Software engineer building indie apps: 🎞️ for film photographers, 💿 for vinyl collectors, 📈 for app makers.

i make 3 apps on my own from paris.

pellica for film photographers. sleevewise for vinyl collectors. aso gauge for app makers.

the third one exists because the first one kept getting lost in app store search.

posting what works and what doesn't, with real numbers

my vinyl app has been "waiting for review" on the app store since october 12.

23 days. not in review, not rejected. just waiting.

the beta is open in the meantime, iphone and android: https://t.co/Y5Wss3Fez2

@pcshipp 0 sales at 110 downloads isn't a verdict yet: freemium apps often turn 1–2% of downloads into payers.

Before marketing, check how many of the 110 ever saw your paywall. On my film app, 92% of free users never hit a limit, so almost nobody saw it.

AI rewrites your name, subtitle and keywords from your measured ranks. Code checks every line before you see it:

- over the character limit
- a competitor's name in your keywords
- your brand dropped
- a word twice

Nothing goes to App Store Connect until you apply it. #iOSDev
