@wxwaim

A year to be accountable to myself. Experimenting, rebuilding, rediscovering. No hype. No shortcuts. Just showing up. Every day.

@PeterMmuo @joni_vrbt Interesting, what would you threads for over X and IG?

@joni_vrbt It’s actually gaining a lot of traction I’ve been somewhat active on threads for a few weeks now It’s a different world there

I have never seen anyone use Threads. Still, it’s the no. 1 app on the App Store rankings. Am I missing out on something big here?

How important is analytics to your MVP? And how do you know what funnels to monitor? Thinking a good starting point is core funnels like: - sign up completions - pages viewed - products purchased - error messages

@zsgott I’ve found the visual difference between the iOS and android versions are normally quite a bit for other frameworks. Guess this is what you have mentioned. Do you tend to use design tokens then to keep designs consistent?

@wxwaim Love Flutter when: - don’t have heavy reliance on native apis. Pub packages help, but due diligence to see if they cover your need. - have your own design language (it won’t feel “native” on iOS specifically). Vibe wise, don’t know. I’d pick it simply because I know it well.

Looking at mobile applications as well now: What’s your go to framework? - Capacitor - Flutter - React Native I’m leaning towards Flutter at the moment from some initial research.

@zsgott Interesting, guess less resources versus native out there for flutter. If you could vibe in flutter just as well though would you pick flutter?

@wxwaim Flutter if you’re gonna write it. JS if you’re gonna vibe it. In the future though, I bet native is the clear choice all around if the LLMs get good enough.

@stkuwanda Is this to grow your flutter experience/knowledge or do you find flutter the better framework?

@wxwaim i've worked with all 3 but this year i'm focusing on Flutter

As much as frontend's are visually beautiful. Backends are equally an art and can be just as beautiful for devs to use.

@Arif_AbdulAwal @dart_lang @FlutterDev Appreciate that, will join as well. Is there a resource that helps a more react js inclined dev better understand flutter and its best practices?

@wxwaim @dart_lang I have been building with Flutter for 4 years. So, if you share the problems you are facing, I will be able to guide you. @FlutterDev community is really helpful.

@Arif_AbdulAwal @dart_lang I am finding there is quite a bit of difference in structure between the 2. Any good resources/references you found to be helpful when developing with flutter that you could share?

@wxwaim I tried RN too, But it's hard for me to build with RN. @dart_lang became my mother tongue over the years

@crazibeat1 Nice, how do you decide between which to use for projects?

@wxwaim Yeah but I use react native too

@kevin_sakemaer Always been using dart or other languages as well?

@wxwaim Flutter

@mahersafadii Any experience with any of the others as well?

@wxwaim Flutter

@crazibeat1 👍🏻 Been a flutter dev for a while then?

@wxwaim Flutter

@Arif_AbdulAwal Thanks, have you had a try of the others as well?

@wxwaim Flutter

@BrinkkieRob Quite new to this, how is this different to just utilising flutter’s library? Would it be a different compiler?

@wxwaim Flutter with rust core

@EntrepGrow Was more if that’s your USP that you offer what others offer but in your free tier?

@wxwaim This is in free tier man. yes

I wasted yesterday. 😓 Didn’t build.😞 Didn’t ship.😟 Didn’t move forward.😥 Now I’m just sitting here feeling bad about it. How do you reset after an unproductive day?

@EntrepGrow But others offer this as well right or is it without these features for your free tier?

@EntrepGrow Nice, there are quite a few solutions out there for this already. What makes yours different to the competition?

@wxwaim I am building makeforms.xyz

@EntrepGrow Have some SaaS products in the works at the moment. Will share more as I go. How about you?

@EntrepGrow Early night and stay the next day strong

I'm rebuilding AlphaFold2 from scratch in pure PyTorch. No frameworks on top of PyTorch. No copy-paste from DeepMind's repo. Just nn.Linear, einsum, and the 60-page supplementary paper. The project is called minAlphaFold2, inspired by Karpathy's minGPT. The idea is simple: AlphaFold2 is one of the most important neural networks ever built, and there should be a version of it that a single person can sit down and read end-to-end in an afternoon. Where it stands today: - ~3,500 lines across 9 modules - Full forward pass works: input embedding → Evoformer → Structure Module → all-atom 3D coordinates - Every loss function from the paper (FAPE, torsion angles, pLDDT, distogram, structural violations) - Recycling, templates, extra MSA stack, ensemble averaging — all implemented - 50 tests passing - Every module maps 1-to-1 to a numbered algorithm in the AF2 supplement The Structure Module was the most satisfying part to build. Invariant Point Attention is genuinely beautiful — it does attention in 3D space using local reference frames so the whole thing is SE(3)-equivariant, and the math fits in about 150 lines of PyTorch. What's next: - Build the data pipeline (PDB structures + MSA features) - Write the training loop - Train on a small set of proteins and see what happens The repo is public. If you've ever wanted to understand how AlphaFold2 actually works at the level of individual tensor operations, this is meant for you. Repo: github.com/ChrisHayduk/mi…
