Shipaton 2026, part 2, built from your replies.
Do solo builders ship to both stores less than teams? A bit: 16.4% vs 20.5%.
Plus Hitoiro's numbers, Joe's KMP story and 10 new data points 👇
Thanks @plahteenlahti @RevenueCat @Shipaton #Shipaton
This animation took me quite a few iterations to get right, but I feel it makes a huge difference on this screen. The completion indicator is always visible and also uses the whole screen estate for an immersive experience 👌 #shipaton
Really enjoyed taking part in the @RevenueCat #shipaton this year, looking forward to seeing the apps that come away with prizes! This was my entry with Sleevd 🙌 devpost.com/software/sleevd
Made a custom pull-to-refresh indicator for Sleevd, because why not 😀 #shipaton
Worked on a quick and fun little animation for Sleevd,got some more fun ones coming over the next few days! joebirch.co/android/animatin…
