When my brain tries to steal my focus for a “more important” task I:
- ✍️ write in down
- ☑️ continue with initial task ‘til done
- 📋 check the list & pick next task

The struggle comes if I uncover a task that will affect all current/future projects. That’s a harder sell. Focus theft successful.

I was about to do some web research on best practices for requesting device permissions (camera, mic & storage) from users. But then in dawned on me... I can just delete industry-leading apps from my phone, re-install, and learn. 🤙

Solopreneurship Update 🚀 it's been three months since launch, here are today's stats: 7.7K downloads (+110%), 22 subscribers (-12%), $57 MRR (-21%). As is now tradition, here are my 5 reflexions for the month... 🧵

Quick thoughts on @swmansion.com .com results 🤩
- @expo.dev slaying & expo-router growth is obscene
- <30% using InApp Purchases (who else is using @revenuecat.com)
- Brazil putting LATAM on the map 🙌 we should do better!
- OK fine, I'll try Zustand for state management! Too lightweight not to 🤷‍♂️

A live view of me pushing, merging and approving PRs in my solo-app's repo

aww shucks, I was so pumped for the @revenuecat.com paywalls v2 but its an iOS SDK only (for now)! Looks awesome, hopefully support for RN + Expo coming soon 🤞

Solopreneurship Update 🚀 it's been now 2 months since I launched my React Native + Expo app. I'm now at 3,550 downloads (+123%), 25 subscribers (+13%), and $73 (-6%) MRR. For any fellow beginner, here are another 5 nuggets that I picked up during the last 30-ish days... 🧵

Aspiring indie mobile devs 🚀 A month ago I solo-launched my first React Native + Expo app and hit 1,590 downloads, 22 subscribers, and $78 MRR. Nothing to drool over but here are a handful of things I learned along the way, hope it helps... 🧵

one day we'll look back and reminisce about the time when #LLM services had no ads. The "good old days" of #ai is NOW

aww my first bluesky outage. They grow so fast 🥲

I heard that AppStore submission can be a PITA. My iOS app submission was returned to me twice now, with very concise and clear notes. I've fixed the issues, response time has been < 24h. 🤞 3rd time's a charm? Kudos to the review team at Apple and don't believe everything you read on the internet 😅

I just submitted my first ever app to Apple 🎉 Google, you're next! I'll be writing a post of the do's and don'ts for first-time solo-mobile-devs. Once they're both in their respective app-stores, that is... don't wanna count my chickens before they hatch 🐣

@expo.dev sdk 52 is so dope! I’m most excited about the expo-camera upgrades for my next #expo #reactnative project, thanks team!

ai-powered IDEs might be the single best thing to ever happen to #indiehacking. Solopreneurs and small teams have been unleashed

Nuclear power is being revived by big tech, but not for flying cars and space travel like we saw in the movies. We just need it badly for #ai and A/C 🤖🌡️

hybrid retailers should make commission codes for online checkouts standard. e.g. I often view items in-store but end up buying online because I want a specific color or configuration. I'd love to make sure the people who helped out get their credit!
