Apple development books and code, $2.5K a month, self-reported in 2022

Swiftjective-C sells books, code samples, development articles and software for Apple-platform developers and indie app creators. Its $2.5K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of February 2022.

What it actually sells

Swiftjective-C offers practical articles covering Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, accessibility, App Intents, architecture, design and indie development, together with complete code samples. Its stated audience is Apple-platform developers, iOS programmers and indie app developers.

How it charges

Swiftjective-C’s price could not be identified on the pages we read. Currency amounts appear on the pages, but none could be tied to the product’s own pricing.

Where customers come from

Swiftjective-C presents its blog as the main visible surface, with practical development articles, complete code samples and long-running notes from shipping iPhone, iPad and Mac apps. The site also lists RSS and JSON feeds, while listed software projects include landing pages and learn-more links.

What stands out

The product spans editorial material and software: articles, code samples, notes, a five-book iOS app development book series in early access, and apps for basketball coaches, NCAA scores, caffeine tracking and solo indie project management.

The site says Elite Hoops reached $10k MRR and that Spend Stack was featured in Apple’s stores as a demo app, topped its charts and was selected for App of the Day. Jordan Morgan has worked as a writer, teacher and software creator since 2011.

Where it sits in the data

Swiftjective-C's $2.5K a month is higher than 52% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

In my view, the buyer is an Apple-platform developer who wants practical material for building apps. Distribution would need to come through search, developer communities, an email list and direct relationships with readers; RSS and JSON feeds can keep existing readers connected to published material.

In my view, this needs real work. The hard parts are producing credible technical material, keeping examples current across several frameworks, and supporting both readers and software users. A new entrant would also compete for attention in established developer channels and would need enough audience trust to support several products.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

In my view, the useful lesson is to package technical knowledge into products with different forms: searchable articles, reusable code, books and software. The buyer still receives focused material, while the creator has several ways to publish and sell the work.
