</figure><br><br>I have a lot of things on my list to add and improve, but I didn't want to keep it secret any longer.<br><br>The launch along with app submissions from people was pretty nice test. I think the catalog held up quite well but there were also a few submission errors - mostly related to newly released apps without release notes which I hotfixed this morning.<br><br>Since iOS 15 is launching soon, I want to create <strong>special section on the homepage with apps "Ready for iOS 15" </strong>- so if you have such app, let me know! (Thanks to Jordi Bruin for this idea).<br><br>Next I want to <strong>offer API</strong> so others can perhaps build apps for catalog? Or perhaps use the API for tutorials about JSON parsing instead of using some random data. Who knows.<br><br>Don't want to brag too much but I am really happy with the current state. The catalog is 100% responsive and I don't have single media query in my CSS.<br><br>Thanks for reading!<br><br>PS: Here is the launch <a href="https://twitter.com/nemecek_f/status/1438545410545668097">tweet</a>.<br><br>Filip</div>

<div>Hey 👋,<br><br>I have actually checked the list of finished stuff from the <a href="https://world.hey.com/filip.nemecek/indieappscatalog-progress-update-2-680cfeab">previous update</a> and almost thought there is nothing new to report 😅<br><br>That's mostly because I have been working on not so visible stuff.<br><br><strong>What is done:</strong><br>- Error logging (love Sentry btw)<br>- Logic to update existing apps<br>- Better search that does ranking and searches thorough multiple fields (app name, description and more)<br>- App screenshots on detail pages with option to switch between categories and "show more" button<br>- "Random app" button<br>- Option to sort apps Recently released / Recently updated / Alphabetically<br>- Button to display QR code for download on app detail<br>- And the evergreen "minor improvements and bugfixes" 😁<br><br>I also want to say big thank you to <a href="https://twitter.com/DanielKasaj">Daniel Kašaj</a> for many great UX/UI tips and awesome icons for categories!<br><br><br><strong>Future ideas:</strong><br>- Show app App Store anniversaries on homepage and app detail with some visual flair<br>- Let developers post "news" about their apps (like a short two paragraphs detailing recent update)<br>- Account creation with option to create custom app collections (select ones would be featured on the homepage)<br>- Section to spotlight "underdog" apps (= those that have few ratings)<br><br><br>And here is a bonus for reading the entire thing, at at least skimming to the end :D <br><br>The catalog is actually <a href="https://indiecatalog.app/">live</a> and you check it out today! But <strong>it is not public yet</strong>, so please don't share it just yet. Do submit your apps though 👍<br><br></div><div><br><br>Thanks.<br><br>Filip</div>

<div>Hey 👋,<br><br>The hashtag is different because I decided to rebrand it as a catalog instead of store. <br><br>Since the last update I worked on and mostly finished:<br>- search<br>- submit form<br>- apps by platform/dev/category<br>- bigger cards showing app updates with release notes<br>- better header<br>- app detail page<br>- updated card design (still not super great, but I think quite improved from v1)<br>- pagination<br>- I have bought a domain 🤫<br><br><br><strong>I want to launch this as early as possible to start getting feedback</strong>. However until that happens I would like to improve search and offer page to filter apps (for example <em>Apple TV apps updated in the last 3 months</em>). I think filtering like this could be very useful for journalists looking for apps to spotlight.<br><br>As you may know from <a href="https://iosfeeds.com/">iOS Feeds</a>, I like "random" buttons and want to include some here as well.<br><br>Many years when I was developing <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Phone">Windows Phone</a> apps, there was one news site where you could as a developer submit story about your app and it would get published - I think something similar could be win-win for the indie catalog.<br><br>Here are some preview screenshots:<br><br> <figure class="attachment attachment--preview attachment--lightboxable attachment--png">

<div>So I have officially started building "Indie Apps Catalog" and decided to share ocassional progress update here. Feel free to follow along and don't hesitate to send me any feedback.<br><br>Since I have worked with the iTunes Lookup API in the past <em>(this returns info about any app, song, movie..)</em> the start was pretty quick. So far my datamodel has App, Category & Developer. And there is working import from the App Store URL.<br><br>One funny challenge was that due to the fact that the API returns similarly structured data for wildly different things <em>(for example name of the app is under the key `trackName`)</em> it was hard to know which platforms are supported. I am using like a four different ways to identify supported platforms 🤪<br><br>I am currently trying to build as much frontend as I can in MVP fashion to test out my model and assumption. So I can verify if my planned features work with what API provides and how I save it to database.<br><br><strong>The homepage currently lists "Recently added" apps, categories and "Recently updated" apps</strong>. Here is a sneak peek (I have quickly went through the Indie Dev Monday and submitted some apps for testing):<br><br> <figure class="attachment attachment--preview attachment--lightboxable attachment--png">

</figure><br><br>Another item in my to-dos for near future is to find suitable color scheme and stuff like button styles, what to show on cards etc.<br><br>No progress with the naming, but I think it should say "store" in the name to make it super clear, that this won't (and can't) work like "alternative App Store". <br><br>Thanks for reading!<br><br></div><div>Filip</div>

<div>EDIT: Even though I am talking about "iOS", I plan to make this catalog to encompass all the Apple platforms. Which means iPadOS, macOS, watchOS and even tvOS.<br><br>My idea to create "indie apps catalog" got very positive feedback on <a href="https://twitter.com/nemecek_f/status/1428307752284270592">Twitter</a> so I decided to go ahead with it.<br><br>So far my plan is to create catalog/directory/list into which anyone can submit an indie app. The <strong>submission will be App Store URL</strong>, which let's me easily download basic info from App Store API.<br><br>I plan to use the same categories as App Store to sort the apps along with "recently added" category. In the future there could be recommendations powered by visitors, collections <em>(like to-do apps, weather apps etc)</em>.<br><br>My hope is that this would with time get popular beyond the iOS dev community and would be visited by iOS users who like discovering new apps.<br><br><strong>I have no idea what should this be called</strong>. So I am open to suggestions. I think it would be wise to avoid having "app store" in the name. And available .com domain would be super nice.<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>Filip</div>

<div><br>We all somewhat know that exercise is beneficial for our health. But for me, that was always a pretty abstract statement.<br><br>So I was super excited when the book <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/557099/exercised-by-daniel-e-lieberman/">Exercised by Daniel Lieberman</a> came out some months back. It looks at exercise and similar topics with the scientific and evolutionary lens with fascinating detail.<br><br>For me the most eye-opening discovery when reading this was that when you exercise (or do any physical activity that requires some effort) the body starts all kinds of repair mechanisms designed to fix any damage that occurs during this activity - like torn fibers in muscles and similar. <strong>The key point is that this repair keeps going even after it fixes the damage done by exercise and so it also repairs damage incurred by other means.</strong><br><br>And since for most of our existence, we had to move quite often, these repair mechanisms didn't evolve to start up without any exercise.<br><br>The book references many large studies over many years that show various health benefits for people who exercise regularly. Anything from longer life span to dramatically reduced risk from many diseases.<br><br>There were also innumerable fascinating "<em>nuggets</em>" of information like the fact that among the Hadza people (sort of like modern hunter-gatherers) 70-year-olds have comparable grip strength to people in their 30s. Thanks to a lifetime of being active.<br><br>Exercised ends with some exercise recommendations which may be helpful to get started.</div>
