Missed to post a now page update on April 😬

Long weekend ahead 😊 going camping 🇮🇹

A German apple blog reviewed On This Day Rewind a few days ago, and checking the stats afterwards confirmed it - a real spike in downloads 🎉 Got me thinking: how do indie devs actually promote apps beyond launch? Any tips for keeping momentum going? All advice very welcome 🫶 #IndieDev #iOS

Big outcome: Do the right thing well. Big lesson: Do the right thing poorly. Big risk: Do the wrong thing well. -- James Clear #RandomQuote

I thought I would use Craft more with the release of the API, in fact I do - from no usage to a bit of usage. But @draftsapp.bsky.social is just my happy place for note taking 🙌🏽

Using #OnThisDay to revisit one of the coolest roadtrips and hikes you can do as nature lover and Apple fan - visiting Yosemite national park 3 years ago

8th straight year with an anniversary badge in the @draftsapp.bsky.social forum. Not 100% sure anymore but I would bet that it was launched together with Drafts 5 around April 2018. Since then it's definitely one of my most visited forums 🫶

It's so frustrating that it's not possible to filter the deleted images folder in Photos for images not deleted by another member of the shared library 😭

On This Day 1.1 is out! 🎉 Open Photos searches with a companion shortcut, hide screenshots, plus (faster) image loading from further in the past and a bunch of bug fixes. Thanks for all the 1.0 feedback — keep it coming! 😊 #indieDev #iOS apps.apple.com/us/app/on-th...

On This Day 1.1 is submitted for review 😊 If no issues are found by the beta testers and App Review approves it I hope to release it this week.

On This Day: My New Favorite Way to Revisit Old Photos https://www.macstories.net/reviews/on-this-day-my-new-favorite-way-to-revisit-old-photos/

If you’re a sucker for revisiting old photos like me, On This Day is an app worth checking out. It resurfaces pictures you took on this day in past years, and I’m very much into it. My review on MacStories: www.macstories.net/reviews/on-t...

I launched my first iOS app! 🚀 On This Day Rewind shows you photos and videos from today's date in past years. Widgets, reminders, cleanup, and sharing features included - fully on device. 📲 apps.apple.com/us/app/on-th... A boost would mean a lot! #IndieApp #iOS #Photography #OnThisDay

Can't believe it's finally approved 😍 Mac version is missing but hope to launch soon - still some preparations to be done.

Apple Music on the Web lets you easily copy an embed code (iframe) to show that playlist on a website 😊 tempted to create a subpage on my website and embed a few playlists there..

"It was a poor night's sleep last night" I guess that might be due to a 2+ hr interruption with our toddler 😴

#️⃣ Using Claude Cowork to Write Drafts Actions I setup Claude Cowork to let me describe a @draftsapp.bsky.social action on my iPhone, Claude writes the script on my Mac, and iCloud syncs it everywhere. Here's how I set... https://flohgro.com/blog/using-claude-cowork-to-write-drafts-actions/

Font change to Sometype Mono on the blog, in Drafts,... quite happy with it so far 😊

Inspired by the Bookworm Podcast I'll started reading "The Coaching Habit" by Michael Bungay Stainer 🔗 https://books.apple.com/de/book/the-coaching-habit-say-less-ask-more-change-the-way/id1085532984?l=en-GB

Any good recommendations to fix broken contacts app sync (iCloud?) The problem is my Mac, that's for sure but e.g. I deleted duplicates on the iPhone multiple times and they keep coming back..

Made some good progress again with #OnThisDay with the latest TestFlight. Polishing time for releasing it definitely started. Would love to hear some feedback of crucial things that are still missing or what you really enjoy about it to summarize a few things for the release 😊

Since my little iCloud / fileproviderd issue where I reconnected Apple Account on macOS I have issues with the Contacts stored in iCloud. There are so many duplicates and they keep coming back 😬 deleting them with some helper apps helps temporarily but until now this always reappeared.

Some days go well, others don't. A leaking pipe in the basement was definitely not part of the plan.

Designing and composing an icon is a lot more difficult than I thought. 😶‍🌫️

Long weekend ahead 🙌🏽
