Failed experience becomes an experience that leads to success.

A flat App launch isn’t the end. it’s just data.

You can relaunch as many times as you need. Polish, update, tweak your marketing, and try again.

In the era of AI, the greatest skill you can master isn’t just learning faster it’s reducing the time between idea and execution.

Moved my icon over to Icon Composer today. Took a few hours, but worth it. Convert your current icon into SVG layers (btn 1–4), then experiment in Icon Composer until you find a combo that actually works.

Yesterday, I submitted my app EchoKeep to the @revenuecat #Shipaton2025

EchoKeep is an AI-powered RSS reader designed to help you capture, organize, and retain what matters most from everything you read.

Big thanks to @revenuecat
@onesignal, @ElevenLabsDevs, and @coderabbitai for making this possible

Thank you to everyone for the feedback so far. I’ll keep working on EchoKeep and continue improving it

Finding the sweet spot is everything.
UX/UI is like a volume knob.

Too little ❌ -> Too much ❌ -> Just right ✅

Refined the Settings screen → simplified design & stronger CTAs. Less clutter, more intent.

Sometimes less is more.
