Pushed version 2.0 of Reels Templates to the store with a new very important feature - projects autosaving.

Now all users work is saved and nothing is lost. A long requested feature which I hope will work well and es expected 🤞🏼

Spent a night yesterday fixing my bs code with GPT4.

It did. Freaking. Incredible. It solved all the crashes without me even elaborating much. The crash rate should be improved drastically in the next update.

Apparently, I am a good marketer but a shitty programmer...

Can't stop cringing at my app in its current state when working on the new update for it. Like...how do people even use it right now? It is unusable!

I dream of getting the same banner for my app one day. Does anyone know the rules/terms of getting it?

Shipped a massive update of Reels Templates!

Added a feature which allows to customize texts from ready-made templates. Also finally updated the screenshots and even started an A/B test on them - that should improve my ASA stats.

@SamGherman The spread of word while #buildinpublic is tempting
- it helps to get first users which is nice at the first stage. Later on, maybe it is not worth it anymore.

I stopped sharing the numbers after my app got copycated 3 times. Litteraly screen for screen, button for button in a tasteless fashion.

That is one of the biggest disadventages of #buildinpublic

Our first paid user EVER is still with us after half a year 🔥

The day he/she unsubscribes would be the saddest.

Today I am celebrating 6 months since launch of my app Reels Templates and just reaching 1k ratings on the US App Store.

4.9 rating holding strong! #buildinpublic

Made an Upsell paywall.

This is the first version of an upsell paywall in my app Reels Templates. It is an alternative paywall for users who don’t concert. My goal is to run experiments with it and boost the revenue by 15% with it 🧵

That scarry feeling when you ask a question on StackOverflow and people say my problem is a bug on Apple side...something that was working in iOS 15 stopped working in iOS 16 and that code I have in production. Gotta find a work aroudn quick.

Time flies! Already almost 3 months since launch. New influencer gave me a massive boost in all metrics.

#buildinpublic #indiedev #SaaS

One more influencer promoted "Reels Templates" in exchange for a PRO version which resulted in a HUGE increase of all metrics.

All previous records had been beaten (downloads, DAU, revenue wise). Huge thanks to her and her audience.
