When I moved, I lost my #introductions post.
Hi! My name is Aleen [uh-lean], not Alan. I live in Seattle with my husband, J (@VioletPixel) and two cats, Fate and Raven.
I help indie iOS and Mac developers with the non-code side of launching their apps as well as some UX writing at https://applaunchmap.com. I'm also writing a Field Guide to help first-timers make sure they have their ducks in a row before they launch.
I podcast about creating and creativity on Originality (https://www.relay.fm/originality). I also sometimes talk about pop culture and books on The Incomparable (https://www.theincomparable.com) and play Dungeons and Dragons (https://www.theincomparable.com/tpk/).
I occasionally write on my blog: https://www.aleenmean.com
I like reading, fountain pens, and Splatoon 2. Yes, that's absolutely a comprehensive list of things I like. Yes, my sense of humor is sarcastic and dry.
1. J 🥰
2. Buckled down, got a solid outline finished for the App Launch Map Field Guide.
3. Bubble tea.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to set up monetization in the App Store and I don't understand how Instapaper can do this. Isn't this a blatant violation of the guidelines? Am I missing something? https://mastodon.social/media/LA3WeflUYK6215iS3mc
