I blogged for the first time in 2 years! It's about setting up remote syslog from Unraid to @betterstack.com. Turns out it's easy, but I didn't find any info online, so I'm contributing what I learned. shortway.io/unraid-remot...

Check out some of the design decisions we took when building our KMP SDK 👇

Friday evenings are for web development! I'm migrating kipavista.com from Shopify to @astro.build + Stripe, because the revenue just isn't there to justify the Shopify fee. And also because it gives me an excuse to play with Astro again!

Don't build an Android app. Build your app as a plain JVM (or KMP) app, and only interact with the Android framework at the edges.

Making native SDKs Multiplatform at RevenueCat by @jay.shortway.io!

Could this be the one navigation library to rule them all?

Oh the collective engineering hours spent going back and forth on this topic. This should be the reference solution 👇

In case you missed it, check out the recording of this Talking Kotlin episode! 🎙️ @sebi.io and @zsmb.co chat with @jay.shortway.io, author of RevenueCat’s KMP SDK for in-app purchases, about building Kotlin Multiplatform libraries. 👀 Watch it now: youtu.be/zWNAjU-UpSY?...

I just published a new open-source project, Cat Paywall Compose! 🐈 Cat Paywall Compose shows you how to build a paywall for Google Play's billing system using RevenueCat's Android SDK and Jetpack Compose. github.com/RevenueCat/c...

I was recently invited on the official Talking Kotlin podcast to talk about adapting native libraries for KMP! 😄 You can check it out here 👇 youtu.be/zWNAjU-UpSY

We've just added Paywalls v2 support to Flutter as well!

We just launched our server-driven Compose/SwiftUI Paywalls for Android, Kotlin Multiplatform and React Native! It's so fresh, we haven't even updated our docs yet. github.com/RevenueCat/p...

We were like "what if figma but instantly deployed natively as SwiftUI and (very very soon) Compose?"

Finally set my domain as bsky handle 🤩

Happy new compute credits!

Been doing so much server driven Compose and SwiftUI lately, I barely remember how to write UI code the straightforward way. 😅

Still wild to realize that the code I write ends up in the ChatGPT app 🤯

We shipped a thing! Congrats to the team for putting up with my SwiftUI skills 👇

From "shall we support gradient colors for text?" to "✅ implemented" in about an hour, in both Compose and SwiftUI. Modern UI toolkits are amazing.

👋 I created a starter pack of all RevenueCats on Bluesky. Follow if you want us to help you make more money with your app 😀 go.bsky.app/2ZgQU4e

PSA: the exceptions you throw are part of your public API. So a change like this one is breaking, and requires a major version bump: cs.android.com/androidx/pla...

One of my favorite things about Compose is how well its various concepts are modeled. E.g., Easing models (surprise) easing functions. Typically used for animations, but completely decoupled from that concept so they can be used for gradients just as well. That's exactly how they're used in Haze 👇

This is great! Just followed a bunch of fellow KMPeeps 👇

This is very cool! I often default to writing parameterized tests. Until now that meant manual for-loops and print statements in Kotlin Multiplatform. Excited to migrate to burst!

If you were waiting for Compose Multiplatform 1.7.0 in purchases-kmp, then wait no longer! github.com/RevenueCat/p...

Whoa whoa whoa

Hi everyone and welcome to my RevenueCat offsite swag haul!

Personal news: I'm beyond proud to share that I have joined RevenueCat! I'll be working on all the mobile SDKs. So devs: watch your wallet... cause I'll be helping you make more money!

Working with and refactoring legacy code truly is a form of art. Requires its own set of skills that are not typically acquired in other areas of software engineering. Definitely learned to appreciate that over the years!

Compose Multiplatform appreciation post. It's such a great catalyst for us Android developers. You can use your existing Kotlin & Compose skills and build completely new products, for every platform out there.

Spent the last few days setting up a backup server in a pull configuration with restic (through resticprofile). Since restic's primary use case is a push config, it required some tinkering, but I'm quite happy with how it turned out! Client machines don't need to worry about backups at all.

Oh well hello ConcurrentModificationException, it's been a while!

Integrated RevenueCat Paywalls into Feedo to cook something up for Black Friday. Such a breeze! Thanks to the dev team for making it Compose-first! So many vendors act like Compose doesn't exist when shipping UI libraries.

I just released Feedo v1! 🎉 Free-trial codes in the thread! 👀 I'd like to thank every tester and early adopter for your invaluable feedback, which has allowed me to squash many bugs. 🙏 Want to read your newsletters in peace too? Download now: play.google.com/store/apps/d...
