Apple released a new Open API spec for the App Store Connect API (4.4), but haven't updated the docs and release notes 😬 This makes my automatic updater for Bagbutik fail, as it gets a 404 for the documentation. I will have to wait... 😅 #WWDC #WWDC26

Error log of the updater showing that the data in the downloaded JSON files (of the documentation site) is not valid JSON (as it is a 404 HTML site)

More and more people are using Miniotaur, and one request keeps coming up: a joystick for navigating mazes 🕹️ We get it — your finger can end up covering the path ahead 😅 So I’m giving it a shot 😊 I’ve never built something like this before 💙 #buildinpublic #indiedev #iosdev

It’s my birthday week 🇩🇰🎉 Celebrate with me! For the next week, all in-app purchases and subscriptions in @AppDabApp are around 38% off. No reason to talk about the age - it is just a number... 😉 #iOSDev #macOSDev #IndieDev

A lot has happened the last month... I have been sick and we lost our unborn child 😔 But I finally got the "dance while waiting" animation in @appdab.app shipped. This animation has given me some joy, and I hope it will to others as well.

Morten Bjerg Gregersen @mortengregersen.dk · 17/04/2026

My animated dancing stick figure in SwiftUI is finally coming together! 🕺 Custom animations are not what I do most 😅 What do you think?

Morten Bjerg Gregersen @mortengregersen.dk · 16/04/2026

Yay! That will be much easier to style in the app, than this year's theme 😅

Morten Bjerg Gregersen @mortengregersen.dk · 12/04/2026

Sadly, I won’t be at @deepdishswift.com this year 😔 But I did update the official unofficial app with the new schedule and new style 🤩🩵 Have fun in Chicago 🍕 You can find the app in the App Store: apps.apple.com/app/id644835...

When trying to access Apple's "Request a expedited review" site, I immediately gets redirected to a "We'll be back soon" page. It worked yesterday. Maybe they have gotten to many requests the last couple of weeks 😅

A 189,300% week over week jump in users is not something you expect to see in your inbox 🤩 I had to read that @telemetrydeck.com email a couple of times before it really sank in 😅 #IndieDev #iOSDev #ParentDev

My son and I just realized, that many people has started downloading our maze app, Miniotaur, the last 2 days 😅 Since launch, not many people had downloaded it, but maybe getting featured in "New games we love" in the App Store does something 🥰 #IndieDev #iOSDev #GameDev

Back from a week vacation with my wife and kids 🥰 Submitting new versions of @AppDab.app and Score Wonders for App Review, and continuing "work" on my FaceTime photo-sharing app "Sammen" - almost ready fo TestFlight 🚀 DM me if you want to help me test it out.

Used the app since Dec 2023. Finally bought Premium Lifetime in Feb 2026. That’s not an impulse buy - that’s a considered relationship. 😄

Morten Bjerg Gregersen @mortengregersen.dk · 06/02/2026

Next version of @appdab.app will get a "What's New" screen on updates 🎉 This is something I think has been missing, as it has been hard telling users through other channels, all of the changes - posts and App Store "What's new" is not long enough. #buildinpublic #iosdev #indiedev

Prototype working! 🎉 My new vibe-coded app uses SharePlay and CloudKit to let a person in a FaceTime call show photos to the other participants 🏞️ Next thing to work on: speed of photo downloading 🚀 (Left Morten is showing photos to Right Morten) #buildinpublic #iosdev #indiedev

While Codex has been working on features, I have been trying to design an icon 😅 Hand drawn and glassified with Icon composer.

Light mode icon (three dots above an image icon above a single dot)

Dark mode icon (three dots above an image icon above a single dot)

Non-tintet icon (three dots above an image icon above a single dot)

I am trying to build a vibe-coded app with Codex 😬 It’s something I’ve wanted to build for a long time, but never really had the time to figure out whether it was even possible. It's an iOS app with a focus on family and friends 🥰 #buildinpublic #indiedev #iosdev

Watch this update ship - literally 🚢⌚️🥸

From loss to launch: Three years of surviving and building as an indie dev | Atterdag Apps

Three years ago I quit my job to go indie. This is the story of what happened — the highs, the failures, the unexpected moments, the financial realities, and the apps that shaped my life.

161

Morten Bjerg Gregersen @mortengregersen.dk · 22/11/2025

But the financial reality? From 2022–2025, all my apps combined earned $2,865 💸 The only reason the indie journey was possible is because of pension payments and savings after my wife passed away. Without that runway, indie life wouldn’t have been an option.

120

Morten Bjerg Gregersen @mortengregersen.dk · 22/11/2025

Score Wonders had a huge update in 2025 — adding every expansion and a $5.99 subscription. For the first time, I saw a real revenue spike 📈 I also crossed 100 active subscribers across all apps. A tiny milestone, but huge emotionally.

110

Morten Bjerg Gregersen @mortengregersen.dk · 22/11/2025

2024–2025 brought work I’m really proud of: 🤖 AppDab Intelligence 🏛️ Score Wonders with expansions 🍕 Deep Dish Unofficial on iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS & visionOS And building Miniotaur with my son was incredibly meaningful ❤️

110

Morten Bjerg Gregersen @mortengregersen.dk · 22/11/2025

Then competition arrived 😬 Someone started building an AppDab competitor 🚢 It hit me harder than expected — sleepless nights, anxiety, and some sessions with a psychologist. But eventually the fear turned into motivation 💪 I shipped some of my best updates.

110

Morten Bjerg Gregersen @mortengregersen.dk · 22/11/2025

Surprisingly, freelance work showed up out of nowhere 💼 A VoIP app in Denmark 🇩🇰, a travel app in Germany 🇩🇪. All because I shared my work publicly. It helped bridge the financial gap and reminded me visibility matters.

Morten Bjerg Gregersen @mortengregersen.dk · 22/11/2025

Then I tried chasing the iOS 17 launch with Akryla 🎨 I pushed myself too hard and completely burned out 😵‍💫 Almost nobody downloaded it. It taught me a big lesson: chasing Apple’s spotlight is not a healthy strategy for me.

110

Morten Bjerg Gregersen @mortengregersen.dk · 22/11/2025

Community became my fuel. @DeepDishSwift 🍕, #WWDC23 🍏 — meeting people I’d only known online was transformative. These events gave me support, energy, and the feeling of belonging that I didn’t know I needed.

130

Morten Bjerg Gregersen @mortengregersen.dk · 22/11/2025

So I coped the way many indies do: I built more apps. 🏛️ Score Wonders 💬 Talkasy 🍕 Deep Dish Lie 🌸 HeyAIku It became a burst of momentum — frustration turning into creativity.

110

Morten Bjerg Gregersen @mortengregersen.dk · 22/11/2025

I had been building @AppDabApp, a fast native App Store Connect client 💻 Launch day was Nov 2022… the same moment Twitter collapsed. Engagement disappeared overnight. The launch fell flat — a huge emotional blow.

Morten Bjerg Gregersen @mortengregersen.dk · 22/11/2025

Five years ago I lost my wife to cancer ❤️‍🩹 I kept working full-time’ish while raising two kids alone and building apps at night. It became unsustainable. In 2022 I finally went indie — for my kids 👨‍👧‍👦 and to rebuild a life that made sense.

Morten Bjerg Gregersen @mortengregersen.dk · 22/11/2025

🧵 Three years ago I quit my job to go indie. Here’s what really happened — the highs, lows, burnout, community, competition, money, creativity, and why I’d still choose it again. ❤️👇

Morten Bjerg Gregersen @mortengregersen.dk · 05/11/2025

This is something I’ve wanted to do since launch — almost 3 years ago! 🎉 It was an interesting challenge, spelunking and manipulating the #AppStoreConnect DOM 🤓 Everything is open-sourced as part of AppStoreConnectKit Swift package 🚀 github.com/MortenGreger... #indiedev #iOSDev

I love how easy it is (for a non-designer like me) to create something like this with Icon Composer 🤩

FYI you can’t drive to #WWDC from Florida, 3 persons on a motorbike, with luggage and backpacks… 😅 I know, because @chriswu.com, @strasser.bsky.social and I tried tonight in my dreams 😴

Morten Bjerg Gregersen @mortengregersen.dk · 16/10/2025

Fun update! 🚀 It looks small to the user, but is the first version of @appdab.app using my new AppStoreConnectKit package 📦 which handles API keys in Keychain 🔐, creates Certificate Signing Requests 🪪 and has some error parsing and entity formatting 🤩 github.com/MortenGreger...

Autumn break disco night in “grandpa’s water park” 🌊 (He works at the holiday resort ❤️) Kids splashing, lights flashing, music pumping – and my Apple Watch warns me it’s too loud 🎧😅
