Some users hit a loading bug while it worked fine for me. Claude suggested a fix but I knew it wouldn’t solve it. Did it manually: • Checked logs • Reproduced with users’ steps • Found an init + cache conflict • Fixed in 5 mins Sometimes the fastest fix is just doing it…

Tough user feedback today. He disliked features I thought mattered (and some users had requested). Made me realize again that building is juggling different voices, and sometimes they clash. Not easy, but part of the process. 🦾

I have hit a wall. Still stuck at ~540 followers. Feels like I’m watching everyone else grow while mine just refuses to move.

Didn’t expect this: building my own project improved my 9–5. User-first thinking comes way more intuitively.

3 months into solo dev and marketing is still my most inconsistent work. My fix: consistent weekly updates + learnings.

Saw my girlfriend using a poop tracking app with her friends. And it hit me, people really do use the most unexpected things. As a solo dev, it’s easy to chase “impact” and forget: it doesn’t need to change the world. It just needs to reach your people. Even the weirdest niches…

Building an app solo aint cool while holding a full-time job: • 9–5 grind (still alive) • Servers on fire • Ship new features like a caffeine-fueled robot • Force myself to post on X • Customer support during ungodly hours • Girlfriend reminding me she exist It’s chaotic.…
