Hey HN, I'm a solo developer and I built Steps: Workout & Pedometer, an iOS pedometer and workout tracker. Last week, two German iOS publications wrote about the app. I didn't pitch them. I didn't send a press release. I didn't even know it was happening. I woke up to a spike in downloads, checked the analytics, and traced it back to their articles. That coverage pushed the app past $1,000 in sales. I still have no idea how they found the app. I'm wondering if anyone here has experience getting featured in publications, whether organically or through outreach. What worked for you? Any tips…

My friends and I made an app that uses your phone's camera to track and improve your form. It'll give you visual and verbal feedback for every rep in real time, ensuring accountability. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/firefly-fitness/id6464440707 (No, we don’t store or view any camera footage as you're working out.) The challenges and programs are free to try, no sign-ups or subscription required. (We do ask that you sign-up to save your stats). Just swipe down on the paywall. As a heads up, challenges and programs have pre-set strictness, so you’ll need to…

Over the last couple of months, I’ve been building a timer web app for myself that I use for workout and stretching sessions. My main use-case is gym routines that consist of repeatable sequences, e.g. where you are holding certain positions for a set time (rinse and repeat). The app counts down the program, beeps, and reads the activities out loud. Two things (I suppose) are special about it: - The timers are “programmable”, so you can freely express your own routines and procedures in a declarative notation. - The app is all static (no backend): the entire program is encoded in the URL and…

In 2013, I couldn’t find a decent interval timer for my workouts on the Android Market (Google Play wasn’t even called Google Play yet!). Could you believe that? Typing 'interval timer' returned nothing! So I decided to build a simple App while in college. Fast forward 12 years, that simple timer has grown into an ecosystem: Android, iOS, Wear OS, Apple Watch, and a coaching platform. All built solo, with no AI assistance, and redesigned 4 times to keep up with UI trends. Over the years I’ve learned a lot about long-term app maintenance, cross-platform challenges, and keeping codebases…

i built a heart rate zone training app for runners. ios + apple watch. custom zones, real-time haptics, post-run graphs. all the “smart” stuff you’d expect. but i never talked to a single runner before building it. not even myself lol. started as a thesis → kept building → added features → added a paywall (€4/month!) → launched it → and yeah… no one cared. zero feedback. zero users. just code in the void. i recently made the whole thing free. not trying to “sell” anything now — just seeing if it’s actually useful, and listening this time. curious how others handle this. ever build…
