20 days ago I built a silly MacBook app: slapmac.com .
Yesterday I was guest on @kimkomando show explaining it to millions of Americans.
This timeline is crazy.

Netherlands approved FSD!! 🎉
Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt
NEWS: Dutch regulators (RDW), which just approved @Tesla FSD (Supervised) in the Netherlands, have just issued an official statement: "Due to the continuous strict monitoring of the driver in the vehicle, the system is safer than other driver assistance systems. We have thoroughly researched and checked this system, more than a year and a half. The RDW has issued a type approval for Tesla's driver's assistance system, FSD Supervised. This driver's assistance system has been extensively researched and tested on our test track and on public roads for more than a half years. Safety is paramount for the RDW. The proper use of this driver's system makes a positive contribution to road safety." This approval from the RDW clears the path for approval in other European countries. Tesla owners in the Netherlands will be receiving FSD (Supervised) on their cars shortly. Amazing day!

@alecbabaei Maybe a “per launch” pricing? (Which includes X screenshots)

Thinking about getting rid of subscriptions in #appscreenshotsai.
App builders don’t use such a tool every single month, and it doesn’t seem to make sense.

@h_derakhshanfar @Zeidabadi_Ahmad خب ۱۷ ساله که ماموریتش همینه. اصلا عجیب نیست. اینا ۸۸ قول دادن تا تهش پای نظام وایسن.
فقط این به جای کلاش که ۱۰ نفرو باش میکشن، با کیبوردش میلیونی قربانی میکنه.

ما ایرانیها امروزمان چون دیروزمان نیست. همه چیز به دلیل این جنگ و نتیجهٔ آن، تغییر کرده است.
فقط در یک کلام بگویم که فرصتهای زیادی در حال ظهور است. راه اصلاح امور کشور گشوده میشود و شیوهٔ براندازی به محاق میرود. منطقه نیز آرایش و ثبات عادلانهتری به خود میگیرد.

wow! iOS stores notifications content up to one month by default, regardless of which app it is!
The only way to prevent that is to disable notification previews.
International Cyber Digest@IntCyberDigest
🚨 BREAKING: The FBI has successfully extracted deleted Signal messages from a suspect's iPhone via notification storage, the place where all your notifications are stored for up to one month. Notification storage stores data from all messaging apps, it's a big flaw in iOS. But there's a way to turn it off...

So, I finished creating the iOS version of SlapMac (the app that makes your macbook play sounds when you slap it 👋💨).
But clones beat me in time to the App Store.
Now Apple rejected my app as "spam" because it looks to similar to my own clones who got there first (some are even using my color branding and audio/image content too) 🤦. You can't make this up.
Nowadays building in public can backfire I guess.
Appeal in progress 🫠

@callmearef صددرصد و قطعا رفتنی هستن.

Increased #appscreenshotsai first free credits from 50 to 100. Enough for 7-10 screenshot designs.
Now, every invited user can make all screenshots of their app completely free.

App Store has a benchmark for Day 1 retention (also Day 2, 7 etc), reopening the app makes day 1 retention way higher. Though no one knows how much retention affects the app’s position in search.
Another reason is the fact that reopening makes the user more comfortable with the app, and a habit starts to form.
With a notification, like a reminder for something later, they’re less hesitant to open it. So, more possible to get converted.
I’ll write it more detailed in a post.

I have 7 apps live on App Store(#writey, #wardapp, #soundaidpro, #foodholidays, etc) 40k MAU total, growing gradually.
There are some controversial yet basic strategies for app growth. I’ll list them here, later will write a more detailed post.
•
Get in-app star-rating very early
••
Ask for notifications permission in the onboarding process
•••
Show two paywalls. Standard one, and another with a better offer
••••
Make the user do one quit and re-open the app later
•••••
Have a wide range of prices
••••••
Start as a paid app, make it free one day periodically
