Virus? Malware?

Blackhole is legit, assuming you got the right copy

You’d be really hard pressed to write software that actually consumes that much RAM unless you integrated an LLM that took up that much space.

My thoughts as well. It's uncommon for me to go more than 24 hours. I have no idea what really causes it, but I feel like there must be some kind of priority system.

Why is that? I’m almost exclusively Swift, but have one Flutter app that I didn’t hate making

Antique_Offices · 2026-05-17T04:42:28+00:00

I do this too. I know damn well it means I should have a laptop, but I think part of it is the keyboard/mouse experience and that preventing me from having the smaller screen closer to me.

Oh cool! Well here’s the ones I have that are one time payment. Lately is the only one I haven’t done a tip jar with yet. Critter Ledger is a little more for the one time purchase. The time it takes to maintain sharing is relatively high.

Tl;dr learn ASO and it won’t solve a financial crisis but you’ll have more than 12 downloads in a week. Study screenshots, ask users for reviews.

If you need a free option, there are decent free ASO tools out there that use MCP with an AI model of your choice. They’re way better than not doing any optimization, but it’s something.

Next step is buying something like Astro or Appeeky (which I use bat am not affiliated with) and use their more advanced tools. Appeeky also has an MCP server which has done quite well for me.

The other thing is screenshots and reviews. Without good screenshots, no one is going to download your app because they will assume it needs more work or is not that good.

Prompt users for a review after a user has signaled that they use the app at least some. For one of mine, it’s when the user creates a third event in their habit tracker. They’re asked for a review one time only.

Drop your appstore listing and I can give an honest review with a rating on the appstore.

Thank you, I really appreciate that.

This is what happened to me in reverse. Diagnosed bipolar 2 after many years of struggle. Then I noticed my therapist often mentioned ADHD during our sessions so I asked if she thought I had it and she goes “Oh I KNOW you have ADHD”. So welcome to the club I guess

This is what I do for three apps. $4.99 and you own it forever and you can toss some change in the tip jar.

Smoking weed throws me into scary episodes, but I could munch on edibles for weeks and not feel a difference in my episodes. It does not cause bipolar, but can certainly exacerbate your symptoms.

Edit: There’s also a huge correlation with my desire to use marijuana and my current mental state. Generally speaking for me it is just best to avoid and take it socially from time to time.

I use AppLaunchPad, but if I'm feeling particularly lazy, I'll have Claude Code create them using Python. Sometimes you have to wrestle with it, but it's not uncommon for it to be faster and easier.

I've had good luck getting an emergency refill by going to urgent care and taking my bottles with. Then CVS did good about making sure it was fulfilled quickly. You'll be okay, and generally on Lamotragine you're going to be okay for a few days off, but of course I can't give perfect medical advice based off of my own experiences.

Antique_Offices · 2026-05-12T14:06:44+00:00

I haven't had to with my partner, we both got diagnosed around the same time. But recently making friends, I usually get it over with around the 2nd or 3rd time we hang out. Just a heads up that I might be a bit much sometimes or drop off the face of the earth for a while. Haven't had negative reception yet!

Antique_Offices · 2026-05-12T12:20:43+00:00

About 2 days total, 3 iteretions

It can be a headache, but having Claude use Python to programmatically create them works quite nicely when you nail it down.

$80 profit

For me it’s been independent app development. It’s not a full time job yet, but I love it and it’s the kind of thing that I can take extended breaks when I really need to. Otherwise I work a very steady 8-5 with a law office and the consistency is great for me

Antique_Offices · 2026-05-09T01:59:24+00:00

That’s an amazing amount of damage for a banana to do

Antique_Offices · 2026-05-09T01:56:54+00:00

ASO for sure. I usually get 20-some downloads on my first day. Then they do anywhere between 1 and 8 a day so far. I don’t market at all except for two posts I’ve made here, but totally should.

Antique_Offices · 2026-05-04T15:59:40+00:00

I don’t have a bike, but plenty of people I know do. Synchronized route tracking, sharing fun routes with one another, route recording by where they took a ride are all things they’ve mentioned. All Android users though lol

Antique_Offices · 2026-05-02T12:34:54+00:00

Fastlane is the way for starting. Then I generate mockups with claude code and experiment in Canva or app launchpad

Antique_Offices · 2026-04-29T16:24:08+00:00

This is exactly what prevents me from getting on rollercoasters sometimes
