Promo code generation on App Store Connect is still broken after 3 days. Is it only me? #Apple #appstore #macdev #iosdev

Can someone at Apple please reboot the promo code server?

I love stories like this from users of @inyourface.app. Really keeps me motivated. #adhd #indiedev

It's been years since we have the camera notch now on MacBooks and #Apple still doesn't address the issue of hidden menu icons. This is such a bad UX and causes a lot of unnecessary support requests for @inyourface.app 😠 #indiedev #rant #ux

I've been invited to a podcast to talk about my app business. That's a first 😬

The recent episode of Under the Radar is really hitting a nerve. @marcoarment.bsky.social and David Smith (mastodon.social/@_Davidsmith) did a great job putting in words what many of us probably feel. If you are a dev in the Apple ecosystem go listen to it: www.relay.fm/radar/312

How our values have diverged and our perceived relationship has changed with Apple, forcing our motivations for iOS development to evolve.

My new app Chimeful is ready for some beta testing! Chimes regularly remind you to take a break, refocus or anything else that needs reminding. It was especially designed for folks with #ADHD who tend to get lost in thought and. TestFlight open now! testflight.apple.com/join/ASkWeUmq #buildinpublic

Screenshot of the app Chimeful. It shows the window where users can manage their chimes.

A new Chimeful beta is available. I've also unlocked another 50 beta slots. Whats's new: - start all chimes that are created during initial onboarding - fix potential crash when choosing the "Notification" alert style - fix layout issues - fix some links to the website #indiedev #buildinpublic

Chimeful is now regularly reminding me to get up and take a break. It really is crazy how fast time flies when you are deep down in focus work. #buildinpublic #indiedev

A Chimeful reminder that says "Get moving!"

I'v been toying around with a new icon design for Tracktiq (a time tracking app for freelancers). Any feedback welcome! #indiedev #buildinpublic #macos

icon design that resembles a clock, with the hands at 3 o'clock

And even more progress on the Tracktiq dashboard view. Now with a nice description of the graph's data. #buildinpublic #indiedev

Brain: I got an app idea Me: Shut up, I don't have time for this Brain: But it's goooood Me: Ok let me check if this already exists … Me: omg, there are only a few similar apps and they all suck. Let's drop EVERYTHING and do this right now! I hate when this happens 🥴 #indiedev

I finally got around to working on a completely new version of my time tracking app Tracktiq (tracktiq.com) after letting it slumber for some years. Currently I'm working on a dashboard feature which visualizes logged hours with graphs. #buildinpublic

For the first time I did an App Store submission of @inyourface.app entirely with @helm-app.bsky.social , without even entering App Store Connect. Really smooth experience. Really great work @hiddevdploeg.bsky.social @polpielladev.bsky.social

So how do we all feel about updating to #macos #Sequioia now? I’m still hesitant. But given that a majority of @inyourface@indieapps.space users already updated I feel like I should too.
