Hi, I'm Jan! I created app-control-panel.com in 2019 while studying computer science in university. A lot has changed since then - not only have I graduated, but it's also no longer just me running app-control-panel.com. We've grown to a global, fully remote team and have gathered lots of experience around app development and app publishing. We've created and published hundreds of apps in the app stores, where they've been downloaded millions of times.
