Freelance iOS developer by day, indie solopreneur in the early mornings.

I tried Claude Design when it was just released and wasn't impressed. Today I gave it a second shot. Wrote a decent prompt describing a mobile app for FeedbackThread Shared the link to the website and got a decent-looking app design, ready to implement Give it a try for your next UI update or

Let's be real, content creation is hard and time-consuming If that is not a cat picture, dinner, or random travel photo, most likely that is marketing Every content creator is trying to sell you something Btw, check my apps ;)

The Fable 5 model for Claude was amazing for planing and research and working on bigger tasks. Wery sad that we will not have acess to it anymore. Back to Codex for regular iOS app development tasks

Yesterday was my last day on my full-time contract AI took my iOS dev job as well. Ok, not really, the company just changed plans and the budget for the rest of the year, but I will get into statistics as one of many who loosing job this year. So, I'm a full-time indie dev now. Exiting! Check

Last week was a week of building and testing for a MotoLog app I'm pushing back on social features in the app untill will get more users, but weekly challenges are just screaming for competition Also, that could open doors for trip sharing and virtual rider clubs Perhaps I should wait for a few m

Morning school ride on Fiido M1 Pro I'm slowly converting to an EV rider I still like the sound and smell of a motorcycle engine, but I have to agree that an e-bike could be a more practical ride for city commuting.

I think I built the perfect paywall. 5 users saw it and 13 converted I will try to push it to 15 sales from 5 users, but I'm afraid I reached the limit there. It could be a glitch in the RevenueCat experiment report, but for now, I will stick with the theory that I'm a genius.

Surprisingly, I can still code without internet and AI models. It's the midsummer holiday weekend here in Latvia. I'm on the seaside with almost no internet connection, but I still spent a few hours on indie apps. Almost ready to ship the MVP for another AI identifier app. I wanted just one more
