The Newsletter

I build and ship indie apps around a full-time job — Loonie Logs, RoundForge, Plant Care, and a few more in various stages. Small, focused apps, built end to end and live in the app stores.

This newsletter is about how they get built. You'll get:

• Debugging stories — crash logs from phones I don't own, App Store rejections, the bug that only fires for users without an Apple Watch.
• React Native pushed into native territory — Apple Watch apps in Swift, Live Activities and the Dynamic Island, HealthKit, all from an Expo project.
• AI coding tools in a one-person workflow — what actually works when you're shipping multiple apps solo, and where it goes wrong.
• The unglamorous store stuff — review adventures, ASO with a 100-character budget, pricing, and everything between "works on my phone" and "live."

Two rules, same as ten years ago: I only write from hands-on experience, and I only email when I have something worth your inbox. No schedule, no fluff. Unsubscribe anytime, no hard feelings.

Who's writing? I'm Jorge Vergara — full stack developer by day, indie app shipper by night (well, mostly Sunday evenings, I have the commit history to prove it 🙈).
