CoffeePomodoro.app just passed 1,000 reviews on Google Play at 4.8 stars. 50K+ downloads, ~1,070 reviews. Roughly 2 people in 100 ever write one. So every review is someone giving you a minute of their life for nothing. I read all of them. Thank you. #buildinpublic #saas #startup #angelinvestor

Onboarding isn't an event. It's a reference. CoffeePomodoro.app tour used to show up once, on first launch, when people just wanted to start a timer. Almost everyone skipped it. Now it lives in Settings under Help. Take the tour again, any time. #buildinpublic #productivity

Nobody asked why I spent my nights playing video games. The day I started building a Pomodoro app, everyone had an opinion. CoffeePomodoro is now #3 in the US Play Store for "pomodoro app" and "pomodoro time". Two years of showing up. Keep building.

200 days on Product Hunt 🔥 Today I hit a 200-day streak on Product Hunt. 200 days of discovering products, meeting makers, sharing ideas, and showing up. Started as a habit. Now it’s part of my daily routine. Here’s to the next 200. 🚀 Thanks a lot! @rrhoover.bsky.social 🔥 #BuildInPublic

800 reviews. 4.8⭐. Built by me. 🥹 As a solo indie developer, seeing 800 people take the time to review my app honestly means a lot. 50K+ downloads, 800 reviews, and still building. 🚀 Thank you for the support. ❤️ #IndieDev #BuildInPublic

Just hit 700 reviews and a 4.8 average rating for CoffeePomodoro! 🤯 Building a cross-platform app solo is a wild ride, but seeing people actually use and love it makes every line of code worth it. ☕️🚀 #indiedev #buildinpublic #KMP

Six months ago an agency quoted me four figures for CoffeePomodoro's store screenshots. This week I made them myself. Four days, Figma, Blender and GPT. Are they as good? Probably not. But I love how they turned out. #buildinpublic #grow #productivity

Updates for my app, CoffeePomodoro.app, have been released on both the Play Store and the App Store. Let’s all start growing our plants! #update #buildinpublic #plants

1.5 years ago, only a friend and I believed in CoffeePomodoro. Today, we reached 500 reviews and a 4.8 rating! This means touching 500 hearts. Helping so many people is an indescribable feeling. Thank you for being part of this. A journey from a single coffee bean to thousands of cups... ☕ #build

Your focus screen just got greener 🌿 Choose from 12+ plants and watch yours grow while you focus. The longer the session runs, the taller it gets, fully grown right when the timer ends. New screen plants are live in coffeepomodoro.app ☕ #buildinpublic #news #update #ux #ui

A user left this review last week: "I've tried 10 Pomodoro apps. This is the one." Today I noticed she wasn't alone. 400 reviews. 4.9 stars. I don't know what to say except: thank you. ✅ #buildinpublic #indiedev

A comment that woke me up. The fact that people are leaving such heartfelt comments about the app you created actually shows that what you’re doing is touching people’s hearts. That feeling is priceless and, to me, more valuable than making millions, because every heart is priceless. #indiedev

Okay, I have an idea for my app coffeepomodoro.app and I can't stop thinking about it: Pets. 🐱🐶🐹 Tiny companions that keep you company while you focus. The engineering will hurt a little. Worth it. My work is ongoing, more soon. ☕ #buildinpublic #idea #pets

$1.21. 1.5 years ago I refreshed my dashboard hoping for ONE user a day. Most days: zero. Now a "New Subscription" alert wakes me almost every morning. Best alarm clock there is. The silence at the start wasn't the end of the story — just the longest chapter. ☕ #buildinpublic #personaldevelopment

I forgot to update my screenshots after a recent coffeepomodoro.app update. 🤦‍♂️ Seems small, but users care about details. You must always present your product accurately. Realized my mistake and fixed it right away! 🚀 #indiedev #buildinpublic #lessonlearned #learning #devlife

Turning a 3-star review into a 5-star hits different! ☕️🍅 A user reported my floating timer disappearing. I immediately found the bug and shipped a fix. Seeing their updated review (Edit: It runs more better now, thanks!) made my day. Users just want to be heard. 💚🧡 #buildinpublic #indiedev

300 reviews at 4.9★ for CoffeePomodoro today. ☕ What building solo taught me: → The best features were users' ideas, not mine. → Small, steady updates beat big rare ones. → Keeping a 4.9 is harder than earning it. Thank you to everyone who shared feedback. 🙏 #indiedev #buildinpublic #milestone

The leaderboard update for my app, coffeepomodoro.app, took up only 55.3 KB. Of course, the main reason for this is that I started with clean architecture from the very beginning and adhered to those principles. Otherwise, my app could be hundreds of megabytes right now. #productiviy #buildinpublic

A few of my users have requested a leaderboard feature for my app, coffeepomodoro.app. I’ve started working on it, and this will be a journey that requires some finesse because I need to adapt many existing users to this new structure. #buildinpublic #indiedev #productivity
