I will happily use this opportunity to plug @takeoneapp, my modular clapperboard app — with drag & drop editing, and PencilKit drawing —, which was released to the App Store this week 😄 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/take-one/id1586051943

César Pinto Castillo@stroughtonsmith @takeoneapp @fosiaDesign We need this next time we record a YouTube video. Using a book as clapper wasn’t the best idea 😄
Oliver Conzen@stroughtonsmith Dont forget to add your app store link to the profile of @takeoneapp

Daniel Brierton@JPEGuin Any plans to add other racing series? I’d specifically love to see F2, F3, F1 Academy, Formula E and Extreme E
Daniel 🏳️🌈 Jilg 
@JPEGuin @stroughtonsmith oh damn this is cool! Downloading now
@daniel Excited for you to try it!
Chris Free@daniel @JPEGuin @stroughtonsmith damn this is good! My first app, @nextGP has some catching up to do.
Dave@JPEGuin @stroughtonsmith this is fantastic! I’d been slowly chipping away at a simple app for myself to get some of this info easily accessible on my phone because it’s something I’ve wanted so much. This is so much more than I had ever envisioned and it all looks really well done. Thanks for making this!
@DaveBarry That's so incredibly kind, thank you!
Rob Mayoff@JPEGuin Am I right in thinking there’s supposed to be live data when you have Pro? Kinda looks like the app thinks the session is already over, though the quoted time suggests FP3 hasn’t started yet when it has. I’m guessing a good ol’ time zone bug? 😅
Joe Muscara/Joe Stone@JPEGuin very cool app! I appreciate that you don’t show session results without me digging into them, as I usually watch on delay. However, on iPad (I have mini 6), the map doesn’t rotate to the track properly. Instead, it’s hidden behind the lower pane

Nico Reese@stroughtonsmith Just added iCloud sync to my app Gamery last week, which was harder than expected with Core Data, but now it's ready for iPad support which is also coming soon. It’s aiming to be the most beautiful video game collection app and feel like Apple could have made it.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gamery-game-tracker/id1607763458
Gamery - Game Tracker
Introducing Gamery, the ultimate gaming companion that lets you manage your video game library like never before! With Gamery, you can organize your games with collections, track your achievements, and keep up with upcoming releases with the integrated wishlist across all your devices. Import your…
Joe Chott@nicoreese @gamery I was interested in this, but the 3.5 year fee for the app ($13 a year for 3.5 years pays for the app) feels exorbitant for something that I can do from a simple text file. Since I’m unwilling to rent software and this is where the fee is at to purchase it…. I’ll just continue to use a text file. :)
@Verxion As it stands now, Gamery provides me with a monthly recurring revenue of <$50. Luckily, being an indie developer is not my only job, otherwise I could not do this at all. I simply can’t offer a lifetime option for less, otherwise the recurring revenue would be even lower. I also wished we were still in 2010 where I could offer this at a one-time $5 purchase and thousands of people would buy it, but that's just not the case any more in today's landscape.
@nicoreese Yeah, at your current rental prices I can see why the income would be so low. I get that you can’t charge $5 too. No real path to fix it I don’t think. Sucks. :(
Tom Hülsmann@nicoreese @stroughtonsmith @gamery Hi Nico, Steves showcase (and actually also opening your app) gave me the idea to record my first thoughts of the apps posted here. So I made a short video, recording my first launch experience with Gamery! Forgive me the unsolicited feedback, but I hope you might find it interesting! Keep on the good work!
First Launch Experience: FLE01 - "Gamery - Game Tracker"
@TomHu That's a nice video. Reminds me of the early 2010s where those kind of videos were more common. It's so interesting to see the reaction from other users, as you become so accustomed to your own apps as a developer, that you just overlook so much. I'll definitely take a look at the UI issues with localization. It was also fun to hear you try pronouncing my name, it's just a German name though, so it's pronounced just as it's written :-) Thanks for sharing this with me!
Craigosborne@stroughtonsmith I recently launched my second app RewardMe.

Brandon Horst@stroughtonsmith I’m a few weeks away from launching WitKit, a GPT-4 client for Mac and iOS. Fully native on all platforms, with full Shortcuts support, streaming results, iCloud sync, search, tagging, custom prompts, history tracking, and complete privacy with no accounts required.
Basically ChatGPT for pros who love quality apps.
Send me your email if you’d like in on the TestFlight.
Will Honey@brandonhorst I'm interested! Can I DM you my email?
@Tibfib Definitely
Jeff NoxonI’m interested if this can use my own API key
@jeff I’m not planning to let folks use their own API key because (1) OpenAI guards features like GPT-4 at the account level, and I don’t want to deal with that complexity, (2) I’m planning to support other services beyond OpenAI (Anthropic, whatever else comes around, hopefully on-device stuff eventually), and (3) giving your API key to third parties is a bad idea that I don’t want to encourage.
@brandonhorst I hear ya, I’m not normal folk
Tony Snyder
Jan Armbrust @brandonhorst @stroughtonsmith @witkit Would also be highly interested in getting into the TestFlight! Could send you my email in a DM
@n0rthk1n9 That’d be great
miki@brandonhorst @stroughtonsmith How do you accomplish the “complete privacy” part without also exposing the API key to MITM attacks? Or does “complete privacy” actually mean “everything goes through my server?”
@miki That’s a good point, I need to be very precise with my language! It means that everything goes through my server, but I don’t collect any identifying information. The only “user identity” concept the app will have will be the anonymous subscription IDs that apple provide, used for rate limiting.
gs@gsapienza DM me your email or send to [email protected]
Samuel Ting@brandonhorst interested in trying this out! Can I DM you my email address?
Yaroslav@yar Do you mean ChatGPT plugins? No, I don’t know of any api for those yet
@brandonhorst Yep, exactly, looking forward when they add an API for those
@yar Definitely same

Laz@stroughtonsmith just released an update to my Sonos Shortcuts app called Soro adding a ‘Speak Text’ Shortcuts action, that works very similarly to the Intercom action available for the HomePod.

@thatvirtualboy @stroughtonsmith what a nice app idea! I would never have thought of using an app to scan and keep greeting cards. I always feel bad throwing them away.
@raygan @stroughtonsmith Thank you Raygan! My thoughts exactly!
