Okay - wow!
I am now a visionOS expert, thank you!

I feel like a god - 0 errors, build and ran for visionOS successfully in my first attempt?
Love not having dependencies!

Tasks was born in my mind today, a year ago!
It took me 3 months to plan the app, it’s features and data model!
Since then 85000 downloads, 1700+ paid users and I went full time indie! I’ll write about it all very soon.
Developers on twitter really inspired me, thank you ❤️
It’s been exactly a year since this account was created. A few interesting facts:
- Tasks was made because
@mufasaYC
could not find a native task manager good enough to plan his potential indie app (ended up becoming it)
- designed & coded in 2.5 months by a single person 👨💻

Apple actually left a way for non-US Apple ID folks to enjoy the apps.
Sign in with your US Apple ID > install all the apps you want > logout > login to your regular App Store account > all apps are there and working ❤️❤️❤️

My first company, asked me questions about linked lists, sorting algorithms etc.
I told them, I use .sort() and can look up and learn other techniques and whether our existing app uses linked lists to which they replied no.
They asked me relevant questions next. I got that job.

Making Mac apps is the new thing, just like making iPad apps used to be and before that iPhone apps!
Mac App Store might finally become extremely useful with a variety of apps. Maybe reduce browser usage and have good native apps with a nicer system integration!

Tasks usually makes around $700-$1000 a week and it could help support a bunch of families during this massive wave of COVID. It’s a very small part that I can play, but it could mean everything for a family out there.
Let’s make a difference.
100% of our proceeds for the next 7 days starting now will be donated for the COVID relief efforts in India. It is definitely a small gesture but could go to help save a couple of families out there making a big impact 🤝

It’s been a real tough and hectic week. I was diagnosed with COVID along with my wife and maybe my 8 month son (who had a 103 fever, but he much much better now).
It’s so hard when we have to take care of ourselves and him.
Hope y’all are taking care and staying safe Tweeters

On this flight with the Apple Vision Pro, it feels like I’m sitting in a park bench in the most ambient and serene location with my Mac working. Flights are so much more bearable with it and everything in the AVP is absolutely STILL. Madness!!!

Maybe not next, but definitely right up there. More Indians are stepping out to become entrepreneurs and catching up on way to scale a product efficiently. Build in India and distribute globally, that’s the sweet spot. Already have a working product, now to growing it!

The real world through it is decent, not real enough
However when you set an environment it is beautiful

If Reddit ever IPOs everyone at Times Square should sport this to jog their memory that it was apps like Apollo and other 3rd party apps that they ran over to get there
Judging by the amount of Apollo merch that’s sold in the last two weeks without me even mentioning it, maybe I should be in the t-shirt biz instead of apps
So, if you want to pick some up, there’s a bunch of stuff available at
