Building, buying, and growing a portfolio of apps. Bootstrapped and staying indie as long as I can.

And just replaced another site, this time was on Webflow. That was easier, they let me export the code with a one-time payment.

These are small costs but they add up. Plus I can point Claude/codex at the files now and they'll change what I need. Couldn't do that before.

Just had Claude pull down my app’s Wordpress based site and deploy it to cloudflare pages.

1) Saves me $$/mo and
2) more importantly, now I can have the robots manage it since it’s just text files

Switching my other app’s webflow-based site next

@rjonesy @Flighty Way to force the issue ha

@RevenueCat @katedeyneka Hey @RevenueCat my feet are pretty cold over here

[Erik Stromlund @estromlund]

@MattCowlin @trust_mrr @marclou Is there other communication? Because that message says that something isn’t filled out or all signatures and dates aren’t present.

[Erik Stromlund @estromlund]

@JordanMorgan10 @ekurutepe Congrats @ekurutepe and @JordanMorgan10!

[Engin Kurutepe 🦥 @ekurutepe]

Thinking about acquiring a native Android app. Ideally around 10-20k downloads a month and with In-App-Purchases.

Sharing is caring…

[Erik Stromlund @estromlund]

@VicVijayakumar @DmytroKrasun You can check the carrier and line type if you want to pay a few cents per number. Could filter out mobile numbers at least (but also false positives...)

[Erik Stromlund @estromlund]

@ankurnagpal Would love to see!

[Erik Stromlund @estromlund]

@alpennec @hikurtguenther @DonnyWals @MattCowlin Ok, I think I overthought this haha

Oh hey, thanks @RevenueCat!

[Erik Stromlund @estromlund]

Super handy for customer support and use it all the time on my app that's not using RC. An extra week or month free goes a long way, especially for "I forgot about my trial, can I get another?" 🤪

I also definitely haven't used it to incentivize reviews.

@jeiting @ekurutepe any chance we can see this on RC sometime soon?

[Axel Le Pennec @alpennec]

TIL we can extend the renewal date for auto-renewable subscriptions.

Primarily to compensate active subscribers for service interruptions like an outage, a canceled event or an interruption to a live streamed event...

... or to offer up to 3 months for Black Friday!

Genius 🤩

*Probably not happening by the end of the year

But still looking to talk with anyone looking for a nice landing for their iOS app. I promise a nice loving home and a quick, far process 😀

[Erik Stromlund @estromlund]

👋 I'm looking to acquire a mobile app by the end of the year. Ideally 10k+ MRR, at least a year old, and not a game. For the right app, can move very quickly.

DM me with what you've got!

[Erik Stromlund @estromlund]

@DonnyWals @MattCowlin Looks like it's just quickly scheduling a notification when the app terminates (using some background tasks to buy extra wiggle room)

[Erik Stromlund @estromlund]

@MattCowlin I didn't know I'd need to go down this rabbit hole today 😁 but here are the logs starting with the termination. Looks like the notification is added to the queue a bit after, not before. See "A22F-FEDB" in line 199

@MattCowlin Haven't looked into this but I have a bluetooth meat thermometer (Meater) and that app does it too. Perhaps something in the bluetooth teardown code still has a moment to fire it off?

[Erik Stromlund @estromlund]

@ekurutepe to be honest I thought about this a lot while drafting this tweet haha. not sure how i landed there.

[Erik Stromlund @estromlund]

Lol claude thought they could edit the Xcode project before I had to rescue them. cute
