Sad truth If you are not running an A/B screenshot test. If you are not running a paywall or an onboarding A/B test. You should not work on new features.

I use the Things app to track my personal tasks. However, I often feel the need for a better app to simplify my personal life. I need: Things + house cleaning tracker + maintenance tracker + basic habit tracker. For some time, I have had an idea to try to build this app myself.

I think the iOS beta version will be n times stable if Apple developers used the same API. Explain why my tabViewBottomAccessoryPlacement is not working, but Apple Podcast has a working version.

I think it's time to rethink my transcription app. SpeechAnalyzer should be able to replace the current Whisper real-time transcription logic. SwiftUI rich text editor will also make usage of RichTextKit redundant.

Fun fact. OpenAI API has violence limits. If your user is particularly cruel, you will receive a warning email from OpenAI and may even face suspension.

I was searching for a new mouse because my Master Mx scroll wheel was not spinning correctly. As a last resort, I disassembled and cleaned it. Now, the mouse feels brand new.

Then I feel burned out. I do the following: - Rest until I feel guilty, and then a little more. - Create a possible task list for my life. - Start with the smallest and easiest tasks. - Remind myself that I only need to take one small step to move forward. - Rest.

Apple Search Ads Basic was trash on the product launch day. Now I see the best ROI from this source. The only problem is that it's not scaling up, and I don't get a lot of traffic.

Here are my thoughts on the changes to the App Store Guidelines. The platform algorithm's primary goal is to earn as much as possible. So, cutting Apple out should result in smaller visibility in the App Store. As an indie dev living from organic downloads, I will wait and see.

I regularly check the progress of this neovim plugin journey to replace Xcode. I'm amazed at how far it's jumped forward. All day worked and turned Xcode only for Asset management. This time, I will stay longer with Neovim.

Opening a public test for my Text-based RPG game with LLM as a game master. I had a lot of fun building this app/game, and I was surprised at how good LLM is in story building.
