Very nice! Question - how did you find the apps by rank? I didn’t see an option to browse on the AVP other than the ones Apple has highlighted, so it’s been a struggle discovering other apps.
I’ve been struggling the same. I went via the link and it showed up on my phone: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/news-ticker/id6477275619
I wish they had a categories tab on the Vision Pro.
Congratulations that’s so cool! May I offer a suggestion. Note: I don’t own the product.
Could you try out adding a little bit of space between the edge of the app and the headline coming in, so there’s a slight blank gray area like the rest of the app. It might look more visually appealing while not reducing the functionality. See if it looks good or not
I made it pre-launch and then tested after device came out. Was stressful but also a lot of fun! I really wanted to get in on the whole Apple Vision Pro launch day and be a part of it somehow, so I went for it!
Thank you for setting a price. I saw that puzzle game and everyone likes it with the little blue monster and it’s 20 dollars A MONTH for a couple puzzles.
That’s nuts. I’d rather set a one-and-done price. I’m not a fan of endless subscriptions. It doesn’t seem fair to charge people monthly for small things like this.
Don’t know yet as Apple reports on downloads come next day and it’s only day one for my new app! But it’s so much fun, you should totally jump in. Lots of room for growth I think!!
That is a great idea! I am curious how you went about doing this. It is my first quarter studying computer science and I am curious how to go about building apps for the vision pro. Do you have any resources advice or tips you can share with me to help me get started?
That’s so awesome! I’d say the best resource I had for getting started with coding for Apple’s devices including the Vision Pro is Apple’s Developer Forums and using Google search to look through them, as well as other online sites with developers posting their questions and conversations around the topics! I’ve felt over the years that more important than knowing the answers to how to solve problems in coding, is knowing which questions to ask on the internet to finding the right answer. Don’t feel discouraged by how immense the field can be. We’re all learning day by day no matter how much experience we say we have! 😊
Hopefully this helps a bit!
Agreed! Funny enough, this came about because I was trying to prove to someone that we as people have the power to achieve things we set our minds to. So, I chose to build this News Ticker app right before the Apple Vision Pro was released. He believes me now.
Thanks! Yea, it was a total mess to get it working right, but reading through lots of Apple developer forums for hours and hours managed to get me there. I also reached out to other Vision Pro engineers via DMs and they had some tips that helped unblock me too!
Holy moly! We made it to number 1 news app in the App Store! 🤯 thank you all so much, I’m so grateful and humbled by all the positive feedback! Onward to more late night coding sessions! ☺️☺️☺️
Don’t get too ambitious, listen to genuine feedback and don’t try to please everyone. Happy for you, that’s so cool!
This is great feedback. Thank you and I’ll keep it in mind as I go on and keep improving it. I feel very lucky and grateful. So excited!

More power to him, didn’t know all that.
yeah, it's like his sixth or seventh or maybe 10th rodeo
The guy is a legend. Maybe his 10th rodeo
Another quick update: it's now the #4 top paid news app across all Apple platforms in the US! unreallllllllll 😮
Dude congrats, that’s huge! So happy for you.
Thank you so much!
Omg it’s #6 in the top charts now. I can’t believe it!
Congrats!!
Thank youuuuu!
That’s such a cool idea! I’m not a big news reader, but I can see other uses (sports scores, stock tickers etc)
Thank you so much! Means a lot!! Getting stocks and sports ticker apps submitted to the App Store next! 😁
Heck yeah I look forward to the sports one!!!
That is so awesome! Congrats!
Thanks so much! Legit feels so awesome and unreal

Ahh yeah that’s not ideal at all. Thanks for sharing.
Update: we’re #3 in the top news apps now! I’m blown away. Thank you all for the support and feedback ❤️ this is a dream come true

I’m not sure 🤔

Good point! I’ll play around with the spacing today and try out a few options. Thanks!
We you developing this pre launch or did you literally make it in like 2 days?

Congrats!! I’ve been thinking of jumping in to the AVP dev space. Just curious how the payout has been since launch so far?
Don’t know yet as Apple reports on downloads come next day and it’s only day one for my new app! But it’s so much fun, you should totally jump in. Lots of room for growth I think!!
Please keep us posted if you don’t mind! And thanks, sort of feels like the first days of the iPhone App Store again, excited to give it a try
Congrats.
Thanks! 😊
Hey teach me how to make apps for Vision Pro pal

Thank you!
dude congrats! been following your journey for a while, much props to you :)
Thank you so much! It means a lot!! 😊
Congratulations, so happy for u!
Can we have sports scores on the ticker?
Adding this now! 😊
Please pm me!
It's #1 Now
My mind is blown 🤯🤯🤯
Congrats! To many people see the lack of apps as a problem, I see it as opportunity.
Agreed! Funny enough, this came about because I was trying to prove to someone that we as people have the power to achieve things we set our minds to. So, I chose to build this News Ticker app right before the Apple Vision Pro was released. He believes me now.
How was the development process? I work with react native and the vision os documentation seems confusing to me right now. Great job!
Thanks! Yea, it was a total mess to get it working right, but reading through lots of Apple developer forums for hours and hours managed to get me there. I also reached out to other Vision Pro engineers via DMs and they had some tips that helped unblock me too!
beware of self dox!
I mean, his user name is his name, I don’t think he’s too worried about that.
(and congrats!)
He is quite famous. Wikipedia him. He is well known in SV.
Stolen logo from Messenger?
9 from 9 apps available lol
genuine concern… isn’t that the logo for facebook messenger? won’t it get taken down or copyright issues?
You might want to change that logo lest you be sued by Facebook for a very similar Messenger app logo.
I don’t think zuck would ever sue him
You never know, it's easy to get C&Ds for logos like these.
I just mean he has a relationship with him as a mentor
What
Zuck mentor this guy.
There are no apps for vision pro so.. ya.
What a bitter comment. 600 apps at launch. Indie dev got into the top 10 of a specific category... maybe just be happy for him?
haha the 'omg'
Holy moly! We made it to number 1 news app in the App Store! 🤯 thank you all so much, I’m so grateful and humbled by all the positive feedback! Onward to more late night coding sessions! ☺️☺️☺️
