Ionut Drutu

Hi, my name is Ionut! I'm a software developer, and lately I’ve become hooked on indie hacking and building online startups. I’m here to figure things out and to document my journey - what I try, what works, and what doesn’t. #buildinpublic

@blackevilgoblin Congrats G! ❤️

My 3rd son is born an hour ago 😍 mother is doing really good!

@levelsio 😁

Chaos @ q3.pieter.com now :D

@levelsio Had a good time, got 2nd or 3rd place once :D

Claude is down Come shoot with us 💥 q3.pieter.com

I think it's time to announce my new project. I've been cooking studyrpg.ai for the past weeks. It's a learning tool that turns any pdf or epub into an RPG game with multiple maps and characters to beat. Was inspired by @lennysan's game. Will start updating on the progress. Happy to hear feedback!

@buildtheweb1 Did you like your own post? That gets your post removed some times.

Can I please get a valid reason why??? BIP???

@buildtheweb1 Coding from your phone 😁

I'm outside, taking a walk around the neighborhood, but I'm putting Claude to work via Telegram channel. This is kind of nice, tbh.

@buildtheweb1 Why not leave it there? Did you have any costs keeping it up?

I decided to take down one iOS app I had on the store today. My first ever iOS app 🥹. I did it because it had no real use and would benefit nobody. I don’t want to build and ship apps just for a big portfolio; I genuinely want people to use them and benefit from them.

@buildtheweb1 Telegram is already very popular. Why do you hope this?

I really hope people would start using Telegram more than WhatsApp

Would have been good to have a waitlist and publish it on @IndieWait , but at this point, it would just take time from launching the MVP. Maybe you can add that part to your app too. To let users easily setup a waitlist page for their app - without having them build it in their own site. If you had this, I would do it.

@ionutlogs Keep cookin. Any teasers about the industry?

AI domains are expensive.... I just bought one for the next 2 years. Cooking a new project. Will be launching soon!

@JanarJurisson The stove is on! Industry: learning/gaming. I'll be launching the MVP very soon!

@buildtheweb1 Doesn't F5bot do the same?

I've started scraping Reddit today for relevant posts where I can comment with my own solution, aka my-apps. I'm going gently since I don’t want to get banned.

@lennysan 🤘Love the game!

@ionutlogs Hell yeah!

Placed 6 in the leaderboard in @lennysan's game! The game is fun and great for testing your product and startup knowledge.

@lennysan You can find it here: lennyrpg.fun

@zawasp This is amazing! 💪

I just released blahphone.com A cheap and fast way to call & text internationally (over 140 destinations) - directly from your browser! You can also get a local phone number from 60+ countries - to call, send & receive texts. Go roast it!

Yesterday's 1st place goes to @pankajjasoria: His Bank Statement Coverter AI app won product of the day on bro directory!

@zawasp VoiP calls :)

I'm cooking again 👀. Any idea what this is? Wrong answers only.

Here's a million dollar idea: Turn running into a game! Have a wearable that determines your speed. Add one enemy chasing you at a constant speed. Based on how fast you run and if you slow down, the enemy might come close and even catch you if you don't slow down too much. Increase music sound and do sound alerts when he is close. youtube.com/shorts/O60xU-P…

Yesterday 12 apps were launched on BRO directory! And these are the winners:
