Just tried new Kotlin/Native smallBinary option in Kotlin 2.2.20-Beta1.in project here (github.com/joreilly/Con...) and seeing over 20% reduction in size when building release version 🚀 btw remember to set following! kotlin.native.binary.smallBinary=true

My app page on the Google Play Store has been updated! 🥳 250 reviews and ranked in the 7th position for subscription keywords.

My biggest mistake was buying a yearly subscription to an AI model.

Build the entire website with Cursor - no own code written! resubs.app

The current ReSubs icon is too minimalistic and doesn't visualize the subscription well enough. Also, the color is too serious. I will change the icon to a wallet with a positive blue background color.

WOAH! 🎉🥳 This is the first time I have developed and released an iOS application. As an Android developer, I was never motivated to jump into the iOS ecosystem and build something. However, covering at least both mobile platforms is essential to grow a product. apps.apple.com/de/app/resub...

What are your thoughts on the new Google Material 3 Expressive?

Google has announced the new Material 3 Expressive, designed to express the emotion of the user.

I quit my job at KAYAK, even with an excellent salary, just to become a full-time indie developer. 🥳 Although the market timing isn’t perfect, this gives me more time to explore new opportunities to grow my apps.

The new back handling in CMP 1.8 looks smooth!

Writing almost entirely without Swift code is possible with the new CMP 1.8 library and other improved libraries. Only three Swift files are in the project: AppDelegate, ComposeView, and iOSApp. The app ReSubs doesn't feel native in all aspects, but it gets very close.

Compose for iOS is stable now! 🎉 blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2025/...

With the new Android Studio Cloud we can develop on any device such as iPad 🎉

Introducing a paywall during onboarding might seem like an obvious choice for monetization, but my recent experiment suggests otherwise. I ran an XP with a paywall on around 100,000 users. • Total Revenue: -13% • Purchase Revenue: +4.3% • Ad Revenue: -21% • Onboarding Closed: -9.7%

After adding 25+ translations in the Compose Resources, the Res imports in Kotlin aren't recognizable in AS anymore :(

Bug fixes and beta releases headline today's #JetpackReleaseNotes with releases of Compose 1.7.8, Fragment 1.8.6, Navigation 2.8.7, Paging 3.3.6, and Wear Compose 1.4.1 plus Room KMP's first beta release! developer.android.com/jetpack/andr...

Fleet offers intriguing UX and feature solutions but is deficient in other functionality. It proves helpful for KMP and iOS projects. Nevertheless, I find coding more efficient in Android Studio, and I hope they will further enhance iOS support in AS. blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2025/...

Exciting change for Kotlin Multiplatform devs: JetBrains Preview will work in Android Studio soon! youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-3...

Apps like Duolingo, Cat AI, and Waterlama have a similar onboarding structure that includes: - An intro page featuring - An explanation page with key features - A setup page with multiple sections - A notification prompt page - A rating prompt page - A paywall page at the end

Here is new tool to find Kotlin / KMP libraries! klibs.io

The project is written in #KotlinMultiplatform. Here are the top-used libraries: - Kotlin 2.0 - Kotlin Datetime - Kotlin Serialization - koin / koin annotations - Compose Multiplatform - coil - ktor - Room / SQLite - RevenCat - JacksonCSV - Firebase - Timber - Moko Permissions

Development hours that I spend for building a new Android app: Project setup - 15h Subscription list - 23h Subscription form - 28h Details page - 15h Templates page - 12h Settings page - 15h Paywall & monetarization - 16h Import CSV files - 11h Notification - 11h Currency - 5h → 160h for the MVP

Why you should develop mobile apps: 1. Unlimited scale Build the app once, and sell it multiple times in the store. You can reach almost anyone on the planet. ⬇️
