Compile Swift Podcast

Plinky and being featured on the AppStore with Joe Fabisevich


Listen Later

In this episode of the Compile Swift Podcast, host Peter Witham interviews Joe Fabisevich, an experienced iOS developer and indie app creator. Joe discusses his journey in app development, including his work at notable companies like Twitter and Bitly, and his transition to creating his app, Plinky. 


Plinky is a link-saving app designed for quick and customizable link organization. It features share extensions and an open API. Joe shares the app's origin story, which stemmed from his need to save and share links with his wife, Colleen. He emphasizes the app's speed, customizability, and extensibility, making it suitable for various users and workflows.


The conversation also touches on Joe's experience of getting Plinky featured in the App Store shortly after its launch, which he describes as a validating moment. He credits his wife, a product marketer, for her support in the marketing process. Joe highlights the importance of intrinsic motivation in app development and the value of connecting with users through customer support.

Listeners are encouraged to check out Plinky and follow Joe on social media.
