- giarc 9y agoExcept the author gave 4 or 5 great tips on how to achieve the goal of getting featured.
- fragsworth 9y agoIt's not really like winning the lottery. There's a lot of different kinds of promotional features they can give you, with different levels of publicity. You just have to make a high quality app that does something useful or new (or a good game), and ask their editorial team if they can promote your app. They'll usually give you some kind of promotion on the store. It's "editor's choice" and the other front/center features that you might equate to "winning the lottery". And yeah, you can't expect that unless you've already made something huge.
- folli 9y agoand how do you actually contact the editorial team?
- wahnfrieden 9y agoIf you look around there are ways to reach them. The author of A Dark Room made a thorough post on this on Reddit but he’s since taken it down; maybe there’s an archive.
- annekate 9y agogo to local Mac/iOS dev meetups and ask around. they also show up at conferences and of course at WWDC.
- annekate 9y agoIt’s not a lottery. I’ve done it several times over many years with different products and companies. The advice I laid out is basically how I did that. Of course you can’t control if you are featured or not just like you can’t control if you get a writeup in a big publication. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give yourself the best chance of getting it.
- meteor333 9y agoIt would be great, if you can write a dedicated post on it. Im interested to learn more tips. Thanks
