Thought I'd share, I've done a short little (week and a half) search ad campaign for Baby Wize just to see what would happen, and here are the results #buildinpublic
This took FOREVER and a lot of refactoring, but I was able to reuse the charts from the main app in the watch app 🤯 this saves a lot of repetitive code, and while at it - I got a chance to clean up the charts code in the app! next up, we’ll port the sleep chart ! #buildinpublic
So, real talk now, how do I get places like @9to5mac and other publications to write about Baby Wize? what's the prices with approaching these people? where do you find them? Why is this not talked about? #buildinpublic
On a whim, I’ve started an apple search ads campaign for Baby Wize. Not gonna spend a lot of money, just want to see if this brings any more clicks in 👀 #buildinpublic
Well, initial (I guess mvp?) of PlateCheck is pretty much done. Just a few cosmetic things and we’ll be on our way. I’m taking @jordibruin’s 2-2-2 approach here, and just building and shipping without overthinking it, just as a fun UIKit exercise. #buildinpublic
Is there point in release old, GitHub -only projects to the App Store? Some of them are ready to go as is, but I’ve grown so much since I’ve made them that maybe they don’t reflect my level of code anymore? Or maybe it’s better to just have more shit out there ? #buildinpublic
My phone says it's bed time. The build errors on Xcode say it's gonna be just a bit longer. hyper-fixation is real, and it's one hell of a drug, but in the end - modularisation of Baby Wize will be done #buildinpublic
Ok, jokes aside, simply moving my models to their own package has just shortened my build times SIGNIFICANTLY I'm excited about breaking the app more, but boy oh boy will I need to test everything to avoid regressions #buildinpublic
I keep releasing things for babywize.app , and the more I release the more features and fixes I think of. It’s like a never ending fountain of interest, things to learn, and straight up fun.
I legit just love building stuff, and this is my vessel. #buildinpublic
Productive weekend alert 🚨 After the tip jar being approved yesterday, now we’ve got breast feeding tracking in the app 🎉🎉🎉 This is the first feature that came as a feedback from users, which is insane to me So much more to come ! #buildinpublic
Adding a tip jar 💸 First time doing IAP, basically just copy and pasted everything @tundsdev shows lol But this might be the first ever money I've made from an app (as long as, you know, someone will use it 😂) Even if they don't, cool learning experience #buildinpublic
Baby Wize's todo list on Launch Buddy just keep getting longer and longer, and it's just so fun to have a project that you know you can make better and better.
atm, working on breast feeding tracking
so many ideas, not enough time, but so much motivation! #buildinpublic
