Wayside Foundry

Hey Build in Public 👋 We're Wayside Foundry, two people in San Antonio building apps for real problems. App #1 is live on Google Play: Advanced Golf Address. Your height, wrist-to-floor and club length turn into exactly where to stand for every club. Two tape measures, no lessons. Next up: iPhone (Apple just approved our developer account) and app #2, which is in legal review now. Here we'll share what we ship, how we priced it, and what we'd do differently. What are you building?

Our first app sits in review with apple for 12 days (status=waiting for review). It's been live on Google Play since Sept. 29. Serious question, we have a ton of new features to release and we don't want to make Android customers wait. Is breaking the release cycle going to cause us problems in the future? What's your advice? #BuildInPublic

Every golf lesson is about the swing. Almost none are about where you stand. We put every feature in Advanced Golf Address on one page: what it does, why it matters, and why we built it that way. #Golf #golftwitter #golfapp #indiedev advancedgolfaddress.com/feat…

Vibe coding has become a dirty word. Some of that is earned. Some of it is the usual reaction when the hardest part of a job gets cheaper. The people pushing back have the most to bring. #buildinpublic #vibecoding

As we yell out into the abyss where it requires followers to produce engagement, we find ourselves wondering if there's a filter that can reduce the number of posts pertaining to follower growth. At what follower count do you switch to real engagement? Assuming that's the plan.

We listed all 370 parts across our apps. One we’d put in every app: In withe, our safety plan app, if a screen breaks you still see your own plan in plain text, with a button to call for help. A blank screen is fine in most apps. Not that one. #buildinpublic #buildwithAI

I think the extra space post period in this medium is unintentionally starting to show our age. #GenX #typewriter

Our Claude Max 20x usage resets every Monday at 5pm. Leaving any of it on the table feels like a waste, so even when we want to step away, we end up right back at it. Do you plan your week around your limits? #buildinpublic #ClaudeAI

We wrote down every part of every app we've built. 370 of them. The surprise: four of our apps had their own service worker, written separately. Building with AI makes rebuilding so cheap you don't notice you're doing it. waysidefoundry.com/notes/cas… #buildinpublic #vibecoding

Our QA process here at Wayside Foundry, as of this morning. Step one: ship the features. Step two: wait for feedback. Step three: threaten to delete the app. #startuplife #indiedev #HappySaturday

New to this but think Apple should update their review SLAs in the submission confirmation. Everything I've read says weeks.... it being our first is also probably dissolving our ability to wait patiently. #buildinpublic @ClownOnWire

Whole group on one card, gross and to par, no pencil. Built it because keeping score should not require arithmetic on the 12th tee. 🏌‍♂️ advancedgolfaddress.com/?src… #golf #golflifestyle #par3 #golftwitter #golfapp #municipalgolf

Newark having a Starbucks instead of a Dunkin in terminal B seems like a real miss for everyone involved. #coffee #travel

Last hole, last light, and the one putt that actually behaved all day. We build apps. This one measures where you stand before every shot, the part most of us just guess at. 7 days free: advancedgolfaddress.com/?src… #golf #golfputting

Everybody aims at the flag. Almost nobody checks. Point it, lock it, turn till it goes green. #golf #golftips

Small but meaningful step for our little operation. Finally finished the iOS version of advancedgolfaddress.com tonight and move one step closer to realizing this dream. 🙌 #buildinpublic
