Day 14 of Building in Public π
π» Mac App
β Reached out to builders on X yesterday to get their honest first impressions of the landing page.
Got some really valuable feedback (thank you all π«Ά) and made a few changes today to make the value proposition even clearer! π
β The launch video is now almost 80% done! Will work on the remaining tom.
Getting closer to opening the waitlist to everyone this week! π
π Launch Indie Apps
β Added 2 new alternative pages to the blog, helping people discover apps similar to popular ones.
β Also had a pretty good day with AI search! π
4 visitors came through AI search today, which is really encouraging to see!
Itβs still early, but seeing people discover the platform through AI search without me actively promoting it is a great feeling.
Still a lot to do, but happy with the progress weβre making.
One day at a time. One improvement at a time.
Hope you all had a productive Wednesday, legends!
Rooting for you all π«Ά
Bro I'm building the exact same thing and solving the same issue. Need to launch tomorrow now π
Thats a lot of blue. Did Google finally cook? π
I did say we'd be releasing our models periodically...introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, our next frontier model.
Following Argon's release just two weeks ago, Carbon shows the pace at which weβre pushing the frontier, it ranks #1 on the recently updated v5.0 of @ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index at 59. It also leads across key cybersecurity evaluations scoring 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro for finding vulnerabilities, 54.8% on ExploitGym for exploitation, and 71.0% on CWE-bench for patching.
Weβre seeing significant improvements in long-horizon tasks even compared to Argon, and weβve strengthened frontier safeguards.
As we did with Argon, weβre going to roll it out gradually + responsibly. Some trusted cyber defenders will get access starting this week. We'll be expanding it to more partners through our Fairwind Program, ahead of wider availability soon, so hang tight!
I don't build for money. I build for passion.
Also me: checking my revenue dashboard 37 times a day π

me: I build products π

Been scrolling X for 10 minutes.
Everyone is building an app.
Everyone is launching an app.
Everyone is marketing an app.
Nobody is downloading apps π

GM beautiful people! π§οΈπ
Not every day is gonna be a record-breaking day on X.
Yesterday was a reminder of that π
Impressions dropped, follower growth slowed down, but hey, we're playing the long game! πͺ
The good news?
I finally finished the landing page for my Mac app!! π₯³
Even shared it with a few builders to get their first impressions and see if the value proposition was clear.
One step closer to opening the waitlist! π
Anyway, here's what's on the plate today:
π» Mac App
β Start working on the launch video π¬
β Refine the app's functionality and onboarding flow.
π Launch Indie Apps
β List the platform on a few more directories, if time permits.
β Get back to marketing more consistently on X.
β Reach out to more indie iOS makers through cold DMs.
And a little milestone worth celebrating:
Launch Indie Apps crossed 1,000 page views in the last 30 days!! ππ₯³
Still early days, but it's amazing to see more people discovering the platform!
And a little reminder for myself (and maybe for you too):
Not all progress shows up in numbers.
Some of the most important work takes time to show results.
So don't let a slow day discourage you. Keep putting in the work. It all adds up!
Have a fantastic Wednesday, legends!
I'm rooting for you all π«Ά
Day 13 of Building in Public π
π» Mac App
Spent most of today working on my Mac app because Iβm planning to open the waitlist to everyone THIS WEEK!! π₯³
Finally the landing page is DONE!
β Finished polishing the landing page. Super happy with how it turned out! π
β Set up a proper email service for the waitlist. Signups, welcome emails, and notifications are now taken care of.
β Finalized the waitlist and launch pricing.
β Reached out to a bunch of builders on X to get their early impressions of the landing page.
Really curious to hear their honest feedback and see if the value is clear to them.
Feels good to finally have most things in place. Just a few more things before I open up the waitlist! π
π Launch Indie Apps
Didnβt get much done here today as my focus was entirely on the Mac app.
Traffic has dipped a little lately π
Not too worried though. Itβs still early, and I havenβt been marketing it much lately.
Some days will be slower than others. Iβm still confident itβll keep growing in the long run! :)
Sometimes you just have to give one project your full attention to get it across the finish line.
One day at a time. One improvement at a time.
Hope you all had a productive Tuesday, legends!
Rooting for you all π«Ά
GM beautiful people! βοΈπ
I thought Sunday was my best day on X in a long time.
But Monday said, not having that π
Yesterday's impressions were even higher (> 11k)
And the funny part?
One of my replies got more impressions than all my posts combined ππ
Not sure whether to laugh or cry at this point haha.
X is weird man π
Also woke up to another 50+ new followers! π₯³ Super grateful for that and all the meaningful connections i have been building along the way π«Ά
Here's what's on the plate today:
π» Mac App
β Fix a few remaining UI issues on the landing page.
β Share it with a couple of builders to get their first impressions.
I want to make sure the messaging is clear and people immediately understand what the app does before opening up the waitlist to everyone.
Getting closer to sharing it with you all! π
π Launch Indie Apps
β List the platform on a few more directories.
β Get back to marketing it more consistently here on X. Haven't done enough of that over the last couple of days.
β Reach out to more indie iOS app makers and introduce them to the platform.
Still a lot of work to do on the distribution side.
And a little reminder for myself (and maybe for you too):
Don't get too attached to how you think progress should look.
Sometimes your biggest wins come from places you least expect.
Keep experimenting. Keep showing up. And pay attention to what's working.
Have a fantastic Tuesday, legends!
I'm rooting for you all π«Ά
Day 12 of Building in Public π
π Launch Indie Apps
β Improved how new app listings get discovered by Bing. Failed submissions now retry automatically, with nightly resubmissions for recent listings.
β Set up weekly SEO health checks and regular fact-checking for all 44 guides and tool pages.
Traffic has dipped a little lately π
Mostly because I havenβt been marketing the platform enough on X over the last few days.
But hereβs the good part:
β Weβre still getting discovered through AI search engines like ChatGPT!
β Google Search traffic is also holding relatively steady π
Really nice to see people discovering the platform even when Iβm not actively promoting it.
Thatβs exactly what Iβm trying to build. A platform that can grow without depending entirely on my daily marketing efforts π
π» Mac App
β FINALLY finalized the app icon after 30+ versions!! ππ¨
Never thought an app icon would take this much effort, haha. But super happy with how it turned out!
β Made app switching and scheduling smoother.
β Added a new comparison section to the landing page.
β Added light and dark mode to the website! π
Quite a productive Monday overall!
Lots of small improvements, but weβre slowly getting closer to where I want these products to be.
One day at a time. One improvement at a time.
Hope you all had a productive Monday, legends!
Rooting for you all π«Ά
