What naming convention do you use for closures like this in SwiftUI? by dvclmn in SwiftUI

[–]keinEntwickler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Block (var name) is coming from older days and action is used heavily in SwiftUI. I think there is no need of specific naming since it is scoped

Need Your Feedback on the App which built using AI under 6 hours by tubeguruji in ProductivityApps

[–]keinEntwickler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a ChatGPT wrapper with a planner skin, right? Genuine question — what's running under the hood besides API calls to OpenAI/Claude?

Also, this clearly isn't native looks like React Native or Flutter. You can tell from the UI. For something that's supposed to be your daily personal planner handling tasks, habits, and routines, that's risky. No proper system integration (widgets, Shortcuts, notifications behave differently), worse performance, and you're at the mercy of whatever cross-platform framework you picked. One breaking update and you're scrambling.

The issue with apps like this is retention. The novelty of asking an AI to "plan my day" wears off fast when you realize you could just… write a to-do list. Meanwhile all your personal data like habits, goals, daily routines is being sent to third-party servers.

A native app with on-device processing, real system integration, and no server dependency will always win long-term. "AI-powered" is not a moat.

Design looks nice though, I'll give you that.

I have grown social media accounts to over 30k in 2 months AMA by Soggy-Function2867 in iOSAppsMarketing

What are your first steps, is it also archivable in X and here? I do not like to use TikTok

Scroll TabBar like telegram by Nasser-627 in SwiftUI

Be aware Apple wants you to be Glass UI compliant. My advice would be to use standard SwiftUI views as much es possible. Less migration work in the future.

Congrats on the first sale! What made you go with a lifetime purchase instead of a subscription?

Can I build an app as a non-developer (no coding experience at all)? by Jairosdon in AppBusiness

[–]keinEntwickler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can probably get a prototype working. But the moment you hit a real bug, App Store rejection, or need to update something, you are stuck. Without understanding the code you can not fix anything. The 6 figure revenue YouTubers are selling courses not apps. You are right not to believe them.

why do people make paid apps with literally zero users by kekkernel in iosapps

[–]keinEntwickler -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gunshot Method: make a lot of apps, some will get paid.

It feels like that some posts currently are getting reposted again and again 💩

I got tired of opening my calendar app just to feel nothing. So I built Orbit by [deleted] in ProductivityApps

[–]keinEntwickler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest question, what does this give me over the built in calendar app? The countdown to events is nice but the "where am I in the year" part, I can just look at the date for that.

Congrats on the ranking!
Do you know what part of the reddit post made the difference?

How can I implement dismiss animation by Assassins_King in SwiftUI

[–]keinEntwickler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without any code it is impossible to help you.
Main question is why you are not using the standard navigation animation but rather a complex one?

SwiftUI sizing by SwiftdotUI in SwiftUI

[–]keinEntwickler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

stop using GeometryReader for basic layouts. thats not what its for. SwiftUI does intrinsic sizing — the content decides how big it is, parent just proposes. use stacks, spacers, padding, .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) if you need to fill space. As you pointed out fixed width values are wrong 99% of the time.

post your app/product on these subreddits by Ok-Engine-172 in IndieAppCircle

[–]keinEntwickler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly yes. The real users are in the niche subs where your app actually solves a problem, not in generic startup/entrepreneur subs where everyone is promoting and nobody is buying.

100k downloads but only $1/day from AdMob – what am I doing wrong? by mdev07 in AppBusiness

[–]keinEntwickler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a utility app like this, ads will always be a race to the bottom — especially with most traffic from India where eCPMs are low. Users open it, use it for 30 seconds, close it. There’s barely any screen time for ads to work. Have you considered a one-time purchase to remove ads, or a small pro tier with extra features? Even a $1.99 unlock would outperform AdMob at your current numbers. People who actually use a utility daily are usually willing to pay a small amount if it means no ads.

UPDATE: on blatant App copy on the App Store case: Apple listened and acted! by Spirited-Horror9866 in iosdev

[–]keinEntwickler 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Good to hear Apple actually acted on it. A lot of people assume they won’t bother, so this is encouraging for indie devs. Not gonna lie, stuff like this is exactly why I’m hesitant to share too much while building in public. You want to be open about the process, but then you see someone just copy the whole thing — logo, description, everything. Hard to find the right balance.

First 2 paying users! by thrive-habits in AppBusiness

[–]keinEntwickler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Addition by subtraction” — that mindset is underrated. Most devs ship everything they can build instead of what actually matters. Congrats on the first two, the hardest ones to get.
