SaaS is dead.
I advise the world's biggest companies on SaaS and I'll tell you where it's going and how it evolves in 11 minutes.
💯
One small but important piece of advice for indie developers:
Even if you’ve been using certain keywords in your title, icon, or screenshots for years, it’s time to rethink your metadata strategy.
“I’ve used these keywords for 5 years” or “But everyone else does it” won’t save you.
Apple has guidelines, and you’re responsible for following them.
I know it’s frustrating to see some developers get away with it while others lose their accounts. But if you want peace of mind, understand this: using someone else’s trademark in your title is a serious IP issue, even if it looks like an ordinary word.
Respect other people’s work and intellectual property.
And if you decide to remove potentially infringing keywords, be prepared for a brutal reality: your conversion rate might drop by up to 10x.
You’re no longer borrowing someone else’s brand to get downloads. You’re playing fair.
And that’s a completely different game.

We’re glowing with excitement over the new MacBook Pro. You’ve gotta touch it to believe it.

Introducing a free coding agent that runs locally on your iPhone - FreeMilk
- Free daily allowance of coding models: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, GPT 6 Luna, and GLM 5.3 Flash (will add more)
- Reads and writes files on-device with local git support
- GitHub integration to clone repos, check CI/CD logs and more.
- Connect to MCP servers straight from your iPhone, your credentials and keys stay on-device.
- Start multiple on-device agents at once in the background that can run for minutes or even hours. No remote control or cloud sandboxes needed.
- Built in on-device web browser that agent can take control when in foreground (still work-in-progress)
- Connect with your personal data on iPhone, such as Photos, Calendar, Reminders, and more.

Everything is starting to add up now on why so many developers have reportedly been wrongfully terminated.
Phil Schiller reportedly stepped back from running the App Store partly over concerns that Apple’s push for more revenue could deepen conflicts with developers.
He raised those concerns, stepped back, and soon after, developers began reporting sudden account terminations and lost livelihoods. Coincidence?
@Apple @cue @tim_cook @carsonoliver, developers helped build this ecosystem, yet our ability to reach users still depends heavily on your control over app distribution.
If your goal is to boost App Store revenue, compete fairly instead of making developers dependent on your store.
Let developers distribute outside the App Store. Competition could make your store better without forcing everyone to rely on it.
Internal leadership decisions shouldn't determine whether developers can support themselves and their families.
The iPhone remains successful because of the apps developers build and people open every day. Even as you're reading this, you're using an app originally built by fellow developer @jack, once called Twitter.
Apple, your leadership needs to recognize that and sit down with the next generation of developers.
We deserve a seat at the table to discuss the future of an ecosystem we helped build.
Speak to us, not just delete us.
We carry more weight than you think.
And this conversation is only going to get louder.
Damn this is too good.
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.
