IOS DEVS ATTENTION ‼️

if you ship iOS apps, which part of the App Store listing do you hate doing the most: screenshots, keywords or the description?
I built a Mac app for one of them and I'm curious if I picked the right one

[Danylo Hodlevskyi @hodlevd]

@kushmergedeck Yes, of course it sends a notification
it can be either a phone haptic feedback or a pleasant "beep" sound, like in Tesla cars :)
It works even when the app isn't active

@pcshipp Congrats! How did you manage to achieve such results in X?

[Danylo Hodlevskyi @hodlevd]

I miss iOS development 🫂

these photo are from October 2025, before vibecoding became the default for every developer. back then AI gave me a few snippets and I wrote the rest myself, and the grass was greener

would you go back to coding without AI, or never give it up?

asked three AIs for a cat sleeping on a windowsill in the rain, one try each. Claude Sonnet 5, Sonnet 5.5 and Opus 5.5.
which of these three is the best?

[Danylo Hodlevskyi @hodlevd]

ChatGPT clearly has far more users who don't pay for a subscription; literally every mom has the app on her smartphone, and the free limits are more than enough for them.
Claude, on the other hand, is a more professional project with many paying users. To be fair, you can't really do much on Claude without a subscription :)

@kedytcom In my opinion, ASO is a very complex process that requires a lot of attention to achieve results, but if you succeed, the results will be incredible

What kind of app are you building?

[Danylo Hodlevskyi @hodlevd]

@nitishkmrk So smooth
Love it!

[Danylo Hodlevskyi @hodlevd]

Been playing with the iPhone Duo simulator 👐
Half folded it already looks like a laptop, so I made it one
Terminal on top, keyboard on the bottom. It boots as you open the lid.

Started as a toy, but now I keep wondering what this pose is
actually good for in a real app
What would you put down there?

[Danylo Hodlevskyi @hodlevd]

@CristianRus4 You can now rebuild Duolingo and call it Sololingo

[Danylo Hodlevskyi @hodlevd]

Thanks, I’ll try!

@jullerino I think this is a great tool for AppStore screenshots :)
