Hi, I’m building caspy, tamagotchi for mental health. An app that makes science-backed micro actions fun and easy with your very own pocket support cat I hand drew the assets, feedback welcome :) waitlist below
Day 42 of building a mental health app Jet lagged, took a day off building Read zero to one by thiel - so insightful, tho many of the ideas lean more toward building the next unicorn than indie hacking “Brilliant thinking is rare, but courage is in even shorter supply.”
Day 41 of building a mental health app ☑️ Worked on caching between flights One of my favorite things about indie hacking is the freedom to build from anywhere
Day 40 of building a mental health app ✅ Hit 340+ on waitlist ✅ Worked on user backend logic Started exploring marketing on other channels to reach niche users
Day 39 of building a mental health app Waitlist is still growing - it was one of my motivators for pushing through a boring task today (creating settings screen) Appreciate the support so much ☺️
Day 38 of building a mental health app ✅ Hit 3.6k followers ✅ Fixed two critical bugs ✅ Cleaned up db schema Really happy with the small wins today
Day 37 of building a mental health app Created a new screen today Probably spent too much time on the ui but still don’t like the way it looks - one of those days On the bright side, hit 300 users on the waitlist!
Day 36 of building a mental health app 🎉 Almost 300 waitlisted users! I’ve only been marketing on x so far - wondering if sign ups come from genuine interest in the app or just curiosity about my building in public Even if only 1% convert, it'll be our first 3 users and…
Day 36 of building a mental health app ✅ 280+ waitlisted users ✅ Added caching and new section for insights Really productive day today, also read a book and took a nap
Personally I’d use primed positive psychology 1. enjoying (app) so far? 2. your 5 star review helps us grow Framing this way assumes positive experience -> users who are drawn to click are more likely to give 5 stars
I want to ask my app-users for a rating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ How is your wording when you ask for a review in the app? Mine sounds always desperate...
Day 35 of building a mental health app Today, I researched on ☑️ Paywall formats ☑️ TikTok viral formats One of the apps I tested has a broken paywall - it ranks top on the app store but users can’t subscribe. Observability is so important
Day 34 of building a mental health app 🔥260+ on waitlist ✅ Designed logo Waitlist has been steadily growing despite impressions being lower since pinning it on my profile
“Quit your job only when your side hustle is earning as much as your salary” This advice never resonated with me. Growing up with entrepreneur parents who never had corporate jobs - I’ve known stability to be built, not inherited from a paycheck or job title For me, managing…
Day 33 of building a mental health app ☑️ Continued working on design Had a shorter day as I got home late - back at it harder tomorrow Also unboxed my very first labubu, it was so much fun and got me reflecting a lot on product virality 🔥
Day 32 of building a mental health app ✅ Hit 250+ on waitlist ✅ Working on breathing feature design I’m pretty helpless at design, but it’s been fun to experiment - also got some good feedback from my siblings
Day 31 of building a mental health app ✅ Hit 3.2k followers ✅ Progressed on the backend Busy day but managed to get a 90 min workout down, feeling great!
Day 30 of building a mental health app 🎉 30 -> 2.9k followers 🎉 40m+ impressions 🎉 210+ users on waitlist 🎉 Dev work 50% done One month of showing up every single day - keep building and writing and doing what you love
Are you being polite to ai because you want to be courteous to machines or hedging your chances of survival when they take over? Be honest (please)
