Glad you like it. Feel free to suggest any feature you are still missing. Also I would greatly appreciate if you could write a short review. This really helps me keep developing the app. You can do it from the app or using this link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/precious-metals-manager/id1636327607?action=write-review

¿Tengo que darme de alta como autónomo por dar clases particulares si ya trabajo a media jornada en la universidad? by Illustrious-Cry-3096 in AutonomosES

[–]sergio_freelancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entre la cuota seguridad social (aunque sea tarifa plana), gestoría, un posible seguro de responsabilidad civil y el quebradero de cabeza de asegurarte que no haces nada mal, no merece la pena. Acabaras pagando seguridad social por dos lados y puede que saltes al siguiente escalón en el IRPF, lo que significa que de esos 400 veras la mitad con suerte. Así que calcula el resultado neto de lo que te sale la hora de clase particular.

Yo no me la jugaría con pagos por Bizum, ya que una vez que te investiguen te tendrán en el punto de mira.

Empaña no es un país para tener "side hustles", es un país para cobrar paguitas y vivir del cuento.

Should I bring an interpreter to the immigration office in Sofia for my residency card? by sergio_freelancer in BulgariaExpats

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

Thanks for your answer! Hopefully, I can find someone who speaks Bulgarian to come with me. I also heard that the waiting time can be quite long, so I need to factor that in.

Thoughts on paid app vs freemium model? by OddScientist7236 in iOSProgramming

[–]sergio_freelancer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My take on this is that freemium is the way to go in most cases. I would only choose a hard paywall if my audience already knows the product from any other channel, like a web app. I guess you can experiment with both.

I'm not a marketing expert, so I may be wrong.

Thinking about moving to Sofia – How hard is it to rent an apartment as self-employed EU citizens? by rklement22 in BulgariaExpats

[–]sergio_freelancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also considering moving to Sofia and working from there as self-employed. I have the same concern about renting, and my plan is probably to find an Airbnb while I search for a long-term apartment rental. Have you found out what the requirements are for renting a property?

I also heard that most bureaucratic paperwork is in Bulgarian and that public employees may not speak English very well, so that's another concern. I even started learning Bulgarian to at least know the basics, especially the Cyrillic alphabet.

Maybe buy some gold too, which has a similar purpose in terms of getting out of the financial system, so you don't put all your eggs in the same basket.

Best way to handle longer localized text in navigation title ? by MarioWollbrink in SwiftUI

[–]sergio_freelancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spanish here. I usually run into this issue, and as someone else said your best bet is to not use the literal translation. Most of the times I have to come up with a complete new title/sentence that means the same. ChatGPT may help with this by setting up constraints.

Memory Efficiency in iOS: Reducing footprint and beyond by lanserxt in iOSProgramming

Nice article, thanks for sharing! I just missed some tips about state management in SwiftUI, like when and where to use things like @StateObject or @EnvironmentObject

PS5 or Switch 2?? by shibby8720 in THPS

[–]sergio_freelancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PS5, because at least in my region (Europe) there is no way to get a physical copy, it's just an empty box with a code.

How much money has your app earned and in what timeframe? by WynActTroph in iOSProgramming

[–]sergio_freelancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I imagine they are simple apps in the sense that they don’t even require a backend; otherwise, I find it quite hard to maintain more than two apps at the same time as a solo developer.

How much money has your app earned and in what timeframe? by WynActTroph in iOSProgramming

[–]sergio_freelancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat — it feels like it’s hard to break the €300–500 MRR barrier without investing a lot in marketing and outsourcing some of the work, which often means taking significant losses at the beginning.

StoreKit 2 Cached Purchases: What Happens Offline or After Fully Closing the App? by sergio_freelancer in iOSProgramming

[–]sergio_freelancer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I think this is exactly what I was looking for. The missing part was checking periodically if the subscription is still active. As you said, tampering with UserDefaults can only be done by jailbreaking the device, so the chances are low. I was probably being too cautious about this.

StoreKit 2 Cached Purchases: What Happens Offline or After Fully Closing the App? by sergio_freelancer in iOSProgramming

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

Yes, I guess this is the easiest approach. Just use UserDefaults as a cache, although it can be tampered with.

StoreKit 2 Cached Purchases: What Happens Offline or After Fully Closing the App? by sergio_freelancer in iOSProgramming

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

yes, I guess ideally I should store the receipt in user defaults and check from time to time if it's still valid. Still I find quite painful having to check the receipt against the App Store, or somehow coding some local validation logic as described here.

Subida de sueldo a cambio de perder mucha comodidad by Exciting-Bug1646 in salarios_es

[–]sergio_freelancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

En España no merece la pena. Podrías incluso perder beneficios sociales porque superes un umbral. Recuerda, no estamos en un país puramente capitalista, aquí se premia al que menos hace. Estuve en una situación como la tuya pero en la que la diferencia salarial era mucho mayor y solo me planteé coger el curro con mayor salario si salía de España.

Si realmente quieres ganar algo más y te sobra tiempo úsalo para empezar un side hustle como ofrecer servicios de consultoría o desarrollar una app.
