Really hopeful start to this product page optimization... then it all goes downhill πŸ˜…
@amyworrall almost never. Aside from a giveaway, I think I’ve only given one or two codes out for @alpenglowapp in just under 10 years.

Not bad considering January I was at 8.8k overall. πŸ“ˆ

Been leaning into SEO lately, nice not having to wait on approvals or deal with rejections. πŸ˜…

@RobW Thanks for the tips. Thats the next update kicked off.
@RobW Starglow handles Dynamic Type quite well in my opinion. Not perfect but better than some I've seen.

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 πŸ˜…

Mixpanel β†’ plans changed, too expensive
TelemetryDeck β†’ didn’t quite click, ended up pricey PostHog β†’ powerful, but complex

Now trying @joshdholtz’s MostlyGoodMetrics. Hoping it’s mostly good and the price is 😍
