iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I spent most of today ideating on a new project idea. I think ideation is becoming my favorite part of building. It challenges my brain, gives me room to be creative, and turns vague ideas into clear next steps. What part of building do you enjoy most? #buildinpublic #SaaS

One thing I struggle with in analytics: every change needs days or weeks before the data is actually useful. That makes it hard to know whether to wait for proof or keep building and validate later. How do you handle this? #buildinpublic #SaaS #analytics

I’m starting to realize how little I actually know about analytics. Today I dug deeper into Umami, improved my setup, and added new stats step by step. It’s surprisingly fun learning a topic that was mostly a black box to me before. #buildinpublic #SaaS #analytics

Am I the only one who struggles to pay for small but useful tools? I often see one, like it, check the price and think: “Nah, I can build this myself.” Sometimes I wonder if that mindset is actually holding me back. Do you try tools first and cancel if they’re not worth it? #buildinpublic #SaaS

I got tired of writing texts, copying them into ChatGPT for corrections, and pasting them back. So I built a small tool that does it directly in the input field. Fully vibe-coded, definitely not perfect yet, but it works. #buildinpublic #AI #vibecoding

A few days ago I rebuilt the Todolytics landing page. Now I’m creating detail pages for its use cases. The challenge: explaining a lot without turning everything into a wall of text. Choosing what to show and what to visualize is harder than expected. #buildinpublic #SaaS

Today I worked on my ChatGPT growth plan. Tech parts went as planned. For the creative side, I chose a different approach that should be more useful to users while keeping the SEO/GEO benefits. One more step toward making 200 Todolytics users by year-end realistic. #buildinpublic #SaaS

Luca @lxca.de · 04/10/2026

Working on my projects with AI has started to feel a bit repetitive. The workflow is often the same, and it doesn’t challenge me that much. So I’m planning my weeks with more variety instead of pure development. Let’s see if that makes me more productive. #buildinpublic #SaaS #AI

Luca @lxca.de · 03/10/2026

I’ve started networking more over the past few weeks. It’s harder than I expected, but also simpler: it mostly takes time and consistency. The best part is hearing how others think. It regularly gives me ideas and perspectives I probably wouldn’t have had on my own. #buildinpublic #SaaS

Luca @lxca.de · 02/10/2026

AI makes me faster, but speed creates a new problem: reviewing code I didn’t fully write. I’m trying to define which parts of my SaaS I need to understand deeply, and where I can trust AI more. Finding that balance feels like a skill on its own. #buildinpublic #SaaS #AI

260

Luca @lxca.de · 01/10/2026

I keep thinking about where to draw the line with AI-assisted coding. I want to build SaaS fast, but keep it clean, secure, and understandable. AI helps me move faster, but I don’t know every part of the codebase anymore. Where do you draw the line? #buildinpublic #SaaS #AI

Luca @lxca.de · 30/09/2026

Since I shared my Todolytics user goal for the end of the year, I’ve been learning a lot about measuring user behavior and attracting new users. Setting that goal already pushed me to learn things I probably wouldn’t have otherwise. It’ll be tough, but I’m sticking with it 🚀 #buildinpublic #SaaS

Luca @lxca.de · 29/09/2026

I have multiple projects, all in different areas. I work on them in phases: a few weeks focused on one, then I switch when another needs more attention. It works, but context switching is still tricky. How do you handle multiple projects at once? #buildinpublic #indiehacker

Luca @lxca.de · 28/09/2026

Just pushed the newly redesigned Todolytics landing page 🚀 todolytics.app It took me quite a while to get to a design in Google Stitch I was actually happy with, but it’s finally live. Looking forward to creating much better designs from here. #buildinpublic #SaaS

Luca @lxca.de · 27/09/2026

I have to admit, I overcomplicated Todolytics. Old flow: Sign up → connect Todoist → start review New flow: Sign up with Todoist → start review Much less friction. Learning: question everything. Don’t do something just because it’s the “standard” way. #buildinpublic #SaaS

Luca @lxca.de · 26/09/2026

Reworking the entire landing page for Todolytics today. And I'm realizing how much harder it is to explain a product than to build it. As a developer, I can spend hours building features. Explaining in one sentence why someone should care? Way harder. #buildinpublic #indiehacker #saas #dev

Luca @lxca.de · 25/09/2026

Today I spent more time chilling than planned because I was low on energy. Instead of forcing myself to be productive, I took the day to recharge and head into the weekend with more energy. I need to do this more often without feeling bad about it. #BuildInPublic #Productivity

Luca @lxca.de · 24/09/2026

I often notice things that could improve my workflow, but put them off because they take time to set up. Today I finally optimized my coding workflow to work across multiple Git worktrees, so I can keep moving instead of waiting for an agent to finish. #BuildInPublic #Coding #DevTools

Luca @lxca.de · 23/09/2026

Todolytics has reached 88 users since registrations opened on May 20th. My challenge for the rest of 2026: reach 200 users by the end of the year. That means ~8 new users per week. Let’s see if I can make it happen 👀 #buildinpublic #SaaS #IndieHacker

Luca @lxca.de · 22/09/2026

Switching from a developer mindset to an entrepreneur mindset is hard. It’s no longer just about building the right product. You also need to support users, grow the userbase, and constantly switch priorities. Definitely something I need to improve. 😄 #buildinpublic #SaaS #entrepreneur

Luca @lxca.de · 21/09/2026

Something I realized: I’m a developer, not a marketer. I know how to build and maintain products, but not how to market them. So now it’s mostly: try, measure, learn, repeat. Any tips for learning SaaS marketing or growing a bootstrapped product? #buildinpublic #SaaS #marketing

Luca @lxca.de · 20/09/2026

Choosing a new technology is hard when you’ve never used it before. I usually ask AI, compare pros and cons, and research what fits best. But sometimes it’s better to just pick one, build with it, and see if it actually fits before switching gets expensive. #buildinpublic #dev

021

Luca @lxca.de · 19/09/2026

Today I added a small feature to Todolytics: users can now define what the Review Assistant should focus on. Weekly reviews are personal. What matters to one person may be irrelevant to another, so giving users control makes the AI less generic and more useful. #buildinpublic #indiedev

Sometimes I ship projects with a UI I’d only call “okay”, knowing I’ll revisit it later. My motto is “learning by doing”: build, ship, and improve. I’d rather ship something imperfect than never ship because I couldn’t decide on the perfect UI. #buildinpublic #indiedev

Luca @lxca.de · 17/09/2026

UI/UX is still the part that takes me the longest when building new features or projects. I often build something, look at it and think: “Hmm… this isn’t it.” The hard part isn’t noticing that. It’s figuring out what would actually make it better. #buildinpublic #indiedev

Luca @lxca.de · 16/09/2026

One thing I’ve learned since launching my Todoist Weekly Review tool: Users have very different needs, including ones I never even considered. The hard part isn’t building features. It’s figuring out what actually doesn’t work for users and why, then improving it. #buildinpublic #indiedev

Luca @lxca.de · 15/09/2026

I love building things and could easily spend the whole day at my desk. But I've learned that being productive isn't just about working more. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is close the laptop and move your body for an hour. #Productivity #Fitness

Luca @lxca.de · 14/09/2026

Am I the only one who doesn’t really have a notes system… but somehow still does? Anything I want to remember goes into a separate Todoist project. When I need it, I just search for it. It works surprisingly well, even if mixing notes and tasks feels a little weird. #productivity #Todoist

Luca @lxca.de · 14/09/2026

I love the concept of MVPs 💎 Before starting a project, I brainstorm features and ask, "Is this actually necessary, or just nice to have?" That keeps the MVP small, lets me ship faster, learn from real usage, and avoid building features nobody asked for. #BuildInPublic #MVP

I finally took some time to set up proper monitoring for my servers. I ended up finding Beszel in my GitHub stars and gave it a try. Now my infrastructure is monitored properly and I get notified when something goes wrong. 👀 #SelfHosting #DevOps

Dark-mode Beszel dashboard showing an overview of multiple monitored servers with CPU, memory, disk, load, network, services, uptime, and agent version columns. Server names are visibly hidden/redacted.

I love optimizing things by building better workflows. That’s why I built Todolytics, my Todoist Weekly Review extension. I’m currently testing a new workflow that not only reviews the past week, but also helps plan the next one. Hopefully shipping it in 1–2 weeks. #buildinpublic 🚀

011

Luca @lxca.de · 09/09/2026

I constantly have ideas for new products, features, and little nice-to-haves. I deliberately pursue only a few. If I chased every idea, I’d never ship anything. Write it down and move on. If it’s a good idea, it’ll still be good later.
