Hi everyone! I'am Vladimir, I'am creating apps for iOS with RN (and Swift). I've been making apps seriously since 2022, but only in Jan 2025 my revenue got $1K MRR. Month ago I quit my job for became an indie app developer. Here I will post about my journey. #buildinpublic

Today’s insight: if you load the data needed to display the paywall into memory in the background during onboarding so that the user doesn’t see the loader on the paywall, the conversion rate from install to trial increases by about 2 times. #buildinpublic

@nareshmj4 only organic

@c__basso Is it organic or ads

From $1K MRR to $2K MRR in 12 months. From $2K MRR to $3K MRR in 2 months 🥳#buildinpublic

@emilianoapps added more AppStore localisations

@c__basso Did you change anything in your strategy?

The combination of ASO for all locales in the App Store, SEO, and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) makes makeblur.com my fastest-growing project so far. #BuildInPublic

Have reached 1k trials per month in a very first time. #buildinpublic

next milestone reached #buildinpublic

@NabeelTvk no, I use fastlane

@c__basso manually?

Filled in all available locales in the AppStore for 2 more of my apps. #buildinpublic

The most important thing you can do for your indie career is put your face out there "But I'm shy/scared/not social" ... who cares? 99% of others are in the exact same position as you right now Stop looking for the next "edge" through AI or the next framework The edge is literally your face. You. And it's future proof. No AI is taking your personality from you. But it's coming after your skills. Put your face out there. Do it now
