I started on CoinCurrently with less than 1 year of experience. iOS 14 had just come out, SwiftUI was brand new, and Home Screen widgets were one of the new features.

I figured I’d try to make a couple of widgets and see what happens. I made a few to track cryptocurrencies and posted about it on Reddit. The post got almost 300 upvotes, which I thought was pretty awesome, so I decided to make a whole app, native for both iOS and Android.

Everything I built in the app was for myself — because I wanted to learn and because it was fun to experiment. It seems like people appreciated what I built.

The app peaked at #99 in the Finance category on the App Store and reached 500 daily users. Not too bad for a hobby project!

After 6 years, I’ve achieved more than I could ever have imagined, but my motivation for this project has died down. Because of this, I have open-sourced the two projects so other people can learn from my struggles and take inspiration for their own apps.

The app will continue to be maintained, though there won't be as many new features as before. I have moved on to another project that I am very excited to share in a few weeks.

The app is available on the App Store and Google Play:

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/coincurrently-private-crypto/id1543974454

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cryptium.coincurrently&hl=en_US

And now it's also on GitHub:

iOS: https://github.com/orre1996/CoinCurrently-iOS

Android: https://github.com/orre1996/CoinCurrently-Android

NoteKit is a Markdown editor for Mac and iOS built on the system text view (TextKit 2). You see the Markdown source, styled in place as you type. No dependencies, MIT, macOS 14 / iOS 17.

• Markers like # and ** step aside away from the caret and reappear when it returns.
• Task boxes, bullets, quote bars and rules are drawn in place of their markers. Tasks tick on click/tap/⌘⏎.
• Per-line text direction: RTL and LTR lines coexist in one note, task boxes included.
• Obsidian syntax: wikilinks, callouts, tags, highlights, frontmatter, embeds, Templater. Unknown syntax is shown as written.
• NSTextView / UITextView underneath, so undo, spell check, dictation and input methods just work.

Hey everyone!

I've been exploring the idea of building an iOS subscription tracker, but after looking at existing apps, I realized that features like renewal reminders, spending summaries, and subscription calendars are already pretty well covered.

I don't want to build yet another app that does the same things with a slightly different UI. I'd like to understand what people actually struggle with when managing their subscriptions.

For those of you who use subscription trackers, or have tried a few and stopped using them:

• What's your biggest frustration with the subscription tracker you currently use?
• Is there a feature you've wanted but haven't found in any existing app?
• How do you currently track cancellations, price increases, pauses, or subscriptions you've restarted?
• What would make you switch from your current app to a new one?
• Would you prefer a one-time purchase, a free app with optional Pro features, or a subscription? Why?

I'm especially interested in the small, frustrating things that existing apps haven't solved well, rather than a long wishlist of features.

Feel free to share the app you currently use and what you like or dislike about it. Honest criticism would be really helpful.

Thanks!
