3… 2… 1… Liftoff! 🚀 I'm very happy to announce version 2.0 of "License Plate Wiki" is now available on the App Store! 🎉 With an iPad app and many new features! #BuildInPublic

I just realized: iPhone Duo is the first "tablet" from Apple with haptics. I've quite often missed this on normal iPads (yes, I know there's a reason why iPads don't have this especially when being used as desktop devices but still…)

This morning, I asked Claude to make a classic newspaper app and it turned out pretty neat. It even added a shine-through effect from the backside of a page.

Damn. Not sure if it's just an illusion but typing with the split keyboard in angled screen mode uses a different haptic feedback (left/right) than typing in full-width keyboard mode (center balanced). Incredible.

Last night I made a small Mac app that lets me slide to type with a mouse/trackpad. Kinda fun, definitely unnecessary 😅 I wrote about it here 👇 yannicklung.com/blog/playgro...

Yessss! 🔜🚘▶️

Relaunched my website yesterday and for the first time ever it comes with a blog section! 🎉 yannicklung.com/thoughts/ten...

To whom it may concern: I can confirm a box of Altoids is MagSafe compatible.

I was surprised when I found out Now Playing on macOS doesn't show songs playing on a HomePod (as iOS does). So, I built my own tool. Convenient *and* beautiful. Progressive blurs, animated album covers and all the other good stuff 🥰

Apple, please make an official Lil Finder Guy collectible 🥲

My app just reached another huge milestone: 1,000 ratings at an incredible 4.9-star average! #BuildInPublic

Good morning #Config2026

Happy WWDC week, to those who celebrate!

What a coincidence. I’m about to submit a new update very soon which will add US plates 😎 #WWDC26

And another one! The latest version of my app is now available and comes with a shiny new app for Apple Watch ⌚️🎉 #BuildInPublic

Introducing my first macOS app: Docomments—A delightful way to add notes to your files 📝 Recently, I’ve felt the need to add short comments to files as a kind of change log. So I built my own app! If it fits your workflow, why not give it a try?👇 docomments.app #BuildInPublic

I am super excited to share that my very first iOS app, Velorino, is now live in the App Store ✨ Velorino is your cycling companion, showing you POIs like public water dispenser to fill up your bottles, snack stations to grab a snack, or self-service bike stations. apple.co/4kRPB7N

“The size of the watchOS variant is 76MB, which exceeds the maximum allowable size of 75MB after app thinning.” 🫠 🫠 🫠

Today’s task was to divide my Mac screen into 8 pizza slices to enable automatic snapping 🍕🧲 #BuildInPublic

What a crazy week. In addition to new updates for my license plate app, I built three new Mac apps. Each of them serves a different purpose and was created to simplify my workflow. I am most proud of a (not-so-small) GeoJSON viewer app. #BuildInPublic

Excited to announce that Aeronaut is now live in the Mac App Store! 🎉 After two years of tinkering, polishing, and obsessing over the little things, it’s finally here! If you’re looking for a Bluesky app designed and built for macOS, take a look… apps.apple.com/us/app/aeronau…

Oh my! My app has quietly surpassed 500 ratings globally, and it's still rocking at 4.9! 🤩🥳 I couldn't be happier! #IndieDev

I'm working on the next version of my app and finally decided to reduce its size (was 300 MB). After days and nights of compressing and optimising images, plus a small breakdown yesterday when it reached 1 GB 🫠, I'm happy with the result: only 80 MB! 🥳🥳🥳 #BuildInPublic

Friendly reminder to export your app assets as HEIC instead of PNGs! For Art of Flora, this lead to an almost a 85% reduction of size 😱 #buildinpublic

There's reason to celebrate! One year ago today, Kennzeichen Wiki was released in the App Store! 🎈🎂 A lot has happened in the meantime, and even an Android app is in the starting blocks 😎 At this point, I'd just like to say a big thank you to all of you! Here's to many more years! 🫶 #BuildInPublic

I'm not sure if a macOS app can be more niche than this: I wanted to access the macOS share sheet in @vivaldi.com faster, or by clicking on a button, rather than using File > Share. So, I built an app for it. You can join the TestFlight, if that is your thing. www.philipptemmel.com/writing...

Rate my setup for tonight's coding session: A cold beer, lofi sounds, cozy light… could be worse 🥰 #BuildInPublic

Getting closer and closer to full feature parity! 😎 Happy weekend y’all! #buildinpublic

Looks like I'm also becoming an Android dev soon… 😅

In iPadOS 26, the new menu bar automatically adds an action that links to your app’s system settings. However, pressing [⌘,] should usually open your in-app settings. Using CommandGroup (replacing: .appSettings) takes care of that. #SwiftUI

Today, for the first time in seven years, I ran a 20k race, and boy, does it feel good!

"License Plate Wiki & Collect" by @yanlu.chat License Plate Wiki helps you identify and track European license plates with a searchable database and interactive map. indieappcatalog.com/app/905

Good news! Version 3.0 was approved overnight, so it's ready for the iOS 26 launch on Monday! 🚀🎉 #iOS26

Here we go!! 🤞 #BuildInPublic

Quick question: how can I create Shortcut groups like these? What are those called? #SwiftUI

I'm this close to releasing the next big update with new features, content and Liquid Glass just in time for the release of iOS 26. So damn close! 🤏

Life of an #IndieDev in a nutshell…

Nice Friday surprise: My app got featured on appgefahren again! 🤩 www.appgefahren.de/kennzeichen-...

Damn, Liechtenstein! 🇱🇮 The Specular highlight looks good on you! 🪩✨ #iOS26

A little while ago, I had the pleasure of creating the new app icon for Ocean 🌊 I’m thrilled to finally see it out in the wild! Congratulations to the team! 🎉
