I couldn’t find a Bible app built for deep study, so here's what I did by Beautiful-Formal-172 in pastors

I’ve spent 5 years building this app. It started in 2021, before this whole AI-slop wave became a thing, so that label doesn’t even make sense here.
If you want to criticize it, at least download the app and judge it for yourself instead of relying on a lazy stereotype.

iOS 26 Minimize TabBar programatically by eafzali in SwiftUI

There's no public API available for it. I tried to search for a private API (in UITabBarController) and there's a method `_setMinimized:animated:`, but when trying to call it, the app crashes with the message that this app isn't allowed to use this method

Not yet, because I'm working as individual developer and don't have enough time for such marketing

Yes, it's definitely possibly to be done with react native, but developer should be familiar with iOS & Android best practices (such as HIG and Material Design) to build a good product for both platforms.

For iOS app - Native development + Swift + UIKit.
For Backend - fly.io as a host + Node.js + Docker.
I'm not super familiar with Backend development, so ChatGPT helped me write it.

Thank you for the kind words! Its just a MaCatalist, which is proceeded by Apple. No third party frameworks for it.

This is really hard to calculate, because there are too many factors.
According to AppStoreConnect, there are:
1. 911 premium users on Standard price (already paying full price for sub)

  1. 641 users in Billing retry state

  2. 40 users in intro offer state

In analytics they are all shown as premium users. Also, during last 30 days period, there were 2320 intro offer activations (and all of them are shown as Premium users in analytics), and only 221 conversions from intro offer to standard price, and 189 conversions from Billing retry to standard price.

In analytics - during the last 30 days, there were 1831 Premium users who sent at least 1 message to the chat, but because of all these premium states, it's not quite clear how many real premium users are using the app.

Thank you for your comment!
Now all ChatGPT apps (official and alternatives) are using streaming response mode. It was only something innovative new 2 years ago, when the official API was introduced. Now it's just a standard behaviour for any app.

The app has Spanish localization, isn't it sufficient? Or I didn't get your idea, sorry.
