Optimised large keyword lists in AppShovel.com and went from 15 seconds to 0,7 seconds in one instance. A step closes to remove "Beta" from this feature... \o/

Seeing that folks like to share keywords they found without revealing them, I have build a privacy feature for AppShovel.com. Happy sharing!

Did all ASO tools just become broken? It looks more and more like popularity data from Apple SearchAds is becoming useless, or at least only returning data for the most popular keywords.

Seems that the Apple SearchAds API is diverging between the popularities/recommendation endpoints.
The former is returning a value of 5 for many keywords which had decent values before, while the recommendations still return those higher values.

AppShovel.com had some issues with syncing popularity (thx external service provider) which are fixed now. Sorry about that! While at it, I also improved the keyword list sync to be more robust.

My ASO tracker AppShovel.com now updates keyword rankings automatically every 24 hours. Was getting annoyed with opening my lists manually every day. 🤷♂️ #buildinpublic

Noticed very slow loading while dogfooding AppShovel.com with long lists.
Reduced the amount of data and added lazy image loading.
Good improvement, but Safari is somehow still way slower than Chrome. 🤷♂️

There was an issue with the Apple SearchAds API, which resulted in errors when fetching popularities & recommendations. This has been fixed and should be working again!

Added ranks for a connected app. Coming from mobile, it's pretty amazing to me how fast one can iterate on a web stack. 😅

Pretty happy how keyword lists for AppShovel.com turned out. Working on linking an app to them, so you see how it ranks over time. Also need to du some plumbing to make this all work.
