Happy holidays! This release further expands on customization options for my journaling app. Sadly, still no organic purchases, but I am still hopeful that reaching the right market, expanding the catalogue of customization options, and given some time that it will happen.
The plan is to expand the items users can select from for the current item types (background images, patterns, frames, confetti) and reach out to people in online journaling communities to get feedback.
I have some annoying bugs & optimizations I am trying to work on and currently stuck! It never fails to discourage me, but I haven't given up quite yet.
In terms of monetization I am also planning on adding the ability to make photo and audio posts, and preventing the number of journals a user can have unless the user pays for a premium subscription. Unlimited access to customization options will also be available via subscription.
On a personal note, I've had a lot of doubts and I'm not sure how much longer I can or want to work on this app full-time, but I've re-committed myself to hitting at least another couple of milestones before I make a decision.
