Indie App Developer Documenting His Journey Building „Spending Sensei” | Vinyl and Pokemon Cards Collector | Foodie

[Maciej Mejer @appsbeforenaps]

A couple of days ago, I finally released Spending Sensei, an app I've been working on for the past few months!

You can try it for yourself here: https://t.co/MjSgd2tQbb

It mimics the internal reasoning I use when considering unnecessary purchases

🟢 Tell the Sensei what you want to buy
🟢 Discuss the purchase with him
🟢 Get a buy/skip recommendation based on your answers

I'm incredibly proud of the app and would appreciate any feedback!

Did I just beat the world record for the fastest review? Took 6 minutes for my app to be approved 🚀

[Maciej Mejer @appsbeforenaps]

@seraleev I keep all my apps (unless there are some running costs). Had some random in-app purchases pop up from time to time on apps that I though were essentially dead

[Maciej Mejer @appsbeforenaps]

@pawelkarniej Well looks like you have some catching up to do 😂

[Maciej Mejer @appsbeforenaps]

The downloads for Zoney had stagnated, so time to take measures into my own hands 💪 first time running the advanced Apple Search Ads, let's see if it helps the app a bit

[Maciej Mejer @appsbeforenaps]

Genuine question to those not making any money (or barely any money) from their apps:

What keeps you going? 👈

[Maciej Mejer @appsbeforenaps]

Building a new app that sends ~18 images per request to a vision LLM.

gpt-4o-mini works but image tokens get brutal at that volume, almost 0.10 USD per call 🫠

Anyone have recommendations for vision models that handle multi-image workloads cost-efficiently? 🙏

[Maciej Mejer @appsbeforenaps]

@Thomas_Tao_1 Same! Users just know best

[Maciej Mejer @appsbeforenaps]

I decided to rework my time zone app Zoney after feedback from my users 🚀

I'm shocked by how much better the app is now. It just shows that listening to feedback is always the best thing you can do!

You can try the new version of Zoney yourself: https://t.co/UyciBrLg8x 👈

I'm pretty happy with how the new App Store screenshots for Zoney turned out 🧑‍🍳

You can compare them yourself: the left ones are old, and the right ones are for the new version. What do you think?

[Maciej Mejer @appsbeforenaps]

Thinking about launching a waitlist for my newest project. Any tips on how to properly market it when it’s live and get people to sign up?

[Maciej Mejer @appsbeforenaps]

@juliusilg Completely forgot about iMessage 😅 was thinking about SMS

[Maciej Mejer @appsbeforenaps]

What tool are you using for gathering user feedback and feature requests? 🤔

I want to incorporate it into my apps, but I'm not sure what to choose

[Maciej Mejer @appsbeforenaps]

@dorianborovina Share the recipe for that conversation!

[Maciej Mejer @appsbeforenaps]

@Kyriakos_Pelek Are you using anything specific for that?

[Maciej Mejer @appsbeforenaps]

@juliusilg Wouldn’t that cost the users a lot? Considering they might be all over the world

[Maciej Mejer @appsbeforenaps]

@bugless_bytes Send me the link whenever it’s finished! Would love to check it out

[Maciej Mejer @appsbeforenaps]

@TTrimoreau Switching between Gemini and Opus depending on the task

[Maciej Mejer @appsbeforenaps]

@theOtterDev The left one is definitely slicker

[Maciej Mejer @appsbeforenaps]

@koosharii That’s an awesome idea! Would love to hear how you managed to achieve that

[Maciej Mejer @appsbeforenaps]

@jesse_vermeulen Usually reading a book. Currently going through the Witcher series

[Maciej Mejer @appsbeforenaps]

Some time ago I built an iOS app to help with my own anxiety about leaving the stove on and the front door unlocked.

I recently gave the app's UI a much-needed facelift. If your brain plays tricks on you too, let me know what you think! 🛠️👇
