Not bad considering January I was at 8.8k overall. 📈
Been leaning into SEO lately, nice not having to wait on approvals or deal with rejections. 😅
For the first time in nearly 10 years, I just built Buffers iOS app without Texture / AsyncDisplayKit.
A lot of modernization went into this, and with the new Composer almost out the door, the rest of the dominos can fall, including removing CocoaPods and finally being 100% in on Swift Package Manager.
Any app with a single external dependency is only as reliable as that dependency.
I’ve been building @alpenglowapp's own sunrise & sunset forecast model for exactly that reason.
When SunsetWX went down last weekend, I flipped the switch earlier than planned.
Analytics tool hopping for @alpenglowapp 😅
Mixpanel → plans changed, too expensive
TelemetryDeck → didn’t quite click, ended up pricey PostHog → powerful, but complex
Now trying @joshdholtz’s MostlyGoodMetrics. Hoping it’s mostly good and the price is 😍
