📦Keepiko is in AppStore!😍 Half-year side project I worked on alongside job & moving to apartment🫠
It’s home inventory app I built for my wife😇
A minimum lovable version, but all built by myself! Designed, coded, tested - even did my 1st website🔥
So please give it a try 🙏🏻 #shipaton #buildinpublic

I’ve been texting with one of our @Keepiko customers for the past 5 days - and it’s pure treasure! 💎
He’s organizing his studio & keeps sharing feedback AS HE GOES 😱
I’m so touched - knowing someone’s really using your app & cares enough to share their thoughts is the best gift to any founder ❤️

Adding more icons to Keepiko 👨🎨
This time I just slightly redesigned some of the icons provided by SF Symbols and added the missing ones. I’ll probably redraw all icons entirely (along with other assets) after I do some rebranding for the app.

What’s stopping you from coding like this? 😎
While waiting for my appointment at the hospital 🏥 I managed to integrate Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity embeds into my website code using the GitHub iOS app.
This is real building in public 😂

I got a lot of inspiration! Even found a competitor to Keepiko - which is a good sign 😄

My first website created without any builders 🥹
No webflow, framer, wix. Pure HTML/CSS. For FREE.
This feels like freedom!! 🏄♂️
👨🏻🍳 v0 + GitHub pages + airtable
It took me like an hour, but mostly because I didn’t know any of these tools 😅 next time it will be 20 min max!

P.S. I’ll drop links to my GitHub code and the source tutorial in comments.

🤖 Day 16 of launching Keepiko
Tried the same "don’t touch" prompt with Cursor + Claude 3.7 - worked well too!
Comparison: Claude offered a better design, but with bugs. Google AI Studio gave me more control over process + zero bugs.
P.S. Still restructuring the app...

🤖 Day 15 of launching Keepiko
Used Google AI Studio (Gemini 2.5 Pro) to restructure my app after user feedback.
I'm shocked, but it nailed it! Pretty sure Cursor with Claude 3.7 would've wrecked everything 😄
P.S. Secret prompt: tell AI what not to touch. Zero debug errors! 😱

Experimenting with sections and UI before fully integrating them into existing flows. I don't want to risk breaking anything before I'm sure it's the right approach to implement, especially since it should also affect SwiftData.
