I’ve spent the majority of my professional life as a freelancer/contractor building iOS apps (& Desktop accounting apps) for startups, companies, even small shops, and individuals. I’ve worked on multiple apps that have over a million downloads and I’ve built apps -from…

Me 🤝 another all nighter Gotta finish this paywall TODAYyyy The funny thing is .. I’m able to pull a lot of 18+ hrs days on my startup without a single day off for several months straight, but can’t (even if my life depended on it) do a 9-5

Since nearly all of my downloads are coming from Social Media (specifically short-form content) I decided to TikTokify the FAQs and actually make them readable. Now they're just hooks 💀 and the answers are funny as well

Aight 92 downloads in a day - one more than Messi in 2012 I love seeing the results of my absolutely free marketing campaigns ($0 spent so far). At this growth rate, I don't even think I need paid ads anymore.

X is a waste .. at least for me Growing a small account in this platform is not easy at all, even with the verification’s reply boost. I’ve been seeing better results on Linkedin and Threads and my accounts over there are not verified, but it’s a lot easier. If you post…

Don’t stress it. You’re not a bad developer! Even Apple struggles with infinite carousels

Parsing srt files for Sub AI was a lot easier than I was expecting 😅 It’s funny how anything you would expect to be simple will almost always turns out to be a lot more complicated and vice versa. Fun logic you have there dear software This is day #26 of scaling an app to…
