Franklin Byaruhanga @byaruhaf.bsky.social · 05/06/2026A simple framework: Use Meta to discover what people actually want. Use ASA to capture buyers actively searching. Use ASO to compound organic growth over time. Different channels. Different jobs. 110
Franklin Byaruhanga @byaruhaf.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Too many indie developers worry about how many apps are published to the App Store each day. Wrong problem. The App Store is a distribution mechanism. It's no longer a discovery tool. Growth comes from marketing outside the App Store, not from being listed inside it. 021

Franklin Byaruhanga @byaruhaf.bsky.social · 24/03/2026It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process, is to guarantee disappointment. James Clear 000

Franklin Byaruhanga @byaruhaf.bsky.social · 29/04/2025Swift is a tool, not the job itself. Saying "I’m good with Swift, where can I work?" is like saying "I’m good with a hammer, where can I hammer?" The tool helps you do the job — but it isn't the job. #SwiftLang #iOSDev #SwiftUI #Swift 210
Reposted by Franklin ByaruhangaJoe Fabisevich @mergesort.me · 27/11/2024Hacked together a lil script that lets me write iOS code in Cursor. When I hit ⌘R it switches to Xcode, kicks off a new build (without xcodebuild's awful build times), and switches back to Cursor. Add this script, update your tasks.json, and pick a good key command. gist.github.com/mergesort/6e... 11686
