@amyworrall@mastodon.social Have you considered having a version on the Mac App Store? Developer tools have pretty high visibility and probably add to SEO as well.
And maybe reaching out to other dev tools authors to find out what has worked for them? You’re not really competing with any of them.
Could adding some AI hooks and creating a skill (for example, to export/rebuild symbols) help?
It may also be good to experiment with buying some keywords for SF Symbols in Sketch or Illustrator, etc. Nothing big, just an experiment.
Finally, Seth Godin is one of my favorite authors and he just released a book called The Knot, which I find very promising (but I haven’t read yet). But here’s a video that may spark some inspiration: https://youtu.be/_FbCuWLiiqw?si=OBiOE2Nhc-VAEveG

@mikesax@mas.to I went back and forth about Mac App Store for a while. The reasons I didn’t go for it were: * The SF Symbol browser feature uses private APIs. (Could be mitigated by making it a plugin…) * I wasn’t sure if Apple would get weird about an app that allows working with SF Symbols. Like, _technically_ McKinley lets you convert them to Android format… * I want to charge for major version upgrades, and that code is a hassle on the App Store. All could be mitigated I guess!
