A quick photo of @potch.app on a demo iPhone 18... wait… though I think I'll pass on actually installing it, haha 😅. Still, I can't wait to see the iPhone Duo. Designing an interface that folds just right is going to be a fun challenge. #indiedev #iosdev #iphone18 #iphoneduo

This is fixed in the upcoming v2.0.5 (144). While I was at it, I also squashed a few similar bugs that were pretty rare and only showed up at certain specific GPS coordinates. I'll share the full changelog as soon as the update is live on the App Store! #indiedev #iosdev bsky.app/profile/griz...

Found 2 minor bugs on @potch.app : place names in other alphabets, and time zones. Same city can be treated as a new one, in Japan for example. Place name data is a mess everywhere, there's no global convention for it. 🧑‍💻Testing fixes now, no date yet but I'll keep you posted! #indiedev #iosapp

A new little software that I wanted to make recently, finally I think I will publish it soon. I wanted to do something like retro UI. (maybe Linux & Windows in the future) grizz.lu/en/works/gri... #indiedev #music #macos

When I wrote the Q&A article for v2, I included a bunch of paragraphs, but also with before/after shot showing how the interface evolved. I thought it’d be interesting to share that evolution, since this is my first iOS app. What do you think? #iosdev #indiedev #ui

I found a small bug in my app @potch.app : the feed of news doesn't update because of a too strict cache rule. I have identified the bug and it will be for a minor update 2.0.4 scheduled for the week! I will also add article image cache management + an in-app option to empty this cache ! #indiedev

Potch 2.0.3 is now awaiting verification. This update fixes bugs and improves a few features. Here the change log. Have a good day ! ☺️ #indiedev #iosapp #indieapp #indiegame

Hi! This update fixes bugs and improves a few features:
◎ The XP-gain window shown after adding a win was wrongly stating that expanding the garden was possible at certain levels that didn't actually match the game.

◎ The win search had stopped taking many keywords into account, in particular date searches (e.g. "20 May 2025") in different languages, and sometimes returned inconsistent results.

◎ Editing a win's text, or adding/removing photos, wasn't showing up straight away in the hub that gathers all of your wins.

◎ The Face ID / Touch ID authentication button was only translated into French.

■ Improvement: Context menu → The icons in a win's context menu now have a label, making it easier to understand what each one does.

■ Improvement: The keyboard no longer opens automatically on the "Search" view, so it won't hide the suggestions.

■ Improvement: Wins category hub → The month is now shown so you can tell apart a win written in a previous month. The old layout only showed the day number and the weekday name, which made them impossible to distinguish in the hub.

I'm not very active on social networks because I recently moved to Japan which takes me a little time to finalize some administrative things. And, I'll learn Japanese 🇯🇵 language at the same time as developing my projects @potch.app & my game @dawnlessera.com ! #indiegame #indiedev

ok tonight I'm going to the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 orchestral concert in Paris and I already know this is going to be something special I love orchestras: hearing a game soundtrack with real instruments just hits different, like your whole body feels every note #Expedition33 #GameMusic #GameDev

2/2 When you log a win, you earn XP. By accumulating XP, you level up. And every day, you can get a raffle ticket. You exchange your ticket in the garden to get a random seed. There are rarities: common, uncommon, rare, epic. You plant your seed in a plot, and it grows over time. #indiegame #iosapp

Funny dev story: spent hours wondering why haptics kept dropping on my iPhone in my iOS app Potch. Cold restarts, nothing. Plot twist: it was my own thermal protection. iOS quietly cuts haptics in serious/critical thermal state. Now Potch tells you why (^_^) #indiedev #buildinpublic

Screenshot about "Performance View Settings" in iOS App called Potch. "Good to know
If your device gets warm or you'd like to save battery, you can tweak these settings. The automatic mode takes care of everything for you.
chip icon A14 Bionic
thermometer icon: Automatic adjustment
Your device is heating up right now, and that can come from many things (an app update, charging the battery, etc.). Potch adapts on its own with fewer visual effects and vibrations. Everything comes back once it cools down. (^_^)"

After months of work, Potch 2.0 hit Release Candidate, now live on TestFlight with a small group of testers. Goal: hunt down the last bugs before the App Store launch. Finally seeing the finish line on this v2, started late 2025. Launching late May 2026. #buildinpublic #indiedev #iOSapp

About my future game "Dawnless Era" : first pass at the official color palette. Two rules I set for myself: no pure black, no pure white. ▶︎ In a world lit only by a dying red dwarf, even darkness keeps a bit of warmth. #pixelart #ui #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #godot

Potch's mascot now breathes and blinks. Worked with a Rive animator to bring the little pot to life: blinks are triggered randomly from code for a natural feel. V2 coming soon. Thoughts on the new look? ☺️🤔 #buildinpublic #indiedev

I'm building new background environments in Swift for @potch.app with some new animations. It was so annoying having to recompile every time, so I'm making a debug mode to place the elements in the right place, a HUGE time-saver 😂 #buildinpublic #ios #gamedev
