Super excited to share a bit the result of my little obsession with self tracking. Next year I want to have even more data and hopefully I'll find more interesting correlations and insights!

mhmm, I never considered direct contact, I thought it might be too intrusive. The websites you provided seems nice, I'll definitely check them out

Thank you, your reply is extremely helpful. I have some questions:

Can you expand on item 2? Also, I'm having trouble finding places where I can find the kind of clients that are looking for quality over fast and cheap solutions, UpWork is not that place and I don't have enough quality contacts (I don't have conferences to go near where I live).

Re:Ask HN: I have some questions as a new iOS Freelancer on Thursday March 17, 2016 @04:50PM (#11307492)
I don't have enough quality contacts to find these clients. And this kind of work is not common where I live so I don't have conferences to go... Do you have any suggestions?

Hmm, it might make sense, but, correct me if I'm wrong, there's almost no room for more expensive freelancers on UpWork. At least I don't see where they (we) would fit.

Ask HN: I have some questions as a new iOS Freelancer

Hey HN,I've been working in a small startup as an iOS freelancer for almost 2 years (bug fixing, features implementation, etc). I landed this contact by publishing two apps to the App Store (one got a fairly good amount of downloads) and doing some small gigs.Anyway, I have some free time now because this small startup doesn't have much work for some time. My first reaction was to go after some...

Re:New jailbreak available for iOS7 by the evad3rs on Sunday December 22, 2013 @03:44PM (#6951661)
Saurik did know about the Chinese company and tried to warn Evad3rs about piracy, but I read that Evad3rs thought that the app had nothing to do with piracy. [1]

I was very undecided about make it free, paid or in-app and I wasn't comfortable with none of them so I decide to release it paid and see how thing goes.

Maybe another version will be like that. Also why do you think it should be free with in-app?

Do you think it would impact somehow in sales?

SEEKING WORK - Brazil (Espirito Santo) or Remote - Long or Short Term Projects

I'm an iOS developer very open to new ideas and too search and learn how to do exactly what you want. I'm very accessible and I like to keep in touch with my clients because I think that good work is when the user have their app exactly as they want it to be.

I've been working on: -SongBox an app that's already in the store, I've been maintaining it for the last 2 updates. More than maintaining I've implemented several features that were not ready. -A bingo app for a guy here from Brazil. It's still in -development after that we still need to get a designer to send to the store. It's relative big so it's taking some time. -I've helped with a app called Metrolinea it's an app about Barcelona's metro. (I don't really know if it's already in the store because I just helped a little) -I'm currently working on updates and a new app related to Song Box that don't take much time. If you want I can ask someone to talk about me to you.

Ask HN: Paid app as open-source

Hello HN, I'm creating an iOS app that I plan to release as paid, but I also would like it to be open-source so it can helpful to others and get help from other developers. My question is: is it possible for a paid iOS app to be open-source?
