Banner for "Milk" that features a shopping list on a smartphone screen, and the slogan "This Shopping List Remembers & Learns".
Just launched "Milk" – a super simple grocery list app @shemilt.de and I built in under 48 hours last weekend!
Milk remembers the order you tick items off, so your list is sorted for your next trip. Plus, you can create multiple stores, each remembers its own order! apple.co/4htQujf

No worries. We just created an account for @gettrendly.app. Could you add it?
Will both be fixed. Thanks
Table from the AC documentation showing that the finance permission is required for viewing payments and financial reports.
Hey, it looks like we made a mistake here, and the finance permission is required. We'll fix the description in the next update. Thanks for letting me know!
Hey Ryan, I’ve just created @indieappcatalog.bsky.social and while it’s not necessarily an app, I feel like it’s related enough for this list? If it doesn’t quite align, I completely understand—just thought it might be worth suggesting!
Exiting news! I took over @indieappcatalog.bsky.social from Filip Němeček (nemecek.be). And I’d love to hear your thoughts! What features or changes would make the catalog even better?
More about the change: kruschel.dev/indie-app-ca...
Studycards is a powerful flashcard app with spaced repetition, detailed statistics & an intuitive UI.

Hey 👋, I'm Cameron.
I love to build apps in my spare time that others might find useful. Feel free to check out some of the things I've built:

Screenshot of a SKStoreProductViewController showing the app Trendly: App Sales
This is what the SKStoreProductViewController looks like:
Yeah, the iTunes API can be frustrating. What you can try is scraping the App Store Page or if this is for App Exhibit you can use a SKStoreProductViewController to show a native modal of the AppStore page (helpful SwiftUI view modifier: github.com/kylehughes/c...)
I believe this is because of Apple’s recent changes to screenshot requirements. The API seems to only respond with 6.5-inch screenshots (iirc), which are no longer required.
Started to put together a starter pack with iOS developers I follow on Bluesky - Let me know who is missing!
