Relaunched my first product, QRcode, after years on the shelf

QRcode is a QR/barcode scanner and generator for Android, and it's the first product under my new

company, Technoitic. The app itself isn't new - it launched back in 2020 and ran quietly for years

until Google delisted it for targeting an outdated API level (a routine compliance requirement, not

a quality or policy issue - just an easy thing for an unmaintained side project to fall behind on).

I rebuilt it from scratch this year (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, the works) rather than patch the old

codebase, added a Pro unlock (one-time purchase, not a subscription) for custom QR styling and

unlimited history, and relaunched it properly.

Currently focused on organic growth - SEO content, ASO, this kind of launch push - before

considering any paid acquisition. Happy to share specifics on what's worked/not worked as I go.

    Interesting that you're bringing back an older product rather than starting from zero. Curious whether the relaunch is attracting mostly existing users or entirely new ones.

        Makes sense. The new features should give you a useful read on how existing and new users respond differently.
