The biggest struggle is saying no to new features or polishing existing ones. I want to make it better but I also have to deliver. I feel better when I reframe it: “I will do that after this *actually important next thing*” in my case it is to submit to AppStore
Adjusting UI to support the new Liquid Glass UI. Love Expo for having the ability to make apps a lot closer to native capabilities.
probably going to cut some corners and leave chat input not glassy just yet; need to rewrite it from scratch to improve UX for mic input and other small things

I was a bit surprised with Apple Intelligence recently. For example, the email app proposes events to create in the calendar or to track packages in the Wallet app, proactively. And it works! It is somewhat useful and convenient

Vibe coded page by codex that is in the app since the release.
The screenshot is taken from the dev build. I'm working hard to update the app to the new iOS 26. I'm not a designer, but I've recently learned about and tried to apply concentricity to the app.

Releasing an app is more overwhelming. Now, you must balance:
- Promote and acquire more users
- Iterate on feedback, fix bugs, and improve the product
- Update the platform and add new features
I’m certain that’s not all.

Tried advanced voice mode for language practice. Technically fine, but it feels empty.
It’s not a tech problem — it’s the missing human connection.
Some friends had the same reaction.

Learning a language isn’t about working harder—it’s about mastering words that actually matter to you.
My app allows you to turn your daily life (calls, movies, convos) into instant flashcards—no friction.
Just 3 min/day → real progress.

1/ walkthrough implemented. Onboarding new users should be a lot better. People were unaware of some features and don't always discover them on their own.

I feel like Codex CLI is a bit underhyped. I used to use the web version a lot and it was really decent in terms of generating ideas for improvement and coming back to them later. There are always decent pieces among the 4 versions generated.
But back to the CLI tool

Some confusion was the navigation. Both tabs had almost identical views with different primary actions on them.
Simplifying is hard. I feel like the header part is worse than the previous version, but the rest of it is better. How do you like it? (First video is before)

Over-the-air updates are insane. Really easy to implement, and the value in return is amazing.
I’ve been putting efforts towards better observability to have better tools in terms of fixing issues and delivering them fast. So worth it

Last few days was busy:
- improved onboarding by splitting 2 steps into 4, each with a lower cognitive load
- fixed major bug which makes it impossible to use the app.
Waiting for appstore review kind of sucks.

The app got approved, and I’ve shared it with a few friends. Valuable feedback and friction points were mentioned. Now the real work begins: how to simplify the product and iterate on such feedback.

- from one side this feels distracting from main focus
- from another side, FOMO, like there is something significantly better and you fall behind by not adopting it
how do you deal with this?

Using non-native technologies to build an app can be challenging. Today, I have been fixing UI issues and making sure the native context menu works properly. It is still not as perfect as I wanted it to be, but I think it is decent.

My preview build crashed instantly on startup, while the dev build was fine. I dove into crash reports and symbolication until I tried a different tack: check what changed since the last good build. I suspected native deps, but it was way simpler—my mistake.

This is even harder when polishing is just a matter of delegating it to Codex (by OpenAI). Instead of writing a todo I just post a task to Codex and it is really good at executing on minor things. I have piled up those things to improve
