After years of advising other startups I decided to build my own thing: http://native.express 🚀 Creator of http://contxt-app.com
I make money while a sleep on vacation:
- code in the morning
- go to the beach at noon
- code at evenings
- go to sleep and wake up to stripe notifications

what does your dream life look like?

Do people still remember this bad boy?

What kind of piracy did you engage in back in the day?

You are nasty...

When was the last time you cleaned your keyboard?

Here is how you can set up an iOS app in 43 seconds.

Including:
- Payment
- Push notifications
- Authentication

...and more!

Done with native.express CLI

Just paid €300 to fix the sound in my YouTube videos.

The best part? My business paid for this.

Since I am serious about YouTube...

€300 doesn't seem like that much.

1. Created a visually appealing launch on Product Hunt. Ensure a good description, catchy title, and attractive product slides (thanks @AdamBartas for the design work).

Wawawiwa, what do we have here... 🤩

Creating mobile apps has never been easier.

Simplifying life for NativeExpress customers.

One command in the CLI -> follow the prompts -> done!

If you could guarantee every post goes viral, what's the max monthly subscription you'd pay?

Imagine your content consistently hitting the front page, like this post 📈

It took me seven years to build something that finally made sales.

Today, I am launching on Product Hunt.

This community made all of this possible.

Thank you all so much; this is amazing.

P.S.: Please support my launch, if you haven't already <3

Basic Supplements You Need as an Indie Maker

- Protein for gains
- Creatine for brains
- Ashwagandha for stress
- Curcumin for health
- Zinc for better conversion rate
- Magnesium for the bones to be strong enough for the revenue you'll make

These bad boys have me sleeping like a baby.

10/10, recommend

Chef's Kiss

A nice way to kick off the month.

Have you already made a sale?

I hate jogging.

But it felt good anyway.

I want to move more, to take care of my health and well-being.

I was too focused on money and success this year.

Whether it's push-ups while waiting for a build, going for a walk after lunch, or doing a hardcore workout, something is better than nothing.

Oh shit! I just published my very first YouTube video!

It feels super weird, but we all gotta start somewhere, right?

Let's see if this will change my life just like Building in Public did... 🤞

Check it out and leave some love for a fellow maker ❤️

Just recorded my first YouTube video!

Been putting it off forever tbh

Even today I was watching tons of videos on how to start YT

But in the end I decided to just do SOMETHING

Killing time while my car gets serviced.

I'm working on NativeExpress CLI to further simplify the setup process.

Server Components in React Native! 🚀

Experimental in @expo SDK 52: render and fetch data directly on the server.

Setup:
• Enable "reactServerFunctions" in app.json
• Use Expo Router with new architecture
• Add "use server" to your component

Try it out!

I am more famous than @marc_louvion.

Well... at least I have more followers than him on bsky.

...for
now. :D

Who should I add to my Builders Start Pack?
November 23, 2024 at 2:58 PM
I can't decide 😫

I hate the NativeExpress logo. It looks like every other low-quality product.

I've validated the product and earned money, so it's time for an upgrade.

Which logo is best: 1, 2, 3, or 4?

People talk about how easy it is to gain followers on Bluesky.

However, nobody mentions the lack of engagement and views.

Additionally, is it really beneficial to start with a bunch of followers who aren't genuine connections?
