Instagram meets Photoshop

Hello! I’m Karen Gillan. You might know as me Ruby Roundhouse in Jumanji, Nebula in Avengers or Amy Pond in Doctor Who. Lovely to meet you.

I’m here to tell you about my new app, Ditto. I was inspired to make an app after seeing how my friends use photo editing as a means of communication.

Whether it’s a running joke, making fun of each other or even flirting; in my opinion, editing is a new type of conversation. I’m excited to be creating a new social network focussing on the creativity of collaboration. Think Instagram meets Photoshop.

So here’s the thing...I’ve built the beta version and now I’m looking for iOS engineers to join me on a weird and wonderful journey for a few months. So if you are a creative coder who also happens to love Doctor Who or Marvel movies, you’re gonna want in on this. Just kidding, you don’t have to be a Sci-Fi fan. Although you really should know which actor played Worf in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

You can submit applications here.

When the time is right, I’ll be back to explain this app in more detail. I can’t wait to share it with you all and start some awesome collaborations! Please sign up here to be the first to know what happens next.

(Oh, the answer is Michael Dorn by the way.)

Grow your app with Setapp: revenue, users, & AI

You shipped the app. Now comes the part nobody warns you about.

Billing across dozens of countries. Licensing agreements. Tax compliance. Customer support for users you haven't met yet. And if your app does anything with AI, add provider management and infrastructure costs to the pile. None of that is why you started building — but all of it is now your problem.

Setapp is trying to take it off your plate.

You probably know Setapp as the subscription marketplace — one monthly price, hundreds of Mac apps. On May 21st, they turned toward developers. The pitch is simple: list your app, reach users who are already looking, and let Setapp handle the business layer.
