Google Play won't let me launch RoundForge (my free, combat-sports interval timer) until 12 testers run the beta for 14 days. I have 4. If you have an Android: send me your Google email, I'll add you + send an opt-in link. Install, keep it 2 weeks, done 🥊 Reposts help!
✂️ Knip v6.29.0 is out Oh too many goodies to count: github.com/webpro-nl/kn... ⚡ And just in case you might be thinking Knip's performance has to suffer from all those plugins, compilers, features & backwards compat... it's not!

Stop hunting for app ideas. Start from friction. The best first tool (or agent skill) to build isn't something you invent. It's a problem you already have, done manually, repeatedly (and wish you didn't).
