SwiftUI in 2026 is all about cleaner APIs, better document handling, smarter toolbars, and improved interactions.

Save it for later!

One of the most crucial factors for app growth is nailing your keywords and screenshots.

Ranking for a single, high-competition keyword is often extremely difficult. That’s why long-tail keywords are the real winners.

China is a huge market and my third-largest source of consistent monthly revenue. This holiday season, I started running several paid promotions targeting the Chinese + Asian market. Downloads have skyrocketed in the last 15 days, and I’m hopeful this growth will continue.

Since many people commit to new habits in December and January, I’ve made some big updates to HabitEase. The app now includes monthly and weekly views for all habit display modes.

Want to be an iOS developer?

Forget about needing
- A decent Mac
- Xcode
- an iPhone to test your app.

What you really need is:
- The latest $8.5K MacBook Pro M3 Max 16-Core Chip
- Apple Watch Ultra 2 (for measuring the build time)
- An iPad Pro 13 M4 (for brainstorming, of course)
- iPhone 16 Pro (for testing & because anything less is just slow)
- Airpods Max (for focus work)
- Dual Monitor. (More is better)
- Standing Desk.
- Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboards.
- Ergonomic Mouse.
- 135 other accessories.

Follow me for more pro tips like this, and together we can stay fully broke until retirement!

Don’t be fooled

Indie hacking isn’t gone

The influx of fake MRR posts and grifters are a signal that things are going mainstream

Buckle up and start building your personal brand

It’s going to be fun ride

Lots of awesome swag and gifts from the SwiftLeeds conference.

How can you provide a temporary discount(e.g., 50%) to new users on your iOS app’s subscription or lifetime purchase?

Having a good understanding of basic algorithms is essential for both technical interviews and day-to-day tasks. It's okay if you're not into competitive programming or solving DSA problems regularly, as most of these concepts aren't heavily used in typical work. However, it's important to be familiar with fundamental algorithms and comfortable working with different types of data. I recently read an article by Majid Jabrayilov that covers a few basics, and I recommend checking it out, along with the Swift Algorithm GitHub repository for more insights.

Last month was wild! After updating the screenshots and adding new features, I saw nearly 5 times more downloads compared to the previous month. Now, the Accounting app has a major update with a new event added to the AppStore: 'Get More Done With Less Work.'

@BigMtnStudio Nice one :)

I spent a few hundred Euros to update the app store preview images and custom habit icons. Here's what happened:

It has worked well so far.

- The number of people looking at the app page went up by 34%.
- Downloads increased by 19%.
- More people decided to buy the app, and subscriptions increased by 14%.

Having good previews is important because people decide quickly whether to download an app or not.
