Getting some very useful play data for my game platformpixels.com 😎 If you give it a play, let me know what you think!

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 28/09/2026

Sick new command center for Platform pixels to be able to track level difficulty, player progression, and much more. I'm having so much fun over here.

Nice! What made you put it down?

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 27/09/2026

This is for platformpixels.com, the game I'm reviving after 13 years of "in progress" It built an entire auto-solver so it could play the levels to get real gameplay... without asking 🤯

Took 5+ back-and-forths for this one

Mobile and web and desktop. Dart is great because it supports native and web targets, and has hot reloading, and flutter is great for any supplementary ui and things like billing. Not sure what would be better than that.

I've been procrastenating on this game for 13 years... It's time to actually finish it 🚀🤘🏼

Send this to opus 5.5 make a dynamic 15-second motion graphics video of Yaak that shows what an incredible motion designer you are, like it's your showreel for a résumé. go all out.

This is the coolest thing ever:

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 24/09/2026

Their company probably wouldn't allow that?

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 24/09/2026

Heck ya, download survey showing AI is well in the lead!

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 24/09/2026

Mega Corp: I'd like to purchase... Me: [giddy] Mega Corp: A single license Me: Fuuuhh... Mega Corp: and please review this huge terms sheet Me: ☠️

I'll still be shipping product, but focusing on features that help collaboration and retention: onboarding, imports, sharing, and the stuff that helps Yaak spread. We'll see how it goes!

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 23/09/2026

I’m switching roles at Yaak, from product to growth. It's much more capable than the 5k DAU would suggest. Right now the top of the funnel is: - people searching for Yaak by name - word of mouth - AI-driven recommendations (yay)

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 22/09/2026

Yaak just crossed $5k MRR. Every feature is MIT licensed and the app runs fully offline. I wasn't sure it would work but here we are... yaak.app/blog/fundin...

yaak.app

Funding MIT Software with Commercial-use Binaries

Yaak earns about $5k MRR from commercial licenses for its binaries. Why I chose this model, how it's working…

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 21/09/2026

Crazy how bad AI still is at writing in a human way. Here I am still writing blog posts by hand.

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 18/09/2026

I Hope all the "ship to Maine" transcriptions in my agent chat history don't confuse it one day...

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 18/09/2026

Why has no one made this shirt yet?

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 17/09/2026

Best way to improve product docs ✨

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 17/09/2026

Still can't believe people are buying my lifetime license for 5x the annual rate! I keep raising the price but conversion hasn't really changed 🤯

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 17/09/2026

OS-specific screenshots are live. There's now shots for each combination of light/dark and mac/other

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 15/09/2026

I can't imagine working with other people anymore. I'm flying though stuff all day, at every level of company operation.

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 14/09/2026

Just added a post-download survey to see where people hear about Yaak, and surprised that 15% of all downloaders submit something 🤯 Not much data so far, so we'll see how it goes

010

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 13/09/2026

This is already one of the most useful things I've ever made 🤯

121

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 13/09/2026

Heck ya, Yaak appearing in job postings now!

040

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 12/09/2026

DR up to 54! Nothing I try really helps this anymore. Just have to wait for organic backlinks I guess...

010

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 12/09/2026

Most of Yaak's product dev is now automated via a feedback -> task -> implement -> review -> ship loop, powered by MCP. It's time to build a growth loop using the same principles. First step is monitoring the internet for signals that can turn into marketing tasks.

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 01/09/2026

August recap for Yaak 💹 MRR: $4,865 (+4.4%) 💰 Revenue: $5,586 (+14.9%) 💼 Subscribers: 432 (+0.9%) Missed the July recap, but things are moving in the right direction again. June was Yaak's first-ever monthly MRR decline, so seeing +4.4% this month feels pretty good. Slow and steady 📈

020

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 15/08/2026

That works then. I like the pr workflow even if it's just me

010

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 15/08/2026

You can't disable pull requests without disabling them for yourself right? Also PRs are great for bug fixes and small things.

100

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 15/08/2026

Basically all new-feature contributions are: - On that's a nice idea - The design and code are bad - I reimplement it from scratch Just send the feature request...

110

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 14/08/2026

Is there anything more annoying?

000

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 13/08/2026

Sick, working on parsing out base64-encoded content!! Also collapsing other large strings to keep the app responsive. (UI not final)

000

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 12/08/2026

Best decision I even made for Yaak was adding a lifetime purchase at ~4.5x the annual price. It's more expensive than any app I've ever bought, but roughly half of individuals choose it.

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 29/07/2026

Of course... right after I start a new project, I get two team customers on the one that's been stalled for growth for months.

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 17/07/2026

I told you Liquid Glass was hard to read. What does this notification even say?

010

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 15/07/2026

Heck ya. Really enjoying camping lots but sucks to not be able to check in on things.

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 14/07/2026

Spent a week automating my entire feedback->release workflow, all on MCP. Wow. Just wow.

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 05/07/2026

Just added an admin MCP server to help automate Yaak feedback -> release planning.

Greg Schier 👨‍💻 @schier.co · 05/07/2026

Shipped a new /download page for Yaak. Probably still needs work, but much better than before imo.
