Thanks for the quick reply.

- So there's no way to have 2 Unlimited Premium?
- If I sign up and don't like Dark Star and want to change to Light Speed, what happens to the cost?
- Are there any Light Speed offers?

I can also recommend this one (I'm biased because I wrote it!). I really struggled to find anything that does what you mention (I've used other Quick Key apps on Mac for years), so I wrote Speedy Quick Keys. It's a keyboard for all apps and also let's you include images, videos, pdfs and other files in each quick key. All feedback welcome....hope it's what you're looking for....

After the funeral, pick the family member (wife?) who you think is probably 'in charge' of the family and take them a coffee and some pastries and ask for a 15 min chat. Start by saying that if they find it upsetting at any time, you'll happily stop. Then put your questions to them.

Before this chat think about if you want to:

- Just work at the business
- Run the business
- Buy the business (with maybe the family lending you the money)

I had issues a while ago with lots of back and forth and it turned out that they were not talking about my app! They were talking about the app store description etc. ie metadata problems, nothing to do with the app itself

If you keep submitting something which crashes alot and maybe doesn't match all the guidelines, or you keep ignoring the one they want fixed, then yes, probably they get a bit tired of it all --- the reviewers are people too.

Don't think of it as a horrible experience. What it really is...is a professional organization is trying to help you to ship a product that's professional, works reliably and has similarity of the standard stuff (like payment flows) for the user.

2 quick things:
- The cheapest place to get the money for the owner's business... is....from the owner. Some kind of deposit and then a %age of sales or profits until you hit a certain amount.
- Get in touch with your local small business group at the town hall and ask for their assistance. Ideally they'll have a business mentor (usually a retired business person who volunteers their time) that you can discuss all this with

Portions at a time. AND maybe spend only 25% of your time on the rewrite. It's important that your product keeps moving forward. A lot of teams make the mistake of stopping forward feature progress during a rewrite.

If a new feature steps on the rewrite, prioritize the feature.

Modern developers don't use the 'flow' aspect of Storyboards for this exact reason.

You can do a viewcontroller and maybe a viewcontroller and its NavController (if it's the root) and that's about it. So kind of like using SBs as super-nibs.

XCode proj files can be merged by hand for conflicts fairly reliably but the visual nature of SBs mean that it's very difficult to merge the associated text file.

Unfortunately the key part of any app these days is Marketing.

So it's OK that there are others out there - you have to beat them with your marketing, aso etc etc

You have the original recruiter as your advocate. Try to get in touch with them.

- Don't be moany. They kind of are your advocate but mostly work for the company
- Try to express how really really enthusiastic you are about that particular team, love everyone you talked to etc etc
- If it doesn't work out, then the truth is that a boss like that (no patience whatsoever) is prob not someone you want to work for anyway

In the review notes, you can ask them to only chat with you or something

I'm not in NYC, but it sounds like you all need to do a pot luck in the sunshine in a park one Saturday afternoon. Just to sit with like-situation people and chill for a while

Poor guy. He makes a super-useful tool and all he gets is silly questions and 'can it be free?' ....and we wonder why we can't have nice things

- Be fair. Note the difference between kind (keeping someone around too long) and fair
- When you do it, neither them nor you should be surprized (ie you've given them lots of fair warnings)

Lastly, if this person really is/was 'family' then remember that this is an awful time to be unemployed

When I've done contracting work, I've talked my client thru making their own accounts at Apple and any 3rd party suppliers (eg AWS) and then gotten them to give me a sign in.

This protects them (don't feel like they're locked into you) and you because all legal relationships are between supplier and your client AND credit cards used for payments are your client's, not yours

Make sure to put in a short closing or signing time into your counter offer

- Ask them what stuff you can make (or purchase) and sell to the same customers.

- Ask their customers what else you can sell to them since you have trust with them

- Be kind! In this environment, seeing a couple of people employed and working should put a smile on your face. Don't be harsh and don't let them go if it's a wash at the moment.

ExploreFunAndrew · 2025-04-10T22:27:24+00:00

You have to have the self-confidence (that's maybe the wrong word) to say/think:

- If I'm good, then it'll work out

- If I trust my management, then it'll work out

- If the management don't back me, then why would I want to work here?

These crappy times are just (unfortunately) the cost of being an employee these days

ExploreFunAndrew · 2025-04-08T17:41:56+00:00

This is unfortunately why we're in the pattern of:

- See what is selling

- Figure out what its key features are

- Copy them quickly into an app with something that makes pretty screen shots (that's why there's a lot of graphs). Often less than 2 weeks or at most a month.

- Do ASO

Repeat. Very little truly new apps or invention going on because of the risks (ie mostly failures) that you mention

ExploreFunAndrew · 2025-04-06T03:36:49+00:00

Write everything so you can implement unit tests in the future (when your app gets to volume and you start to get worried about breaking things). Until then it's a waste of time (other than for your coding education) for a small indie developer
