayPal? LS?

With the release of DALLE-3 I added character image generation to Langs so that you can see who you’re talking to. Every character generated is unique based on the country, voice and background you select. Excited for the future. #buildinpublic #iosdev #langtwt

@peakfluency_ That’s a good idea! I’ve been thinking of building challenges into the app and this would fit in there nicely. I’ll let you know when I make the update.

@smariojp Have you tried SwiftData or interactive widgets?

Since I've done with my 3rd app (CRUD App with CoreData + CloudKit), what should I build next to improve my ios skill? RealityKit seems interesting.. 🤔

Today I’m adding a language level setting to Langs that adjusts the number and complexity of words in a conversation. Here’s a comparison between beginner and fluent English. #buildinpublic #iosdev

I love trying new indie apps. Post your iOS apps below👇

@veryayskiy Thanks!

@SebGarbarek Looks good anyway!

Apple rejected a release because my app didn’t have a recording animation so I added this quickly, I’m not 100% happy with it but trying to move fast. #buildinpublic #iosdev

I’m no designer but I tidied up the subscription screen a bit. #buildinpublic #iosdev

Today I’m updating the subscription screen for my conversation based language learning app to offer an annual subscription option, this should hopefully reduce churn in the future. #buildinpublic #iosdev

@seanallen_dev @N1C0_MUC @CreatorViewApp Thanks, I’ll check it out, I watched your videos years ago and they helped me a lot back then.

@SebGarbarek @N1C0_MUC @CreatorViewApp I dissect the experiment showing review prompt right after onboarding in my video series about building the app. I show the results of the experiment in detail if you're interested. youtube.com/seanallen

Ratings are a major contributor to App Store rankings. If you're using @CreatorViewApp (or any app you enjoy), take a second to leave a 5⭐️ rating. It helps the developer tremendously.

@seanallen_dev @N1C0_MUC @CreatorViewApp Right after onboarding is interesting! I’ll experiment with that, 1-2 ratings for 20-30 downloads is a lot

@SebGarbarek @N1C0_MUC @CreatorViewApp I'm showing my review prompt right after onboarding AND at key moments in the app. I don't get a ton of downloads per day (20-30), but I'm getting 1-2 new ratings per day on average.

@N1C0_MUC @seanallen_dev @CreatorViewApp Nice! I’ll try every second app start, I thought it might be too early but if you have good results I’ll try it, what’s the app?

@SebGarbarek @seanallen_dev @CreatorViewApp I A/B tested a bit with that. In the end I have good success with showing the dialogue every second app start 😅
