I’m currently building a new app called diu, which is a to-do list that helps you understand what motivates you to do things, not just track them. If that sounds interesting, join the waiting list over at getdiu.com TestFlight coming pretty soon! #iosdev #indiedev #buildinpublic

Zeitgeist 2.0 is out now, and I think it's the best journaling app around. Let me show you why. 🧵

One more thing. @saschagordner.de and I are working on something truly special. We'll challenge assumptions, rethink what's possible and create something we believe could change everything. We can't wait to show you. And we think you're going to love it. 🤖

My most recent App Store submissions have all been reviewed the same day. Am I just lucky or did it get better in general? #iosdev

Had an idea for a new app in the gym yesterday and after doing some research it might be better not to build it, but I just can't resist to at least play around with the idea. :D

Skoro 3.20 is now updated for iOS 27 🥳 Your digital scoreboard for game nights with your family and friends. Now on the App Store: ➡️ apps.apple.com/app/id160831... #scoreboard #gamenight #iOS27

Stumbled across this app icon while doing keyword research, and I'm still wondering how this app made it through App Review. Did the reviewer ever see Reminders/Calendar on their iOS 26 homescreen?

To sloptober or not to sloptober, that is the question. #ai #llms https://iamkonstantin.eu/blog/no-sloptober/

Happy Release Day. Daft Music 3.0 is out with AI Slop detection, 3D Cover Artworks, AirPlay, Equalizer, Instrumental Isolation and many more. Checkout the Trailer. #daftmusic #buildinpublic #indiedev #applemusic #macos #ios #macosdev #iosdev

Just set up Coolify on a Hetzner Cloud VPS this morning and deployed a Forgejo instance with it and... it feels amazing! Now I'd really like to have some runners for CI, which either means more $$$ or more over-engineering or both. :D

TIL about `UIApplication.significantTimeChangeNotification`, a notification informing you about significant changes in time, e.g. on date change. Super handy for when your view needs to react to date changes! #iosdev

It's hilarious that my latest app update got reviewed within 8 hours, while I'm still waiting for a product page test to be reviewed (1d 12h). #iosdev

Beta tests of Trombalsky, Mastodon+Bluesky client for iOS and macOS are open (currently limited to 100 users). https://testflight.apple.com/join/fru1uXcu

📌 New in my goal-tracking app Wins! Pin your most important goals to the top of your list. Pinned goals stay visible no matter which date you select. Check out Wins on the App Store: 👉 apps.apple.com/app/id166831... #goals #wins #buildinpublic

I've been working through some thoughts on Dario Amodei's essays about the risks and rewards of AI, on and off, for months now. This is at least a start. (I have added a few warnings in the intro, as there is some dark and possibly disturbing topics inside) www.massicotte.org/blog/beachfr...

I wish iOS had this API: developer.android.com/develop/ui/v...

New macOS app 🚀 Been quietly building a second app next to @getskydeck.app 👀 @getremark.app - comment on your Markdown like you'd review code, and your AI agent reads each note, fixes it, and marks it done. Download now: apple.co/3R2z5XW Website: getremark.app #BuildInPublic #macOS #IndieDev

For almost 2 years we kept postponing a pricing update, because infrastructure, performance and becoming a fully European service came first Now we're finally ready AND we took the opportunity to fix one of the biggest complaints: the gap between our smaller plans telemetrydeck.com/blog/pricing...

Found this neat CLI tool to easily export SF Symbols as simple vector graphics: github.com/yapstudios/s... #iosdev

Xcode 27's new launcher is quite the downgrade

Sad that we didn't get an action button for the tab bar. #wwdc

Name something more annoying

I'm starting to feel a bit of “Liquid Glass fatigue". Everything just looks the same. I mean it's been this way before when devs stick to standard controls (which is a good thing!). I just feel like Liquid Glass emphasizes that because it's so... intense?

Just stumbled across a feature in Apple Notes that makes the current selection a link when you paste a link via the clipboard. Neat!

Yayyy, someone just purchased the first annual subscription for diu! 🥳 🎉 (Surely this must be someone who knows me. 😝)

We’re bringing Xogot, our styled version of Godot, to macOS. Xogot for Mac brings a native Mac experience, Xcode-inspired project navigation, and easier deployment to Mac, iPhone, iPad, and the iOS Simulator without the usual friction. The beta is open today: blog.xogot.com/xogot-on-mac/

What's the best way to create lifetime offer codes for an app that only offers subscriptions? Seems like you need a "hidden" lifetime IAP, but I got a bad gut feeling regarding the review. #iosdev

Always check who made and delivered the stuff you're installing. Even if it's just an app for your phone or from a marketplace or some repo. Think of apps as people you invite into your home. notepad-plus-plus.org/news/npp-tra...

And just like that, my new app diu is now available on the App Store 🥳 Get it here: apps.apple.com/app/id675885... #buildinpublic #indiedev #iosdev

Tomorrow my new little app will finally go live. Really excited to see how it's perceived by the public. It's been the first app I published for pre-order, so it should already be live once I wake up. 🥰 #indiedev

I'm about to say something I haven't said in 8 years: I'm looking for a full-time job. I'm looking for the right role with the right people and the right mission, all of which I've laid out in this blog post. I'm mostly interested in something new, so if this sounds like your team I'd love to talk.

yum!

I like what meetup is doing here. Never really thought about that, but seems like such an easy UX win. Most people probably know that the logo leads back to home anyway, but still.

2.5 days, 8% of target, nearly 400 of you contributed 🫶🫶

I think I'm on @eurosky.social now. 😁

Feels like Bluesky is slowly becoming the new Moltbook 😪

My biggest wish for WWDC: "Dear developers, we hear you. That's why we're quadrupling the workforce of our App Store review team starting today!” #iosdev
