@notmiramurati @ProductHunt Launch did not go super well to be honest.
But: one person has signed up for a monthly sub and purchased screen time two times.

[Alex König @axk0ng]

Would you pay for more screen time?
That is the question my app TapToll asks.
Launched today on @ProductHunt : https://t.co/dMfCVqwAlb

[Alex König @axk0ng]

@SaidAitmbarek @MicroLaunchHQ Will check that out!

[Alex König @axk0ng]

Let me know what you think.

[Alex König @axk0ng]

Check it out on:
ProductHunt: https://t.co/dMfCVqwAlb
The App Store: https://t.co/DCiJVzwtzQ
Or the website: https://t.co/aSh0DXqt1Y

One of the major signs of LLMs not having consciousness for me is that they seem oblivious to the fact that they exist.
Even Fable or GPT-5.6 will tell you that a task is going to take 6 weeks to implement with two engineers.
And then they implement it in 2 hours 🫠

Obviously replied to the initial message regarding the rejection. Sent a follow up as well and asked for support on this as well. Nothing.
Feels like Franz Kafka

[Alex König @axk0ng]

Does someone know how to escalate an app review that is blocked for bogus reasons at apple?
My app is silent live in the store. Wanted to fix one last thing before launch. App got rejected after the first two versions got accepted.
Radio silence for 36 hours from apple now.

@coreyhainesco If these are as good as your marketing skills, it is going to be insane.

[Alex König @axk0ng]

@marclou Hope to get there this week as well.
Keep it up!

[Alex König @axk0ng]

So companies tell their employees right now to just trust AI and let it rip, while they do not trust their own employees with e.g. home office or simply giving them more leeway in doing their jobs.
Really makes you think...

[Alex König @axk0ng]

@egorka I understand that. It does not work like that for everyone apparently

[Alex König @axk0ng]

Building an iOS app right now. That is the easy part.
Hard part: EU paperwork. Lost a few days on clearing that DSA shit. I thought this was for big tech. Apparently I am big tech.
Thanks to Neil from dev support for clearing this thing. Legend.

[Alex König @axk0ng]

@egorka Good for you. You can find many reports, that a few years ago Apple was rather soft about this, but these days, they are not and the process can get lengthy.

[Alex König @axk0ng]

@egorka Nope. Apple just rejected the first document I sent them to prove my address for the DSA. They also do not tell you that they need extra info. Only if you ask them.
What makes you think I am overcomplicating?

[Alex König @axk0ng]

@mitsuhiko Funny thing: the CDU/CSU in Germany told the public they were against it and then went to push this anyway.

[Alex König @axk0ng]

@marclou wtf?!?
That does not even make sense.

@thekitze Insane that Canada would have worse healthcare than the US.
