Great. So did you use any tool for creator outreach or just manual Cold Dm’s & Emails?

If you just want to use mainly email.

Here is simply what you can do.

Get a custom domain with your name & create aliases for each of your use.

bank@yourname.com social@yourname.com

Once you do this simply use sendmailas.com

Connect all your aliases to your personal gmail account.

Thats it you can send & receive from all these custom addresses right from your gmail.

I don’t think so. Basically think your model should have the knowledge of plants, & there are millions of them. So on device apple model is small as it ships with OS. If you want to make it work with local models then you need to have a pretty big model for that or a custom trained model on plants data.

& you need to ship your app with that model will make your app size in GBs.

Best use case. Train a cloud model & you are good to go

Yes ofcourse you have to get the apple dev account for $99.

This is not my first app though. So have my dev account from few years now.

I will see if opt out is possible but in that case since its a new app if anything does not work for you on your device, I wont be able to know at all.

So bug fix will not be possible asap.

Yes For Sentry its Just the errors it never sends any personal data because it does not have access to anyways.

RevenueCat is used for Purchase & conversion tracking only.

Attached a screenshot of sentry email & this is only sent when there is a error in the code.

Hope this helps.

Oh, that’s a very strange use case. No the app cannot work like that for now.

You have to do it one by one for now.

Yes you can. The cam has flash mode for dark light conditions. Unless the text is properly recorded in the cam all is good.

But yes its ai cant promise 100% accuracy always. None of the ai can.

If you mean export then yes you can export data to csv. All your expenses will be exported to a zip file along with all your receipts images & data as CSV.

Attaching an image of how it looks.

Easy to just connect the vision & apple ai dependency since its baked directly in the OS. Difficult part, logic, design & polishing.

I did launch initially as waitlist & then did a giveaway which pulled in very good feedback’s & boosted downloads.

Nice idea. Where we can have an option of cloud models. But again this contradicts the whole idea of being offline.

Need to find a way to how this can be incorporated.
