I am opening up a private early beta for AppDesk (a native desktop app for mac). AppDesk makes it very convenient to view AppStore reviews from all countries in one place and respond to them with an AI generated response. If you have a need of such a tool please DM me your email. #buildinpublic

I'll be giving away promo-codes to download WeatherMenu for free. Leave a comment below or send me a DM if you are interested. apps.apple.com/us/app/weath...

Playing with gradient animations for special user interaction. Here I'm animating the background & borders using gradient transitions as well as animating the text as it appears. Happy with the results so far! #swift #buildinpublic #macos

These inline transitions feel far more delightful & nicer than presenting a modal dialog, plus these are super easy to implement in swiftUI. This one line code is all you need: .transition(.offset(.init(width: 0, height: -40)).combined(with: .opacity)) #buildinpublic #swift #swiftui #macos

New starter pack to bring all bird photographers together on bsky. If you are one of them, please add a comment and I'll add. go.bsky.app/4ioyQKo

Nice! WeatherMenu is ranking #3 under weather category on the mac appstore. Thank you to everyone who tried it. #buildinpublic

Here's a quick preview of Tide Alert for iOS. Available in US, UK and Australia. apps.apple.com/us/app/tide-... #buildinpublic #tidealert #ios

Now I've added the ability to generate a response using GenAI for appstore reviews within the app. #appstore #iOS #macOS #indiesky #buildinpublic

By far one of my favourite talks about how swiftui works under the hood and what we should know about common performance pitfalls and boosts www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDRr...

I’ve just started this brand-new group with Apple platforms developers. New here myself - say Hi to join. Please repost for some visibility.

I have added the ability to respond to user reviews now from the app. Next up: adding Open AI integration to draft a response for you. #buildinpublic #indiedev #iOS #macOS #appstore

Excited to launch WeatherMenu for macOS! 🚀 Introducing an 80% introductory discount for our early supporters this week. Grab your copy and transform how you check weather on your Mac! apps.apple.com/us/app/weath... #indieappsales #indiedev #swiftui #macos #indieapp

@maxrohowsky.bsky.social I'm building @tidealertapp.bsky.social and starting on few others as well.

Building a native app to view and respond to appstore reviews for all my apps quickly. Got tired of how slow using Appstore connect was for this purpose.
