I’ve been out of the project-building race for a bit, and honestly, it felt like I was losing time. But I ended up diving into hardware and built a bot for a multiplayer game just for fun - mouse/keyboard emulation + computer vision. Learned a lot from it. #buildinpublic #indiehacker #solofounder

👨💻 Indie Developer 🏄♂️ Sharing journey 📢 Building apps in public 🏗 Founder: app.shaflex.com
Happy Monday. Been quiet on social media lately, but still working behind the scenes. Got some new hardware for a project. It's fun and completely new territory for me. #buildinpublic #saas #development #software #developer #marketing #ui
Added MCP to my second project. I'm using it daily now. Having the backlog with tasks and auto-filling the changelog has been super useful. It's one of those things that seems small until you actually use it; then you realize how much time it saves. #buildinpublic #saas #development #software #ui
AI can generate a beautiful UI in seconds. Getting the details right still takes hours of iterations, references, and small adjustments. The default AI look is a starting point, not the finish line. #buildinpublic #design #indiehackers #ui #ai #saas #development
Last few days went into a new widget for the second project. Architecture and security took most of the time, had to think through how the pieces fit without introducing weak points. Meanwhile, pushed updates and fixes for Shaflex. Moving forward one step at a time. #buildinpublic #saas #develop
For new project published a few packages. Switched from Notion to a centralized system for docs, tasks, feedback, and changelog. Full GitHub integration for PRs, plus Slack, Discord, and Telegram notifications. Foundation is solid, now polishing and fixing bugs. #buildinpublic #saas #development
Today is Wednesday, and this is too scary to be true 😱 #buildinpublic #saas #development #software #developer #marketing #ui
Took a break from the screen. Watered the cucumbers and spent some time in the garden. Code can wait.
Happy Monday! Got rejection feedback on a new integration scope. Need to re-record the videos with more detail. Also started work on the public API and MCP. Kicked off a new project too: a platform for collecting feedback and converting it into tasks with a full delivery flow. #buildinpublic #ui
Office vibe. Recently I started working from the office, and it's a mixed feeling. On one hand, biking there is improving my physical condition and refreshing my brain. On the other hand, I've started taking on more client projects.
What a time to be alive. Forget Fable 5. HTTP just got a new method. More than 30 years after HTTP/1.0, we finally have QUERY. For years, we've forced complex read-only requests into awkward URLs, abused POST, or relied on GET with a body hoping every proxy behaves.
Happy Monday! ☕️ Spent the weekend optimizing backend performance. As Shaflex grows, more users and connected accounts mean way more analytics events flowing through. Made changes that should keep everything running smoothly as usage increases. #buildinpublic #saas #development #software #develop
New day, new trip to the office. Took some time to actually relax and look around on the way in. Feeling inspired and motivated.
Decided to start commuting to the office by bicycle. My knees are still processing that decision. 🚴😅
Added custom fields to integrations. You can now define custom fields and configure content settings in more detail. Two main additions: - Control who can reply to posts. - Set content type rules that follow each integration's requirements. #buildinpublic #saas #development #software #developer
Happy Monday. The weekend was hot in Europe, but I still delivered new features. Main one: grouping channels. You can now create a group and select all at once instead of clicking one by one. Small change, but it saves time every single use. #buildinpublic #saas #development #software #developer
One feature I’m using every day: a unified inbox. Replies from different platforms show up in one place, so I don’t have to jump between tabs to keep up with conversations. Simple, but surprisingly useful. #buildinpublic #saas #development #software #developer #marketing #ui
A year and a half into this project. Tons of improvements, changes, and features shipped. Some days I'm unhappy with the results. Some days I question the work itself. User growth isn't where I want it to be, and that weighs on me. But I don't regret starting it. Not once. #buildinpublic #saas
Spent today on the image editor. Improved it with new functions and patterns. Lots of small improvements across the board. I love working on visualization tasks. The results are visible immediately, which makes the work feel faster and more satisfying. #buildinpublic #saas #development #software
Monday update. Over the weekend, I finished a few more integrations that should make the service stronger and open up more ways to share content. I also improved the image editor with new mockups, which should make the creation flow more useful and flexible. #buildinpublic #saas #development #ui
Added a new automation feature: auto-reply by trigger word. Set a keyword, and the system sends the reply automatically when it detects that word in replies. Saves time on repetitive responses. Type 'course' and I'll send you a link 😅 #buildinpublic #saas #development #software #ui #marketing
Finally sent the next batch of permissions for the new features for review. #buildinpublic #saas #development #software #developer #marketing #ui
I've spent more time fixing than shipping. Testing features, cleaning up UI and API issues, handling edge cases that only show up in real use. Tech debt is a constant battle. Every task I finish reveals two more. Plus UX and feature design work nobody sees but still takes time. #buildinpublic
Monday already. The weekend wasn't really a weekend. Spent it reworking the automation architecture, making UI improvements, and working through user reports. Plus the usual back-and-forth with emails and messages. Properly full couple of days. #buildinpublic #saas #development #software #develop
A couple days ago I got a bug report from a user. Sounds small, but it hit different. It's proof someone's actually using what I built. Shows I'm on the right path, even when progress feels slow. Bug reports mean people care enough to tell you what's broken. #buildinpublic #software #developer
I made a mistake in the architecture for one service. Now it takes more time to fix it than if I'd done more detailed planning before implementation. But it's a great lesson: planning > development. #buildinpublic #saas #development #software #developer #marketing #ui
Happy Monday, everyone. I've been immersed in notes and studying for a few days now. I love using pen and paper for my notes, more than any virtual device. There's something about writing things down by hand that makes them stick better. #buildinpublic #saas #development #software #developer #ui
I'm experimenting with mobile app development-trying to figure out how to build apps that don't turn into a mess six months in. What keeps an app workable as it scales? And with AI everywhere, is this still worth learning? #buildinpublic #saas #development #software #developer #ui #marketing
Today's fixes: - Made a lot of fixes for the AI service. - Improved output structure. - Some small fixes for the app UI. #buildinpublic #saas #development #software #developer #marketing #ui
Happy Monday. Fixed a lot of small bugs with UI for mobile screen resolutions, fixed issues with analytics, and added a new UI for a new integrations. p.s: I met him today while riding my bike. #buildinpublic #saas #development #software #developer #marketing #ui
