“Just ship it” is terrible advice if you can’t count. Retention. Budget. Unit economics. Skip the math and congrats, you’re now losing money at scale. 🎉

Hey @logto_io, I completely fell in love with your product from the first encounter. The documentation is amazing, easily the best onboarding experience. One small downside: your React Native Expo SDK has outdated dependencies and no activity on GitHub (there are PRs, but no one to merge them). Please take a look 🙏

Got the first users on Pickle Picker. Interesting insights and early growing pains. The cookie banner blocks interaction in a non obvious way, and a few elements look interactive but are not. Will be fixing this.

Only in Germany, when you switch to winter tires, they remind you of the speed limit of your tires, not just the road

Marketing is tough, they said. Google Ads just wouldn’t let me register an account at all, and Microsoft Ads slapped me with a strike right after launching my very first campaign. Well, no accounts, no problems.

Lost 10 followers in a single day, I guess some bots just dropped off. How do you handle it so they don’t end up following you in the first place?

“To be in a pickle” means to be stuck in a difficult, awkward, or tricky situation where it’s hard to see the right way out

Christmas is coming, which means interest in this topic is rising in search queries. We’ve added themed events to our games to get a bit of organic traffic. How do you prepare for seasonal moments like this?

Managed to get through moderation before the Christmas holidays with my new game Hex Mixer! If you enjoy doing sums in hexadecimal... give it a try 😄

My second game on the Apple App Store! No ads or in-app purchases, just gaining experience. Built with React Native, with simple graphics because I’m not a designer. apps.apple.com/en/app/hex-mi…

In the new Safari 26.2 version, they’ve brought in new bugs. @Apple, are you okay? Patch releases are usually supposed to fix bugs, not add new ones🥲

We’ve launched three games on the Amazon Appstore this quarter, and they’re currently in moderation on Apple and Google Play as well. What a productive quarter, and even more releases are ahead!
