I came to Istanbul for an office event today. It’s been nice to see my friends and the colleagues who inspire me the most. 🥹🧡

Updated my app's onboarding today with colorful backgrounds, animations, particles, and so on. Cursor helped a lot and I polished the details. Tell me what do you think? Still thinking about adding questions and/or help us grow (asking for a rating) screen. ✨ #buildinpublic #indiedevelopment #day3

Last week I also met with a dietitian and we ended up agreeing on a collaboration. She shared my app + her promo code on her IG stories today 🥰 I’m just so hyped about my little indie app right now. Not sure what to improve next, just happy 🌸 #day2

Yesterday didn’t go as planned — had some full-time job tasks and a Ukrainian user reached out about translations for my app (found her on Reddit, my favorite place for feedback 😅). Her feedbacks about the app and translations are so constructive and valuable.

I’ll try to pick one or two tasks today. Right now, I’m planning to add water tracking to my food diary and/or add some micro-interactions. #day1

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

It’s interesting how we can come from different cultures and backgrounds, yet share the same feelings. Today was day 2, and I already made some progress 🥹 I really hope I don’t give up this time. Thank you for your message, I felt seen and understood. 🌱

Sharing this here because: - If you feel the same, I see you. - Saying it out loud makes me accountable.

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

Just saw your mention I don’t know why I didn’t receive any notification. Sorry for the late reply, actually I didn’t do any specific strategy to gain visibility in Tanzania that’s why I said “I don’t know how it happened“ 😂 I wish I could help 🙏🏻

Oh… Actually my app’s UI changed as well. So the old one was not reflecting the actual UI. But I understand your point, thank you for sharing ✨

Irem Karaoglu Sansak @iremkaraoglu.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

Finally live ✨ I have a checklist and I’ll add more screenshot localizations day by day like for Australia app store, Japan app store, Korea etc. 🌎 Then update them for iPad #buildinpublic #indiedevelopment

My brother is 6 years older than me and when he started software engineering, i was 11 and i thought software engineering is putting animated flags to football matches on TV, adding sparkles and some animations on Sihirli Annem 😄

Happy Easter! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Some people really like Amalfi coast and Salerno, some people say it’s overrated and don’t recommend going there. I’m planning to visit but not sure. Do you enjoy your trip so far? ✨

Came to Istanbul to get my third name tag as a speaker 🤞🏻✨ I’ll talk about how we migrated the cart and checkout screens of an e-commerce app used by millions of people to SwiftUI. 🕊️

It’s also giving me ideas for my food-symptom tracking app—what people might actually need when they try going sugar-free. I love building apps that come from my own experiences! 🪄🦄 #buildinpublic #ios

Irem Karaoglu Sansak @iremkaraoglu.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

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. 🌸

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

Our app is built with UIKit, but over the past 2.5 years, we’ve been migrating the cart and checkout flows from WebView to native, using SwiftUI. (2/3)

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…
