Day 31 of building MindNotes Today I wasn't feeling like coding. I wasn't feeling like writing either and honestly I wasn't feeling to continue the streak. But I still did a little, I switched on landing creation instead of the app test. Sometimes when determination is fading the solution is to get some rest and come back stronger. At least I didn't quit.

[MindNotes] Voice to notes apps for builders | Day 30 Created the MindNotes app in appstoreconnect and did all the subscriptions setup so I can setup RC after the first submission I also fixed some onboarding stuff, still in trouble with the google auth😅 Today was a chill day I took some time for myself !

🎉 1 month of building in public 🎉 → 0 to 50K impressions 🔥 → 0 to 71 followers 🚀 → 90 posts, 0 days missed MindNotes MVP: 70% done Started posting into the void. Now building an audience before launch. Really happy with how this is going. Thanks for being part of the journey 🙏

So, it's been a month of building in public🎊, and I'm going to make a little summary of everything I've learned. I'm separating it into 3 categories (building, marketing, personal) and sharing what actually worked for me 👇 Building: → I validated ideas through users. I talked to people, not just nodded to my own hype. → I used the MomTest to invalidate one idea. It asks the right questions so users don't just flatter you. → Just because your app solves a problem doesn't mean people will buy it. I can be bothered enough to pay — but I'm biased. → Release a reliable MVP fast. It's "Minimum" and "Viable" for a reason — speed matters for learning. → Tech choice: pick what makes you fast and comfortable. Everyone will argue about speed/cost — but I care about shipping. → Copying an existing, proven concept is less risky. Start where people already pay. Less glamour, more odds. → A new concept is harder, but if it works, you get displacement power — few competitors, big upside. Marketing: → Go niche. Small groups talk to each other. You get better conversion vs vague impressions. → Be consistent in your messaging. Don't flip your copy/position 15,000 times — pick one thing and stick with it. → Building an audience helps, but it's one channel. Ads, organic content, SEO — they all matter. → Organic content has massive upside if you learn it. I saw people explode by mastering it (@jackfriks). Personal: → Discipline is the pillar. It doesn't guarantee success, but it's what people who win all have in → common. → Know when to quit. Sticking to an app that doesn't work wastes time. Fail fast, learn faster. → Failures teach more than long-term success. Success fades, mistakes stick — and they shape better moves. → Stop comparing yourself to others — it only brings frustration and stress. Focus on your path. In one month I learned to validate with users, ship fast with a comfy tech stack, pick niche marketing, and treat discipline + smart quitting as core habits. I'm grateful for everyone I've learned from by reading your posts or discussing in replies. Let's make the next month even better

Since I’ve been sharing my journey, it seems like my mind is clearer. Writing about my tough times and my experiences makes me realise what I’m currently achieving and taking it a step further. Seems like a cheat code: → You build → You get confident → You grow an audience

Getting into the builder mindset: → Idea → Validation → Small build → Restart. Once you get into this flow your unstoppable.

[MindNotes] Voice to notes apps for builders | Day 29 Today was chaos. Morning: Fighting expo build errors Afternoon: Auth flow completely broken Evening: Rebuilt the entire AI system The AI rewrite though? Actually proud of this one. Built a voice profile system that learns how YOU talk. After 3 recordings, it captures your phrases, energy, vocabulary. So your generated posts sound like you, not like every other AI tool. Rewrote all the prompts. Changed all the examples. Studied how @marclou , @levelsio , and @andi_losing actually write. Less polish, more personality. Tested on my own notes. Still needs adjustments but sounds way more human. Auth is still broken. Will deal with that tomorrow. Some days you ship the thing you're proud of while everything else is on fire.

Day 23 of creating my voice to notes mobile app for builders: - Revamped my app's screen recorder - Mapped out a whole week of content - AI logic for social content generation (ongoing) Discovery of the week: Engaging with the community feels like a game changer for growth. Feeling pretty good about the progress!

Day 22 of creating my voice to notes mobile app for builders: Features added: → Audio handler → Search in notes → AI mood analysis → Transcript speech to text → User category handling Now it’s going to be the fun part ! Social content generation based on how you’re really talking !

Small wins worth celebrating: - 12.4K impressions - 1K engagements - 0 → 36 followers The numbers aren't massive, but they’re proof that I’m following the good path.

Day 18 of building in public: For now I’ll be working on MindNotes a voiced journaling app. Job done: - Design system defined - Core screens mapped - First mockups done It’s always fun and exciting when you start a new project.

Day 14 of building my SaaS opportunity radar: -> Enhance scraping script -> Mocks of opportunity dashboards Dark or Light ? 👀

Day 11 of building my SaaS that turns online complaints into real SaaS opportunities. I clustered thousands of pain signals into groups, so similar problems get merged. This lets me detect patterns that repeat and ignore one-off noise. I also fully changed my landing page !
