Indie creator log day 13/100 (before my wife makes me get a real job)
ARR growth: +$636. I can proudly announce I have achieved minimum wage 🎉 If I can release a banger like this every week we might be getting somewhere.
Spent the day rushing to finish my Kotlin Multiplatform vs Swift for Android post. Fortunately/unfortunately, they team had just merged in a way to interop Async/Await with swift-java.
This dramatically improves the ergonomics, but I had to re-write my whole f*cking project.
Got it out in time. Managed to get some people to proofread my stuff. Thanks a ton to to Alex Bush and Pierluigi Cifani 🙏
I have an interview with a very legendary figure in the iOS community tomorrow, so I spent the rest of the day prepping the various questions I want to ask.
With the rest of the day, I actually managed to get a gym session in which is crazy. I think my potential positive avenues
vis-a-vis sponsorship has reduced the intensity with which I'm going to try and muck around with LeetCode. Depends on my runway though.
Spent the last part of the day planning out my “Swift Concurrency Kata” which is going to join in with my concurrency course as a new pillar in why someone should become a paid subscriber. Think like a game where each level is an increasingly difficult puzzle that you have to solve with a different tool, or combination of tools,
in Swift Concurrency. With my full focus this week, I'm aiming to get it out to my paid subs by Tuesday 11.
