Submitted my #Shipaton entry, and a new version for my app in the App Store.

The most recent version Minder introduces an onboarding flow and features Mindy, a sea turtle friend who brightens as you stay consistent with your Minders.

The idea is to have a score that’s reflected in the mascot’s mood.

More consistency = Better score.

Here are the moods I have in mind. What do you think?

I am mainly interested in the order of the states. Should "meditating" come after "awake"?

Minder is on the App Store, and this is just the beginning!

I put a lot of work in the random notifications algorithm.

Now it’s time to add personality, and I would love your feedback! 🧵

Just submitted my app for review! 💖

Next up I will add stats and the mascot, but I need to have the app store link ready for the #Shipaton 🤞

I would love your feedback. I have a growing list of improvements but the core functionality is already there 💖

The very first version of Minder is now on TestFlight 🎉

It nudges you with mindful random reminders through the day. Some examples of Minders you can create:

- Where’s my attention right now?
- Drink some water
- What am I grateful for right now?

Building apps is more than coding, it’s planning for the future.

Last week I:

📌 Processed 20+ user insights
💰 Estimated my app's value ($30–40K 👀)
🤖 Explored possible SwiftData models with help of AI

I’m sharing all the lessons on YouTube 🧵

@apel_mahmod Thank you, Mohammad! 💪

[Jorge Calle @atrumgeost]

The flaws only showed up once I put Minder (the app I am building) in front of people. User testing interviews changed how I’ll launch this app. Full story in 🧵

@mcflyDev Cool! I think an app wins a lot of personality with a mascot 💪

Hey #Shipaton! If you are also working on your first iOS app, be sure everything is set and ready with your Apple Dev. account.

After reading the newsletter #72 from Sebastian Röhl. I decided to prioritize setting up everything related to subscription and enrollment.

[Jorge Calle @atrumgeost]

Hey #Shipaton and #BuildInPublic folks! Let's connect!

Raise your hand if you are sharing your journey so I can follow!

I'll start sharing mine in the next days 🔥

[Jorge Calle @atrumgeost]

"Intentional Imperfection" keeps coming to me as a reminder to accept when other things in life need to arise. The sooner I make peace with the present the more energy I will have to catch up.
