Working on a new color based daily game, this time a sudoku where you have colors instead of numbers... still a beta version.

My daily game colorguesser has at least 12k unique users per day. It's mostly targeted at designers and color-lovers. If you want to promote your project, I am selling ad-spaces for a month. DM me for more details. (RT if are not interested, but know someone who is)

I put it online for now: trailerspoiler.com It's a project to rate trailers and see which one are worth watching *before* and which one *after*. Still work in progress, but if anyone is keen to test

The indie dev paradox: you don't want to talk about your app, but you want downloads. 😅

One of these sets of screenshots perform way better than the other ones, which one?

The boost for my app has ended. time to focus on marketing now.

That was interesting - thanks for sharing.

Submitted a few versions of LangDiary (dot com), mainly some bug fixes and crashes I noticed. A new feature is that you can now choose how much the app should change your writing.

Interesting, I didn’t think that far, but even then how does block and inline make sense?

Kiru 🇨🇭 @kiruio.bsky.social · 01/07/2025

Life could have been easier if this document.scrollIntoView() function had logical argument names, but nah let's screw over the programmers. Could have had logical names like horizontal and vertical, but instead let's call it block and inline. Makes more sense.

Hi everyone, I built a journaling app to improve my French (works with a bunch of other languages as well): ✍️ Write daily 🧠 Get instant corrections 📈 Learn naturally by reflecting on your day Now live on the App Store → langdiary.com

how is the product page view going up but the conversion rate going down??? @buildinpublic.com

I submitted ColorGuesser.com (a stupid project I made long time ago) to HN. Give me some love by upvoting: hn.algolia.com?q=colorguesser

Guess the color by name

You are given a color name and have to guess how it looks like. The closer your guess is the more points you collect.

When App Store insist, you don't comply with the rules, but you do. #buildinpublic

After endless back and forth, I can see my new app LangDiary finally being close to be accepted.Let the App Store gods have mercy with me. if you wanna pre-order go ahead: apps.apple.com/us/app/langu...

Just submitted the final version to the App Store! What started as a simple idea turned into an MVP, which I launched for pre-order on App Store After spending the past few days polishing everything, it's finally ready to go live.

Vibe coding is fun, but fixing bug without understanding the code is a recipe for disaster.

I feel so stupid. Just discovered that TikTok tells you exactly when to post your videos to maximize the interactions.

Kiru 🇨🇭 @kiruio.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

Trying to b consistent here, but it's hard when the numbers fluctuate so much

Kiru 🇨🇭 @kiruio.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

I started posting random videos on Tiktok, ~250 views is not much, but if I do that every day, that's already 7.5k potential views. #buildinpublic

Getting out of my comfort zone. Trying to create some videos talking about my app and how I sue it and showing product updates. The first few videos are going to be horrible quality probably, but worth a try. #buildinpublic.

Sneaky @Stripe telling you "you have to migrate" by giving you a choice: > Stripe is deprecating usage-records billing. Moving forward, you can migrate to billing meters, our only solution for usage-based billing.

Is vibe-coding just a fancy term for pair programming with an LLM?

The 2024 App Store Transparency Report is interesting. Here are some interesting numbers: 1 out of 4 App Review submission gets rejected. ~63% of the app reviews are for the Performance category ~23% for legal ~19% for Design

Trying to understand the stripe model (bc I have to migrate some old code). Just discovered this wonderful schema page. It's a bit cumbersome to use and could be improved with some tiny descriptions of what each model describes ... but already miles better than reverse-engineering their docu

That's a great tip! You could make an abstraction around to reuse it

Very curious about the conversation rate!

I am using GitLab or GitHub for most of my projects, I don't remember the landing page when I signed up. My main usage is 99% as git-repo. The rest is issue management and PR-features. Nowadays, when you check the landing page, it's 99% AI and 1% git-repo. Is that their core feature?

Elixir is the language where the creator will review your random snippet of code.
