Under the Radar<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

In our final episode, we reflect on how indie app development has changed over the past decade.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Marco Arment<\/a>:<\/p>\n

We’re incredibly proud of our ten-year catalog of 30-minute discussions on development, marketing, monetization, work\/life balance, and mental health for app developers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

I really liked the 30-minute format and the breadth of topics: everything from API details to broader design considerations<\/a>, stats<\/a> from their own businesses, and postmortems, plus all the stuff he mentioned.<\/p>\n\n

Ricky Mondello<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I’ve listened to every episode of the Under the Radar, so I want to thank Marco and David for wearing their hearts on their sleeves while delivering a disciplined podcast that frequently jumped to the top of my queue.<\/p>

I’ve never been an indie software developer, but I found the podcast extremely insightful. It’s influenced how I’ve thought about my non-indie software development career, not just as someone delivering bits that indies use, but also as a product person who writes software as a means to an end.<\/p>

Some of my favorite topics touched on by the show have been taking risks, being willing to pivot when those risks don’t work out, keeping many different types of users in mind, and how to market one’s work and oneself (two different things that feed into each other!).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
