Formerly grade school teacher, now iOS developer at Tibber. I tweet about what I’m learning and apps I’m building.

Holy shit, I got the job! 😳

Two and a half years ago I was a teacher discovering variables and constants. Starting the beginning of 2023 I’ll be a professional iOS developer! 😁

PV-Anlage und Speicher machen Thomas über einen Großteil des Jahres autark.💚⚡️ Mit dynamischem Tarif ist für ihn nun auch der Netzbezug so günstig wie möglich. Für ihn ist #tibber damit der letzte Baustein zur Kostenoptimierung. Hier geht’s zum Artikel: https://t.co/knwC4JChEz

@nygrensamuel Nä, har kommit ur svängen. Öppnar den här appen ytterst sällan numera 😅

[Johan Forsell @joforselldev]

Cool new tool for finding like minded people locally! Just me and @nygrensamuel so far in Sweden.

Where are my fellow #buildinpublic swedes!?

@azamsharp SwiftUI is so much faster it’s not even close. While it’s constantly improving there are still some complex things it can’t do, but you can always reach down into UIKit for those things so there’s really no reason to stick to largely UIKit.

@adamlyttleapps @MrSamPeth Does this affect ASO?

[Johan Forsell @joforselldev]

@No_Wham Huge! Congrats, hope you love it! 😊

[Johan Forsell @joforselldev]

Go support Axels awesome new app! 😊

[Johan Forsell @joforselldev]

@SebJVidal Hehe yeah I think that’s the reason this is possible. I just took the short cut 😅

[Johan Forsell @joforselldev]

Just decreased my internet costs by 30% by calling my ISP and just asking them to lower the price. Kinda feels like cheating 😅

[Johan Forsell @joforselldev]

@_chuckyc Reminds me of the Doctor Strange scene… “What mouth?”

[Johan Forsell @joforselldev]

@jeiting Yeah, it sucks that it’s needed at all…

[Johan Forsell @joforselldev]

DRM on digital books is such a head ache… just bought Abercrombie’s ‘The Trouble With Peace’ a second time to side step a bunch of bullshit with Adobes DRM software and different vendor locks and libraries.

Isn’t there a more frictionless way to go about this?

[Johan Forsell @joforselldev]

@filipsardjoski I don’t mind paying taxes, I’m enjoying the benefits of the Swedish system 😊 I was just taken aback with the fee that I wasn’t aware of 😥

[Johan Forsell @joforselldev]

Anyone experienced with making money from App Store as a hobby in Sweden?

I made 15000SEK in 2023, now I have to pay roughly 5000SEK in taxes and 5000SEK in fees (egenavgifter), so ultimately around a third goes in my pocket.

Is this standard? Am I missing something?

[Johan Forsell @joforselldev]

@Qw4z1 @esnssr Ooh, interesting! Thanks for the link 😊

[Johan Forsell @joforselldev]

@Qw4z1 Been toying with that thought, especially since it seems to keep growing, albeit slowly 😅

Can I use the 25k I put in as share capital somehow? I’m guessing the fees would apply regardless? What else is deductible, maybe the developer account fee and hosting fees?

[Johan Forsell @joforselldev]

@SebJVidal Thanks man ☺️ $1500 a year is not quite enough to live off still 😂 especially when I only get to keep a third.

But yeah pretty cool to see people keep finding value in my app!

[Johan Forsell @joforselldev]

@mikaela__caron It is! Figuring out SQL a little more has also been super interesting, with a use case that takes advantage of the relational parts 😊

Really makes me sad I didn’t know this back when I made my own app!

[Johan Forsell @joforselldev]

Docker compose is pretty cool actually.

[Johan Forsell @joforselldev]

@mikaela__caron I’ve chalked it up as ’too complex for me’ until now, but it’s not as gnarly as I thought!

Building something with NextJS and a PostgreSQL database and docker compose is just *mwah* 😁

[Johan Forsell @joforselldev]

If your Swift Vapor app is leaking memory and you can’t figure out why/where, I recommend trying out jemalloc. Still not sure what in the Vapor framework causes the leak but adding it to my Heroku dyno fixed it 🤩

Now suffering from backend hubris after managing this fix 😅
