Built an app that helps my niece stay focused and turn her phone into a study/work companion.

It’s not just a timer — it’s like having a little companion that guides you through your study/work session with AI, motivation, and distraction blocking.

My app (focusminny.app) received its first donation ($1.99) 🎉 It’s a small step, but it means the world to know someone believes in what I’m building - something I started for my niece, now used by hundreds of users. #buildinpublic

apple rejected my focusminny app update because i forgot i had expo-audio installed without using it. 😅 uninstalled and resubmitted, but reviews now take 4–7 days (holiday delays 🎄).

meanwhile, android approved it in minutes! 🎉

how’s life? 😅

Hey folks, if you’re writing TypeScript, you absolutely must install the ‘Pretty Typescript Errors’ extension for Visual Studio Code. It’s a game-changer!
We've passed 1,000,000 downloads recently 😀

That's what I'm trying to solve with
Indiemakers.social

Social media always end up like this ...

A lot of followers but engagement is tanking 📉

When people are only motivated by growing their following instead of building connection

They miss the social/community part in social media

I've noticed a lot of people using big company names in their domain names.

Be careful with this!

These big companies don’t want people thinking your startup is part of their business

And this could lead to a lawsuit real quick.

One of my PRs towards react-native-macos support in Expo just landed 🤩

This will allow the creation of create-expo and prebuild templates that include react-native-macos.

If I do another PR like this for react-native-windows, it’ll be the best way to init a mobile + desktop React Native project.
