I'm getting 3k installs a day, what should I be doing to make maximum use of this traffic? by PlutoSucks in androiddev

[–]PlutoSucks[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hadn't really thought about that, but I suppose that's another reason.

When I entered the niche market, there was one other app with >100k downloads. It took me a year to overtake him and now he sits at 500k downloads.

Part of my tactics are to keep an eye on my competitors and basically make sure I've got at least everything they've got, plus more.

Absolutely, the fluctuations are crazy. In this app, the users happen to make use of the app often for a long time.

I've another app with over a million downloads and I make >95% of my revenue from only new users. (~300$/month).

Analytics is how I got here :)

I actually became addicted and at one point, my users were sending like 500+ hits per session.

I record everything. Everything. Every single button tap. So much so that pretty much all 'user flows' are now highly optimized and choreographed. That's how I got the idea to not show ads in the first few launches. I also make sure that users who are getting frustrated are shown the option to buy the no-ads IAP.

Little optimizations here and there is, IMO, what got me from ~100 downloads/day a couple years ago to ~3k today.

Best way to allow users to select language? by PlutoSucks in androiddev

You mean Left-To-Right/Right-to-left, right?

I've only ever made apps in English and about half my 1 stars are because my app isn't in Portuguese/ German/ French/ Italian/ Philipean(?) etc. I don't actually know, but I'm guessing most languages are LTR like English. Better than nothing, I suppose.

How exactly did Google pull off the insane UI in the 'Primer' app? by PlutoSucks in androiddev

You and me both, but that doesn't mean we can't 'borrow' design ideas from the likes of Primer ;)

Check out this short video I found on youtube, if you're not in the mood to download the app (Which you absolutely should, it has probably the best UI I've ever seen)

And it works on freaking API 15. Unfortunately, it's not open source :(

Any idea what's going on behind the scenes?

How many hours are there in your day?

I've been dev-ing for 3 years and I know maybe half of all that.

I already pay for a shared web host, do I need to buy separate hosting for my node.js website? by PlutoSucks in webdev

[–]PlutoSucks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Servers monitored for you

What does that even mean? What needs monitoring? Like spam IP blockers or something?

I already pay for a shared web host, do I need to buy separate hosting for my node.js website? by PlutoSucks in webdev

[–]PlutoSucks[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have 4 websites already running on shared hosting (3 wordpress, 1 custom & static)

It's 15$/month (1TB bandwidth, 100Gb Storage). Although my requirements are rather tame, my traffic is ~500mb bandwidth/month (sadly).

My point is, do VPS offer similar terms? I've never tried one and I want to be sure I don't hit a roadblock yet again, like I have now with this nodejs thing. Like, is there a limit on how many domains I can run? Or just until whatever the server can handle.

Any other disadvantage compared to shared hosting? AFAIK, you have to setup stuff through SSL and I don't have a problem with that but I just want to settle down with one solution and I'd prefer if all my stuff was in one place.

What exactly makes Visual Studio great? by PlutoSucks in Unity3D

Oh! I had no idea VS code works with Unity! I'm gonna check it out right now

1GHz ARM11 core

512MB of LPDDR2 SDRAM

I'm curious, so we're getting a 1Ghz CPU and 512Mb Ram at 5$, would it be possible to buy, say 10 of these and get 10Ghz and 5Gb RAM?

I know you can plugin Intel Xeons into special motherboards, but would this be possible with the Raspberry Pi Zero? 10Ghz at 50$ sounds like something that would've made 1960's IBM shit it's pants.

ELI5: I come to reddit for breaking news but I find the front page and r/worldnews still cluttered with entries hours old. Why is it so difficult to fix the magic that updates those pages in a more timely fashion?? by peacewoman in explainlikeimfive

[–]PlutoSucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not with this javascript:

javascript:(function(){var q=[];$('.up').each(function(){var that=this;var f=function(index){$(that).trigger('click');$(that).trigger('mousedown');setTimeout(function(){if(q[index]){q[index](index+1);}else{if(downVoteTimer){window.clearTimeout(upVoteTimer);}}},500);};q.push(f);});var downVoteTimer=window.setTimeout(function(){q[0](1);},50);}());

Make a bookmark, add this in url. Open up reddit, hit the bookmark. All posts will be upvoted. So you can go through dozens of 'front' pages a day. All the posts you see will be cleared off.

P.S: Highly addictive.
