The business side of indie development

This is a pause in usual feature development to think about the business side of running an app.

Most updates here are about features, performance improvements or bug fixes. This one is a bit more business-ey.

I am incredibly grateful for everyone who supports Value Study through subscriptions, lifetime purchases, reviews and word of mouth. The app would not exist without that. This update is about making sure that artists discovering the app for the first time see what it can do straight away.

I have reworked the onboarding flow and the paywall to better introduce the app and show its value from the very start. I am also putting more time into the YouTube channel, making videos that help newcomers get started and that highlight new features as they arrive.

Every review, every email, every shared screenshot helps Value Study reach more artists. Thank you for keeping an independent app going.
