    Programmer here, i built this app in my spare time, then went full time on it in Sept 2018 after quitting my full time job. Been doing a little contracting on the side but this app has grown quite nicely and now has more than a thousand subscribers. Doing mid 4 figure monthly revenue, which is more than I ever expected from an app of mine.

    How are the unit economics of using Apple Search ads for you? I've run some paid ads with projects but am wondering how you're approaching it in terms of ROI. I also have found that Apple Search Ads are better for apps because they also boost search rank in the App Store.

    Out of curiosity, at the risk of sounding off-topic and irrelevant... but are you an Emacs user?
