Since a month ago, I noticed a tiny but super engaged group of users using my app differently They've basically ignored all the social media & content creation features (you know, the whole point of the app 😅)

Currently writing an apology email to some users because of a dumb mistake #buildinpublic

I'm like a couple months late but finally launched Conteflow's web app (www.conteflow.com)! 😭 And I got my first stripe subscription from web app! 🥳

I disappeared for weeks because life went full chaos mode for a while • One grandparent in ICU from cancer tumor • Other grandparent in ICU from stroke • Close friend diagnosed with cancer • One parent caught in legal crossfire as scapegoat Thankfully the worst has passed. I'm back building

People either love or hate my app's onboarding This split drove me crazy for months: One half loved how comprehensive the personalization is The other half hates how long it is and drops out I finally found the perfect solution and I'm kinda mad I didn't do this earlier #buildinpublic

oof, trying to work while sick was NOT A GOOD IDEA Even more mortifying was almost fainting at the grocery checkout line of all places 😭

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 07/07/2025

Suddenly getting a lot of love from Google Play and I still have no idea why 😳 Users that discovered the app through Google Play literally jumped from <10 users a week to >200 a week #buildinpublic

Welp, always check balcony drains before a typhoon Had to go out in my bathroom slippers to clear clogged drains cuz rainwater was flooding into the bedroom💀 At least the rain was warm

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

I think I'm feeling a tiny hint of burnout lately Maybe cuz I'm like 1-2 weeks away from launching the web app so it gives a false sense of seeing the finish line when it's actually another starting line

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

Setting up cross-platform subscriptions between web and mobile is loads of fun 🙃 #buildinpublic

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 23/06/2025

Currently in that magic flow state where features are just flowing 😌 Knocked out voice profile analysis, AI interview, post generation, quick posts AND draft editor Just a few more to go: - Schedule - Published - Onboarding - Settings - Stripe Aiming to launch by end of next week! #buildinpublic

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

So I'm building this voice profile analysis feature and discovering all these weird writing habits I never noticed before Apparently I start like 25% of my posts with 'So' (which I'm literally doing right now) #buildinpublic

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

Got 3 additional months of runway from 1 week of client work 💰 Finally free for the next couple months to focus on building!

010

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Taking an involuntary break from my app turned out to not be so bad Not being in the weeds helped put some distance and i ended up thinking a lot about the bigger picture and future directions lately It gave me some tentative ideas and clarity about who I’m building the app for

050

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

People who juggle a day job AND building a business on the side are seriously built different I'm working on a client project for only a week and I'm unable to context switch to my app at all You guys are superhuman (or killing yourself lol)

040

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

Got some feedback from a couple generous users 🙏 And the verdict is: hurry up and build the web app and add voice mode to interviews 🫡

010

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 01/06/2025

Zero lines of code today but it was my most productive day yet I spent half of today writing emails to users for feedback 🥳 #buildinpublic

2100

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

Got an emergency request from an old client so I’ll be away from building for a whole week or 2 😭 Normally I'd be very grumpy but this is for a special client who named their internal tool (that I built) after ME No one has EVER named anything after me before

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

I've been wrestling with this tricky onboarding step for the past month It’s a relatively high effort question with a user drop-off rate of like 20% I rewrote the copy like 3 or 4 times but none of them made a difference

120

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 23/05/2025

One of the most requested features is finally getting my full attention The web app for Conteflow is coming in a few weeks!

020

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

I recently checked where users heard about my app and it's appearing in the most random places I've been heads down fixing and building for weeks, barely did any marketing... But somehow it reached 2,500 signups in a month 😳

130

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 19/05/2025

Finally wrapped up my (painful) X and LinkedIn integrations 🥳 My feature creep monster also couldn’t help adding "just one more thing"... • Image attachments • Notifications for scheduled posts • Haptic feedback on everything! Forcing myself to stop now so I can actually ship

030

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

LinkedIn is winning against X for shittiest developer experience How do you guys create a test profile that last longer than a day? Even after I followed every rule in their TOS for test profiles, my test profile still get restricted Like is it normal to require a gov id for a test profile? 💀

020

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

After a decade of working in B2B, I'm tired of building for distant users that I never get to talk to Yeah, B2C might be harder, more competitive, and less predictable... The grass might not be greener in B2C, but at least I'll get to see real people using what I build

010

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

Currently debating which is worse: X or LinkedIn API integration Honestly, I thought X's API was a headache until I met LinkedIn's mess Their documentations are freaking crazy, half the time whatever scope or endpoint you’re using is deprecated or for the wrong scope

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 09/05/2025

TIL: The fastest way to give yourself a heart attack is to accidentally drain a couple hundred users' credits 💀 The culprit? Credits were being deducted for EVERY scheduled interview... ...whether users showed up or not (most forgot they had scheduled interviews)

110

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

My app going mini viral several weeks ago felt amazing until I realized most users were not my ICP 🙃 It's a weird emotional rollercoaster: Day 1: "OMG it's happening! People are downloading!" Day 7: "Wait... why is retention dropping?" Day 14: "Oh... these aren't the users I built this for"

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 05/05/2025

Sometimes the most incredible support comes from the most unexpected places I was ready to give up my apartment to extend runway Then my landlord told me to stay and not worry about paying rent for the next 6 months I really wasn’t expecting the person I pay rent to become my biggest benefactor 🥹

040

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

There are two basic features I super regret not adding in my mobile app from day one No upgrade reminders = some users still on old versions No rating requests = missing those sweet app store ratings 😭

110

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

Today was a fun day 💀 Tried logging into my LinkedIn developer account Phone verification required: Phone #1: Failed Phone #2: Failed Phone #3: Failed Phone #4: Failed Got blocked for too many attempts... Only to realize hours later I was using the wrong email 🤦‍♀️

120

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

Been living in debug mode for a week, but finally got the app submitted for review 😮‍💨 Next up: actually building what users asked for! • Publish to social media platforms (esp LinkedIn) • Web app Back to building! 💪

010

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

Been coding like a madwoman in my coding cave lately There’s nothing like seeing how real users use the app to realize how many little leaks there are 😅 Half of my dev time is spent on improving onboarding rn

040

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 25/04/2025

Thanks to all the amazing feedback from users, my todo list keeps getting longer 😆 I hope there's no penalty for sending too many app updates to app store reviewers...I think I've sent like 5 in the past 2 weeks alone

010

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 23/04/2025

I'm noticing a pattern with my ProductHunt launches... The higher the upvotes, the faster it died 🤣

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 21/04/2025

Guys, I was just celebrating my 10th user 3 days ago. And now I'm looking at 1500+ new users 😱 Someone pinch me!

3100

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

I woke up this morning excited to see whether I got my 50th user yet Found an extra zero in there - over 500! 😱😱😱

050

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Any russian speaker here who can check if a popular Russian influencer or website mentioned the app Conteflow? I have no idea why but I'm getting hundreds of signups from Russian users and these seem to be like real users doing normal user things. Google, twitter, bluesky turned up nothing for me

110

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 18/04/2025

Shit, I actually have to build out my analytic dashboards now cuz I'm losing track of how many signups there are (getting hard to manually count after like 30)

010

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 18/04/2025

Just hit a tiny but meaningful milestone: 10 real users who aren't my mom or my test accounts! 🎉 (and WTF, even got a surprise angel offer in my DMs!!)

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 17/04/2025

Guys, I’m planning to head over to Reddit soon 🫡 What are your best tips to not get ignored (or slaughtered) over there?

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

After 4 failed attempts, I finally built a tool that solves my biggest pain point as an introvert builder 🚀 It’s a content creation productivity tool that interviews YOU for your stories and insights App Store: apps.apple.com/us/app/conte... Google Play: play.google.com/store/apps/d...

I've been grinding remotely for 7 years now I can't go back to a 9-5 but anyone kinda miss having nice coworkers to chill with sometime? Or maybe I just miss decorating my coworkers desks 🤔 Found this in my old folders

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

Well this is embarrassing - I just found out I didn't need those 20 beta testers for Google Play after all (thanks to org account) 🤦‍♀️ I'll take it though, one less hurdle in my way! Now just gotta wait out the 7-day review.

000

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

Dude, my mom just started using chatGPT After spending my whole life trying to get her to use Google (and failing), I've been replaced by AI Still processing this tbh

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

After bracing for the App Store review, I found myself... impressed? Or maybe my bar is low. The last time I submitted an app (5 years ago): - Waited 1 week for review - Reviewer mistook my language reader app for a browser app (cuz it uses webview? 🤷‍♀️) - Rejected cuz "no value as a browser"

120

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 06/04/2025

That moment when you've done your absolute best but still expect the App Store to find something to reject 😅 But hey, I FINALLY SUBMITTED MY APP! 🎉 Now let me go suffer through the whole process again but for Google Play

030

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

I think I'll be able to submit to App Store tomorrow! 🥳 Currently slaving over the app screenshots and description. How does the first few screenshots look?

010

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

Current app status: Development: ✅ Staging: ✅ Production: ❌ (data not showing up 🫠) Let's see if I can submit it to App Store by end of this week...

030

Eva @evactivate.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

I haven’t abandoned my app btw! I’ve been busting my butt moving everything to mobile because there were frustrating limitations with a web app Particularly for interview chats and capturing notes on the go The mobile notifications alone are worth it to fight my procrastinations lol. 😂
