Introducing my partner (Sociologist professor with ZERO interest in SW) to Star Wars by pitching her on Andor. But first I suggested she watch Rouge One before we started Andor and she really liked it!

Starting Andor S1 tonight. Wish me luck 🤞🏽 #StarWars

‘Private Search’ coming to Chunk this week!

Chunk is one of the few AI apps that doesn’t read your chats or share your data with LLMs or advertisers. Now you can make sure those embarrassing questions aren’t even stored in your history 🫣

Simply turn on Private Chat in the AI Model selection screen and look for the 👁️ #indiedev #iOS #aitools

One of my users (professor) shared that they’re using Chunk to help create an asssignment where their students match rappers lyrics to the appropriate sociological theoretical perspective. We love this use!

I charge less than all of my competitors for Chunk. I’m also not artificially limiting context window sizes like some apps…*cough* Perplexity *cough* and up until last week had a pretty lax limit of daily searches.

Until last week when a user, on trial I’ll add, performed 300+ searches a day then canceled their trial.

I have no idea what the hell they were doing but they cost me more than I charge for a yearly subscription 😢. So I had to limit to 200 searches a day. #indiedev #SwiftUI #apps

Just launched native Apple Maps support in Chunk today on iOS. (macOS in App Review)

Adding to the growing list of integrations and rich data support for all types of workflows:

Swift Charts, Code block, Tables, Apple Maps, Image Generation and more!

Not to mention access to all of the latest AI models for less than the cost of one! #indiedev #iOS #macos #SwiftUI #aitools #research #pleaseboost #chunk

The past 2 wks after a big update and some social media post taking off, my app has had a growth spurt.

Downloads up 50+%
Trials up 300%
Usage up over 100%

It really amazing 🥹….however this near air I’m in has introduced my app to some “whale” users. 😭

Someone has been using my app for 2 days nearly & has more searches than all users for the past 2 weeks. Cost me $100 just in API fees. So now I have to add even more restrictions that I had until now, avoided. #indiedev #SwiftUI #apps
