Hi I am Luca, ex- software engineer who is currently working as indie dev on a series of apps.
I launched 3 apps in 3 months while working a full time job. The reason why I am fast is that I have a series of modules I always use for my apps to avoid much boilerplate code to be written again and again.

As someone just starting to build an app, this toolkit is sensational

Modules Under Development
A great way to keep user retention high is by using gamification techniques, such as streaks and badges. This module will help keep track of usage and provide a customizable small widget to embed in your app to showcase user streaks and progress.
Are you building a game? This module is for you! Forget about handling game dynamics (moving between scenes), user touch control (or gamepad), user life, skills, quests, and journal. This module takes care of all of this using Apple SpriteKit and GameplayKit (Entity-Component framework). ~25K LOC.
Sending notifications is easy. Sending notifications at the right time with a great scheduler is hard. You don't want to annoy your users with too frequent notifications, but you want to send just enough to keep them engaged and maximize in-app time.
The Swift starter kit with all the boilerplate code you need to run an online business: a payment system, login, onboarding, paywall, and much more.
Every 1-2 weeks. I have more modules in the work. For instance, I am working on a notification manager that sends notifications at the right time to bring users back. Additionally, I am developing a gamification module that keeps track of streaks.
This is Apple quality code, written by an ex-Apple Senior Software Engineer.
After you've got access to the repo, ShipAppFast is yours forever, so it can't be refunded.
The only library used with associated costs is RevenueCat, which however requires 1% only if your app surpasses $2500 monthly recurring revenue.
Yes! You can send over the USD equivalent of the plan you want to purchase ($69 or $99) to my PayPal account: paypal.me/lucalupo87
Once done, please email me your GitHub username so I can give you access to the repo.
