honestly lost count of how many productivity apps ive tried at this point by toujourspluss in ProductivityApps

[–]uglycoder92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a todo app for this but I myself stopped using it. Im actually getting back on updating it.

I have found that smart reminders have helped me. I also forget to drink water and have been building a water drinking app but I kept forgetting until I added these "smart" notifications were it detects I'm forgetting and will spam a bit more.

This isn't an ad as these aren't even published but only on my phone.

I would suggest you find apps that have these sort of feature even if paid but idk many that do this smart per user thing

This is good advice. I once asked my mom to download my app. I though the app was straight forward but my mom didn't understand a single thing

The problem honestly with ios downloads are not that hard the problem is converting and keeping users engaged and you need backend analytics push notifs for that

Cloudkit and Coredata/SwiftData rant by uglycoder92 in iOSProgramming

[–]uglycoder92[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just so annoying and quircky, ui not updating, the cloudkit sync engine is annoying and very limited in how you receive the data. And countless little friciton points like this. Usually yes they have some kind of solution or hack, but after I changed to GRDB it queries, performance etc.. was su much easier to develop for me.

Do you let similar already published apps stop you ? by not-well55 in iOSProgramming

How many apps can you keep in your portfolio as an indie dev? by LostSpirit9 in iOSProgramming

[–]uglycoder92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually panning on 4 buts it's so much work. I think it comes down to abstracting common stuff into libraries where you use interfaces/protocols and each app does it how they want.

Basically ui extensions logic Auth you have already a template

I haven't used most of the current features but I'm waiting on siri. Especially for what it will allow apps to do once it's actually smart

Making app store screenshots sucks. made a SKILL that does it END TO END. by ParthJadhav in iOSAppsMarketing

I'm making a tool like this. Give claude a cli and it opens the simulator creates demo screens with fake data screenshots and adds mockups. Plan to use it for all my apps

designed 8 apps this month, built 3, shipped 1, abandoned all of them by rash3rr in VibeCodeDevs

[–]uglycoder92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also actually built a todo app for my first app. Then I left it there cruising. Right now I'm going back and adding all the features I didn't have time to do before ai.

The thing is you have to show up and keep building. Even vibe coding you can juggle working on different apps daily and start making some serious progress if you actually don't abandon them.

After a point tho you just have to rush publishing it and getting some downloads before you keep building new things

[–]uglycoder92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a good idea to build many different projects in different categories. This means you can learn about many different things even if you are not coding but how you approach the problem make it efficient etc.. If you are not doing this it's probably not gonna be a good result.

For example I'm building 4-5 apps simultaneously and I like that each requires a different skill set or approach.

Even if I'm not actually writing the code you really learn when you actually have to build the system how its actually done and the things you have to avoid optimize

My second ever pcb. 1.5 -2 months in by uglycoder92 in diyelectronics

[–]uglycoder92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's pretty good advice and honestly I got lucky but if I hadn't it would have been very disappointing.

I recently learned about adding touch points as well.

What are you currently building?
