So much dust you'd think the ancient Egyptians set up the network.... #tech #retro

Okay, I am here to inform you that once again I have infact cooked! Something that's bugged me for a long time about Bearly Fit and that is the low end Android experience. Especially on first boot. #buildinpublic #reactnative #sqlite #claude

🥰🥰🥰 Because I don't collect data it's difficult to get feedback sometimes. So it's really helpful when people leave feedback like this that tells me what's important to them. It also shows that's not everyone thinks about health in the same way. Everyone has different priorities. #buildinpublic

Dear Companies, Did you know that if you hire me, Not can I afford to pay my bills, but I can also afford a Microduck. And isn't that what we all really want in life? For me to be able to buy a micro duck? Thank you for your consideration

It's fascinating to see how Victorians imaged our world. These post cards dated from 1900-1910 are meant to depict how the world would look in the year 2000. - Flying cabs - Automatic cleaning machines - Remote control farms - Barbers done entirely by machine 1/5 #world #future #tech

Sometimes simplicity is all we need. When I stream I usually try to avoid using LLM's. People come to hang out and see my code badly so I personally think it's boring for viewers to watch me baby sit an LLM. 1/4 #buildinpublic #bearlyfit @bearly.fit

Today I have been mostly cleaning up the new store images. I don't think people realise how much "extra" work goes into product development. Building the product is just the start. 1/3 #buildinpublic #startup

My one regret is that I didn't spend more time arguing with people online

Android makes cloud backups complicated. So I had to spend today creating mock data to test backup sizes. Android cloud backups have a 20mb per app limit. So far that's not been an issue for @bearly.fit. 1/5 #developerlife #react #buildinpublic #fitness

Investors occasionally approach me about @bearly.fit And each time I've rejected it. You can build something fast if you just throw money at it. But building something amazing - takes time. The tech world has enjoyed easy and cheap investment for many years. 1/5 #buildinpublic #developerlife

Month 10 of Building in public! I wanted to take a slightly different approach to these posts. So I'll start sharing more detailed stats, give better insight into the bigger "building in public" picture and possibly do a write up which goes into even more detail. #buildinpublic #app Part 1/7

What a difference a year makes. I recently fell off the wagon, but in the last week i've managed to get back on the horse again Whilst it's horrifying to see where I was a year ago It's also inspiring to see how far I've come in that same year. #fitnesssky #health #progress

Over the years I've shared a lot of stories, opinions and ideas. With the launch of @bearly.fit, I wanted to share more Here's my story mahybe.substack.com/p/bearly-fit... #buildinpublic #bearlyfit #startup

Crazy how far we've come. I'm fairly sure this was my first post about @bearly.fit. I still started building both the app and the brand back in 2023. Even if the bulk of the work didn't actually start for a full year later. more...👇 #buildinpublic #fitsky #health

Well this is awesome! In 2023, when I first started streaming like many streamer I struggled talking to an empty room for hours at a time. I tried a few different types of stream, including gaming, pumpkin carving and even building a log cabin! But nothing really stuck. #streamer #twitch

I know this is really goofy. But one thing I've enjoyed immensely whilst building @bearly.fit are naming my native modules with Bear puns. Likely no one will ever see this so i'm sharing it because it makes me smile every time I'm working in the native code!

Imagine being a recruiter And taking pride in telling someone who's looking for work that they're "toxic and just at your job" What a shit human.

Today I have most been working on a webhooks feature for Bearly Fit. This is mainly aimed at power users with a subscription (£25 a year) and is designed to let you connect the app up with other platforms. #fitnessapp #buildinpublic #bearlyfit #fitsky ...

A few days ago, UK Judges changed the definition of a "woman" in the Equality act 2010. Which means that organizations that allow trans men/women in to single sex spaces can be held accountable by law. In the process, it means that - Trans men, must use women's wards ...

Okay... well that was unexpected they approved @bearly.fit for release! I should probably get that data sorted...
