I’ve been refreshing the main menu for my phonics app. The new version makes your current lesson and progress much clearer, but the old one had something nice about that big green Practise button - you immediately knew what to do. Before or After? #IndieDev #iOSDev #AppDesign

Productivity tip: Make a to-do list. Then make a second to-do list of things you actually want to do. Ignore the first one.

I should probably settle on a game name at some point 😬 #gamedev #indiedev #godot #indiegames

For solo indie development, I’m starting to prefer #Godot over #Unity. Unity is obviously more mature and has a much bigger ecosystem, but Godot feels lighter, faster, and somehow less exhausting to work in. I didn’t expect that when I started using it.

Got some really useful feedback on my cat stealth game, so I’m working through it 👀 First thing to fix: the way the guards rotate 🤖 Small change, but it should make their movement feel a lot more natural. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #indiegames

One of the strange things about building your own software is spending half a day automating something that probably took you 30 seconds manually. Still worth it.

I kept leaving loads of tabs and windows open because I knew I’d forget what I was doing if I closed them. So I built a Mac app that saves your workspace and lets you restore it later. It’s called Where Was I? Launched it today 👇 www.producthunt.com/products/whe...

I made a simple phonics app to help kids learn to read. It introduces basic sounds (like s, a, t, p, i, n) and builds them into words step by step. Everything is designed to be simple, clear, and easy to follow. App Store - apps.apple.com/us/app/phoni...

I’m not great at marketing, so I tried to make it fun instead. I made this little trailer for parents and kids — I may have gotten carried away, but at least I enjoyed it :) Mobile app coming soon!
