v1.18 of Seasons Journaling is live in the app store! Powered my way through building some mood tracking charts with SwiftUI. Learned A TON. Now on to updating the rich text editing experience. Let's gooo 💪

Null state with Paywall. Pretty much giving this feature away for free, but that should evolve as the "stats" part of the feature set matures. Revenue model experimentation is always on the back of my mind...

Null state🤷‍♂️

Haven't been very active on Twitter lately. Just grinding away. With any luck, I might even have a release soon. It's been a while!🤞

#buildinpublic #iosdev #swiftui

I've been relentlessly trying to investigate and fix animation hitches in my carousel. Been studying a lot of things well beyond my comprehension, but I finally had a breakthrough. Savoring this moment.

#buildinpublic #iosdev #swiftui

Still a lot to suffer through, but making progress and learning a ton about SwiftUI.

#buildinpublic #iosdev

An epiphany is like a brain orgasm. Good night everybody.

#buildinpublic #iosdev #SwiftUI

Tomorrow, I figure out how my code works.

#buildinpublic #iosdev

Back at it hacking my way forward. Real data in a SwiftUI view.

#buildinpublic #iosdev

SwiftUI experts - is there an easy way to use real Core Data data in the Canvas Preview?

Haven't found a straightforward approach. I'm also working on a SwiftUI view in an existing UIKit project.

Attn: With my Product Hunt launch just hours away, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that my Product Hunt launch is just hours away...

#buildinpublic #iosdev

Interesting side benefit of the marketing efforts in preparation for my PH Launch - it's working on myself!

Working on my website, images, video, etc has helped convinced me my product is more appealing than it probably is. Whatever keeps you going! 😅

#buildinpublic #iosdev

The week is finally here!

Sign up from my @ProductHunt upcoming page bit.ly/3BGAVCZ to support my launch this Thursday! I'll be sharing my learnings & results to those who sign up 🚀🙏

Here's a fun video my friend and I made for the launch :)

#buildinpublic #iosdev

A 2 star review came in last night 😭 Bummer, but I think I'm handling it better than before. Appreciate the opportunity to test my resolve.

#buildinpublic #iosdev

It's a common feature among journaling apps, but the early results of my in-app survey shows that users are hungry for some sort of mood tracking.

Here's an early mockup of what the feature might look like.

#buildinpublic #iosdev

Learning about SwiftUI the last couple of days. Excited to start building again.

#buildinpublic #iosdev

Focusing on marketing is really challenging me to not live in the results. I feel a lot of resistance to putting myself out there, but I know it's good for me, and I'm also creating a fair amount of reusable content & collateral.

Some marketing materials for my @ProductHunt page.

Most of the signups for my PH Upcoming page have come from Twitter and contributing to PH Discussions. Decent engagement on some Reddit posts, but that hasn't led to sign ups. The incentive to share my learnings from the launch seems to be effective.
