🌀 Week 1 of building Twiply in public: Here’s what I built, what almost made me give up, and what’s coming next. Let’s break it down 👇




I outsourced my wife & my biomarkers 🧬 There are ~10 important markers that are easy to track. From now on, we get a blood test every 6 months until we are both in the green zone for all key markers. We rely on the data from doctors, ChatGPT, and @bryan_johnson to decide what's good/enough. - My wife has high cholesterol despite a very healthy diet. We need to work on that. - I have a bit of cholesterol too (maybe it's a sign) and my AST levels aren't good—either because I exercise too much, didn't drink enough water, or genetics.


The Google login (using the react-native-google-signin library) doesn't seem to work with Expo Go, does anyone know the proper way to do it? I don't want to use an Android emulator.






I think I found the ultimate strat to get accepted on the test phase (Play Store). - Your testers have to be active - Through the test phase, you have to make an update of your app - Your testers have to install your update to prove they are not inactive And it should be good!








Update #7 on Twiply: I'm currently having some trouble getting the perfect prompt for my app. So I decided to spend the week learning more about Prompt Engineering. It's really interesting, I might start sharing about what I learnt from this. Very useful.

I just found a professional team that will test IlmNote in the Play Store. To be able to pass the tests phase to publish my app to production. Inshaa aLlah the tests will succeed this time. If it's not the case, this is Al-Qadr (destiny), I will try something else.

Update #6 on Twiply: Today I worked on a new feature: the Weekly Planner! AI will help you plan your tweets for the whole week. ➡️ Swipe right to accept ⬅️ Swipe left to skip The prompt to generate the tweet ideas isn’t perfect yet (working on it), but the concept is here!
