day 89 of building @oompf_app, the duolingo for learning how to speak confidently, whether it’s for interviews, presentations, or everyday convo APP IS FINALLY LAUNCHED I was quite nervous when I hit “Publish”. this is my first time actually shipping an app. not as polished as i wanted but i’ll keep on iterating! try it now: apps.apple.com/us/app/oompf-a… special thanks to my cofounder @mykov20 and my gf (holding the phone here) for pushing through with me 😊

day 44 of building @oompf_app, the duolingo for learning how to speak confidently, whether it’s for interviews, presentations, or everyday convo what’s stopping you from coding like this? join waitlist now👇

day 43 of building @oompf_app, the duolingo for learning how to speak confidently, whether it’s for interviews, presentations, or everyday convo it’s monday and I’m unemployed so I worked on my app for a solid 8 hours! ✅ coffee chat with a potential cofounder ✅ finalized the Daily feature ✅ more feature creep on Journey spending some more time to work on the daily lessons to make them more fun would rather polish now than launch fast and submit multiple builds

day 41 of building @oompf_app, the duolingo for learning how to speak confidently, whether it’s for interviews, presentations, or everyday convo spent 2 hours of deep work on my saturday morning to continue implementing the Daily feature, where the user records a short video on a daily topic and publishes it for everyone else to see, like a mini ted talk stage join waitlist now 👇

day 40 of building @oompf_app, the duolingo for learning how to speak confidently, whether it’s for interviews, presentations, or everyday convo I wasn’t planning to add this feature to the mvp, but here we go…scope just got increased the idea: you get a daily topic and publish a short video responding to it -- publicly. everyone can see, learn, and grow together do you think this is a good idea?

day 38 of building @oompf_app, the duolingo for learning how to speak confidently, whether it’s for interviews, presentations, or everyday convo leaving a job with nothing lined up and choosing the builder/founder path is an identity change that I’m still growing into when I picture myself 10 years from today, I know I don’t want to still be trading my time for money. I want leverage, the kind that comes from building, creating, and owning something that grows beyond the hours I put in and with AI, an entirely new tier of leverage just opened up

day 37 of building @oompf_app, the duolingo for learning how to speak confidently, whether it’s for interviews, presentations, or everyday convo been busy packing and getting ready for the move now that I’ve quit my job. but I worked on the streak screen! still far from those heavily dopamine-induced streak screen but we will get there some day 💪 any motion designer out here that can help?

day 25 of building @oompf_app, the duolingo for learning how to speak confidently, whether it's for interviews, presentations, or everyday convo got lots of work done today.

day 22 of building @oompf_app, the duolingo for learning how to speak confidently, whether it's for interviews, presentations, or everyday convo still working on onboarding. so tempting to just export a png background but i don’t think i’m supposed to do that for these assets?

day 20 of building @oompf_app, the duolingo for learning how to speak confidently, whether it's for interviews, presentations, or everyday convo downloaded the code from my @anything prototype and began working on the onboarding now that the assets are finalized! it's so hard to align everything. i wish figma mcp can export and assets and align precisely does anyone have any tips for using the figma mcp?

day 18 of building @oompf_app, the duolingo for learning how to speak confidently, whether it’s for interviews, presentations, or everyday convo back to work after the celebration yesterday 🦁 in an era where everyone can build, taste is your new moat.
