Someone made a video on Instagram and TikTok about my app "Reels Templates" which resulted in a lot of downloads from Spain 🇪🇸. I love about Photo & Video apps that quite often marketing can be done for you by influencers for free 🥲

Now on a 4 days vacation at Azores islands. No coding, no worrying, no laptop - just a small retreat from the “hustle”.

And then back to work ✨

#buildinpublic #iosdev #indiedev

🚀 Passed 1k MMR mark 15 days prior the plan with my app "Reels Templates". Now aiming for the 2k!

🤯 I planned to spend half a day on building this feature and it took me 3 DAYS to implement it.

Finally made a search function to find Reels templates or categories. Easy to do on paper but was a challenge with my data model...

📊 I've started asking users in which categories they are interested in on Onboarding.

This helps to personalize templates selections and boost engagement, as well as understand which categories are popular. Adding "📸Photography" next!
