How to sharpen your focus in 3 steps:
1. Use pen and paper for daily planning and quick notes
2. Use one screen for hyperfocus on one task
3. Set time limits for tasks
Pomodoro timer with accountability buddies ... good idea or not?
Nothing like a little social pressure to keep you off your phone

Morning school ride on Fiido M1 Pro
I'm slowly converting to an EV rider
I still like the sound and smell of a motorcycle engine, but I have to agree that an e-bike could be a more practical ride for city commuting.
I think I built the perfect paywall.
5 users saw it and 13 converted
I will try to push it to 15 sales from 5 users, but I'm afraid I reached the limit there.
It could be a glitch in the RevenueCat experiment report, but for now, I will stick with the theory that I'm a genius.

Tourist mode on. Seems that Luka will need to get a guide dog certification to get into parks in Bangkok :) I'm not sure why, but dogs are not allowed almost anywhere.

Just rented house for a year, then will see.
In touristy parts of Bangkok you can get around with English only, in more local areas not so much. I sucesfully ordered ramen, but failed to get 3 portions of sticky rice in market. Got 3kg instead. I will need to learn Thai sooner than planned :)

Last week was busy. We had to clean the apartment, move out, and visit all the favorite spots around. And I got a horrible cold to make all of that even more tricky. Also, I uploaded a video about where and why we are moving: https://youtu.be/rgeGFhB_mbk

Surprisingly, I can still code without internet and AI models. It's the midsummer holiday weekend here in Latvia. I'm on the seaside with almost no internet connection, but I still spent a few hours on indie apps. Almost ready to ship the MVP for another AI identifier app. I wanted just one more

Hello, my name is Aivars, and I have ADHD - I started the morning with a plan to watch a few WWDC sessions - Played around with Apple AI models on lunch break - On the evening, I launched the Vercel server for the OpenAI proxy and built a test app Wait, what was the plan for today?

Cmon Apple! Why could we get our hands on just-announced features? Do we need macOS 26 to get the intelligence in Xcode, or is that "coming later next year" and we should stick with Cursor?

I don't care much about AI in Xcode anymore. 3rd party tools are fine. I hope to see an announcement for an on-device AI model for developers. Like Siri, but working. Hanging out on Kick tonight to watch the WWDC keynote, come over if you need company https://kick.com/aivarsmeijers

Coding alone is fine.
Coding with a chill stream on? Way better π

This is often asked - how to get second boost for the app from Apple.
You can't, start promote you apps you lazy .. :)
Yep, free users are very valuable in social networks and similar app, where they are the part of the product :)
"Secret" formula to make more money from your apps is easy
- every user should see your paywall
- it is ok to show paywall often
- yes, that's fine to ask to pay for the app or dismiss paywall
Creating tutorials is a way to learn as well. You are not wrong about that.
Thank you π
I do not do programming tutorial videos for two reasons:
- there already are pleaty great tutorial YouTube channels
- I'm horribly bad programmer
I'm just ex head of products who learned to code Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Iβm looking for the next app idea.
Probably that will be something travel or sales related.
We are moving to another country soon, so I have to chose what to pack for a trip and what to sell.
While we are here, we hanging out in a favorite places.
Yes, I'm willingly "leaving money on the table" by ignoring Android platform
Even I'm thinking about Kotlin Multi Platform project, it is dumb idea and I should't do that.
Ai will not replace developers, but it is dumb to ignore it
