@DrDootPhD this is what no "Sea of Sorrow" did to a man 😭

I JUST BEAT PATH OF PAIN USING A SAXOPHONE AS A CONTROLLER! It took 7 hours of dooting, one of the most physically exhausting challenges I've ever dooted. BRING ON THE SILKSONG DLC!!!

@RebornShadows i love it 😍🥰

Silksong was the biggest came and went game ever despite how much it got hyped up. I feel like I didn’t really see anyone love the game honestly, I didn’t play it but the impression I got was that it’s way too hard but nobody will admit it.

Team Cherry Holiday Sign-off! Hollow Knight: Silksong - Sea of Sorrow revealed, the original Hollow Knight refreshed, and more! Read the blog post here: teamcherry.com.au/blog/holiday20…

@twostraws Thank you for sharing. I didn't know about "replacing", until I read yours.

I feel like I'm destined to repeat this message until I die, but: rather than using replacingOccurrences(of:with:) you should almost certainly use replacing(_:with:) instead. (But only if you want to avoid the most random bugs you can imagine.) Details: hackingwithswift.com/articles/280/o…

@azamsharp In today’s TikTok era, where attention spans are short, many apps present their value proposition upfront during onboarding and immediately prompt users to make a purchase decision at the paywall. It’s somewhat unfortunate, but as app developers, we have to adapt to this trend.

@azamsharp Unlike in the early days, most apps used to let users explore the value proposition on their own and decide later whether to purchase or subscribe. (1/2)

I downloaded some apps to understand their paywall flow and I found something really strange. App starts with onboarding screens and the last screen of onboarding is the paywall. There is no way to try the app for free instead I enroll in 3 months free plan etc. Is this the new standard?

@ayaboch Once you find a good freelancer, stick with them! It’s not easy to find reliable ones. The only way to find good freelancers is through trial and error — expect some losses along the way. 2/2

@ayaboch From my many experiences hiring translators and voice-over actors, I’ve learned that: A higher price doesn’t always mean better quality, and a lower price doesn’t always mean worse quality. Reviews can be misleading — don’t rely on them too much. 1/2

i share a lot of exciting things about our company, so here's a less shiny side of last month's endeavours (looong rant): i burned nearly $3,000 on two different designers, one from upwork and one from x. the assignment was rebranding, and none of them got it, despite me providing a very thorough brief. both had good reviews or reputation btw, so i had my hopes up that i'm working with the best of the best. i had to cancel them after getting the week's work results. it was just the impression that they didn't care about our business (being a well-known company in its field) and delivering very basic or underwhelming designs, not fit for a company at our stage. and believe me, i'm not one of those people who don't understand what it takes to design. in fact, i've been there in my past life, and i was also the one who made our current somewhat branding and logo. i respect designer's work and i know it's not an easy job, but i also expect designers to help me get to a direction that's even better than what i'm able to envision, especially when it's a rebranding project which is on another level of difficulty, and given the fact that i'm not a designer. it's frustrating that even if you're able to spend the money, you can still get hurt by things like that. right now it seems like i'm gonna have to do it myself again.. tldr; i thought we could have completely new brand guidelines by the end of last month but here i am with nothing, and not really in the mood to take more risks

@CourtMakesApps I think you could make it a user preference and possibly lock it behind a paywall. I believe users would appreciate having such a feature.

I’m thinking of giving Verseful (my first app in which I have learnt an awful lot from so it’s due an update) a complete new look.

@BriansAngles @Superwall Hi, I wish that the “Revenue Protection” feature will be available in the free tier as well. Currently, it costs $199/month to use this feature. Thank you.

@Superwall We give you, charts, webhooks, and integrations, totally for free, forever! It's just a webhook transform--that shouldn't cost 1% of revenue! We make money when you use Superwall to make MORE money 🚀🚀🚀

Random Monday afternoon thought: For @Superwall we literally don't charge for *any* revenue generated outside of Superwall. We believe that by providing you tools to grow we don't need to have a perpetual tax on all your revenue. When you grow (using Superwall), we grow.

@chroxify @jakemor @Superwall Thank you very much for your clarification.

The new pricing only charges for Monthly Attributed Revenue (MAR), meaning only revenue that you make via Superwall Paywalls. If you use StoreKit directly or anything else to make purchases it counts towards Monthly Tracked Revenue (MTR), which is free forever! To access the Revenue Protection feature you’d need to be on the Startup Plan though, that means that your total cost all in all would be $199/m, no matter how high your MTR is.

We’re testing new pricing at @Superwall starting today. We’ll likely take a 20% haircut in MRR but we’re down to be more aligned with you. What you get for FREE: Everyone gets unlimited monthly tracked revenue for FREE, with unlimited webhooks, integrations and charts. - Our webhook payload is nearly the same as RevenueCat’s. - We have a full blown purchase SDK - a drop in replacement you can use with your own paywalls. Come on over for (literally) free. If you want things like Paywalls, Campaigns, Targeting & Experiments, these are also 100% FREE for up to $10K in Monthly Attributed Revenue (MAR) - money generated only by Superwall paywalls. If you make over that, we charge 1% of total MAR. That’s 4x more generous than RevenueCat. What you PAY for: - Surveys, Localization, Collaborators & more are $49/mo + 1% of MAR - Premium Support, Account Managers, and new AI Demand Labeling features will be $199/mo + 1% of MAR - Custom plans - agree to a minimum MAR of your choosing and we’ll drop our take rate if you eclipse it. So what does this mean? Let’s say you’re stuck paying $10k/mo to RevenueCat or Adapty on $1M/mo in rev, growing $100k MoM. You come over to Superwall and your bill drops to $0 immediately as you integrate. You get webhooks, integrations and a drop in SDK replacement. When you launch with SW paywalls, you’ll pay only 1% of new revenue ($1K/mo). Your bill may go up faster due to superior paywall capabilities 😌 What if you’re already a customer? Our commitment to you is maximum optionality. Stay on your $0.20/conv plan for access to everything or move to a cheaper plan as you please. Nothing will ever be taken away from you. You wont ever be forced to change. Happy to answer any Qs!

@jakemor @Superwall 3. I do not plan to use the paywall feature — all purchases will be handled directly via StoreKit 2. In that case, what would my monthly cost be if I switch from RevenueCat to Superwall? Let's assume my monthly revenue is $10,000. Thanks. 2/2

@jakemor @Superwall Hi, we're looking for alternative to reduce cost on RevenueCat. Do you welcome a client with the following use case? 1. If I only want to use the revenue tracking feature to understand a single user’s spending timeline. 2. If I only want to use the revenue protection feature. 1/2

@rebryk wow. insane! 🤯 is that fully organic or partly contributed by meta ads? is the actor one of your team members?

We created this account for the Fluently app just 6 months ago. Recently it hit 1 MILLION followers - that’s crazy 🤯 UGC marketing is out of control…

@aawoogie look like pad thai?

@adamlyttleapps @GarethHarte Yes, this made me wonder how Apple differentiates install spikes from paid ads versus app-gone-free campaigns. The explanation makes sense - paid ads bring genuine users, which aligns with Apple’s interests, while repeatedly attracting free users doesn’t.

@GarethHarte You did a better job explaining how it gets flagged Great read

I’ve had many developers dm me termination warnings after making their app free to be featured on those “gone free” sites All completely unaware they broke any rule This video is a PSA to all. Vidur was brave enough to tell his story. Hopefully we can shed some light on this and save other developers unneeded stress.
