300 Active Installs on Android

Since launching about 3 months ago the project has grown organically only from Search App Optimization. We really think that it has potential to grow to at least 10k AU.

If it continues this upward trend we have in plan to make some more updates to the app in order for the users to receive only notifications about the favorites coding languages.

We will launch the iOS version also in about 1 month time.

    Why not make a robot that posts to social media? Make 1 account per language. Then, if I want JS news, I can just follow the channel. Host your content online and you will be cross platform instantly and you remove the hurdle of having to install an app and having specific hardware.

    How to you create your content? Based on the screenshot you have many articles each day.

      That's a pretty unique idea :D I think that by having an app on your phone you have a more personal relathionship with your users and it validates the product a bit more. If one person doesn't like the app anymore he/she simply uninstalls it.

      Currently we have a bunch of sources where the API fetches the top news from each and groups them into categories.

      For us it was pure luck. I think we use good keywords in the title and description - "Code News - News for Programmers" and maybe the icon and the screens shots helped too, but we don't really know what exactly grow our daily traffic. It is not much but it's growing organically. We are very curious to see how long it will remain on this path of growing.
