Original Summary

I'm a one-person studio in Stockholm, and last week I shipped Ullie for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Knitters work from PDF patterns full of lines like "repeat rounds 11 and 12 six times, and at the same time decrease every 4th round". Most row counters are a number and a plus button, so you still hunt for your line on the page. Ullie reads the pattern on the device and moves a ruler to the line you're on as you count. It works out that round 20 is round 12 of the pattern, says when the decrease is due, and marks your size in every "88 (96, 104)". A few things I'm happy with: it's native SwiftUI, and the count is an append-only log, so taps from the Watch, the Lock Screen and a second device merge instead of overwriting each other. It reads patterns in English, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and German, photos of a paper pattern are read on the phone, and there's no account and no AI in the app. The first project is free, then it's $19.99 once, a bet against the $30 to $50 a year subscriptions in the category. Five days in, the hard part is clearly being found, so I'd love to hear how others got their first users in a niche like this.
