I officially declare, I was wrong. I was never a fan of having a paywall on the onboarding But man, does it convert... I currently make more purchases during the onboarding than later. This is so counter intuitive in my opinion but take this as a sign to test it yourself!

Underrated SwiftUI modifier of the week: matchedGeometryEffect. This animation would take all day using UIKit, regardless of the subviews, it just morphs nicely.

Can anyone beat Germany 🇩🇪? I have to give 40-50% of my revenue to the gov. Sounds excessive imho. Any country that makes it even harder for indie devs? I feel like Germany is really not made for indies 😔

Time flies.. My first year on my journey to becoming an indie dev just came to an end. I made 4 apps, a course* and ended up totaling $11.5k in revenue. Thanks everyone that made this journey so enjoyable. Really loving this #buildinpublic community ♥️ Here's to year #2 🥂

Still can't believe Mindr reached #4 on the German App Store 😱 Did some other countries improve as well, who got top 10 for me? ♥️
