my reasoning for leaving again

tldr; After 365 days off social media and then 365 days on social media, I realize nothing is comparable to the former. However, I recognize the importance of having some sort of presence online that is both cathartic and intentional for my authorhood. Therefore, I am moving away from short-form video content to long-form content. I am no longer focused on growth or promotion. I just want to exist online with people who appreciate my writing.

These are just my initial thoughts. I'm sorry for the informal language and incomplete ideas.

CONTEXT

In 2023, I decided in the new year I would delete all social media accounts and heavily limit TV time (bed rotting).

I was feeling behind in life, honestly. I had just changed my major and switched schools in the middle of my degree plan. The political environment in Florida was on fire with conservative initiatives that were creating a university environment so wrought with conflict, passive aggression, and censorship that I saw no reason to continue. But my partner persuaded me to circle back to the roots of my passion: writing.

So, I went back to university for Creative Writing and English Literature in January of 2023. I wanted to remove all distractions in my life and focus solely on my writing and university.

My exact wording at the time was: "I want to get serious."

I wanted to be a serious writer, and I felt I couldn't do that by being glued to my phone. TikTok brain does not translate to the page. I set very strict rules for myself: 1 hour of Pinterest and YouTube per day and only one episode of a TV show in the evening.

Did it work? Was I locked in? Yeah, 100%. I read more books that year than I ever have in my life. I wrote more than I ever had in my life. And I was published for the first time that year.

As intended, I worked hard that year, but something else happened: I invested more in my IRL friendships. I talked to people in my classes and at my part-time job. I asked for people's phone number. I was no longer in a string of satellite friendships I sonar to via Instagram stories. If I wanted to talk to someone I had to reach out and have a one-on-one conversation that was not veiled by memes.

2025'S GRASS TOUCH

The conversations about TikTok have made me reflect heavily on my time offline compared to this year online. I find the ability of the government to remove an app for millions scary. I'm saddened to learn how political all of this has become. I can no longer stand by these apps and their censorship.

All of this has made me reflect on my current relationship with social media.

I don't think our main lives or friendships should exist solely online.

I don't have to be on every platform.

3. I have had an opportunity to see that short-form video content does not usually benefit me daily. It feels more like busy work to me, scrolling until I see something I want to watch... I'm forced to take in milliseconds of content I don't want to see or cloud my brain with information I don't need. Instead of searching for a topic I WANT to see (Pinterest & Tumblr).

4. I have found the social media marketing advice I received from other authors and even some of the advice I was given at university is simply not useful and/or does not apply anymore. There was so much importance put on building an online platform as an author in my creative writing courses. We had an alumni author come speak to my class one day and he said it was essential to success. But this advice lacks a foundation now that we have found out an administration can remove everything you've worked for. The publishing industry, writers, books, independent publishing, tangible zines, lit mags, etc will all exist even if our online author platforms are deleted. I find that to be most reassuring as I move forward. I want to focus on my IRL goals, my tangible writing goals... creating things that will last.

5. The time I feel I have wasted during this year creating short-form video content on an app that is taking a heavy turn to the right instead of working on my novel (my actual goal) makes me so sad. Creating an author platform on social media was a part of my graduation plan as a writer, and it feels a bit humiliating to be back at square one.

DESPITE this I feel positive about these changes. I'm HAPPY to be back on Tumblr, a place I made my home when I was a teenager. I am happy to be on a platform where I can make my words the focal point of my content. I'm EXCITED! I feel clear-headed and lucid.

I'm expecting a very select few to follow me on this platform from Instagram, and I am okay with that.

I am no longer focused on growth or building a platform to sell or promote my writing. But I am here on a public platform, creating content in case the right people want to keep up with my writing (and me?).

I really appreciate anyone who takes the time to read this long post that is informal and all over the place.

I love you. I hope you stay awhile <3

How Can Companies Optimize ROI by Converting Android Apps to iOS (or Vice Versa)?

Optimize ROI by Converting Android Apps to iOS

Introduction 

In today’s mobile-first landscape, companies aiming to maximize their mobile app ROI must consider platform expansion. With Android dominating in user volume and iOS leading in revenue generation, converting your app from Android to iOS (or vice versa) can be a strategic move to reach a broader audience and boost profitability. This blog explores how app conversion can be a growth catalyst, helping businesses lower acquisition costs and increase user engagement across platforms.

Understanding Android to iOS App Conversion (or Vice Versa)

App conversion refers to the process of adapting an existing mobile application to operate on a different platform. Whether moving from Android to iOS or the reverse, this process involves more than just copying code. It includes reworking the UI/UX, adapting to platform-specific APIs, and ensuring functional parity across devices. Successful app conversion demands expertise in both Android and iOS app development to maintain performance and user satisfaction.

Top Reasons to Convert Android Apps to iOS (or Vice Versa)

Reach a wider audience: Tap into new user segments by expanding your presence to another platform.

Increase revenue potential: iOS users typically have higher lifetime value, while Android's larger user base can fuel ad-driven revenue models.

Improve brand presence: Being available on both platforms builds credibility and trust with users.

Maximize previous investments: Reusing assets and backend systems speeds up time-to-market and reduces development costs.

How App Conversion Improves ROI 

Converting your app allows you to scale without starting from scratch, which significantly lowers development costs. The ability to reach more users boosts installs, engagement, and revenue. Moreover, a cross-platform presence strengthens brand authority and opens doors to new monetization opportunities, like in-app purchases or subscriptions, ultimately maximizing return on investment.

Key Challenges in Mobile App Platform Conversion

UI/UX differences: iOS and Android have distinct design languages (Material vs. Human Interface Guidelines).

Technical variations: Differences in programming languages (Java/Kotlin for Android vs. Swift/Objective-C for iOS).

Third-party integration compatibility: Not all libraries and SDKs work identically across platforms.

Testing requirements: Each platform has its own device ecosystem and app store policies.

Steps to Successfully Convert Your Mobile App

Audit existing app code and features

Choose the right development approach (native or cross-platform)

Redesign UI/UX to fit the new platform standards

Adapt backend APIs and third-party services

Test extensively across devices and OS versions

Deploy to the relevant app store with optimized listings

Tools & Technologies for App Conversion

Flutter: Ideal for creating a single codebase for both platforms

Kotlin Multiplatform: Enables code sharing between Android and iOS

React Native: Popular framework for cross-platform mobile development

Xamarin: Microsoft-backed tool for .NET-based apps

Choosing the right tech stack depends on performance needs, UI complexity, and existing code structure.

Cost Estimation & ROI Forecasting 

App conversion is typically more cost-effective than building a new app from scratch. Factors affecting cost include app complexity, UI redesign, and backend changes. Companies should calculate potential ROI by comparing conversion cost with projected increase in user acquisition, engagement, and revenue across the new platform.

Case Studies: App Conversion Success Stories

Example 1: A retail app that expanded from iOS to Android and saw a 40% increase in monthly active users

Example 2: A SaaS product that moved from Android to iOS, leading to a 30% boost in in-app purchases These examples showcase how strategic app conversion can result in measurable growth.

Tips to Maximize ROI After Converting Your App

Invest in App Store Optimization (ASO) for visibility

Launch targeted marketing campaigns on the new platform

Monitor analytics closely to track engagement and retention

Solicit user feedback to continuously refine the app experience

Conclusion 

Converting your Android app to iOS or vice versa is not just a technical decision—it's a business strategy. When done right, it can significantly enhance user reach, reduce development overhead, and boost ROI. By partnering with an experienced app development company like CQLsys Technologies, you can ensure a smooth transition and unlock new growth opportunities across platforms.
