How should you price your app?
It’s one of the toughest questions for app founders. Adapty is hosting Patrick Falzon to break it down. He’s helped apps generate millions, and now he’s sharing his insights.
Join us Thurs, Feb 27 @ 2 PM EST. Don’t leave money on the table.

I am praying for Ross Ulbricht. President Trump has promised to commute his sentence, so after ten years this will be his last Christmas spent unjustly incarcerated in a high security prison. Support criminal justice reform for non-violent offenders and @Free_Ross

Stop seeking product feedback from other builders
You will just get a whole bunch of advice about frameworks, niche functionality and architecture
You’ll get stuck in the trap
Users don’t care about any of that

Adapty recently introduced their solution to reduce refunds on App Store platform and this is my experience with it so far.
After providing Apple the usage information, they successfully rejected 3 spam refund requests within 2 days and the refund amount they rejected already exceeded the subscription price I'm paying to Adapty.
Great feature so far! I'll share more info after a month 🥸

Hey #TechTwitter & #iOSDev community! I'm on the lookout for my next adventure in iOS development. Got skills in Swift & love making apps that users love.
Open to remote roles but can be wooed to relocate for the right gig!
Know a spot? Feel free to DM me with that dream job🙂

To all the companies calling people back to the office full-time: Don't mistake presence for performance.
Showing up is not a sign of commitment or contribution. It's an act of compliance.
What matters is the value people create, not the place they inhabit.

Screen sharing with a student today:
S: "I don't understand this function.."
Me: "<Explains>...change line 11"
S: "<Starts typing...>
Copilot: "<Offers suggestion, no explanation>"
S: "<Immediately accepts suggestion without reading, still doesn't understand, code is wrong>"

It’s that time again! I’m looking to find a new role as a mid-senior level iOS developer. If you or anyone you know is looking to fill an iOS position then hit me up!

The reason people think Republicans should be humiliated by the Speaker fight is that people in the US are so used to our binary 2-party system.
I personally think it’s weirder that our Congress is supposed to be full of bobbleheads who follow orders. Debate should be normal.

Imagine thinking that the democratic process of choosing a speaker is somehow bad for democracy. When our representatives are free to disagree—when consensus is hard-earned rather than commanded—*that’s* when representative government is meaningful and worthy of admiration.

Just because I disagree with you, does not mean that I hate you. We need to relearn that in our society.

We have an overcriminalization problem. Maybe you should quit criminalizing voluntary exchanges between consenting adults and focus instead on stopping actual violence, fraud, and abuse perpetrated by the state, which is the foundation of many crimes perpetrated by individuals.

It’s that time of the year where indie developers will rush to spend a ton of money on new hardware to ensure their app works on your new and shiny iPhone. Now’s a good time to make sure you’re supporting your favorite indie developers.
