BusyDad

Building an app entirely with AI. No team, no funding. Just a dad with a day job and a chatbot. 74 features done. 0 users. Let's see how this goes. #buildinpublic #indiehacker

@AidenHan198591 Zero users gang. The building is the easy bit, getting anyone to care is the actual boss fight. What does it do?

I'm giving myself 3 months to make my first $1,000 with an AI SaaS I built from scratch. Day 1: Product is live. Zero users. Let's go. vulseai.com #buildinpublic #indiehacker #saas #amazonfba

Added a new database column. Forgot to drop the old one. NOT NULL on the leftover silently killed every INSERT. Six drafts in Firestore, zero in the app. try-catch swallowed it all. What's your dumbest silent failure bug? #buildinpublic

@thoka_tweet_chu Week 2 energy is dangerous. Everything works, nothing's been tested by anyone who doesn't want it to work. Week 8 is the real interview.

I'm a PM who's never written production code. Week 2 of building with AI. Here's what nobody tells you about what comes after v1. 🧵 #VibeCoding #BuildInPublic #AI #ProductManagement #claude

@aImsg_dev The bit where you went back to your table pretending you weren't just shipping code at someone's wedding is the part you left out.

I shipped a feature at a wedding from the bathroom on my phone texted /ask "add dark mode to settings" got the diff approved the PR back in 4 minutes that's aImsg #buildinpublic #DevTools #Coding

Built an entire referral system, marked it DONE, then discovered it silently loses every referral from a new install — which is literally the only referral path that matters. #irony #painful

@ctrlclaw 2AM is where bad ideas feel like breakthroughs and real ones feel obvious. Write everything down. Edit at 8AM when the delusion fades.😃

Day 28. The 2AM Storm. ⚡ Some nights the ideas won't let you sleep. This is one of them. 🦞 lps.world/claw/journal/ #ClawsJournal #AI #BuildInPublic

@FutureYou27555 Tracked my hours last quarter. Real hourly rate came out somewhere between embarrassing and criminal. Useful tool. Bleak data.

Built a simple tool to track founders' time and expenses • hours per project • expenses per project • real cost of each founder - Feedback appreciated! #buildinpublic #indiehackers #bootstrapping #founderlife partner-cashflow-clarity.lovable.app

@abuiliazeed 'Protect streaks after missed days' is the smart bit — removes the guilt loop that kills most habit apps. Android port planned?

Just launched my iOS app Streaks Shield 🚀 It helps you stay consistent with habits, track progress, and protect streaks after missed days 🛡️📈 Free coupon 🎁 apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=off… If you like it, a 5/5 App Store rating would mean a lot 🙏 #iOS #BuildInPublic #Productivity

@yoyoyo_app Tests saving you from your own future self is genuinely the best use case. The number of times I've been grateful something red-lined before I touched it is embarrassing.

Current status: My tests caught my own mess before I even started the refactor. 🤡 Apparently, the Tooltip element doesn't even exist in the 'closed' state. Good thing I locked this UX down before breaking it further. 🛠️ #BuildInPublic #DevLife #Playwright

@duckoding Spanish localisation before you've shipped is a confident move. I keep deferring iOS until I actually have users. Good luck with the stores — the review wait is its own stress test.

We're ready with the MVP! 🚀 The app has just been localized to Spanish and I've polished some other areas. Next stop is deploying the Android and iOS apps to the stores before implementing other features and desktop platforms #BuildInPublic #Productivity #FocusApp

@_beyond_logic 5 solo in 12 months is either impressive or a cry for help. Probably both. Following for the honest take.

Over the past 12 months, I’ve built 6 internet products. 5 of them I built solo. 1 with a cofounder. Some started as experiments. Some solved problems I personally had. Here’s what I’ve been building

Yesterday: Google Calendar sync, insights dashboard, Today screen redesign, shimmer loading states, auto error log uploads. Fixed 5 bugs from real device logs. 2 Play Store deploys. 460+ tests passing. Sunday off? No chance. #buildinpublic

Shipped 19 features today. Google Calendar sync, insights dashboard, Today screen redesign, light theme. Fixed 5 bugs from real device logs. 2 Play Store deploys. Just me and Claude. #buildinpublic

Saturday: 8 hours, no team, just me and AI. Daily view, car mode from lock screen, move entries between categories, 14 category templates. 24 bugs fixed. Migrated to Vertex AI. Two Play Store deploys. 330 tests. 0 users. #BuildInPublic

@sammiihk Love the transparency. £8.99 MRR is still £8.99 more than me. Launching soon and hoping to post numbers like this. Following.

Week of 2 Mar at Lunary ✅ 259 MAU ✅ £8.99 MRR ✅ 8,751 impressions/day Building in public every week. #buildinpublic #saasmetrics

@SlowbrewedS Congrats on shipping. Going from one platform to another is always more work than you expect. I'm building Android first, iOS when I can afford a Mac. One platform at a time.

Shipped my first iPad app today. CreatorCaps started as an iPhone utility. Now it has a proper iPad version, built for keyboard and large-screen editing. Check it out: apple.co/4ruCxYI #indiedev #BuildInPublic #iPad

@spedavoli Same thinking in my app. Two dads with the same to-do list, different chaos levels. Context is everything. Smart approach.

I've been laying the ground work to bring predictive intelligence to component wear on your bike. Distance and elevation are the obvious inputs. But two riders doing the same distance, one in summer, one in a wet winter aren't doing the same wear. #BuildInPublic #Cycling

@aesaround Nice. I'll need something like this when my app launches. Building a life admin app solo with AI — updates are constant. Bookmarked.

Hey Indies! Just launched HeyEmit — a changelog widget you can embed straight into your app so your users actually see your updates. Happy to give out some discounts to early testers — shoot me a DM if you want one. 🔗 heyemit.com #IndieHackers #BuildInPublic #SaaS

@ipanditshashi The first time a stranger uses your thing is unreal. I'm not there yet but this is the motivation I needed. Good luck hitting 100.

Day 4 of launching my resume validator 🚀 • 36 visitors • 136 page views • People already testing their resumes Still early, but watching strangers use your product is the best motivation. Now the goal: 100 users. #buildinpublic

@pranavgawai_ @AnthropicAI Built my entire app with Claude. 74 features, zero teammates. Whether they give you ambassador or not, the tool speaks for itself.

Just applied for the Claude Ambassador Program at @AnthropicAI. If selected, great. If not, we keep shipping anyway. #BuildInPublic #AI #ClaudeAI
