working as a web dev during day, building mobile apps at night

Joined October 2025
Last year I shipped my first app. It wasn’t big, but it taught me one thing: speed matters. This year I’m shipping one app every 2 weeks, or at least 22 apps by the end of 2026. Small team. Day jobs. Nights only. @buildinpublic

wait what. no way this tiktok format makes 5M views per week. fake chats promoting your app over f*cking minecraft. claude can make hundreds of these per day. pls give it a try.

Got the same error. Can't install any of my apps from TestFlight. Anyone experienced that?

nocnt 1.0.3 went to review. Added a mascot (green heart, named Elsa, after my dog). Rewrote onboarding using feedback from other indies. Redid the screenshots, they're worse looking but actually show what the app does now. Also started warming up tiktok account for it.

Found ChatGPT as a traffic source in App Referrers for one of our apps. Sep 14-18, App Store Connect shows 25 impressions, 15 installs. Tiny sample, five days only. But for a small app that's already noticeable.

I've built a better version of fastlane for our team in a couple of days. Getting all these superpowers for 200$ (Claude Max subscription) is crazy.

Still can't believe chatgpt brings, at least, 3 new users to our new app without me doing anything for that.

Our app is more than 2 weeks in review, so we can't participate in shipaton. That's just sad :(

Used fastlane for some time. Didn't really like the part the it is overpriced, also missing some of the features I need. Decided to build my own. Shall i open source it once im done and find it to be useful in my workflow?

It is crazy how great codex with voice mode is. Was doing some backend work for a new project while exercising 🥹

Guys, is it normal for first release? App is in review for 10 days, and for last 4 days status is "In Review". Thinking maybe I shall drop a message to Apple.
