more downloads doesn’t always mean more money 💰 asked Siri to dig into an Appstead workspace. it flagged a downloads-vs-proceeds mismatch. that’s the kind of thing you want to catch without digging through Connect. conversational Siri in Appstead 1.0.2 • coming soon. #indiedev #buildinpublic #ios

one of my favorite things in appstead is the "What Changed” feature. open the app and immediately see what happened across your portfolio since you last checked. i finally built the insights engine i’ve wanted for years because apple wouldn’t. #indiedev #iosdev #buildinpublic #appstoreconnect

I ended up with multiple versions of the same "More From Us" screen across my apps. That screen matters: your users already trust you. Showing what else you make turns every install into a storefront for your catalog. #iosdev #swiftlang #spm #indiedev

Three smartphone screens displaying app analytics. The left screen shows download statistics and revenue breakdown with a bar graph and text boxes. The middle screen features a world map highlighting download percentages by country. The right screen displays notifications about app store earnings and daily summaries. Text above the screens reads "Track your app business at a glance" and "See where your growth comes from," with a call to action at the bottom saying "Get Key Updates, Right on time."

You know your git history is cooked when you grab a pen and paper. fix/issue-44, testflight branches, rebasing onto codex, landing on main after QA. I had to sketch this out before touching anything. #indiedev

A blackboard with multi-colored chalk drawings and text. The text includes "fix/issue-14 merges onto TF-022/PR," "fix/issue-14," "merges," "testflight/feedback-2," "rebase onto," "codex 17f-0044-0025," and "final QA." There is a green box labeled "final QA" with arrows pointing to and from it. The text "merges back on" is written in red at the bottom. The drawing appears to represent a software development workflow or process.

The closer Appstead gets to launch, the less it feels like building. Most of my days now are edge cases, polish, and making sure nothing breaks when real data hits. Honestly kind of satisfying though. This is where the app earns its trust. appstead.app #indiedev

Living with diabetes is built on small, consistent habits. That's why I created the 30-Day Glucose Check-In challenge in Glu Sight. The challenge begins August 1. #diabetes #BloodSugar #IndieDev

Screenshot of a mobile app store page featuring a health app called "Blood Sugar Tracker: Glu Sight" for managing diabetes, glucose, and insulin. The app icon is a colorful circular design. The page displays the app's category as Medical and Health & Fitness, with a rating of 4.5 stars from 10 reviews. Below the rating, it shows the date "AUG 1." A prominent section highlights a "30-Day Glucose Check-In" challenge to build a glucose record over 30 days. The screen also shows app preview images, including a summary of today's glucose levels and trends. A cloud download icon is visible at the top right, indicating the option to download the app. The bottom navigation bar includes icons for Today, Games, Apps, Arcade, and Search.

I never get tired of seeing where downloads come from. It's one of the easiest ways to spot where better localization could have the biggest impact. #appstoreconnect #indiedev #iosdev #buildinpublic

Smartphone with a black screen displaying a world map with green dots and text. The text reads "Downloads by country" and "27.4K downloads - Jun 17 – Jul 16." Below the map, it lists "US 35.1%," "IN 17.6%," and "GB 9.7%" with country flags. The background features a gold mountain design. At the bottom, there are app icons including a phone, a colorful circle, and a list. The time "9:41" is displayed at the top right.

I've realized every app I've built started because I genuinely wanted the problem solved. None of them started with "What's the biggest market?" Maybe it's not the fastest path, but every feature comes from real experience. #BuildInPublic #IndieDev

I took a much needed reset yesterday. Full time off. Back into it today. Talking about which, CreatorCaps is having a huge UI/UX overhaul as well as key feature improvements on captions editing for silent videos. And I couldn’t be more excited for what’s next. #Captioning #IndieDev #iOS #App

Below the icon, the text "CREATOR" is in white, and "CAPS" is in white on a red background. The phone has a notch at the top with icons indicating time, Wi-Fi, and battery status. The phone is set against a textured blue surface.

One of my goals with Appstead is to ask for the least privilege possible. Staying informed about your portfolio shouldn't require elevated App Store Connect permissions. #AppStore #IndieDev #BuildInPublic #AppStoreConnect

Appstead workspace switcher. This shows that the app supports multiple workspaces and App Store Connect keys for people managing multiple portfolios.
