That's the rules - If you look at Amazons Kindle app - there is nowhere in the app to buy a book. Your app is like a "viewer app" if you have a subscription you can use the app.
If you want to sell something, use Apples in-app payments and pay the 30% feee.
Apps in the Apple App Store, must use the payment system.
You cannot offer a system to pay for you app outside the App Store.
Eg Twitter does something smart, if you subscribe for twitter in the App Store it's 30% more (to account for the Apple tax). If you subscribe to twitter through the browser it's 30% cheaper.
So your options are pretty simple. People can subscribe through a browser (not your app and you app cannot have links to this payment page).
Then in your app, when user logs in, they can have access to paid features.
Or you just use Apple's subscription / payments system.
@sponno so how do the users know about the browser payment page if we can't link to it? I'm assuming Apple is checking marketing websites for links too, right?

expireddomains.net search through these and see if there is something interesting, for the domains by the "dp" column. Then use ahrefs.com/backlink-checker to figure out how good the domain really is.
I've just discovered I have the same problem.
I've checked out FastMail and ForwardEmail. Both looks really good.
When I buy my domains I use NameCheap and they have a pretty good email service I've used before $1.24/month. It's pretty straight forward and works well for basic email.
- Email redirection is free in NameCheap with your domain.
Thanks José – I didn't see the 24 hour pass – thats cool. I've seen the online-convert before.
Well I've hacked the traffic a bit, I've bought an old domain name that now points to this one. It cost about $300USD and had 70,000 backlinks (apparently) and has a ahrefs domain rank of 26. Ive bought a few other dead domains that were similar. So I've got a little bit of SEO juice (let's see if I'm right about this).
I also think there are lots of different options around types of tools you can have, privacy, and maybe even a dedicated server for $$$. But who knows.
At the moment the idea was a site to generate traffic for goodsign.io but now it seems to be an idea with some legs.
nice! how do you go and find those domains?

Hey David,
Site is very cool, awesome to see so many jobs there.
Since this is a ROAST!!! Starting my flame thrower...
1. Your little boxes with the letter in them, are not very helpful. Maybe use
clearbit.com/logo Free api service to get logo – just feed it the company name (very cool).
The list on the front page doesn't make sense. But showing you have 7,830 active jobs does. Maybe browser by employer first? Location first?
I think the the browser by job/location/remote/tag shouldn't be a top menu, should be attached to the main list. Possibly could be four different dropdowns
[Location] [remote] [tag] and clicking the drop down, eg location – you could select you location.The descriptions body text is pretty average.
I've used the chatGTP api to turn unstructured text into markdown.
Here's an example job description to markdown. you can do this via the API
chat.openai.com/share/c5960b7…
at 1c for the API call - it would cost 7400*0.01 = $74 bucks. I think that is worth it to massively improve the content and formatting. (if its 3c then thats a bit more).
I noticed some job ads had a salary range. I bet you could summarise and get the salary range out of ChatGPT.
Would be interesting if @julianrubisch and his AI resume generator worked together.
The job description is probably too wide. Ideally about 12 words wide at the maximum. I counted about 16, I would consider making it narrow so it's easier to read, at 16 words, it makes it hard for the eye to find the start of the next sentence.
// end roast //
Good work man! Awesome to see you've got a lot of content in there. Very cool
I like the idea, I wonder if you can generate any revenue from it?
Maybe you could charge recruiters for access? That would be an interesting take.
🤔 actually not bad, though not what I had in mind initially.
And I think demand can be easily validated by doing a manual process first. Quite niche, yes, but thinking about how many indie makers, designers etc are out there with their own portfolio sites… why not have an external tool handle your „about“ page?
I guess I‘ll put up a simple intake form and show it around. Maybe some people submit it, then I can try producing resumes manually, then slowly start automating stuff around it
Perfect - you can always manually do a partial refund if it comes to it. But I doubt it's going to be big problem.
