Weekly Review 5

Sun Dec 22 2024

I pushed Bookie update 1.15.1, refocused on four apps for 2025, saw my MRR bounce back, updated my website, and will focus on setting goals and university projects next week.

I have big news! Last week I promised to reorganize my time to find time to push finally an update to Bookie? It’s happened, well I found time on Sunday’s evening haha but I’m happy to share it’s been delivered, and later today I will push it to Connect. The update 1.15.1 will entail new view for reading challenge so you see all books at a glance and a fix to Stats page.

Starting 2025, my main focus will be only 4 apps. I will be doubling down, but it’s necessary + the 4th app is not released yet. However, I strongly want to build it soon. It’s about gym tracking stuff so stay tuned.

Interestingly and surprisingly, my MRR finally seems to have fixed itself. After a month of an all-of-a-sudden downtime, which I’m not sure why even happened, we are back to higher levels!

App Updates

In November, I experimented with increasing price for Bookie+, and noticed a slight decrease in number of sales. The experiment’s now ended and results speak for itself. I think I found the sweet spot for Bookie.

Christmas season is here, and the Christmas sales from last year also seem to be back and are the most satisfying to watch! I have high hopes for 2025, I hope the big surge from January 2024 will now see its after effects and all-high earnings, most probably.

Website

Now the biggest update of all yet, I updated my website. You can check it out here: kubamilcarz.com. I wrote it using Next JS and omg I fell in love with that. It’s so much better than plain html, and then I generated an output using gh pages package.

Next week is Christmas and so my only focus for the week will be to set goals, edit YouTube videos, and deliver projects for the university. Settings goals tho is the priority to have a framework to work on next year! Exciting times!

See ya
