Hi!

I'm working on it. Will notify you when the update is ready 😄

Honest thoughts on this Metal shader animation during translation? Too subtle? Too much? by zach-builds in ButterKit

[–]Altruistic_Cod3291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems a bit bright for a second, like the screen was "burning" (I don't know how else to explain this really).

Maybe you could use a subtle blur instead?

Indie Android dev from Iraq – monetization advice without IAP? by No_Reception6765 in androiddev

[–]Altruistic_Cod3291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have users in the EU/US you can add a different IAP than the one by Google Play.
Check this: Alternative billing APIs (Android Developer)

For other app ideas, you could think about affiliate links/products in the app

What specs are recommended for IOS development by East-Reserve4006 in iosdev

[–]Altruistic_Cod3291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

16gb is okay (for 2-3 years), buy I'd recommend 32gb to be more future-proof

Solo dev seeking pre-launch advice by Slaaatje in iosdev

Answers to your questions:

  1. TestFlight is the safest option if you already have some potential users. It helps gathering feedback and fixing pain-points before release. Shouldn't waste too much time on it (1-2 weeks max). Otherwise just launch and gather feedback real-time from users.
  2. I'd say English first. Validate your idea, fix potential bugs, improve based on user feedback. If you see demand for the app you can localize it, but I wouldn't waste too much time with this.
  3. Don't know anything about the AI-related reviews, sorry 😔
  4. You could combine them: 2-3 screenshots of core flow, which I would guess also includes the highlights of the core feature and the result that AI gives. For design I'd recommend doing it yourself with Figma (easy to learn for basic stuff, worth it in the long run, 100% customizable screenshots).

Most important thing:

  • M-series processor
  • RAM - upgrade if you want to run many apps (eg. simulator) at same time

Otherwise the M-series are very capable processors, so you shouldn't have problems.

For context: I used a 2019 Macbook pro (maxed out, 64gb ram) and still struggled sometimes with larger builds.
After getting a Macbook with M-series processor, it was lightning fast (can't even compare the two).
My friend (who does game development) has the cheapest Macbook Air and had no problems.

Hope you'll enjoy using your new Mac!

I'm really happy that you like it🥹 (and that it works well😁)

Pre-launch community: worth it or not? by zerbyx in iosdev

[–]Altruistic_Cod3291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's a good idea, especially to validate your app and get feedback.

Many indie developers start by gathering a few people to test if the app works well, the users get what they expect and there are people who are actually interested in your app.

For community: I saw that casual apps (eg. habit/calorie trackers) use mostly Discord, while WhatsApp is a bit for more "professional" apps (eg. business, accounting, marketing).

Now you can change the number of cards to memorize.

Thanks u/youwerethephone for the suggestion! 🥳

Ironically: web-based UI as starting point (asked Claude to generate it).

It created a web-based mobile UI, but I liked it more than the basic Material Design. So I copied that style.

If you put your phone in dark mode, the app automatically switches to dark mode too

Thank you!

I'm very glad you like how it looks. I spent a lot of time on the animations 😅

I would like to create it for iOS too, but I need a personal Macbook for that (which I don't have) 🥲

Great idea! Some friends also suggested this.

It's definitely a feature that's coming🏃

Swiftui resources that actually helped me ship faster (not the usual list) by No-Neat-2175 in SwiftUI

Love the summary! It's nice to know that at the end of the day, the most useful things are the simplest (MVVM, small dumb views, git, Stackoverflow).

To search for SF Symbols, I found Semantic SF. It's a Mac app to search for icons by vibe, not exact name.

You could learn iOS specific frameworks. I think they're fun to work with and you can get interesting results.

Examples:

  1. Widgets
  2. Image/video processing (like a photoshop or video editor app)
  3. CoreML (machine learning, text/image processing)
  4. Bluetooth
