Tried Mastodon and Bluesky too, but it still feels like I’m talking to myself 😅

TL;DR
✅ Built from a base
✅ Shipped in 7 days
✅ AI visuals
✅ Minimalist scope
✅ Mindset upgrade
Not a viral app.
Just another brick in the wall.
And that’s how walls get built.

I shipped it in 7 working days (because, kids 😅).
Apple approved it on the first try.
I resisted the urge to polish forever.
It felt weird.
But also freeing.
I’m keeping this “done > perfect” mindset for what’s next.

I used AI to generate most visuals: icon, illustrations...
It saved time and helped me maintain a consistent style.

I reused the base of a previous app (an identifier).
No reinventing the wheel.
Focused only on what mattered:
- Core feature
- Onboarding
- Paywall
- Icon & App Store screenshots
That’s it. No extras.
