Building an ambient soundscape app for Dungeon masters.
The twist is in the epic transitions system:
One tap and your players go from a peaceful tavern to a goblin ambush.
No audio cuts. No jarring stops. Just smooth immersion.

The unsexy side of launching: manually submitting to directories. I made a list of 136 with traffic estimates and DR so at least you know which ones matter. postyourstartup.co/directories

Who's building something they haven't told anyone about yet?
Make it official. Log it publicly.

My early access users are taken care of. Everything else is going back to the drawing board.
This is the part nobody puts in the highlight reel. The moment after the launch high where the real work begins.
Still building.

A few weeks ago I was celebrating a public launch. Today I'm closing public signups and pulling back into private development to figure this out.
It feels like going backwards. Maybe it is. But shipping something that breaks the business isn't the answer either.

Day 82 of building X Growth Engine in public.
Shipped the big update yesterday. Felt great.
Then the 24 hour API cost report came in.
$27. For one day. With a tiny user base.
That's not sustainable and I'm not going to pretend it is.

the blurt CLI is just an HTTP client. no rails dependency. no database access.
point it at localhost:3000 or your VPS. same commands, same output
your server is the source of truth. the CLI is a window into it

An AI agent that just summarizes is useless for fact finding.
I needed defensible conclusions. Evidence logs. Confidence scores.
So I had to build the methodology.

Screenshot of Fweek, todos are layed out like a calendar with a column for each day, except the weekend, which is combined into one column. Fweekaboo mascot is overlayed to the left of the image. A round green cartoon character with a top hat, cane and monocle.
🎉Just dropped the Fweek beta 🎉
Open source, local-first todo app inspired by Tweak.so. Self-hostable, works offline, no lock-in.
Early days — feedback & contributions welcome!

Today I redesigned Aïda's procedural memory. Now it works far better then before. Aïda can actually learn how to do something and then improve that procedure when necessary.
Cool to see it in action!

I didn’t pick PERN because it’s trendy. It’s my tank.
Don’t fight your tools and your market.
Postgres is rock solid. Express predictable. Node stable.
Beginners chase shiny. Veterans ship what they can debug.
Stability isn’t boring—it’s an edge.

Good onboarding isn’t about saying everything at once. Sometimes the best thing you can do is wait. ⏰
With Delay, you can space out messages, follow up at the right moment.

Screenshot from the Wins app with the achievement “Won a legal fight with the city office”
🥳 I won! After 6 months, I’ve finally won a legal dispute with a city office in my hometown in Poland. I feel like I got my life back!

From the dogfood dept: I use my own DeskNote and LifeTimer desktop apps to track tasks and time elapsed for my projects. Apparently, I have been chugging away at dailyappidea.dev for 124 days already!
It's been a learning journey. Thanks goodness I'm getting close to go live.

Building automation for Shaflex.
What I expected: simple triggers and replies.
What I got: a maze of exceptions, conditions, and workspace-level complexity.
Simplifying it. Shipping by Sunday.
What's your "this should take a day" that took a week?

I’ll never forget the grind for my first dev job.
A year of self‑teaching, projects, and interview rejections.
The ‘luck’ was preparation: a candidate no‑showed, I got a last‑minute call, beat CS grads, and landed the offer.
Relieved. Excited. Terrified.

Unpopular opinion:
Your "productive morning routine" is just procrastination with extra steps.
Most people spend 2 hours optimizing their day instead of just... starting the work.
Journaling, cold plunge, 90-minute focus blocks?
Cool. I shipped more by 9am than you will all week.

Instead of an Easter lamb, an app over the holidays. Fortunately, my component library has survived the update to InertiaJS 3.
