So App Store reviews are being quick again, aren't they? #IndieDev #AppStore

One big change with Padlok is monetization: It now comes with a 2 weeks trial. 2 weeks is the sweet spot to actually ensure notifications work for you, and that you'll make the most of the app without engaging too much. Monthly/lifetime options are still available! #IndieDev #AppStore

Padlok 2026.1 have released in the App Store! I'm super proud of that full Liquid Glass revamp. I think every screen got something that changed in this release, for the best. Padlok is available in the App Store apps.apple.com/app/apple-st... #IndieDev #AppStore #LiquidGlass

What better way to start Ternus era than getting an app update refusal on App Store Connect? Asking for a friend 🙈 #AppStoreConnect #IndieDev

I'm going to raise the price of all my apps on September 1st. One week from now. Inflation and company operating cost in France led to this. But in exchange, I'm working on heavy updates for all my apps. It's the only way I can keep going crafting with love.

I finally take the time required to update @padlok.app look, and adopt Liquid Glass. This refresh is far from done, but already feels more than a welcome improvement to how the app looks 🥰

How are we supposed to test app resizability for the iPhone fold when the path to test it is by using the non-available in EU iPhone mirroring app?

I wonder when open-source FoundationModels will land ; because I'd love to use this for my #Shipaton app server-side. I guess I could get started by self-hosting on a Mac, but that's a risk to depend on something that haven't landed yet before shipping #Swift #foundationmodels

5 days ago, I published my first update on SharePal since more than a year! Feels good to craft again! SharePal is now speaking Liquid Glass; and the custom keyboard was rebuilt around horizontal scrolling. The app isn't free; but buying it encourages my indie work! apps.apple.com/app/apple-stor..

I'm sure that @manuelkehl.bsky.social will be very happy to learn that the app I'm currently building is being designed for the Watch first. Help me to make sure the watch experience will be chief kiss from day one, which I find important in my case.

After so long, I wrote a new story! This one is very personal, and share my sight regarding the current transformation of our industry. blog.thomasdurand.fr/story/20...

Indie Diary #9 — What do we do now?

I’ve been looking forward to writing this new diary entry for a while, and it only took me about two years to come back to writing it. Why so long? Plenty of reasons. And they have been piling up one after another, delaying it even more. But…

Because Apple is open-sourcing FoundationModels soon enough, Swift on the server will benefit a great abstraction for dealing with LLMs. But what about the gaps? I've extracted what FoundationModels don't provide from swift-ai (that will die) ; and here come 3 distinct new libraries (a thread 🧵)

Might started writing again. It's been so long I haven't posted only my blog. It's about time.

swift-ai comes with a meaningful docc documentation, available on SPI. Start building your AI logic once, and use it with any model/provider, whether it's on device with Apple Intelligence, or on your server with Gemini,Anthropic or OpenAI. swiftpackageindex.com/Dean151/swif...
