“The App Space is Dead” “Your app won’t go anywhere” “Ai slop” Make that app bro you’ll never know where it takes you.

Attending App Week in New York has lit a whole new fire under me. I really want to take GameNight to the next level, and after this week I finally feel like I know how. I spent the week around people who've built and grown apps way bigger than mine, and every conversation gave me something to bring home.

Great to meet you Maya! Great coffee and great conversations. That app dev getaway idea is too good not to do. Can't wait to watch more of your podcasts and talk again soon!

I spent Shipaton shipping GameNight, an app that ends the "what should we play?" debate with your friends. Never imagined it would end up in Times Square! On Oct 22 I'm demoing it at @RevenueCat's #Shipaton Demo Day, 10am to 6pm ET. Come tell me what you think.

GameNight took 2nd place in the Gaming Influencer Award at @RevenueCat's #Shipaton 2026 🏆 Six weeks ago GameNight wasn't even on the App Store. I built it because the hardest part of jumping on with friends was always figuring out what to play. Since launch: • 1,700+ users • 160,000+ swipes through games • App Store rejections, a crash loop, and a database that buckled the day the launch reel took off Thank you to everyone who downloaded it, sent feedback and put up with my bug lists.

It’s starting 👀 #shippies

Meeting a ton of amazing people at App Week so far. Currently at the TikTok Level up event and I can’t get over this view, it’s amazing!

Made it to New York! NY App Week starts now. If you're in the city this week building apps or games, my DMs are open.

Submitted my “expedited review” while I was mid flight. Are we thinking it gets reviewed today?

Headed to NYC tomorrow for NY App Week. Quick look back before I go. GameNight went live on the App Store 5 weeks ago, built to answer one question: what should we play? Since then: • 1,000 users in the first 11 days
• 1,600+ now
• 125,000+ swipes through games
• 150,000+ games imported from Steam libraries
• One Instagram reel about the Battlefield 6 free weekend took daily signups from about 5 to almost 80 It hasn't been smooth. Three App Store rejections before launch, a crash loop, and a database that buckled the day the launch reel took off. Each one taught me something I'd have learned the hard way later anyway. What's next: Haunted Week lands in GameNight on Oct 24 and the Android version is in testing. If you're at App Week and building apps or games, let’s meetup, would love to heard what you’re working on!

I had to look it up. That's 10,000 PSI of air in that tank. That's NUTS

Went to bed after typing one paragraph to Claude. Woke up and it had SSH'd into my 3-node Proxmox cluster and: 
• spun up Home Assistant + n8n
• built a live dashboard with node stats
• set up auto-updates + phone alerts
 We are living in the future.

It's about time I got the app on the Google Play Store

Heading to New York next week for App Week. If you build apps or games and want to meet up, my DMs are open. I’ll have GameNight on my phone and too many business cards.

I can’t be the only one who absolutely hates the Discord notification sound for Halloween right?
