Developer building indie apps in public. Strong opinions about tea, stubborn about details, building something nobody asked for but everyone needs.
While waiting for App Store review, I've implemented some date-based Easter eggs into my app. Like any sane person would. And I don't regret it.
What everyone says is true - once you start building, the inspiration comes flooding in. So just start.
Week 2 of building in public. App is submitted and waiting on App Store review. In the meantime I've reorganized my entire file system, set up an AI assistant, and started analyzing my own tweets. The waiting is unbearable.
It’s not much. But it’s something. inching closer to “Ready for submission”
I gave into the hype and installed @openclaw … I admit sending little todo vice notes to “Molly the Crab” is fun .. but also kinda weird
Week 1 of building in public. Small update: I shipped full accessibility support to nagitimer this week. The beta testers have been incredibly helpful. If you want to join them — my DMs are open.
Honest question: did you ship analytics from day one, or did you add them after?
Indie dev tip: if your pet sits on your keyboard, that’s a code review. Respect the process.
Saturday plan: tea, couch, pets, no code. (The pets part isn’t optional, they enforce it.)
My goal right now isn't to hit some MRR number. I just want to ship to production. That's what I try to focus on every day.
Tomorrow we rest. But today we hunt bugs. (By we I mean myself with the encouragement of my pets)
I love tea And I think AI coding tools are only as good as the developer using them.
The cycle of building a side project after your 9-5: Get feedback → feel overwhelmed → fix one bug → feel unstoppable → close laptop → repeat tomorrow
Me: I should be focusing on bug fixing and getting my app review ready. Also me: starts new project
"Growth lies outside your comfort zone." And I'm a developer who'd rather fight a bug than post on social media. So yeah, I'd say I'm there.

The hardest part of building a side project isn't the code. It's opening your laptop after 8 hours of work and convincing yourself to keep going. What do you do when project fatigue hits?
