I made a minimal Android launcher called Olauncher during the pandemic. It now has a million downloads with 4.8 rating. A year ago (Jan, 2023) I launched the pro version, called Pro Launcher, and it's doing well. Both available on my Play Store account called Digital Minimalism: https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=719880784008107493...

I love this because it combines my favourite things! Nice work. Can you share what your income is from the sites combined roughly? Is this your side job or is it your main income now?

Looks really well done! What did you build it with?
The app is built with Tauri
I geniuely thought after looking at the screenshot, I would need to learn Swift and understand how apps are made in Mac to make an app to look like that.
My background is in Java and C Sharp. Looking at Microsoft UI framework, it does not look at all what you made.
Could you please show a good place to start to make and mock UI like that ? I find your work more interesting since your background appears to be backend/cloud!

#200I wouldn't consider this a startup.. but my co-founder and I built a model-based algorithm that uses maritime trade activity to predict inconsistencies in shipping company performance, and we use that information to buy/sell options in those companies.
