A bit longer than originally intended and posted with a 10-month delay, but I've written up some advice for people thinking about creating an indie app business.

What an exciting event hosted by @Setapp and @MacPaw! So thrilled to have been part of it and can’t wait for tomorrow! Many thanks to everyone on the panel and @appledsign for being an awesome moderator!

Marketing hat on today. Have I told you about my new app Sidecaster? It pairs will with @charlieMonroe's Downie app if you'd rather listen than watch.

I've been honored by @MacPaw, the company behind @Setapp, to be invited to a panel discussion at an event in San Francisco area on Jun 7.

Event is free to attend, though you need to register upfront as capacity is limited. Register here https://t.co/vrB41weZAt, come & meet up.

[Charlie Monroe @charlieMonroe]

@xiaohanmousheng Then the only solution is to make it a subscription - which is available via Setapp. It is not possible to provide free upgrades forever. This is how it's been for decades and I've included this information for years on my website (https://t.co/HGoNZxowMl).

[Charlie Monroe @charlieMonroe]

Permute 4 is here.🎉

Completely new UI. Drop Zones. Reworked trim & crop. Faster than ever.

[Charlie Monroe @charlieMonroe]

We have bad news and good news. The bad news is that Setapp Mobile is becoming thing of the past. The good news is that Downie for iOS has found a new home on @Onside_io!

It's available in the EU like Setapp Mobile was, but it's also available in Japan!

Permute 4 beta testing is here. Please 🙏 read the list of known issues and instructions on how to send feedback. Thank you! ❤️

[Charlie Monroe @charlieMonroe]

So... Permute 4... The works have begun. They've actually begun quite some time ago, but initially, just rebuilding the internals. With first UI implementations, I've decided to show you a sneak peek and answer some questions.

@wsedits01 [...] and is available on Setapp Mobile.

[Charlie Monroe @charlieMonroe]

@wsedits01 Please note that you've likely side-loaded this version from some shady website which is really not recommended. Downie also displayed non-EU users a big warning that it will be only available within EU via 3rd party marketplace (Setapp Mobile). It is still being developed [...]

@mhmdbaguss I have included instructions in my responses and a simple google search turns up e.g. https://t.co/3nA2RW2Y36

[Charlie Monroe @charlieMonroe]

@mhmdbaguss Please stop spamming me. I've responded to multiple of your reports, if you're not seeing my responses, check your spam folder.

[Charlie Monroe @charlieMonroe]

@mhmdbaguss Not really done as you ignored my request to include the original report text, but it shows that you've ignored warnings about the app running under Rosetta. Disable it and it will not crash.

[Charlie Monroe @charlieMonroe]

@mhmdbaguss […]copy out the text of the report into a text file and attach it to the report.

[Charlie Monroe @charlieMonroe]

@mhmdbaguss Then likely something is blocking access to my servers. Again, I can't provide support here. Open the support dialog using the support button in the main window and send me a report from there. If you cannot submit the crash report, expand the report in the crash reporter and[…]

[Charlie Monroe @charlieMonroe]

@opera Adding the Dock icon and restarting the Dock without my approval and thus de-minimizing dozens of windows is really rude. Please review this behavior of your installer.

[Charlie Monroe @charlieMonroe]

@ManinderSV So if it comes out in the next 12 months, it will likely be free. But again, I have no ETA on this yet.

[Charlie Monroe @charlieMonroe]

@ManinderSV [...] any upgrade pricing yet. If you take a look at previous upgrades, 50+% off and free for purchases within the past ~9-12 months.
