iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Ruling out server side signatures was one of my first decisions. I didn’t want to build another tool that intercepted and read people’s mail. So it’s all client side 💻

Every Exclaimer renewal I thought "I could build this". So, I did, and it got out of hand. It's now Sigil. Best bit: it checks each signature actually applied and rolls a bad change back itself. blog.tophhie.cloud/posts/why-i-buil… #buildinpublic #m365

Why I built Sigil, and why it checks its own work

Email signatures tend to be the bit of Microsoft 365 nobody checks

Shipped voice notes in Marvelist this week, record on iPhone, iPad, Watch, even the web 🎙️ Runs on the same sync layer that keeps everything else together. Small feature, surprisingly fiddly to get right across five platforms. #buildinpublic #iosdev #productivity 🔗 apps.apple.com/app/apple-st...

Marvelist Vault goes into General Availability today 🌟 Lists can now get an extra layer of encryption with server-held keys — not E2EE, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise in the marketing. The win is real (no readable data in a backup/export, nothing handed to the AI). #indiedev #indieapp

Not Claude encouraging me to deploy updated server code directly to production, assuring me it’s low risk. I tell him it’s a bad idea and we should always deploy to dev/ first to test it and he’s “You’re completely right!” Gotta love his confidence and enthusiasm though :/

A database change, and an API change caused user registration issues. Resolved ✅

Chris Greenacre 🏳️‍🌈 @tophhie.cloud · 23/06/2026

Watched @marvelist.co.uk break registration twice this week, because I deleted a database account that was being used as a trigger DEFINER. Entirely my fault. Always test. Annoyingly, both times I only found out because installs didn't convert to new users. 😣 #buildinpublic #indieapp #swiftdev

UI refinement is a funny one. I started it with a vision of how I wanted it to look, behave, etc. but it’s not until other people start using it and giving you feedback that you realise it’s not as intuitive as it could be.

Chris Greenacre 🏳️‍🌈 @tophhie.cloud · 22/06/2026

Couple of things really over the course of a couple of years… similar story, a stranger using the app for the first time and logging a support request with a bug, but also I spent a lot of time refining and rebuilding it recently and I realised I was very invested and wanted to push it further

I picked "a to-do app" to learn Swift because every tutorial on Earth uses one. Then I just… kept going. Four years later I'm finally calling Marvelist a real product instead of "my side project." #indiedev #indieapp #productivity
