Encore: Concert Diary
Side project since May 2025. I built it in spare time to ship a real iOS app—and to dogfood Cursor in the build loop.
Encore is an iPhone concert diary: log shows with photo & video, track stats, add friends, see upcoming dates, keep a passport-style venue history, and get a year-end wrapped built around the gigs you actually went to.
What I shipped
I built the app in Swift / SwiftUI: navigation, persistence, App Store cadence (metadata, review cycles, crash triage), and iteration from user feedback. Feed, stats, friends, passport, upcoming, wrapped—the UI still has to work when you're tired and the room is loud.
Revenue is past $2k from paying users. Post-launch: fix what breaks, tighten onboarding when usage shows confusion, ship again.
After launch
I ship, read DMs and crash reports, fix, ship again—I handle support and analytics too.
Distribution
No ad budget. I post short video on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook—often from a few accounts—where concert fans already are for tickets, openers, and crowd clips.
