With WWDC 2020 coming up, I realized our path to @PenbookApp started one year ago to the day. We were in Whistler at our annual retreat. The agenda: figure out how to get back into making iOS apps after an 8-year hiatus. Here's how we did it. 1/

Surface X sounds like an amazing new playground for developers, except it's a bit of a mirage. We have 3 great UWP apps, already popular on the store, all three have ARM (32bit) versions and we could submit ARM64 today, if only.... thread 1/6

This is a great writeup and perfectly captures our thinking with @PenbookApp’s pricing.
It took me a while to warm up to the idea, but I think @pschiller was right: for _most_ apps that might otherwise do paid updates, subscriptions are a much better option. Coming to that conclusion is part of why I joined @RevenueCat. I wrote about it here: revenuecat.com/2019/09/24/su…

We're trying something weird here - we want Penbook for iPad to generate recurring revenue without creating a new SKU every year, selling upgrade versions, or doing all the hard work @Agenda had to go to.
Launch sale! Penbook for iPad is only $1/yr while we figure out WTF we are doing. #pencilkit apps.apple.com/app/id1473064…

If you haven't seen it for yourself - like, if you're wise enough to not use iOS betas - here's a rundown of what Apple's PencilKit offers to Penbook and why we're using it penbook.substack.com/p/penci…

posting this video of how nice PencilKit is so we can link to this tweet from our newsletter

Penbook on iOS is coming soon-ish (well, whenever #SwiftUI is allowed in the App Store). Check out our dev diary and sneak preview, and sign up for the beta: penbook.substack.com/p/first…

Condukt now running on #SwiftUI - the UI is not styled in any way but was quite a bit simpler to recreate than in UIKit cc @stroughtonsmith

Going down our list of most-requested features - the latest Penbook now includes something very fresh from Xerox circa 1973
