One of my favourite things about building my own apps is that an idea doesn’t have to stay an idea for very long. You can think of something, build a rough version, put it in front of people and see where it goes. That still feels a little bit like magic. #indiedev

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

Appreciate the interest! Been learning some music and audio stuff on the side, so I'm looking forward to playing around with it myself.

I hadn't heard of Little Kitty, Big City, I love the cute art style! Hopefully more updates on my game soon. Thanks for the interest! Getting the word out is the hardest part, so I've started much earlier this time around.

Thanks! I started it for a competition a while back but never finished. Kept tinkering with it in my spare time and ended up finding it genuinely fun to play. Hopefully others will too!

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 really like the art style and lighting, would be cool if we could turn the blood off (but that's probably just me 😅)

Thanks! 😄 I’m glad you liked it. I’d definitely like to put out a demo once I’ve got a bit more of the game polished and ready to show.

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.

Thanks friend! Still a long way to go. I’ve got a few improvements I want to make to the app itself, and I’m still figuring out the marketing side too 😅

Kas Builds 🔧 @kasbuilds.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Good question. I mainly built the app for myself because I find myself switching tasks pretty regularly between coding, art/design and marketing/admin stuff. I kept ending up with loads of different windows and tabs open just so I could remember where I’d left off.

Kas Builds 🔧 @kasbuilds.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
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!

Haha “functioning” might be generous. You're probably already doing this but excluding library/ and builds/ folders. Saved me a ton of headaches.
