I am playing the world's tiniest violin for the people at Apple who were told that they had to build the entire proposal before they could get it approved. The number of times we developers have heard this same thing from App Review is too high to count. mastodon.social/@daringfireba...

Gee, that's a nice app you got there. It would be a shame if we had to take it down because it's not getting enough downloads. Have you tried App Store Search Ads?

One of my goals in life is to never attend a webinar.

My first Deep Dish Swift was such a great experience. I am again reminded how friendly and interesting iOS/Apple/Swift folks are. I had so many great conversations with new and old friends in such a short time. Thanks so much to @joshdholtz.com and Kari for organizing it!

My final #BuildInPublic post this week is an app that I think has the most potential. This is just an MVP, but with some polishing, I think it could be ready to release soon. I like to this of this app as "Claude Code meets Icon Composer".

My 3rd #BuildInPublic post this week might be a bit more boring than the others. It is a unique navigation app that I made for myself to scratch a very specific itch that I don't think most people have, so it isn't likely I will release it.

For my second #BuildInPublic post, I have an app that is actually done, but will probably never be released. To explain why, I will start by telling you about an app called WalkStar I released just over a year ago. It plays music, but only when you are walking. If you stop, the music stops.

For my first #BuildInPublic post, I have a fun one. What if you could have your own personal DJ that spins tracks for you based on how you were feeling at the moment, with minimal fuss? Just mention a mood, genre, vibe, whatever, and the music starts playing. Be sure to watch with the volume on.

Hi. I'm Greg, an indie developer from San Francisco. I've released over 20 iOS and Mac apps in the last 12+ years. Since I'm a naturally introverted Gen-Xer, I've never tried this #BuildInPublic thing. But marketing has always been my Achilles' heel, so what the heck.

The preview shown before you watch a show on Apple TV+ is the same F1 Movie ad every single time for the last month or so. It's gotten to the point where I sigh and say "Hi Sonny" every time I hit the play button.

Have any other developers received questions like this yet?

Next week we are heading to Cityscape. Date will be set soon. Subscribe to the calendar. #sfbeer www.yelp.com/biz/cityscap...

Cityscape - San Francisco, CA

Specialties: Cityscape Lounge is the tallest skybar in San Francisco and offers stunning 360° views of the City by the Bay. Photo-worthy cocktails and breathtaking landmark views make the lounge a bucket-list destination for those visiting the Bay Area. The bar's impressive beer, wine, and spirits menu also makes it a popular spot for locals to host business clients, enjoy a date night, or celebrate special occasions. Cityscape's ambiance changes by the hour, as the sunset transitions to dusk and dusk eases into nighttime. No two visits to Cityscape are the same, making it the perfect spot to experience again and again.

Someone please take the Sharpie away from grandpa.

I'm sure lawyers in Cupertino are currently gearing up for all of the class action lawsuits on behalf of iPhone 16 users for all of the Apple Intelligence ads for features that won't be out until after the iPhone 17 is available. I look forward to my $5 payout 7 years from now.
