They say ābuild it and they will come.ā
I built it.
They didnāt come.
So now Iām learning ways to make them come, and everything in between.
Indie dev life is just⦠startup school in disguise.
Just updated my App Store screenshots for Paraphrase Tool, hoping they boost conversions.
But hereās the thing⦠what I think looks good might not be what you notice first.
Mind taking a peek? š

Itās been 2 weeks since launch.
ā¢Low user count
ā¢Still struggling to get traction in the US
ā¢Conversion rate holding strong at 15%+
Apple didnāt gave me the boost, but Iām not giving up either.
Indie grind continues.

App Store Search behaviour going weird as I readā¦
Now experiencing it myself:
ā¢My app shows up in top search suggestions across multiple localizations
ā¢But when I click on the exact search term⦠Iām nowhere in the actual results
Any idea how to fix?
Not every app will go viral. Not every launch will be a hit.
But every project teaches you something that makes the next one better.
Keep building. Keep learning.
Still learning, still building, still figuring it out.
But at least Iām moving forward, not stuck wishing I had started.

No matter what anyone says, this guy is fu**in genius.
He is better than any AI.
When people are struggling to find a job, he is switching jobs like clothes.
Absolute Legend.

Never write an email or message saying āno stipend.ā
Donāt undervalue your skills. Companies value skilled people, and while some may like free labour, you shouldnāt position yourself that way.
3 magical words that changed my life:
āKeep showing up.ā
Not āI love you.ā
Not āYouāre the best.ā
But this.
Because on the days when no one believed in me, this is all I had

Day 20 of building my 10k MRR iOS app:
⢠Refined the onboarding (again), user flow matters.
⢠Backend still needs some polishing.
⢠App is getting closer to launch, almost there.
