Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!Steadily plugging away at the app. Some features I've been trying to rid of bugs for weeks. Stack Overflow isn't as active for Swift as it is for Javascript. I'll get there but it's taking a long time. I rethought a feature of the app and redesigned it, surprise surprise my UI design has got...- • nikita •

Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!I was feeling really demotivated this week after struggling for days on end on a task that would take a more experienced developer a few hours. But finally got it to work! I went back to my list of tasks a few minutes ago and I've completed half of them! In a few days I'm going abroad for...- • nikita •

Which Online Courses Have Provided the Most Value to You?
My business takes the form of an app, so I bought the Udemy course "iOS 11 & Swift 4 - The Complete iOS App Development Bootcamp" for around $20. Zipped through it in a week and that was all I needed to start. Would highly recommend if anyone wants to learn how to make iOS apps. My company just...- • nikita •

Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!I've had a difficult week, though a lot was learned. I was in the state of analysis-paralysis with my app because of the 2 problems I mentioned in my last post. But then I realized that even though in a perfect world I would have those features how I initially imagined, the MVP doesn't have to...- • nikita •

Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!Hitting major road blocks with this. What can I say, it couldn't all just go smoothly till the finish line! There are 2 main issues: 1. Part of my app includes a game-like element so I need to implement Spritekit and delve into some game tutorials. Stack Overflow are helpful with technical...- • nikita •

Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!Have been eating, sleeping, breathing this for the past few days since I ramped up my work on it. I've been ticking off ~2 tasks a day as opposed to my planned 2 a week. Read an article on database costs which scared me a bit: Firebase Costs Increased by 7,000%! – Startups & Venture Capital...- • nikita •

Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!And Firebase is now storing, displaying and updating information correctly in my app! The user can now see their personal stats and set a profile image. I've been grinning at it for hours! Achieving something so simple for some programmers makes me so happy. Xcode is a pleasure to work with...- • nikita •

Coming up with new business ideas
IDEAComing up with a business idea was the most terrifying part for me (lol) because it's always been difficult for me. I've always either copied someone's business idea that was successful for them and at that time, but unsuccessful for me because I suit better ideas and times change. What I did...- • nikita •

[Progress] The Road to a wholesome Unscripted Life
HOT!Lol'd at your set up because it's exactly like how mine was in my last job. I was reading books and listening to podcasts, running ads for my (completely unresearched but at least I tried) business. Only I'm a huge introvert so those startup things like meetups, "beer Fridays" etc I F*cking...- • nikita •

Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!I checked out a few price calculators and it'll be at least $8k (even that sounds low, some estimates go $20k+), money I don't have. I want to make it myself, then if I want to change something I don't have to hire people or familiarize myself with code I haven't written. And I can use the...- • nikita •

Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!Read up on in-app subscriptions and how they're the fastest growing app monetization method. Watched this video from Apple about designing for subscriptions which was good: Designing for Subscription Success - WWDC 2017 - Videos - Apple Developer This is starting to take a toll on my health...- • nikita •

Breaking the commandment of control
This is what happens when you make a lot of money but don’t know how to retain it. With what he has he can probably reinvest and keep living fastlane for the rest of his life. I doubt it though. I’m really looking forward to seeing how badly his career bombs or if he’ll recover somehow.- • nikita •

Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!Been making steady progress. Made some concept changes to include more value, felt it was a bit "bare" in the fear of feature creep but even the most basic app has to include good value. Finished the UI for the profile page and actually managed to save user data to Firebase! This is huge because...- • nikita •

Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!Finally managed to implement Facebook sign in. Their documentation is not the best out there. It really needs to be updated, they are still using deprecated methods and have the most important code examples only in Objective-C. And I thought Google was difficult. Wrote out the order of the...- • nikita •

Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!Created a new landing page, imported all my old opt in emails into MailCheat(Chimp) and set up an FB ad. I'm not sure whether I should keep double opt-in enabled or not. On one hand, I can get more emails having just a single opt-in (users don't need to confirm their emails) but some users may just...- • nikita •

Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!Yeah I agree with you on needing more data. I was just about to create a better landing page and launch ads again. I was thinking of a freemium/monthly subscription model rather than a one-time app cost. Is it even possible to pre-order apps (subscription based ones without specific release...- • nikita •

Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!Finished creating the tab bar and the status bar that holds some of the user's stats. The navigation is basically done. I'm really happy I chose to dive right into this rather than waste more time on tutorials. The only issues I'm having right now is how to implement a subscription wall /...- • nikita •

Path to creating a digital product
NOTABLE!Having a blast with this, spending Christmas Eve eating chocolates and coding. I finally managed to implement Google sign in and cleaned it all up with custom error messages and basic UI stuff. Tempting to just ignore them but I'm trying to take care of everything that may frustrate my users...- • nikita •
