I’ve updated the mockups on the landing page for my app coffeepomodoro.app, to reflect the latest version. I hope Apple approves and updates my app as soon as possible.
#buildinpublic
I woke up this morning to a big surprise and realized there was a major bug in the lock screen timer control I’d just added, due to Android’s strict rules. I addressed the issue immediately and fixed it. The fix update is on its way.
#buildinpublic
10,000 people I'll never meet have my app on their phones right now.
3 months ago I thought maybe 10 friends would download it.
Today: 10K+ downloads, 4.8★, 89 reviews.
Still every line of code written by me, alone.
Next stop: 50K ☕🚀

#buildinpublic #productivity
For the past few days, I’ve been working on an update aimed at improving background processes on Android and allowing users to manage their Pomodoro sessions from the lock screen. It’s almost done; it’ll be ready after testing.
Note: The most requested feature in the comments 🫣
#buildinpublic
I added 350 new coffee tips to my app coffeepomodoro.app It also took me a few days to translate these accurately into 37 languages, but it was worth it
The next goal is to improve background processes
