Ryu / Chia-Lung Chen 🔥

I just discovered one of our valued paid users silently upgraded after hitting their plan's quota and this made me join the $100 MRR club 🥳 This fuels my courage and drives me to keep enhancing @copicakeapp for these remarkable users. #buildinpublic

I was using @copicakeapp and trying to make some automations for my personal use, and noticed that without the grid system, it's quite inconvenient in some cases. Eating your own dog food to enhance the product slowly! #buildinpublic

@rkotzy @RevenueCat Thanks for the info @rkotzy ! Not sure whether I need to contact with the customer support for this or not, but at least right now the overall MTR is still below the 2500 limit, so I guessed it should be fine?

@ryuu_dev @RevenueCat Yes, promo codes look identical to production transactions. Try the newer Offer Codes instead: developer.apple.com/help/app-store…

Based on the dashboard from @RevenueCat , it seems that the promo codes from App Store are tracked as part of MTR, but promo codes from Play Store are not part of it. (For lifetime one time product) Has anyone witnessed the issue?

@y_nk @fightieapp You don’t need the main app to start exercise, each one works 😬

@ryuu_dev @fightieapp but it's not the main app, is it? it doesn't look like the video in the website

Finally, Fightie WOD is live on 3 platforms :) 🍎 iOS apps.apple.com/us/app/fightie… 🤖 Android play.google.com/store/apps/det… 🌐 Web wod.fightie.com Browse daily WODs, scale your workouts, and keep everything in your pocket. Start training smarter today. 🔥

@y_nk @fightieapp Now you have no excuse to do exercises 😁😁

@fightieapp don't lie, I'm your first android user

After 1.5 months of hard work, I finally released Fightie WOD officially to three different platforms :D I also wanted to share a quick reflection on building this. I used React Native + Expo, and honestly, the ecosystem has come a long way! (It was chaos when I tried it 10 years ago) If you're also thinking about cross-platform apps, I'd definitely encourage you to give it a try. #buildinpublic

My AI designer works way better than I thought. The previous version of @copicakeapp was a sh*t I would say, after comparing it with the new design now 😅 Everything looks way more promising now, better UI, better UX, and everything lol 👈 Before 👉 After #buildinpublic

You need 14 testers to actively test your Android app for 2 weeks, meaning they have to interact with the app daily (not just install it and do nothing). And all of this is only to get into the production review process. The app still isn't production-ready and could even get rejected. What a painful process for deploying your app on Google Play for the first time! 😩 #buildinpublic

@y_nk yes

@ryuu_dev "through Paddle"?

Revamped the settings page! Now subscription details are displayed correctly, and the new design looks way better. Next up: integrating IAP on the app side, so the entire system works together seamlessly with support for both Paddle and App Store billing 😄 #buildinpublic

It's been a month, and finally, I have collected more than 1000+ training menus for @fightieapp to use. I also set up an automation workflow to automatically upload a new menu to its Instagram account to boost traffic. Everything is working like a charm :) #buildinpublic

As someone who has spent years working as an engineer, it’s been challenging to shift into a business mindset. No matter what, I have finally sent out my first cold email to potential sponsors to explore collaboration opportunities, and I hope to share good results soon!

@y_nk we'll see 😎

@ryuu_dev ai analysis BUT NO ANDROID APP WHERE AM I LOG MY TRAININGS

It's quite fun to utilize AI to analyze each workout and find out commonly used movements. The result is - 88 movements are picked from 900+ records, not bad :) The progress to polish your own dog food really feels good 💫 #buildinpublic

It seems that my strategy to build iOS/Android apps for @fightieapp WOD is slowly improving the website ranking! I think a backlink from a major domain is much more valuable than several from smaller ones. Will share more analytics data later if anyone is interested. #buildinpublic - Note: Domain Rating (DR) shows the strength of a domain’s backlink profile compared to the others in our database on a 100-point scale

I finally shipped the custom n8n node for @copicakeapp 🥹 Now Copicake works with both @make_hq and @n8n_io for automation! Just keep shaping the product step by step :) #buildinpublic

@jasonleowsg Ramen profitable -> Takoyaki profitable 😂

Love these neighborhood takoyaki stands in Japan. Rare to see, delightful to buy from. Selling something small. Making a comfortable living. Local. Familiar. Friendly. I like it. Want to be like this. Then I realize I already do, but online.

@MartinBaunIT Finally someone said it out loud!!

@y_nk Hahaha sounds like another scary story 😆

@ryuu_dev hahahahaha too detailed not to be real. i'm tired of being the one trying to straighten the platform while everybody around me just sends "i vibe coded this" once in a while. I'm boiling to end it like "could you also pick those 2yo backlog tasks nobody has time to do?"

there are 2 types of cto. those who take a ticket of bug/debt once in a while to help the team, and those who continuously post ai stuff on slack to impress the company.

@y_nk Ugh typo - that are “not” allowed to be tracked 🫠

@y_nk The worst part is that the VP took the role and keep spamming everyone with tons of AI buzzwords and asked people in DM to do things that are allowed to be tracked by your EM or PM, so you even need to work on holidays and no one knows about it and he keeps pushing
