Do you think showing user reviews inside the paywall helps increase conversions ? #BuildInPublic #indiedev #dev

💡 Quick tip Make sure to adjust your pricing for different continents. Buying power and user mindset vary a lot across regions. A price that works in the US might scare off users elsewhere. Smart pricing = better conversions. #BuildInPublic #indiedev #SwiftUI

💡Quick tip from my indie experience Use WishKit if you want users to request features inside the app, it makes them feel involved and helps you understand what they actually need. #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SwiftUI

What’s your #1 marketing tip as an indie dev? For me: Reddit 👽 It brought solid traction but you’ve got to engage smart. Reddit can be brutal if you don’t play it right. #buildinpublic

How long have you been building in public? #buildinpublic #indie

That first app purchase feeling hits harder than any metric ever could #BuildInPublic #iosdev

Do you check your competitors’ app reviews before building a new app to find missing gaps ? #buildinpublic #iosdev #swiftui

Don’t wait for the “perfect time.” Build fast. Ship faster. Learn in public. #Buildinpublic

Thinking of building something foodies might enjoy: Imagine a feed of real reviews from real people near you — all anonymous, no clout-chasing. Would this be useful in your city? #buildinpublic #iosDev

One small change that boosted my app’s sales: I added a paywall right after onboarding. Not sure why it works… but it works. #buildinpublic #iosdev #swiftui

Do you add accessibility support in your apps? (VoiceOver, dynamic text, etc.) #buildinpublic #iosdev #swiftui

If you’re building iOS apps: Make sure to join App Store Small Business Program They cut App Store commission down to 15% instead of 30%! #buildinpublic #iosDev #swiftui

Before building an app: “I’ll just code it and make millions.” 💰 After building an app: Marketing. Marketing. Marketing. Building is just step 1. Marketing is king 👑 #buildinpublic

On a scale of 1–10, how excited are you about what you’re building right now? I’m at a solid 11 🔥 #buildinpublic #indiedev

7 months into my indie dev journey—here’s what’s worked: • Get user feedback • Engage with your niche • Don’t quit too early • Market hard One viral moment can change things (my app on 9to5Mac = $$$ for weeks) • Believe in what you’re building #BuildInPublic #indiedev

Me: Posts consistently, engages, adds value Bluesky Algorithm: Seen 12 times Also me: When will you love me back? #Buildinpublic

What’s your #1 tip for someone just starting their indie dev journey? #BuildInPublic #indiedev

☕️ Would you recommend starting a new idea or doubling down on marketing your earlier apps? #BuildInPublic #indiedev

Made $2.3K as a solo indie dev so far. Marketing mattered more than I thought. Some free channels ⬇️ ✅ Subreddit feedback ✅ Hacker News launch ✅ Black Friday deals directories ✅ Got picked by 9to5Mac ❌ Product Hunt (low for me) Still learning ASO. Marketing ≠ optional #BuildInPublic #indieDev

LetUsAnimate is live! Turn your selfies into comic strips or AI artwork in seconds. Faced a few App Store rejections, but it’s finally approved. Would love your support — check it out & drop a rating if you like it! DOWNLOAD HERE apps.apple.com/au/app/ai-ar... #BuildInPublic #iOSDev #AI

Just posted my second TikTok for PostPocket — it’s only 10 mins old and already getting more traction than my first one. Trying TikTok marketing for the first time, let’s see where it goes! #buildinpublic #indiedev #swiftui Checkout my video on tiktok: vt.tiktok.com/ZSh6GVp3m/

🎉YourChecklist is now ranking #60 in South Korea’s App Store (Productivity) Excited to see how far it can go — hoping to break into the Top 50 soon! If you haven’t tried it yet, check it out here: apps.apple.com/in/app/daily... #BuildInPublic #iosdev #indie

Just dropped a 24hr free lifetime deal for YourChecklist on AppRaven — and my phone hasn’t stopped buzzing! Hoping this brings in solid downloads + App Store reviews. Thanks so much for the support, truly! #BuildInPublic #swiftui #iosdev #indiedev

2 weeks since launch: 1,100+ downloads, $77 revenue, 0 marketing. YourChecklist is in a saturated space, but the early response is solid. Clean UX + ASO-first approach = promising start! Excited to build more! apps.apple.com/in/app/daily... #buildinpublic #iosdev

Just launched YourChecklist on iOS! The daily checklist space is saturated — but this is an ASO-driven experiment. Found high-volume, low-competition keywords & built around real pain points like streaks + auto-resets. App Store: apps.apple.com/in/app/daily... #buildinpublic #iosdevelopment

Launching my checklist app this week! While the idea is saturated, I’ve found high-traffic, low-competition keywords, making this an ASO-driven experiment. The goal is to test how well strategic optimization can drive organic growth in a competitive market. #BuildInPublic #iosdevelopment #swiftui

Do you use an app to manage step-by-step checklists for recurring tasks—like a skincare routine, coding interview prep, or deployment process? Would love to hear your thoughts—do you use something similar, or would this be useful to you? #BuildInPublic #IndieDev

🎉 PostPocket Now Supports Dark Mode! Dark mode is finally here! Thanks to your feedback, we’ve added a sleek, eye-friendly dark mode to PostPocket. #BuildInPublic #iOSDev

Submitted my new app design on Appstore for review. - Changed the theme and the UI design of the app. - Changed the app logo - Changed the Onboarding - Changed the screenshots Will release the insights after a week. Stay Tuned! #BuildInPublic #iOSDev

I’m almost done with the redesign of my app. What do you guys think about my new onboarding ? Does this answer the crucial question “why does my users need this app” ? #BuildInPublic

Designing a new logo for PostPocket. What do you guys think which one looks better ? Left or right ? #BuildInPublic #iOSDev

🤩🤩 Reviews like these motivate me to keep improving my app. #BuildInPublic #IOSDev

Just redesigned my app to improve the user experience! Moved from A → B, reducing taps while keeping things clean and intuitive. Let me know your thoughts on the changes. Also thinking of a theme color update—any suggestions? #BuildInPublic #iOSDev

Getting many downloads from Vietnam but noticed that Asia and Pacific users weren’t converting to sales. Tweaked pricing last night as an experiment—got 5 sales! Lesson learned: Always test pricing based on region. Small changes can make a big difference. #BuildInPublic #iOSDev

There are plenty of subscription tracking apps, but I still believe it should be faster to add a subscription and, most importantly, get a reminder before I get charged. It shouldn’t feel like extra work—just quick, simple, and effective. What’s your take on this ? #BuildInPublic #iOSDev

Curious to hear from developers—how do you evaluate the price of your app when selling it? Any tips for app valuation ? #BuildInPublic #SwiftUI #iOSDev

🎉 PostPocket just hit $2,034 USD in revenue in just 3 months! Though there were many bookmarking apps on store, I developed this to solve my problems. Glad, I launched this on store. Download PostPocket apps.apple.com/app/id667072... #BuildInPublic #iOSDev

Finally my app has crossed 50 ratings on App Store Next target is 100—lets go. #BuildInPublic #iOSDev
