Guys I just spent 2 weeks waiting for the App Store reviewers to review my app after resubmitting after the first rejection, only to find out that I hadn't signed the new developer licensing agreement that came out in the interim. I signed it, and they approved it within 12 hours. Don't be silly like me lol.

@megcorren Just checked out the update, logging is much clearer now and I love the widget!

shipped a new LadyData update on cycle day 5 🩸 • period logging has its own dedicated flow • you can add a cycle day widget to your home screen I tested the period logging feature… on my period. this is what building women's health tech looks like & I wouldn't have it any other way

@NirBenita Thank you for taking the time to detail this out! This is my first time seeing Motion, I'm going to take some time looking through those examples.

Thanks! This one was a bit untypical - I start out with Claude Code and Obsidian to build the spec specifically for the loader (the loader is a small part of a larger opportunity I’m workin on). I then took the spec with a screenshot of the existing screen where it would be implemented for context. I used Claude (Mac app) to generate the first take, it’s easy to experiment with since it’s have a built in sandbox I then shifted to have it implemented with some tweaks using Framer Motion in Claude Code (which regular Claude’s sandbox could not handle). I even have a small playground to play around with some of the values. I uploaded it as a gist to GitHub, and attached it to a ticket in Linear for the dev

Creating animated loaders is the type of stuff I would NEVER do, because I couldn't justify the ROI... It's delightful AF, but too time consuming. Today, it's 10 minute of work and the output can be shipped 🤯

Claude code is suddenly so dumb today? Like working on a creating a plan for a task and then just... outputting nothing. Or completely hallucinating things and then coming clean about making it all up. Is anybody else experiencing this?

@LunaBitar 2. Get my husband to download the app. 3. He finds 20 bugs while trying to break my app. 4. The nerve, lol

How I test every app before launch: 1. Ship to TestFlight 2. Get my mom to download the app 3. Facetime her and watch where she gets stuck 4. Fix the friction If she asks “what do I do here?” → that’s a bug

@1337hero @jessegenet @openclaw Brilliant, I’m going to try that

@SMagdits @jessegenet @openclaw Not a pain, using tailscale but also slightly involved. I'd just have Claude set it up now.

Built a thing I’ve wanted forever… a way to let my kids access YouTube content I like without getting exposed to the algo and becoming zombies 😵 My @openclaw friends are the dev team this is barefoot housewife has always dreamed of 🙏😂❤️ YouTube stream curated by us, no slop

@1337hero @jessegenet @openclaw I want to do this, was it a pain to get it set up to be accessible outside your home network?

@SMagdits @jessegenet @openclaw This is what we did - and best part, we can take it on the road.

We let our son play Kirby on one of these and even that is too much for him to handle. Although it was good for teaching him to handle frustration, and he eventually beat Kirby. But he would just lose it every time we went to turn it off. NES lives in the closet for now. We'll try this and our old N64 system when he's older and I look forward to that. I also saved all my Game Boy games for him.

I’m trying to get my husband to understand how addicting video games are for our ADHD 5yo. It’s been horrendous since we’ve let her play. I want to ban them from the house bc even occasional play has her brain completely re-wired where she doesn’t want to do ANYTHING else

@AnnikaSays Ooh using slack is a brilliant idea!

A month ago, I started using Claude Code 👩‍💻 Ten days ago, I added OpenClaw 🦞 Since then, I've shipped vibecoded apps, built a research pipeline, run countless overnight tasks — and burned through an ungodly amount of API credits Zooming out, three big learnings:

If Claude Code or Codex just one-shotted an app for you, Read this. Now you gotta go through every screen and find the 47 edge cases that break it. Users will do things you never imagined. Then comes auth, database setup, API rate limits, error handling for when the server goes down at 2am. You need analytics to figure out what users actually do vs what you think they do. App Store optimization, screenshots, descriptions, review responses. Privacy policies, terms of service, data compliance. Push notifications that actually work without being annoying. Performance optimization because that smooth demo gets real laggy with real data. State management across the whole app. Caching strategy. Offline support. Responsive design across 15 different screen sizes. Testing on older devices that somehow still exist. CI/CD pipeline so deploys don't eat your weekends. Then users start requesting features you never planned for and suddenly your clean architecture needs a rewrite. The first version is maybe 10% of the actual work. Building is easy. Shipping and maintaining is where it gets real.

@kieralwellness Endometrial biopsy without pain relief is one of the more barbaric ones…

I’m autistic in the way I devote myself to learning everything I possibly can about women’s health because it is a service that is so needed. The stories I hear & the way in which women are treated within this system is absolutely shocking. Uterus isn’t working? Let’s just remove it. It’s so over for big hysterectomy.

@megkatcorren How was the learning curve for this?

I went DEEP on meta ads yesterday and even pushed my first ad this morning. Budget: $30 total Results: stay tuned Claude helped me through all of it!

@Rasmic Is fast just the same thing but faster? Like I’m ok with waiting in between prompts, it’s fine.

Bro i have Opus 4.6 fast running Why does it say -2,000 USD WHAT IS THIS???

@gregisenberg Does anybody know any Claude skills for this? Not sure if going full openclaw is the move for me yet.

you’re vibe coding when you should be vibe marketing (with claude code, openclaw etc) 1. opus 4.6 / codex 5.3 → ship the product (core features, backend, auth, infra ) 2. claude code → design the playbook (content formats, hook templates, lead magnets, reply rules, tone of voice, weekly experiments) 3. openclaw → run the playbook 24/7 (ads, post drafts, build free tools, repurpose content, create campaigns, reply to comments + dms, send follow-ups, queue experiments) 4. dashboards → decide what to double down on (saves, shares, replies, clicks, signups) most founders stop at step 1. "wHy tHis DiDn'T woRk" the money/opportunity is steps 2–5. media is the most mispriced asset right now. it isn't code, you know this relax on the vibe coding for 1 sec vibe marketing is your friend it answers the real question nobody wants to ask: “does anyone notice, remember, or care?”

@jessegenet @openclaw This is an amazing niche, I'd love to see how you use it. I'm a homeschooling mom and the thought hadn't even crossed my mind.

Pulse check. How much effort should I put into sharing how I’m using @openclaw to homeschool my kids? Is this content anyone wants!?

@seraleev I purchased the dev account through the Apple Developer mobile app and there was no success confirmation message so I thought it failed. Went and enrolled again through the website with success. They charged me 2x, I had to dispute it which wasn't easy to find the link for.

When I opened my account, I ran into a similar issue. During a phone call, a support agent explained that it’s better to purchase the developer account through the Apple Developer mobile app. In this case, you get a standard subscription that works 100% reliably. When you purchase through the Apple website, Apple uses the iTunes payment system, which can sometimes fail. I had to call support several times, and the second time I even had to contact iTunes support so they could locate my payment. As a result, opening the account can be delayed for several months. Use the Apple Developer mobile app.

@samuel_yostt @averycode @eliana_jordan THANK YOU!

@SMagdits @averycode @eliana_jordan I confirm it. Have released 2 apps with a company account and had not testers at all except myself

android dev, help. how do you get 12 testers for your app? I got 2 so far
