Remember it.
Make each day count!

New grid widget for "Memento Mori: Stoic Calendar" ๐
(soon published)
These 3 colors are not the same
Colors on iOS might be a bit confusing.
Especially since they change based on light/dark mode too
Here's a helpful list with:
- all colors
- all variations (light/dark modes)
- iOS + macOS colors (UIKit + AppKit)

Made a design for Google Play screenshots in Figma.
Play Store screenshot tips (for devs without design experience, like me lol).
1. Look at successful app screenshots (eg. Google's apps, Spotify, Instagram).
2. Copy layout (most big apps are very simple)
@fadeone_x It's true. I'm an Android user and I don't like to pay๐
Since I don't have a personal Mac I can't publish to the App Store so I'll stay on Play Store.
But this app isn't to make money anyway, so I don't worry about it too much
Anyone building Android apps knows this feeling! ๐คฉ
With feedback from multiple users, finally released the 7th update for my app.
It's come a long way ๐ฅน

This code is easy.
3 buttons, in this order:
1. "No Role"
2. "Cancel"
3. "Destructive"
Wrong!
SwiftUI button roles affect more than you might think (not only order).
Also: check out why macOS is politically correct compared to SwiftUI๐ต๏ธ

Popular opinion: buttons without style look boring
So here's how to style them in SwiftUI
And unexpected behaviors on iOS/macOS
Taylor Swift also participated in writing this article (an expert in personal style, unlike me)

Drawing by hand ideas for a logo.
Not what I expected from building apps๐
In school I hated drawing (bc i was pretty bad, still am bad lol)
But now I enjoy it (coming up with ideas) ๐

Skill that indie-hackers need
What others think:
- coding
- marketing
What builders actually need:
- coding
- marketing
- UI/UX design (photoshop, Figma)
- QA (testing)
- legal research (regulations, app store rules)
- ASO/SEO
- prompting (latest addition)
Extra: lots of soft-skills (time management, prioritization, networking, finding motivation, staying consistent, ...)
I'm currently learning vector graphics (for logo design, cause AI is pretty shitty at that).
Which skill are you learning lately?
Most dev blogs are pretty plain.
So I made one that's funnier, playful (with memes and such).
It makes learning more entertaining (especially for Gen Z ๐)
Worst case: it's cringe (but that's also part of its goal) https://t.co/TKDTK954NY
First post (tomorrow) sneak-peek:
"Learn how to open the door of your Tesla car. (Or lose your savings in the crypto market)."
1. User writes about a bug
2. Fix it in 5 minutes
3. Submit to Play Store
4. Bam! 20 minutes later it's live (thanks to Play Store's fast review process)
Do they even review the apps or how does it get approved so fast? ๐
