The year is ending, a summer of all the apps I have so far in the app store. The last few weeks I have been working hard on improving (4) and testing (5). Stay tuned for more apps and improvements.

May the programming gods forgive me, for I have sinned:

I put it online for now: trailerspoiler.com
It's a project to rate trailers and see which one are worth watching *before* and which one *after*.

Still work in progress, but if anyone is keen to test

Working on a new fun project.

The indie dev paradox: you don't want to talk about your app, but you want downloads. 😅

Love these kind of reviews!

One of these sets of screenshots perform way better than the other ones, which one?

The boost for my app has ended.

Submitted a few versions of LangDiary (dot com), mainly some bug fixes and crashes I noticed. A new feature is that you can now choose how much the app should change your writing.

Life could have been easier if this document.scrollIntoView() function had logical argument names, but nah let's screw over the programmers.

Could have had logical names like horizontal and vertical, but instead let's call it block and inline. Makes more sense.

Starting the week with a positive rating for my language diary app.

Hi everyone,

I built a journaling app to improve my French (works with a bunch of other languages as well):

✍️ Write daily
🧠 Get instant corrections
📈 Learn naturally by reflecting on your day

Now live on the App Store → langdiary.com

I submitted ColorGuesser.com (a stupid project I made long time ago) to HN.

Give me some love by upvoting: hn.algolia.com?q=colorguesser
Guess the color by name
You are given a color name and have to guess how it looks like. The closer your guess is the more points you collect.

When App Store insist, you don't comply with the rules, but you do.

After endless back and forth, I can see my new app LangDiary finally being close to be accepted.Let the App Store gods have mercy with me.

if you wanna pre-order go ahead: apps.apple.com/us/app/langu...

Just submitted the final version to the App Store!
What started as a simple idea turned into an MVP, which I launched for pre-order on App Store

After spending the past few days polishing everything, it's finally ready to go live.

Vibe coding is fun, but fixing bug without understanding the code is a recipe for disaster.

I feel so stupid. Just discovered that TikTok tells you exactly when to post your videos to maximize the interactions.
June 19, 2025 at 8:17 AM
Trying to b consistent here, but it's hard when the numbers fluctuate so much
June 19, 2025 at 7:27 AM
I started posting random videos on Tiktok, ~250 views is not much, but if I do that every day, that's already 7.5k potential views.

Getting out of my comfort zone. Trying to create some videos talking about my app and how I sue it and showing product updates.

The first few videos are going to be horrible quality probably, but worth a try.

Sneaky @Stripe telling you "you have to migrate" by giving you a choice:

> Stripe is deprecating usage-records billing. Moving forward, you can migrate to billing meters, our only solution for usage-based billing.

Interesting onboarding of CapWords by @thexclu which won the design awards. Here is the video for inspirations.
