Just tried new Kotlin/Native smallBinary option in Kotlin 2.2.20-Beta1.in project here (github.com/joreilly/Con...) and seeing over 20% reduction in size when building release version 🚀 btw remember to set following! kotlin.native.binary.smallBinary=true

My app page on the Google Play Store has been updated! 🥳 250 reviews and ranked in the 7th position for subscription keywords.

My biggest mistake was buying a yearly subscription to an AI model.

Build the entire website with Cursor - no own code written! resubs.app

ReSubs - Subscription Manager for iOS & Android

Take control of your recurring expenses with ReSubs. Track, manage, and optimize all your subscriptions in one place. Get smart insights, save money, and never miss a renewal.

resubs.app

The current ReSubs icon is too minimalistic and doesn't visualize the subscription well enough. Also, the color is too serious. I will change the icon to a wallet with a positive blue background color.

WOAH! 🎉🥳 This is the first time I have developed and released an iOS application. As an Android developer, I was never motivated to jump into the iOS ecosystem and build something. However, covering at least both mobile platforms is essential to grow a product. apps.apple.com/de/app/resub...

Google has announced the new Material 3 Expressive, designed to express the emotion of the user.

I quit my job at KAYAK, even with an excellent salary, just to become a full-time indie developer. 🥳 Although the market timing isn’t perfect, this gives me more time to explore new opportunities to grow my apps.

The new back handling in CMP 1.8 looks smooth!

Writing almost entirely without Swift code is possible with the new CMP 1.8 library and other improved libraries. Only three Swift files are in the project: AppDelegate, ComposeView, and iOSApp. The app ReSubs doesn't feel native in all aspects, but it gets very close.

With the new Android Studio Cloud we can develop on any device such as iPad 🎉

Introducing a paywall during onboarding might seem like an obvious choice for monetization, but my recent experiment suggests otherwise. I ran an XP with a paywall on around 100,000 users. • Total Revenue: -13% • Purchase Revenue: +4.3% • Ad Revenue: -21% • Onboarding Closed: -9.7%

After adding 25+ translations in the Compose Resources, the Res imports in Kotlin aren't recognizable in AS anymore :(
