Last year I shipped my first app.
It wasn’t big, but it taught me one thing: speed matters.
This year I’m shipping one app every 2 weeks, or at least 22 apps by the end of 2026.
Small team. Day jobs. Nights only.

Week 2 of growing my app with Tiktok slideshows:
- 513k views
- 1023 appstore impressions
- 114 downloads
- $196 and 8 trials still active
i think i really hacked these hooks
more and more slideshows hit 10k+ views
still need to work on conversion though as you see
nocnt 1.0.3 went to review.
Added a mascot (green heart, named Elsa, after my dog). Rewrote onboarding using feedback from other indies. Redid the screenshots, they're worse looking but actually show what the app does now.
Also started warming up tiktok account for it.
Found ChatGPT as a traffic source in App Referrers for one of our apps. Sep 14-18, App Store Connect shows 25 impressions, 15 installs. Tiny sample, five days only. But for a small app that's already noticeable.
I've built a better version of fastlane for our team in a couple of days. Getting all these superpowers for 200$ (Claude Max subscription) is crazy.
Still can't believe chatgpt brings, at least, 3 new users to our new app without me doing anything for that.
Used fastlane for some time. Didn't really like the part the it is overpriced, also missing some of the features I need. Decided to build my own. Shall i open source it once im done and find it to be useful in my workflow?
It is crazy how great codex with voice mode is. Was doing some backend work for a new project while exercising 🥹
