5 Claude Code skills I run on every mobile app, before and after launch. ASO audits, Apple Search Ads keywords, App Store pre-submission checks, app icons, and more. 👉 https://youtu.be/mvfQGjQurAQ

Claude made this icon in 1 min, here's how: 1. Install the skill: "npx skills add https://github.com/code-with-beto/skills --skill app-icon" 2. prompt: "/app-icon let's create a minimalistic icon" 3. done! (works on android as well)

Something I've noticed lately: Devs are describing their stack as Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot... not React, React Native, not Swift, not Python. The AI tool became the identity. The framework became the implementation detail. Anyone else noticing this?

Here's a React Navigation v8 Cheat Sheet and everything you need to know about it 👇

I put a $5 price on a tool I gave away for free. 62 people paid anyway. QuickPush is a macOS app for testing push notifications and live activities. The source code is on GitHub. Free. Always will be. I put it on the Mac App Store anyway for $4.99 — just to see what would happen.

Having a lot of fun trying to level up my app demos 🧑‍🎨

Nowadays with AI it’s easy to sit back and let the agent do your work. Be careful. This is not a time to ease off the gas. This is the time to put MORE effort into what you do. Keep building. Keep shipping. Keep learning. Effort prevents entropy.

Most apps don't need authentication Auth hurts you in ways you don't expect: it adds friction to onboarding, makes App Store reviews harder, forces you to implement account deletion, and creates a whole layer of maintenance you didn't ask for You can always add it later. Ship without it first

Android is cool! Nobody talks about Android. So here's 🍌 Platano running on Android: text-to-image generation, image editing, multi-select, clean UI. All of it, working beautifully.
