bad news: design twitter found this tweet
good news: they’re poor
Feel like I'm going to regret sharing this but you can show a retention offer when a user tries to close your app.
.defersSystemGestures(on: .bottom) is intended to prevent accidental home swipes when playing games but it works just as well on your paywall.
Community note
This technique blocks the standard swipe-to-dismiss gesture on paywalls, violating App Review Guideline 2.5.9 which prohibits altering native UI behaviors users expect. developer.apple.com/app-store/revi… The API is intended for immersive experiences. developer.apple.com/documentation/…

Apple's ~6 week developer payout delays are not a mistake or a technical quirk. Apple processes ~$100B in app purchases per year which means they’re sitting on ~$10–12B in cash at any given time. At ~4–5% interest, that’s ~$550M/year… just from the delayed payout float.

ZeroSettle (@ZeroSettle) is building a drop-in direct billing SDK for in-app purchases.
It takes 15 minutes to integrate instantly unlocks zero App Store fees, higher retention, and instant payouts.
Congrats on the launch, @gaberoeloffs & @relliott3131!

We’re sending out our first batch of fresh pressed juices to mobile app leaders (overnight ofc). QR code goes to calculator that shows how much “juice you can squeeze” by avoiding 30% Apple tax and using @zerosettle for in app purchases instead!

so apple takes 30% of robux, then roblox takes 84% of remaining revenue. what's next, a roblox game that has its own platform fee?
Threadguy explains how Roblox extracts 85% from users
“If someone spends $100 on your game that you created, you will receive $16 after off ramping and cashing out. You lose 84% pre-tax.
"Roblox as a company has an absolute behemoth of a business, which is why they’re a publicly traded company worth $55B. It’s basically as big as Coinbase”

wait, market making and matchmaking are the same thing?
prediction markets will replace dating apps.
i want to go on a nice date.
i make a prediction market about whether someone will go on a date with me and load $100 into "no".
a girl sees it and accepts to on on a date with me.
before meeting up with me, she bets yes.
we go on the date.
the market resolves to "yes" and she gets $100 and I have a girlfriend.
rest in peace dating apps.

Cash is instant and final. Cards are digital and convenient. Stablecoins finally combine the two, which is why merchants will love them.

you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a pm
If I hit this dictation button after sending a text and it beeps and stops my music one more time,
I’m gonna find everyone at apple and put them in a rear naked choke hold
Even if I turn off dictation I somehow hit the voice note thing
The send button should not have multiple functions in the same spot

This looks like an easy way to make 5k
Say your tax burden is 50k - just put 50k on NO.
If income tax stays, you make 5k + interest.
If it does end, bummer, but that was going to govt anyway.

Network fees are necessary, but exposing them isn’t. Requiring SOL to send USDC is like Venmo requiring a small euro balance to send dollars. Needs to be abstracted away or consumer crypto won’t scale.
