Every player hates these games. Every indie dev fears these comments. And yet here I am, telling you that it’s probably the best way to monetize and actually make money with your app. Here’s why I still use in-app purchases in my game 👇23 Apr 2026 12:04 +0000at://did:plc:d74l3v7ehnp3d7xusv37iac7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk5xsydgcc23https://bsky.app/profile/galaxies.dev/post/3mjz576y5na2qHow hard is it to run a mobile game alone? Harder than building the game itself. Because building is just one part of it 👇21 Apr 2026 13:57 +0000at://did:plc:d74l3v7ehnp3d7xusv37iac7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjz576y5na2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/galaxies.dev/post/3mjtzcmxdeg2qReceived my very first invoice from @RevenueCat this week after years of using it.

Not life-changing… but enough to completely change how I think about building apps.

But most don't even make it to L5 or L10. Looks like the task for next week is clear: I need a better onboarding!20 Mar 2026 14:02 +0000at://did:plc:d74l3v7ehnp3d7xusv37iac7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhiokycdds2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/galaxies.dev/post/3mhgb4fy25p2eAI one-shot a retention analysis for Tiny Harvest 🔥 These are the moment where I truly love the progress of AI. This would have taken me hours, if I had actually pulled together the right data and libraries for the charts. It took less than 3 minutes.19 Mar 2026 14:56 +0000at://did:plc:d74l3v7ehnp3d7xusv37iac7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhgb4fy25p2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/galaxies.dev/post/3mhdxea5w5p2bSpent hours debugging a crash in my app. Turns out it was caused by the iOS Reduce Motion accessibility setting. A reminder that real-world users run your app in environments you never test 😅18 Mar 2026 16:56 +0000at://did:plc:d74l3v7ehnp3d7xusv37iac7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhdxea5w5p2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/galaxies.dev/post/3mhbh5r47td2eI built a Fire TV app with React Native 👀 Not mobile. Not web. An actual TV app using VegaOS. Here's how to get started 👇17 Mar 2026 17:00 +0000at://did:plc:d74l3v7ehnp3d7xusv37iac7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhbh5r47td2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/galaxies.dev/post/3mh6q4f34o324I built a mobile idle game in under 60 minutes this weekend. It's completely terrible. But shipping something playable in an hour with React Native + Expo is still wild.16 Mar 2026 15:03 +0000at://did:plc:d74l3v7ehnp3d7xusv37iac7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mh6q4f34o324https://bsky.app/profile/galaxies.dev/post/3mgx6np2rmi23What would I change in my next app?

Here's the best thing you can do for your app this week 💪11 Mar 2026 16:56 +0000at://did:plc:d74l3v7ehnp3d7xusv37iac7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgse3vl2hh2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/galaxies.dev/post/3mgpvu36rma2eI'm usually not the biggest fan of app builders but.... @orchidsapp surprised me 👀10 Mar 2026 17:36 +0000at://did:plc:d74l3v7ehnp3d7xusv37iac7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgpvu36rma2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/galaxies.dev/post/3mgmz3uj3zx2bMy new best friend - Xcode debugging tools. When playing my game (or just keeping one screen idle) I am/was at high energy impact and constant CPU usage, which drained a lot of battery. Now debugging this by commenting out single tabs/views/components to check their impact on CPU in real time.09 Mar 2026 13:56 +0000at://did:plc:d74l3v7ehnp3d7xusv37iac7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgmz3uj3zx2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/galaxies.dev/post/3mgakkra5zj2mThe State of React Native survey results are absolutely wild: 🥇 #1 Video Creator 🥈 #2 React Native Podcast 📚 Galaxies mentioned among the places developers learn React Native and @expo.dev Honestly pretty crazy. Thanks to everyone building with React Native and being part of this community 🙌04 Mar 2026 15:04 +0000at://did:plc:d74l3v7ehnp3d7xusv37iac7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgakkra5zj2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/galaxies.dev/post/3mg6ftdnvdd26How I usually mess up my game: 1. Submit an update to Apple because I "fixed" something 2. Notice it was not fixed, reject my submission 3. Publish an OTA update in the OLD version to fix it 5. Submit a NEW app to Apple 6. Wait forever because I am at the end of the queue03 Mar 2026 18:34 +0000at://did:plc:d74l3v7ehnp3d7xusv37iac7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg6ftdnvdd26https://bsky.app/profile/galaxies.dev/post/3mg6ash3omv2fI absolutely regret that I didn't use this feature earlier. Gems. Diamonds. Tokens. Every app currently has some kind of virtual currency. Implementing them used to be… kinda annoying. RevenueCat just made this way simpler 👇03 Mar 2026 17:04 +0000at://did:plc:d74l3v7ehnp3d7xusv37iac7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg6ash3omv2f
