Design a device for Copy

@atippins.bsky.social’s used our upcoming Ghostline skin as one of our first new standardized skins tha leverages the same scaffolding the community will be able to use to create their own skins.

000

we’ve been pushing hard over the past two weeks to get everything in place that would allow us to open up the skinning engine.

100

the vision for COPY was to always open up the skinning engine “winamp style”, so that anyone could create their own walkie talkie. #BuildInPublic #IndieApp #software #design #iOS

COPY Skin Lab package screen with steps for Package, Details, and Submit, plus options to create a first skin or upload a .copy-skin package up to 8 MB.

If you’re building something, and looking for “your people”, you’ll find them here :)

one of my fave builder communities has become Forg.to . everyone i’ve interacted with has been super friendly, encouraging and always willing to share learnings. plus the founder, Kislay is always super active. #BuildInPublic #IndieApp #software #design #iOS

Alan’s been cooking 👨🏻‍🍳 on Ghostline the past few weeks, and it comes with some fun backstory and lore. Keep an eye out for more about Ghostline and release 1.0.4 over the coming week. #BuildInPublic #IndieApp #software #design #iOS

• a lot of invite optimizations to try and make it easier for users to get their friends on COPY • and hopefully. fingers crossed, we finall get anroid actually submitted to play store for production release this week (it’s been a journey) 🤞🏻

gearing up for a big week. we’re in the home stretch of finalizing release 1.0.4, featuring: • Ghostline, a new tactical themed skin from @atippins.bsky.social. #BuildInPublic #IndieApp #software #design #iOS

151

• Saturday: personal day. if anything timebox time-spent on COPY to an hour at most

000

• Sundays: Write social post and work on our longer form articles, plan goals for the week on how we’re moving the app forward or what we want to learn/test. But no building. • Weeknights: Build, Ship, Learn

100

i think it’s also important to figure out how to manage the workload while finding some sort of balance that doesn’t lead to burn out. trying out a new routine this week - we’ll see if we can get it to stick:

100

still trying to learn a good balance to managing all the things as an indie dev. @atippins.bsky.social and i have ramped up some big projects over the last few weeks, and as a result our social posting seems to be the first thing that falls off. #BuildInPublic #IndieApp #software #design #iOS

COPY passed 5,000 messages sent since launch! Been pleased with the steady growth. Analytics are pointing towards where we have room for optimization: the invite sent → accepted → first message sent/responded funnel. #BuildInPublic #IndieApp #software #design #iOS

Table showing our channel created to invite created to invites accepted funnel. We've seen a 13% increase in channels created, a 29% increase in invites created, and a 10% drop in invites actually accepted.

We're planning to be on the Play Store in a few weeks!

...something i want the agent to understand deeply as we learn and iterate on the engine itself with early testers. plus, the idea that we could get a team plan, and share that stateful dev agent between my parter and i is super interesting.

been seeing a lot of positivity gained from the long-term statefulness of letta agents. i think for us, deep context on the actual skinning engine we're making, everything from designing/coding a skin to submitting it for approval, getting it in the app for people to download is...

Copy — Async walkie talkie

Thx Cameron! COPY's a little private, async walkie-talkie that a friend and I made (getcopy.app). The thing we're most excited about though is bringing back the 'ol winamp skinning customization, and opening up the skinning engine to the community so anyone can create a theme/skin for the app.

getcopy.app

Twelve channels for each of your friends. Hold down to talk, let go to send. No accounts. Private and encrypted.

Matt @mattmoss.me · 25/07/2026

Been following @cameron.stream forever and finally had some time this weekend to sit down with @letta.com to really give it a go. Setting up Steve, my first coding agent specifically for COPY. Going to use it this week to see how it differs, how i like working with it, etc... Open to tips/ideas!

250

We’ve had builds where we turned the sounds off to debug something and the whole app just kinda lost its soul. It’s wild how much personality and usability can live in a few tiny beeps and boops.

000

Matt @mattmoss.me · 25/07/2026

one thing I love about COPY’s sound design: they're a key part of the ux. Static means the channel is empty. A press sound says the button worked. The send chime only plays after your message actually sends. #BuildInPublic #IndieApp #software #design #iOS

130

No specific feedback state during processing (Though that’s a great idea). The plugin let you customize the rules/prompt the agent would use for replying. So you could tell it that you always wanted a brief confirmation, and that would come in almost immediately, and didn’t leave you guessing.

100

the async nature of COPY messages made the perceived latency almost a non-factor :) - async voice was almost the perfect interaction model, too. Just fire a request off and listen to the response when you can, without feeling like you're stuck in a conversation you can't get out of.

000

The first version used self-hosted Whisper and Chatterbox, with provider interfaces for services like ElevenLabs too. Very early. Very scrappy. Still one of my favorite weird COPY experiments. Would you be into us bringing something like this back?

000

early in COPY development, we built an OpenClaw plugin that let an agent join a channel and answer in voice. You could carry your robot around like a strange little walkie-talkie friend. It was kinda magical. #BuildInPublic #IndieApp #software #design #iOS

All that invisible machinery for the least dramatic result possible: You hit Save. The channel name changes. It stays changed. That’s the whole point ;)

000

1.0.3 updates the name immediately on your phone, then confirms it with the server. Other devices catch up live or on their next sync. Offline updates retry. Stale names lose. The newest one sticks.

100

Channel renaming ended up being one of those deceptively complex COPY features. It sounds simple: type a name, hit Save, done. Underneath, it turned into a tiny distributed systems project. #BuildInPublic #IndieApp #software #design #iOS
