Stumbled across this app icon while doing keyword research, and I'm still wondering how this app made it through App Review. Did the reviewer ever see Reminders/Calendar on their iOS 26 homescreen?

An app icon which is basically a mashup of iOS 26 reminders and calendar icon: left side checkmarks, right side literally the face of the calendar app icon

Just set up Coolify on a Hetzner Cloud VPS this morning and deployed a Forgejo instance with it and... it feels amazing! Now I'd really like to have some runners for CI, which either means more $$$ or more over-engineering or both. :D

TIL about `UIApplication.significantTimeChangeNotification`, a notification informing you about significant changes in time, e.g. on date change. Super handy for when your view needs to react to date changes! #iosdev

It's hilarious that my latest app update got reviewed within 8 hours, while I'm still waiting for a product page test to be reviewed (1d 12h). #iosdev

I'm starting to feel a bit of “Liquid Glass fatigue". Everything just looks the same. I mean it's been this way before when devs stick to standard controls (which is a good thing!). I just feel like Liquid Glass emphasizes that because it's so... intense?

Launched my latest app three weeks ago, got 15 unique downloads since then. 🥶 Pretty grounding to be honest, but I know it doesn't come over night. Current focus: ASO and influencer outreach. I’m offering creators a promo code and ask them for feedback, anything else would be a bonus.

What's the best way to create lifetime offer codes for an app that only offers subscriptions? Seems like you need a "hidden" lifetime IAP, but I got a bad gut feeling regarding the review. #iosdev

Always check who made and delivered the stuff you're installing. Even if it's just an app for your phone or from a marketplace or some repo. Think of apps as people you invite into your home. notepad-plus-plus.org/news/npp-tra...

I'm about to say something I haven't said in 8 years: I'm looking for a full-time job. I'm looking for the right role with the right people and the right mission, all of which I've laid out in this blog post. I'm mostly interested in something new, so if this sounds like your team I'd love to talk.

Now that diu will launch in less than a week, I think it's a good time to speak about why I've built yet another to-do list. I've got diagnosed with ADHD late in my life. We mainly started investigating since I had growing issues with motivation.

I like what meetup is doing here. Never really thought about that, but seems like such an easy UX win. Most people probably know that the logo leads back to home anyway, but still.

I initially thought of May 12 as a release date, but my gut says I should do it earlier. I’ve scratched the dictation feature anyway for the first version, since this needs careful testing and can totally be added later. Feels like shipping sooner matters more right now. So May 1 it is.

Submitted the first version of diu for review today, couple hours later instant rejection. They ask for a screen recording of the app, a description of the apps purpose, and a whole lot other stuff which is already declared in ASC. Is this a default for all new apps? I'm confused. #iosdev

Getting the metadata ready for App Store a bit earlier than planned. I want to set up a pre-order for the app, which requires submitting a build and getting it approved. So here we go. #indiedev

Found the reason for that. Meanwhile there are 7 puzzle games called Patches in the App Store. One is even game of the year, crazy that it achieved that after only 4 days in the store. :D

Apparently some AI app generator frequently suggests a puzzle game named Patches 😃 Wanted to check my apps (Patches) App Store page when I saw that several new apps with the same name spawned during the past week or so.

I didn't want to use a checkmark for the app icon in the beginning since it's quite overused, but here we are. It's a todo list after all. The spark I used previously was just not it. Too many AI apps are using that. (Looking at you, Gemini!) What do you think? #indiedev #iosdev
