Alexandre

Indie iOS developer. I shipped Livate with 0 users for 4 months, then kept going. I document what I actually build, with real numbers.

Why I write

To share what I go through as a solo iOS developer. The technical choices, the mistakes, the numbers. I publish data like 20€ in revenue for 480€ in infrastructure because that's exactly what I was looking for when I started and couldn't find anywhere.

To make tech news understandable. A lot happens every week in AI, iOS and indie dev. I read, I filter, and I try to explain what actually matters, with context.

And because I enjoy it. Building in public forces me to clarify my thinking. This blog is also a logbook that lets me trace my journey and measure how far I've come.
