Im looking for an iOS developer to hire. I have immediate contract work that can turn into full-time.

Launched my app solo exactly 1 month ago.
3k downloads.

Swift & SwiftUI, CoreLocation, AVFoundation, Firebase SDK, Xcode proficiency

If you're interested my DMs are open.

Sorry if this is vague.. new at this.

[Wim @wimlabsdev]

Update from first TikTok on an account with 3 followers ( now 14 followers)

26k views
60 comments (+replies)
300 shares
500 saves

Which led to:
5k App Store impression
200+ downloads
5.49% conversion

AND this is without linking the app 🤯
People watched the TikTok, left and opened App Store, searched App Store, then tapped. Unreal. Users in comments researched and found the app and commented (then I confirmed in replies)

Marketing is like golf. It’s hard. Sometimes you get lucky. And the feeling of success gets you hooked.

1st TikTok shared last night on an account with literally 4 followers.

How many app downloads would you expect from this?

[Wim @wimlabsdev]

Took me 2 builds (failed) and a few messages to get approved… and two days. Submitted Friday, approved Sunday. Apple comms were great

[Wim @wimlabsdev]

Learning a lot

[Wim @wimlabsdev]

Built a complete iOS app and it only cost me $150.
Submitted to the App Store and now waiting!

The best part was LEARNING along the way.

Biggest challenge was instructing Claude to implement design. I quickly learned about adding assets to Xcode which made it way easier.

The true unlock was prompting Claude to teach me how to prompt better. I would ask Claude if it understand what I was trying to build per feature / per task. Claude would output a response and if it was correct, I would say "Yes! Tell me the most optimal and efficient way to describe this? What are the correct terms you're looking for? How could i have instructed you better?" And I quickly learned to talk design - components, frames, pixels, alignment, padding, heading, subheading etc..

I have two really strong feelings right now.
1. Proud of myself I built something and learned so much
2. Feel like I can build so much more now.

@jiratickets let's talk about it

[Wim @wimlabsdev]

@_iagomaciel Awesome Iago! Can’t wait to try it out.

[Wim @wimlabsdev]

Obsessed.

[Wim @wimlabsdev]

Can someone tell me how I can get claude code to implement designs from figma?

Has anyone found a legit helpful youtube video? This will be an unlock for me.
