Decided to take a look at my App Store Connect Analytics which, truthfully I don't look at enough. I am incredibly surprised... 408 total downloads since launch (April 2021) with 0 marketing pushes, just word of mouth and organic through searching. #indiedev #ios #buildinpublic
While I really like this, the buttons don’t have labels so they can lead to confusion and for accessibility, I believe labels are important. Their size also doesn’t lead them to be very tapable. This looks better, just need a fun way to spruce it up. #buildinpublic #appdesign
I have found that @rocketsim_app is by far one of the easiest methods to taking simulator screenshots, videos and gifs. It's nice not to have to add any additional dependencies to my projects. #ios #indiedev #buildinpublic
Seeking alternatives to @RevenueCat if anyone has any recommendations I’d love to hear them. #ios #indiedev #buildinpublic
One of the best parts about building @heatbuddyapp thus far has been the amount of forced learning.. different things and principles. One thing that’s key is to just keep trying! #buildinpublic #ios #indiedev
Looking to see if I can link with someone who uses @RevenueCat for subscriptions alongside @Firebase authentication. I'd like to make sure that my flow is correct and that I'm not missing key points. #ios #buildinpublic #firebaseauth #revenuecat
Which design tool do you use for designing iOS apps and what makes it better then other options? #ios #buildinpublic #indiedev
Todays project was fun. This is a rough draft but I love the little animation! Dipped into UIKit using UIViewRepresentable which has been coming in clutch lately for this project.

Spent the last week or so working on one feature update for @heatbuddyapp and one bug fix. Both are ready for testing and hoping to be pushed by my target date. #buildinpublic #ios #heatingoil #oilprices
Anyone have experience with MapKit? Looking to offer a list option for annotations after a user searches a location and is provided annotations in the viewport. #ios #mapkit #buildinpublic
Let’s talk app marketing, what channels are you using? What do you find to be the best ROI? How do you know how to target a specific market? #business #buildinpublic #indiedev #iosdev #appstore
The final version of HeatBuddy beta is on TestFlight before it goes to the AppStore, I welcome you all to try it and let me know if you have any issues. #testflight #buildinpublic #indiedev #ios #heatingoil #oilprices
as @heatbuddyapp continues to progress into it's scope, I'm noticing changes that will be needed in terms of restructuring. When do you decide to take that step and restructure and why? #buildinpublic #indiedev #technology #iosdevelopment #ios
great little coding session, got @heatbuddyapp user profile fleshed out, allowing users to edit their profile accordingly. Slowly getting there! #buildinpublic #indiedev #iOSDev
@heatbuddyapp has been the product I’ve wanted to launch since day one of my iOS journey! It aims to help homeowners find the best price for home heating oil in their area by comparing the prices. #buildinpublic #indiedev #homeheating #heating #HVAC
Nice quality of life update and some refactoring completed last night with help from my mentor.

Under the hood update today that fixes the following issues!
• Search bar not functioning.
• Map redrawing every time a user typed into the search bar after initial search.
• Map forcing you back to previous searched area on any navigation change.

Has anyone used @AppStorage for saving an array to UserDefaults or do you always have to use the manual UserDefaults method?
