Yesterday I got my cholesterol results back. LDL: 176 (target: <100) Triglycerides: 265 (target: <150) HDL: 37 (target: >60) I'm 42. Single dad. Two daughters under 5. Doctor: "Let's start you on statins." Me: "Give me until March."

@buildwtim That’s exactly how I see it. Thanks for the positivity!

@RayRothwell lol sometimes ph just feels like a ghost town, but lowkey those few upvotes mean someone saw it... gotta keep poking around, right? keep at it mate!

Product Hunt launch didn't go as planned (2 upvotes lol).

If you don’t log it, you think you’re doing better than you are. Still early, but this might be the real problem to solve.

Built a cholesterol tracking app for myself after getting scary labs (LDL 176, triglycerides 265). Used it for 16 days straight. Big realization: The hardest part isn’t fixing your habits. It’s actually tracking them consistently.

For the past month I tracked my "social battery." Not my mood. Not productivity. Just how social interactions affected my energy. It turned out to be way more predictable than I expected. 🧵

First day on the AppStore for mysocialbattery.app and got my first sale! It’s not much, but it feels great! #buildinginpublic #iosapps

@minthu @shariar_design My thoughts exactly.

@shariar_design B is good, A looks like an unfinished work.

A or B Which one do you love 🤔

@shariar_design Right one. The “Most Popular” card is 🤌🏻

Left or Right 🤔

@mscode07 Just launched MySocialBattery today on iOS. Tracks and helps you optimize your social energy based on what energizes you or leaves you feeling drained. Would love feedback! apps.apple.com/us/app/my-soci…

@rxhit05 Depends on the use case. I can't imagine charging a subscription for a photo editing app, but if there was an AI component that would incur costs, then maybe...

If you built an app, how would you monetize it? -One-time payment -Monthly subscription -Ads

If you’ve ever said “my social battery is dead” this is the thing that actually helped me understand why. App Store link if you're curious: apps.apple.com/us/app/my-soci…

So I ended up building a little app to make this easier to track. Log an activity → rate energy before/after → see patterns over time. Basically a tracker for your “social battery.”

After tracking this for a while I realized: I kept making the same mistake — planning my schedule without thinking about energy. Just time.

One thing I didn’t expect: Scheduling quiet time before social events made a huge difference. Going into something already tired made everything feel worse.
