Hey folks 👋
If you’re getting good trial sign-ups but struggling to convert them into paying users… where do you think the problem usually lies? 🤔
Onboarding? Value prop? Paywall?
Curious to hear your insights from the trenches.

Hey indie devs,
I promoted my app on AppAdvice and then got this email from Apple about possible DPLA violations 😬
Has anyone faced something like this, especially when offering lifetime access?
Do you think my dev account is at risk?
#IndieDev#iOSDev#AppStore#ASO
Guys, need your input.
Do you think gamification works for every type of app?
I’ve been researching how it boosts engagement, drives daily returns, and revenue growth.
Have you tried adding gamification to your app?"
#Gamification#AppEngagement#MobileApps#IndieDev
Hey indie devs, have you tried AppAdvice to boost downloads?
I’ve researched, and it seems to help many apps.
What are your thoughts?
My primary goal is to obtain ratings & reviews to aid in ASO ranking.
#IndieDev#iOSDev#AppStore#ASO#AppMarketing#IndieApp#AppGrowth
As an indie developer, one of the hardest things is getting reviews & ratings.
They’re so important for growth.
What’s the best way you’ve found to get ratings and reviews for your app without annoying users?

Day 44 of building
Today was all about bug fixes and code refactoring.
Didn’t add new features, but cleaning up the code is part of the process—and part of learning.

Day 43 of building
Spent the day working with PDFKit — adding features to let users select and edit text directly in PDFs.
I am also exploring additional editing options to make the experience smoother.

As a developer, I use AI a lot.
But sometimes I wonder — if I can’t code without it, am I really a developer? 🤔
What do you think? Can heavy reliance on AI tools hurt our skills?
#iOSDev#buildinpublic#AI#DevLife
To be honest, some days it’s really hard to stay consistent.
Procrastination creeps in, and focus disappears.
How do you stay focused and avoid distractions while coding?

Day 42 of building
Working on a custom camera view using AVFoundation + Vision today.
Also started integrating OCR to scan text from documents.
A bit challenging, but really fun to build!

Day 41 of building
Research ✅
Planning ✅
Today, I finally started coding the next update for my app.
Feels good to jump back into development again!
#buildinpublic#iOSDev#SwiftLang#AppStore
Day 39 of Building
Started building a custom camera view using AVFoundation.
Since VisionKit doesn’t allow customisation, I’m combining AVFoundation + Vision to get full control.
#buildinpublic#iOSDev#SwiftUI#AVFoundation#Vision
Day 38 of building
Today I explored PDFKit – from editing PDFs to extracting text.
Watched some WWDC sessions to dive deeper.
It’s a bit tricky, but powerful.
Excited to see how I can use it in my app’s next update.
#buildinpublic#iOSDev#PDFKit#SwiftUI
Day 37 of building
My app just hit a 16.7% conversion rate.
That’s a good start
Now focusing on the next update:
– Better UX
– More features
#buildinpublic#iOSDev#SwiftUI
Day 36 of building
Today is all about deep diving into PDFKit and AVFoundation.
I'm working to upgrade my Photo to PDF app — not just with better features, but smoother UX too.
#iOSDev#buildinpublic#SwiftUI#PDFKit#AVFoundation
Day 34 of building my iOS app
My app just got APPROVED by Apple! 🚀
It’s now live on the App Store 🥳
Now it’s time to wait for user traction, collect feedback, and start planning the next big update.
The real journey begins now.
