I was working on HandleMe Premium today

Nice set of features for a lifetime in-app purchase that lets you:

- have multiple digital cards for different use cases and occasions
- unlock some of the premium themes for your cards and app-wide styling
- universal theme styling for all the cards you create

Pay this much to avoid paying them altogether in the long run

HandleMe is positioned to have better monetization potential than Ledgerly.

It’s all a cash-grab scheme we’re doing here.

Damn you, Apple

Here is the problem I am facing:
• Ethiopia is not an App Store region
• I was born in Ethiopia
• 98% of my audience is Ethiopian
• Of the Ethiopian audience, only 4% uses an iPhone
• Of the iPhone users living in Ethiopia and who happen to be my fan, 0.1% has Apple Wallet wired with a workaround

Solution:
* Use Chapa4iOS as an alternative paywall payment gateway (because why not?)
* Wrong, local peeps can only buy stuff from me or do tippings enji can't never purchase premium with such method

Wins:
* I got a lot comfortable using /goals, worktrees, and Claude Code
* I remembered I used to code by hand seeing the SDK I built 2 or more years ago

I caneled Codex and upgraded to Claude Max

How the tables turned... I am the one hitting my limit instead of Opus
