Hello,

I’m a developer interested in building SaaS products, but I’m not sure how important UI/UX design skills are .

Do I really need UI/UX design skills to start building SaaS products?

Would love to hear how indie developers and founders handle this.

Thanks.

Hello,

I’m a front-end developer and I see many SaaS developers offering their desktop apps on both Windows and macOS.

What is the best framework today for developing cross-platform desktop apps?

I’m mainly considering things like:

- Performance

- Good macOS support

- Modern UI

- Easy development workflow

I don’t really want to use SwiftUI because temperatures are very high in my city, so I prefer developing on a normal Windows desktop PC and only using a MacBook when necessary (notarization, signing, testing, etc.).

What would be the best option for my situation?

I already have a front-end background with React/Tailwind/JavaScript.

Thanks.

Is that True ?

Hello everyone,

I want to publish macOS (not mobile) applications, but Apple does not support In-App Purchases or subscriptions through Apple Developer accounts in my country.

So I have a few questions:

• Can I manage payments completely outside Apple using services like Stripe, LemonSqueezy, Paddle, etc.?
• Can I use an Apple Developer account only for macOS distribution (Code Signing + Notarization) without using App Store or In-App Purchases?
• I saw some apps (for example on sites like trustmrr) that are not on the App Store and still use Stripe for subscriptions. Is this a common/allowed approach?

My goal is to distribute macOS apps directly from my website and use Apple Developer only to make the app run properly on macOS without security warnings.

Would love to hear from anyone who has experience with this setup.

Thanks in advance!

Bonjour,

Je suis marocain, j’ai un niveau C2 en français, un diplôme Bac+2, ainsi que 5 ans d’expérience dans la fonction publique.

Je voudrais savoir s’il existe de réelles opportunités d’immigration vers le Canada grâce aux tirages francophones (Entrée Express, programmes francophones, etc.).

Est-ce que mon profil pourrait être intéressant pour immigrer au Canada ?
Et quels programmes seraient les plus adaptés dans mon cas ?

Merci d’avance pour vos conseils et retours d’expérience.

Hi everyone,

I’m considering creating a UK LTD company in order to open an Apple Developer Organization account, since Apple does not currently support in-app subscriptions for developer accounts in my country.

I wanted to ask if anyone here has experience doing something similar.

A few questions I have:

• Does Apple accept Wise or Revolut cards for paying the Apple Developer Program?
• Has anyone faced verification issues when the company owner is not residing in the UK?
• Are there any important legal, banking, or tax considerations I should be aware of before proceeding?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences or any advice you may have.

Thank you!

Hey everyone,

I’m a solo developer and I’ve been thinking about getting into mobile game development.

I can't find a game dev job in my country

I’m not aiming to build a huge hit or start a studio. My goal is much smaller and more realistic (I think?):

→ Make around $2,000 total within ~1 to 1.5 years from mobile games

I’m curious about a few things:

• Is this actually realistic in today’s mobile market?
• Does it mostly come down to marketing, or can simple games still get traction organically(ios app store)?
• Are ads (AdMob, etc.) enough at that scale?

I’m trying to treat this as a side hustle / indie experiment, not a full-time business.

Would love to hear honest experiences

Thanks 🙏

Hello everyone,

Can you tell me how you learned Chrome extension development?

I already learned HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Tailwind, and React, but I still don’t know how to actually start building Chrome extensions.

Is it hard to learn?

When I see extensions on the Chrome Web Store, I honestly don’t know where to start or how people build things like that.

Any advice, learning resources, or beginner projects would really help.

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,

Where can I find simple Chrome extensions for learning purposes?

I want to start building Chrome extensions using WXT. I already have a background in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and basic React, and I’ve been learning WXT recently.

The problem is I understand the basics, but I don’t really know how to start building real projects from scratch. I’m looking for simple extension examples or beginner-friendly projects that I can rebuild to learn properly.

If you have any recommendations , I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks!
