No sales of #McKinley over the last few days. I was pleased with my launch week, but now I’m worrying again about how I can market this going forward :( #MacDev #IndieDev #BuildInPublic

    @amyworrall@mastodon.social Well, for one thing, I have high hopes that @iosdevweekly@iosdev.space will feature #McKinley this coming issue. They missed the launch, and for that I can forgive them, but there would be no excuses for failing to include the most exciting iOS development tool in months.

    @amyworrall@mastodon.social I did a Google search for “mckinley app fonts ios” and didn’t find the app, so SEO (as much as it sucks) may be a good focus, too!

    @amyworrall@mastodon.social I’d do some more introduction videos on YouTube. I bought it and launched it, but wasn’t sure where to start to be honest. I was going to watch your current videos. And put those videos on the app site if you haven’t.

    @amyworrall@mastodon.social Ugh, I'm sorry to hear. I still haven't bought my copy (which I will, because I've lost countless hours failing at custom SF Symbols!) So that's at least *one* sale! 😰 @deepgreen@indieapps.space struggles with the same. Once I’m done with Duo support, I’ll check out Kickstart to at least *learn* something. But it's an uphill battle. I watched a marketeer who made a lot of money from his AI-generated apps, and it made me puke. I’m not going to go there.

    @amyworrall@mastodon.social I suggest finding out where the designers hang out and spread the word there. I’d guess there are a lot of designers that make assets for iOS dev teams that aren’t devs themselves so may not have seen it.
