What's your type? I feel like I'm all of them 😂 Mainly a marketing avoider though...

Day 16 of posting a slideshow on TikTok to promote studywithnoko.com Total views: ~16k Total likes: ~2.5k I don't have any attribution/tracking in place to measure downloads, but the number is close to zero. In general, slideshows without a CTA perform much better (makes…


Congrats to the #shipaton winners! I didn't win - so what does this mean for my app Noko? I am NOT stopping. I've already built & partially released improvements to the reward system. Next, I will work more on the app's retention. But: Noko hasn't gotten a newly registered user…

This has now been released! It was interesting to dive back into LiveActivities - my last contact point was the video I made when the API first came out.

Noko 1.1.0 will include bugfixes and a first live activity that lets users continue their study session outside of the app. After that, I'll get back to making the app feel more like a game 🪄🎮

TikTok marketing is so hard! - I started by posting daily devlogs about Noko for 10 days - Then I found a slideshow format with literally 15-20x engagement - I tried other, similar, slideshow formats that all tanked - Now my "winning format" also started to tank once I added…


I currently just side-by-side the app & website...

ChatGPT-feature I REALLY want in the macOS app: multiple windows. I'd like to have multiple chats open at the same time (e.g. one to brainstorm and another to generate images).

As Sora-2 still isn't formally available in Europe, I vibe-coded this API client. It supports sora-2 and sora-2-pro, with both horizontal and vertical video orientations. Users can start with just a prompt or optionally include a start frame image (that's automatically resized to…

Apple just ended the corner radius formula debate forever with just one single modifier on iOS 26

1. I screen record my iPhone while using the app. 2. I pick the most eye catching interactions. 3. I write copy to pair with each action to spark curiosity, create FOMO and keep viewers hooked to download the app. 4. I edit it all in CapCut on macOS. You need to find the…

Yeah, totally agree. I wanted to add it to my apps too. How do you create it?



Noko's next update will introduce live activities while studying! This means that users can background the app and even lock their device while using the Pomodoro Timer. I'm excited for this feature, as it was originally planned for version 1.0, but cut due to time constraints.

Apple is scanning screenshot text with OCR – and it counts for ASO Kept it simple: 10 keyword-rich screenshots, each showing one feature

Just added a 3-day free trial to Noko's weekly subscription (and also decreased weekly subscription price yesterday). Of course I also updated my @RevenueCat paywall :D It feels weird that #shipaton has ended. I'm not stopping!


Good luck to everyone still stuck waiting for review!


Noko has been submitted to the @RevenueCat #shipaton!


It's #shipaton submission day! All summer led to this. I've spent so much time building & promoting studywithnoko.com and learned so many things along the way. Just yesterday I tried a new format on TikTok that literally 15x my engagements per post. Just need to finish…


TIL about ConcentricRectangle. I should have made a video about this when it come out. I didn't, so I totally forgot about the API. Thanks for the reminder @NilCoalescing

Make your views and controls fit perfectly within their containers using new SwiftUI APIs in iOS 26 such as the ConcentricRectangle shape and the containerShape() view modifier: nilcoalescing.com/blog/Concentri…



Is anyone else's X app on iOS 26 also loading terribly slow? It's been like this all beta season, and unfortunately it hasn't improved since GM.


My Noko plans beyond #shipaton: General - Noko is released, but is this just the start - Currently pushing a first bugfix & improvement submission (1.0.1) Content - Currently just a "gamified Pomodoro timer" - But: Will be a full study app centered around the study buddies -…
