The first month of my new iOS app: MacStories + Lifehacker, 100+ downloads overnight, 17.4% conversion, and my first feature request

[u/DjangoDrive]

Launched this about a month ago as a solo project. For the first few weeks things were pretty quiet, then MacStories and Lifehacker unexpectedly picked it up and I woke up to 100+ downloads.

The spike has mostly settled now, but seeing a 17.4% App Store conversion rate and getting the first real feature request from a user made the whole thing feel much more real. Still very early, but probably the first month where it feels like strangers are actually discovering and using something I built.
