1 month left for the new year, and I don’t have to wait to start my resolutions. I’ll start today. I’ll update what I’m doing with my apps and work on improving my iOS development knowledge. My to-do lists are usually too long, and it’s hard to complete everything in a single day. #day1

This time I know how it happened :) Food Sense is at #179 in Health & Fitness category in Mauritius 🇲🇺 Fingers crossed to many more 🤍 #buildinpublic #indiedevelopment #sideproject

I don’t know how it happened again but my app Food Sense is at #181 in Health & Fitness category in Malta! 🇲🇹♥️ Fingers crossed to many more! 🤞🏻 #buildinpublic #indiedevelopment

There are core gaps in my iOS knowledge that I’ve been avoiding for a long time. I kept improving the areas that I was already comfortable with, instead of strengthening the fundamentals I actually needed. Now, I’m choosing to go back, learn properly, and build a stronger foundation. 🪾🌳🫂 #ios

weekend commits don’t define you. balance does. take a nap, not a PR.

One day, I’ll make my iOS tech lead proud. 🫵🏻

Morning! Just published a new blog post. iremkaraoglu.com/where-have-i...

Where have I been since the last blog post

Hi, it’s been a while since I last posted a blog. It feels strange because I used to post often, and they were generally about technical topics. This time, I'm sharing with you as if speaking to a friend. So, where have I been since our last conversa...

Good morning from day 4 without refined sugar! I’ve always had a sweet tooth, so I wanted to take a break and see how it affects me. Even cutting back a little feels like a win. 🌸

I have two tickets for the Devnot Mobile Development Conference with 50% discount codes. The codes are valid until tomorrow evening. Let me know if you're interested! mobile.devnot.com

In April, I’ll be speaking at a mobile development conference about this SwiftUI-native transition for our cart and checkout screens. Is there anything specific you’d like to hear about? What would you like to learn from this talk? Let me know—I’d love to incorporate it into my talk! 💙 (3/3) #ios

I have decided not to play in Istanbul this October. I was so looking forward to playing for you, but unfortunately, this is not the right time. I dream of playing for you as soon as possible. I stand by you. In Peace and Love ❤️ Ane

Turquie : le premier parti d'opposition convoque son grand rassemblement

I’d love to introduce myself and the company I work for, especially for those outside of Turkey. My name is İrem, and I’m an iOS developer at Hepsiburada which is one of Turkey’s largest e-commerce companies. (1/3)

Don’t know what to write, what to share, what to talk about. I don’t want to change the subject here in Turkiye. There’s this emptiness inside me that I can’t quite explain…

One hour to the airport, and as usual, I have not packed. Thanks to @iremkaraoglu.bsky.social and Packify to the rescue!

I solved my issue about packing luggages. It is such a nice feeling to use the app that I build. I love this job 🎀 It is called Packify, if you’d like to try. #packify #ios #indiedevelopment #swiftui

Happy March 8th International Working Women’s Day to all hardworking women! 💪✨ As a software developer, I also want to celebrate the efforts of all women in tech who create, code, develop, and teach! 💻🚀 #InternationalWomensDay #8March #WomenInTech

friendly reminder: show your support to your indie developer friends or the apps you love ✨ I never rated the apps I used before, but after becoming an indie dev, I realized how important it is! 😌

enjoyed the silence of this platform 🤝 bored of the silence of this platform

After 4 years of instagram detox, i’m back but with a new account. I have different motivations than before. Don’t want to follow everyone I know, just want to get in touch with certain people. I’m moving to a different city in a few months, i think it will be nice to keep each other posted. 🤞🏻✨🌊

matcha tea + pomodoro technique + airpods My favorite trio to focus on smth. 🎧🍵⏳

Today I reached out few people on Instagram about Food Sense - Meal Journal. I hope I can make good connections and collaborations. 🍵 #buildinpublic

Today I asked ChatGPT to act like an iOS tech lead and ask me questions to assess my iOS skill level. It was very helpful and motivating for me. I was able to see my gaps more clearly. It has been a while since I had an interview, so I plan to do this from time to time. 🪷 #ios

My cooking class ran long today, lasted almost 5 hours. Then I went to a yoga workshop, which ended up being 2.5 hours. No indie development today, just a busy and active day. Goodnight everyone! 😴🧘🏻‍♀️🪷
