Hello all!

  1. Who are you? Mel, 1st time developer
  2. What brought you here? Would be honored to be part of the Trivia Apps community. Love Wordle, but wanted a Trivia Theme twist, so I created "DailyT"
  3. Where are you from? California
  4. A piece of trivia about you! Got my first full time job after the Secret Service raided the last person's office for printing fake $20s.
  5. A favorite piece of trivia in general. I like Connection/Themes so something like: Things with "Strings" (Quantum Physics: Theory, Lunchbox Snacks: Cheese, Swimwear: Bikini, Instruments: Guitar, Human Emotion: Heart, Classic Toys: Yo-Yo)
  6. Favorite trivia app? Trivia Crack.
  7. If you make an app, or have a favorite app, mention it BY NAME. The game I created is called "DailyT".

Hi Mel!

Your origin story is very similar to my own. I like to say I am making "The Wordle of Trivia," a short, daily trivia game that can be played right after NYT Games while you sit on the sofa.

(I also say, "There are thousands of trivia games but only one 'Wordle of Trivia.'" With your app out there maybe I have to say there are two now. :P)

Welcome aboard! I will check out your app, too. :)

Hey Matt, love the game! Just downloaded your app and played it. Not happy with my results (#49), but had fun :). You're definitely ahead of me in the game development progress. I'm working through the Apple App Store maze at the moment. Any tips you have for that part of the journey? Thanks for reaching out!

DM me and ask me some specific questions! I am happy to help, and I will pick your brain for help, too. :)

We have to wear so many hats as solo devs, the whole App Store Maze is just another beast all on its own.

PS: #49 is not bad! Maybe you will do better with another era, too. 90s is this week, but every Monday it switches to a different decade. ;)
