Freelance work has finished. Now I need to work out which of the gazillion half-finished projects I have started to promote to 'possible earner'. The new Meta VR glasses are tempting me to push forwards with Spatial Fusion. Working in a niche like that may be a way to avoid the SAASpocalypse.

Still alive. Touching grass, doing some freelance work and playing with some prototypes for different business ideas. Grass is itchy, I don't see what all the fuss is about to be honest.

Well, it's been fun but I've decided to abandon any attempt to monetize dailyappidea.dev and just make everything on the site free. The new goal for the site is to just be useful (and hopefully grow traffic). #buildinpublic

Day 263 of building dailyappidea.dev I just added a free DNS name generator and lookup tool to the site. It will also help you pick a different brand name if your preferred choice is taken. #buildinpublic

Day 261 of building dailyappidea.dev (and other stuff) I've been switching between projects, but I've also spent some time improving the UX for this one. Along the way I added nifty cost modelling tool that you can use to model the profitability of a software venture. Its free! #buildinpublic

One of the best things about having zero users is that I can monkey patch my production DB and nobody will ever know ;) #buildinpublic #bestpractice

Good news about SpecKit - it does seem to give you much tighter control over the vibe coding process. Forcing an analyze->research->plan->implement->test loop for every feature really cuts down on rogue behavior, feature creep and back tracking. I'm liking it so far. #buildinpublic

ParsecXR @parsecxr.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Had a long rambling conversation with Claude designing a multi-agent ensemble with scrum like oversight and tight feature definition, and in the end was told 'Congrats, you just reinvented SpecKit' So this week's task is to learn SpecKit github.github.com/spec-kit/ Time to level up #buildinpublic

Day 250 of building dailyappidea.dev Just pushed the updated version of the site that completes the pivot to an application generation tools platform. This seems like a good place to put the project on the back burner for now and try some other ideas. #buildinpublic

Day 248 of building dailyappidea.dev FREE TOOLS I've just deployed public, free AI tools to this site: Application Idea Generator: dailyappidea.dev/tools/genera... Application Idea Validator: dailyappidea.dev/tools/valida... Check them out! Tell your friends. Feedback welcome! #buildinpublic

Today marks the 1-year anniversary of my journey as a solo founder. Here is what I've learned - you need a validated idea. Always validate before building - you need a distribution plan. Building stuff is easier than selling it - Getting users can be brutal. Keeping them is harder #buildinpublic

Day 242 of building dailyappidea.dev Making progress adding idea free validation and generation tools to the site. Also pushed a UX update that looks a little nicer, especially in dark mode. #buildinpublic

ParsecXR @parsecxr.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Day 240 of building dailyappidea.dev Removed all paywalls. Free members now get access to _everything_ as part of the pivot to a future PAYG model. The public site also now gives access to the previous week of ideas and validations. #buildinpublic

Day 238 of building dailyappidea.dev Took some time off for a family vacation and came back to flatlined analytics, but got some good feedback of some things to change. Working on revamping the site now. If this change doesn't move the needle I'll have to pivot to other ideas. #buildinpublic

About a year ago, someone asked me to make an IOS Todo app that supported recurring tasks and reminders, but which didn't require a subscription or a vendor account. I'm not fast but I get there eventually Fingers crossed for App Store app #2 #buildinpublic #indiedev

Day 217 of building DailyAppIdea.dev Still working on adding an iterative LLM validation tool. Its 80% done, so obviously I still have 4/5ths of the work still to do. Today's idea highlights that the site is biased towards 'socially useful' as well as 'profitable' ideas: #buildinpublic

ParsecXR @parsecxr.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

One of the things I had on my bucket list was 'publish an app to the Apple Store'. Job done. apps.apple.com/us/app/daypo... It's ad ad-free, subscription-free minimalist life milestone timer. I have a bunch of promo codes. DM me if you want one. #buildinpublic #solodev

Day 210 of building dailyappidea.dev in public The PH boost is real. Doubled my daily usage and signups (probably a spike). Big problems with activation, though - people are signing up and bouncing. The current core idea of the site is a draw but not a hook. I have ideas ... #buildinpublic

I've been whirling between Claude sessions as I try and work out the next steps in the projects I have on the go. Serial, methodical development is yesterday's news. Random whacking of the Y key in multiple parallel projects is the new hotness. #buildinpublic

Who else stops reading Claude permissions requests after about the 3rd one and just starts spamming the `1` key like Homer Simpsson's nodding bird? One day someone is going to press '1' too many times and nuke the moon.

Day 199 of building dailyappidea.dev I can't see to leave this project alone. Today I added additional analytics events and an onboarding tour for new members Today's idea is pretty good - a digital timecapsule platform for schools and communities #buildinpublic

Lost the whole day getting sidetracked on a side project. Here's the pitch: A lightweight OSS framework that enables web UX to be used to develop multi window desktop applications which can be published straight to the MS store (e.g. multi window, store compatible Electron/Tauri) #buildinpublic

Day 197 of dailyappidea.dev First week live: Working on SEO and Analytics because doing things backwards is apparently how I roll. 5% sign up rate so far (early days) - I'll take it. Need more users (don't we all?) to work out if I have any activation or conversion issues #buildinpublic

ParsecXR @parsecxr.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Day 195 of building dailyappidea.dev Had a brainwave and added validation assessments for all site ideas as a sign-up incentive. The validation system also gives me a feedback loop for rating and improving site content #buildinpublic #solodev

Day 191 of building dailyappidea.dev Setup Google Analytics and started the distribution grind. Started spiking my next project, which will be XR/Unity based with a SAAS back end Today's idea has potential. A site competitive 'best of XXXX' polling. #buildinpublic

Day 190 of building dailyappidea.dev Its .... alive! After implementing the beta feedback I decided to remove the whitelist feature and open up the site for reals. For better or worse it is now open to Joe Public. We'll see if he ever turns up. #buildinpublic #solodev #indiehacker

Today's vibe. My keyboard bricked today. No power, no charge light. Nothing. Tried everything up to and including strategic slapping to fix it. Dead as a doornail. Oh well, it was over 5 years old, and it had a good run. It started working again the instant after I ordered a new one.

My current project is moving from build to operate. It was a learn-by-doing project so worthwhile even if it isn't a success, but it will be lucky to break even. I'm starting to get an itch to get back to Unity/XR development. With GoogleXR coming, the time may be finally right
