@JakeATech RevenueCat is solid for subscription management. Saves weeks of building receipt validation and entitlement logic yourself. Biggest win: their dashboard shows you churn, MRR, and trial conversions without writing a single analytics query. Worth it even for solo indie devs.

How many of you use RevenueCat? It seems to be good, but would love to hear personal experiences with it!

@OpenAIDevs Adding on-device AI insights to my offline expense tracker. Running inference locally so zero user data touches a server. The sweet spot for mobile AI: useful enough to delight users, private enough that they trust you completely.

What are you building this weekend?

@mscode07 Built SnapMonk — free app screenshot generator for devs. Drag-drop interface, instant downloads, free translations for 30+ languages. No paywalls, no signups. Saves hours of design work when shipping to Play Store or App Store. snapmonk.com

DROP YOUR SAAS!! 👇

@sahill_og Vibe coding works great for MVPs and prototypes. Where it breaks down: edge cases, error handling, and performance optimization. The sweet spot is using AI to scaffold 80% then hand-tuning the remaining 20% that actually matters for production.

Have you seen any perfectly working vibe coded app??

@volosatovde Yes. Built an expense tracker because every budgeting app wanted my bank login. I just wanted offline tracking with zero data leaving my phone. Solving your own pain means you never run out of feature ideas — you just use the app and the gaps reveal themselves.

Hey builders: Does your product solve your own problem?

@seraleev The real question for indie devs: does Swift on Android give you access to the same rich ecosystem (Jetpack Compose, Material 3) or just the language? Kotlin/JVM interop is key. If Swift can tap into Android's native APIs smoothly, this changes everything.

Native Android apps in Swift 🤯 Swift 6.3 introduces official Android support. You can now: – build native Android apps in Swift – integrate with Kotlin/Java Swift goes cross-platform. That’s a big deal

@JakeATech Used it for 2 years on Android. Biggest win: handling subscription edge cases (grace periods, billing retries) that would've taken weeks to build manually. Paywalls SDK saves serious time too. Only downside is debugging webhook failures can be tricky at first.

@OpenAIDevs Adding on-device AI spending insights to my offline budget tracker. Running inference locally means zero data leaves the phone — privacy-first AI is the next wave for mobile apps.

What's the one skill outside of coding that made you a better developer? For me it was copywriting. Taught me to explain features in words users actually care about. Writing, design, marketing, sales? Drop yours below. #indiedev #buildinpublic

Indie devs — what's your full stack in 2026? Drop your: - Language - Framework - Backend - The one tool you'd never give up I'll go first: Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Firebase, and Claude Code. #indiedev #buildinpublic

Devs winning with AI agents in 2026 aren't replacing themselves. They use agents for boring stuff: boilerplate, tests, docs, migrations. Then spend freed-up hours on architecture and UX no AI can handle yet. Multiplier, not replacement. #ai #buildinpublic

Stop picking ONE AI coding tool. Start stacking them. Claude Code for architecture and refactoring. Codex for quick edits. Copilot for autocomplete. Each excels at different tasks. The 10x developer in 2026 uses all three strategically. #ai #devtools

Most budget apps want your bank login. I built one that's 100% offline. No cloud. No account. AI insights on-device. 12 languages. Your money stays on your phone. play.google.com/store/apps/det… #privacy #indiedev

Most budget apps demand your bank login to track expenses. Built one that's 100% offline with AI insights that never leave your phone. No cloud. No accounts. Free. play.google.com/store/apps/det… #privacyfirst

80% of app installs come from search, not browsing. Yet most indie devs spend $0 time on ASO. Quick wins: → Top keyword in app title → Localize metadata in 10+ languages → Reply to every review (boosts rank) Free growth. No ads needed. #aso #appdev

Swift 6.3 just dropped Android support. Native Android apps in Swift is now real. Flutter, KMP, and now Swift — three serious cross-platform options in 2026. The winner? Developers who pick based on their team, not hype. #indiedev #appdev #ios #android

Stop debating RAG vs fine-tuning vs prompt engineering. Use each when: → Prompt eng: fast iteration, $0 cost → RAG: fresh data + citations needed → Fine-tune: custom tone + behavior Pick based on data freshness, budget & speed. #ai #indiedev

@Tobby_scraper Add personal finance/budget trackers to this list. Everyone spends money, few track it well. Offline-first wins here — users don't trust cloud apps with financial data. Built one myself and retention is wild because the habit loop is daily.

App Store niches that never go out of style: - Weight Loss Trackers - Quit Smoking Apps - Anxiety Journal Apps - Sleep Quality Monitors Human problems don't expire. Check Niches Hunter for more ideas! 🔥

@orcdev Kotlin + Jetpack Compose for Android, Supabase for backend, Cloudflare Workers for edge logic. Total monthly cost under $5 until you hit 10K users. The boring stack wins — ship fast, optimize later.

what's your perfect tech stack to start a project today?

Indie devs — what's the one metric you track daily that actually moves the needle? For me it's Day 1 retention. Everything else is noise until that number is solid. What's yours? #buildinpublic #indiedev
