Happy 2026 🎊
I have been quiet but very busy building @jotsapp.bsky.social, moving pixels and learning new SwiftUI tricks. Nim and I have been testing the MVP with some close friends and we'll be opening TestFlight to more people 🙌

Been working on a What's New screen today — starting simple, but I have a plan to evolve it into something nicer ✨

BTW, I find What's New in What's you so meta...

Facing a small database dilemma while building @jotsapp.bsky.social - should I go SwiftData + CloudKit (what I am currently doing) or something like Firebase/Supabase? #swift #iosdev

This is so far the most fun, satisfying and delightful thing that I designed and built for the @jotstheapp's waitlist!

Very proud of this!

P.S. We are about to reach 50 sign ups. Who will be number 100? 💛 #buildinpublic

What a great feeling getting back to some SwiftUI. I am having fun with some iOS26 new bits while building @jotsapp.bsky.social after a super productive brainstorming session with my co-founder Nim. I wish we already had a first version of Jots to Jot down our ideas! #buildinpublic

How often do you review your old ideas?
And do you ever look at them from a different perspective? 🔭

I’ve wanted to start so many things, but kept stalling on confidence, validation and structure. My friend Nim and I are building Jots — a home to capture + validate ideas so you can ship confidently. Join the waitlist: jotsapp.com #buildinpublic 🚀

Working on something exciting 🔥 I have been noodling this landing page on Figma and now enjoying bringing it into life. This is one of best moments I love about building digital products. ✨ #buildinpublic

Curious - how many raw ideas for apps/websites are currently sitting in your notes? I must have at least 20... #buildinpublic

For the new project I'm working on, I had some fun building a Slack integration that sends a different celebratory message every time someone joins the waitlist. Can't wait to read them all 😛 #buildinpublic

I have been trying to wrap my head around the new SpeechAnalyzer API coming with iOS26. I thought it'd be easier 😅 and decided it won't make it to the MVP of the app I am working on. Has anyone had any luck with it? any alternative for live transcription on Swift? #buildinpublic
August 18, 2025 at 7:53 PM
Been quiet for a while — I am working on a new iOS app. I'll share more on this soon! #buildinpublic

Visiting Kyoto today ⛩️ Had to take this picture as this is the location of the cover image of my Japan Plan on Doko! Super nice feeling and glad I saved spots on the app, that otherwise I’d have missed. #BuildInPublic

🫡 Day 100: Mission Accomplished… for now!
100 days ago, I challenged myself to come up with an idea and post every day about my progress. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions, but I’m glad I did it. Today, I'm in Japan using the very first app I made, and I couldn't be more proud. #buildinpublic

🧳 Day 99: Packing Up
Tomorrow I fly to Japan. As I pack, I realised how cool it would be to have a packing list on Doko—definitely one of the top features to build next! #buildinpublic

💰 Day 98: First Dollars
Well, I did it 🎉 — I got my first dollar 💸. Just 2 days before my self-imposed deadline. I know this doesn’t mean viability and the road is still long, but it’s an incredible morale boost! Thank you! #buildinpublic
May 9, 2025 at 10:50 PM
🧽 Day 97: Polishing Up
Had 10-15 minutes this evening and added a few touches—like banners appearing when archiving or deleting activities. Small tweaks that elevate the experience! #buildinpublic
May 8, 2025 at 10:37 PM
🌐 Day 96: Updating Landing Page
Updated Doko’s landing page trydoko.app with the App Store link and a refreshed (maybe still temporary) icon and copy. For full disclosure, I’ve only got about 10 minutes per evening to work on this lately, but I’m determined not to lose momentum. #buildinpublic

📈 Day 95: First Numbers
Super impressed by the number of downloads in just over 24 hours since launch. Thank you all for trying it out and for sharing your feedback 🫶 #buildinpublic

📰 Day 94: Icongate
Overwhelmed by 50K views, 100s of new Thriends, and 350+ likes on Threads yesterday. Received a lot of appreciated support, feedback and questions, but one emerged over all: my icon resembles other popular apps and feels misleading. How about these alternatives? #buildinpublic
May 5, 2025 at 9:27 PM
🎉 Day 93: Live on the App Store!
Today, my very first app has gone live on the App Store ✨. It’s been an incredible journey, and I’ve learned a lot! I know it’s not perfect—I even found a bug with the tip jar not showing—but I’m super proud of what I shipped and will fix the bug soon. #buildinpublic

💔 Day 92: First App Store Rejection
Submitted Doko for review and… got rejected 😬 as expected. The issue was missing iPad screenshots, which I've now provided. Let's see how it goes 🤞 #buildinpublic
May 3, 2025 at 8:02 PM
✉️ Day 91: Ready for submission
Almost ready to submit to the App Store! Just need to provide the last few screenshots - will tackle these last pieces tomorrow! #buildinpublic
May 2, 2025 at 11:00 PM
🏬 Day 90: ASO and App Store Prep
We’re almost there, folks. I’m getting ready to submit to the App Store—gathering my keywords and filling out all the requested info from Apple. Exciting times ahead! #buildinpublic

👜 Day 89: Bugs and Misc Stuff
Had a hectic day, so app time was limited. However, I picked up a few tweaks, including great tips recommended by my friend @bucklajean.bsky.social . It's awesome to receive such supportive feedback! #buildinpublic
