Ok tiktok profile is live. Current stats - zero followers, one like (from myself). Already a social media star 🤩😅 #buildinpublic #indiedev #iosdev

Back to the day job today but my mind is thinking of appstore screenshots and widgets and onboarding sequences 😅 #iosdev #buildinpublic #indiedev
Back in wetherspoons working on my #iosapp and making an embarrassing attempt to start marketing on tiktok. Pint of leffe entirely medicinal 😅 #devlife #indiedev #buildinpublic
Joys of working from home - I soaked my t shirt in water, put it on and sat by the fan, happy as Larry. I suspect this would've been frowned upon back in the office days 😅 #devlife
I'm at the stage every indie Dev goes through where I'm like "ooooh maybe I could start a tiktok account" - the place where egos go to get humbled by zero views 😅 #indiedev #buildinpublic #iosdev
Discovered an enormous new wetherspoons to dabble with my app in 😅 today's priority is partly getting my head around the massive possibilities of posthog, and partly consuming the entire wetherspoons menu 🐽 #buildinpublic #indiedev
Just checked posthog and found these two events one after the other which is never a good sign 😅😅 #buildinpublic #indiedev
Today is Saturday which means working on my apps in wetherspoons woohoo! Lots to try and get my head around today, chief among them implementing widgets which makes my brain hurt🤯 #indiedev #iosdev #buildinpublic
A shameless plug for a second sorry... But if you or anyone you know is trying to quit smoking I have a COMPLETELY FREE quit smoking app for motivation, cravings support, & cheering you on. Please feel free to check it out 😊 tinyurl.com/49eru5t8 #quitsmoking #buildinpublic #stopsmoking #smokefree
Another nice app session in wetherspoons today. Really getting into the flow of this indie developer thing and just really enjoying the process regardless of outcome #buildinpublic #indiedev
Ouch, got my first one star rating but with no review so zero info. It stings BUT also feels like an important milestone which every developer goes through. Onwards and upwards and sorry whoever you are! 😭😅 #buildinpublic #indiedev
Trying a new pub today to do app work in. Sometimes I think my side hustle is actually "pub and cafe visitor" and the app work is just a pleasant distraction 🤣 #buildinpublic #devlife #indiedev
I really struggle with the self promotion thing especially on Reddit. Even in communities which technically allow it. I reckon maybe a lot of codey type personalities can relate to this! Or maybe it's just me 🫠 #buildinpublic #indiedev
Been v busy with all things apps this weekend. Feel I'm reaching a pivot point where I focus more on marketing than building, for now. As a people-pleasing hermit who just wants to code in a cocoon, I HATE marketing. But it's all good learning right?!😅 #buildinpublic #indiedev #indiehacker #iosdev
Ok I've got six apps in the app store now & pretty pleased with them for now. Today I'm finding myself more reflecting. I love the "race ahead with a new app stage" but should I keep building out my portfolio or focus on the ones I have? Any opinions welcome :) #buildinpublic #indiedev #indiehacker
Wetherspoons beer garden in the sun with a pint of leffe and a shawarma wrap on the way, getting to work on my app. Love dev life 👨💻😎 #devlife #iosdev #buildinpublic
I have a question for more seasoned Devs. How the heck do you get reviews?! Either good or bad?! My app is ranking and it has decent ish conversion rate. I prompt for a rating at a (hopefully) good moment. I asked friends but most of those ratings got removed. Any tips?! #iosdev #buildinpublic
Ok so spent a little money on Reddit ads but with absolutely zero idea what I'm doing haha. It increased impressions and led to a few downloads but I don't know if it was worth it when I'm starting to rank organically anyway. Learning&trying new things all the time! #iosdev #buildinpublic #indiedev
Another productive app session in wetherspoons🥳 why do they not let me do my real job in wetherspoons😭 #iosdev #buildinpublic #indiedev
Having a seriously productive app session today in wetherspoons accompanied by all the snacks. Love weekends 😄 #iosdev #buildinpublic #indiedev #devlife
Working on my app in the local beer garden, cappuccino and incredible views. This is the life!! 😎🔆 #buildinpublic #iosdev #indiedev
My little quit smoking app in the app store today! It's free. If you or someone you love is trying to quit smoking, this can help with motivation, cravings & more. Please feel free to write a review (good or bad!)or share ☺️ #buildinpublic #iosdev #indiedev #solodev apps.apple.com/gb/app/quit-...

Trying to get my head around keywords and localisation in particular. It all seems a lot more complicated than I realised. But it's still fun learning and that's the main thing! #buildinpublic #iosdev #indiedev #solodev
It's 3am and I'm wide awake sooo...I guess faffing around with my app it is then?!? #iosdev #buildinpublic #indiedev
Ok resubmitted and ready for round 2 of #appstore rejection and ego pummeling🥵. The number of rejections is directly correlated with the number of glasses of wine needed to recover 😅 #buildinpublic #iosdev #indiedev
My app went from "in review" to"rejected" in less than three minutes which I think is a personal record 🤣 some wine needed in an extradited fashion 😭 #buildinpublic #indiedev #iosdev
Today I'm trying to get to grips with animations in my app - not exactly necessary but lots of fun and I'm down the rabbit hole now! #buildinpublic #indiedev
