Day 9 of building in public. Yesterday I said this could be the best focus app on the App Store. Today… I’m not so sure. I realized something that might break it 👇 Most focus apps don’t actually train focus. They just track time ⏱️ If I don’t fix this, Focus Flo is just another timer. If you’ve ever quit a focus app… why? #BuildInPublic

@CarlosBBuild I can only imagine rolling up to Starbucks like this, lol.

@sflorimm @yahyavision

Share your designs. No words. Just your design.

@arthuryuzbashew @mediafa_st Loved that movie!

I love being a founder at 21 y/o! > went to cinema 🎬 > made 2 sales on @mediafa_st 💰 > had coffee and a pizza 🍕 Came back home to do some marketing + customer support 🔥

Do you use cold DM's to try and get users?

@Startupat60 I'll often find myself cleaning just to avoid doing the work I need. At least the result is a clean home, lol.

A lot of productivity is just avoiding the one thing that would actually move things forward.

@Spotify "Joker and the Thief" is the official space launch anthem.

you get to pick one song for your journey to space. what is it? 🚀

@jakobjelling Quite possible…

@wpursell_dev So … launching tomorrow 🙂

It's Monday. Time to promote your product. What are you working on?

@cureteurazvan Great job man! Showing up is the easiest and hardest thing to do.

Today was a productive day. Started working out again after 1 month of pause. Showed up at the 9 - 5. Did some solid work for ShipToPost. Gained some followers also. The most important thing is that I showed up again. That's how you grow, by showing up.

@bigboybuilder Just using the app! The app is launchable as is, but it wouldn’t be solving the core issue.

how did you realize that?

Good question. It's for people who have a ton of things to do or work on, but find themselves doing a little bit of a lot. I would work for long periods of time and feel like I got no progress, so I built this app to help train me to stay on one task at a time. It's worth being more clear on the landing page though, thanks!

@wpursell_dev I'm confused who your building Focus Flo for? You mention scattered minds on your landing page but I imagine there's many types of scattered minds?

Here's how I'm making my focus app better today: ✅ not locking users into focus "reps" ✅ making the AI coach more subtle than bold ✅ making focus sessions optional for quick tasks What makes this app different than others? You learn to focus, not just block distractions.

@seraleev Could only imagine the MRR they’re pulling off that one!

An app I use every day

@bigboybuilder Underrated means people are over looking its potential! I think more people should be doing it. 100% agree it’s highly rated!

Why do you say it's underrated? I think it's pretty highly rated

#BuildInPublic is so underrated. The feedback I’ve gotten from X alone has made building 10x easier 🔥

@0ii05i For sure! What are you working on?

@wpursell_dev Great vision lets collaborate 🚀

It’s 3am. Not scrolling. Not partying. Just laying here thinking about my app. If you’re building something, you know this feeling.

@DosukaSOL I might building my own personal analytics cockpit. I’ve got a ton of different ideas and projects running, so maybe I can put all the useful info into one dashboard. Super cool project!

@beyoumf @twentyonepilots easy choice

If someone offered you a million dollars to listen to just one artist for 48 hours straight, who would you choose ??

@rajanbuilds Both during a good run or laying in bed thinking at 3am, I’ve had some of the best ideas come to mind, lol.

@wpursell_dev the irony is, those quiet hours are when the app feels most real

@offpaths Still waiting on @trynrative to make my videos the best on X 😂

@wpursell_dev we will get along nicely then 😁
