My new book Everything but the Code is packed with structured advice to help developers ship, and it's been hugely popular. Now I'm working on something bigger, and I'm calling it Kickstart – a macOS app to help indie developers succeed on the App Store.
I'm taking all the advice and guidance from Everything but the Code, and boiling it down into clear, actionable, daily goals anyone can work through. I then back it up with automations for a ton of tasks, leaning on so many projects I've built in the past.
Want a website for your app? Kickstart uses Ignite to build it all in Swift. Want to track responses to user reviews? Kickstart builds on ShipShape for just that. Want to nail your screenshots? Kickstart brings in Control Room – all under one hood. And that's just for starters 😎
Whether you're analyzing competitors for weak spots, working on hooks for TikTok videos, writing pitches to the press, or just need a structured pathway you can follow to help you launch your app with a bang, Kickstart is coming to help you succeed.
I plan to open initial TestFlight slots early in January, then more throughout the month as early user feedback is applied. Let me know if you're interested! In the meantime, here's a microsite just to whet your appetite 😅
