It's generating more interest than my index cards app. I think it's something everybody understands and could use, vs. the other app, which is more specialized.

I posted my notes journal app, Minders, to Product Hunt and it seems to be doing reasonably well there. Give it an upvote if you're on that site: www.producthunt.com/posts/minders

I'm realizing that trying to build a successful business really isn't about any one thing that makes a huge splash. It's about hundreds of little things that slowly and consistently increases sales over a long period. Obvs, having something go viral would be huge, though, but you can't rely on it.

I think Product Hunt is overhyped in the indiehackers space, but it's still totally worth it to post there. I spent a day crafting marketing copy and screenshots for one of my apps and about a week later, I've seen someone blog about it and another post it to their newsletter. #buildinpublic

Minders, my note-taking and journaling app that looks like a social media feed, was updated today. This update features Markdown support and post pinning.

Yep, I think so. You end up at a farm with the crazy machines hooked up to those people. Weird mission.

I enjoy the internet but I think it is fundamentally changing our perception of reality, going from more material, reality-based experiences to one constructed by algorithms and “the crowd”.

I’m finally reading Amusing Ourselves to Death after hearing about it all the time. The first chapter is already resonating with my view of the world. We live in a world of symbols and the more we interact with machines, the more those symbols change our view of the world and of reality itself.

Proud of myself. Neighbors down the street had a little house party (left a flyer on my porch), and I went to it tonight, though I've never really met them before. Wish I had met more other neighbors, though. It was mostly friends of the hosts or friends of their kids, but still.

One crazy feature I was working on just for fun is "red string", a way to turn your index cards into a conspiracy board. :)

A great little Thanksgiving treat: I submitted my iOS app this evening for review by Apple and got it reviewed and approved right away.
Minders, a micro journaling app, is now available on iOS. Happy Thanksgiving!

It truly is dismal that "content" now is just an SEO capture tool or a means of delivering ads to captured viewers. Even non-AI generated stuff like youtube videos covering movies and TV series are just regurgitations of wikipedia articles (so not truly "original content"), but they sadly work.

Just put up a web page for this Solo Media app I keep going on about. I'm describing it as a journaling app for the extremely online.
Use the app as a personal feed of your thoughts, inspirations, images, links, and more.

It's definitely tough to walk away from your work and say "good enough". There's always more stuff you can tweak to make it better, but at some point it's just diminishing returns.

Sometimes I think software developers are way more interested in the process of software development than actually, y'know, shipping things. Ideals and best practices are good to learn about, but they should be secondary to actually building and shipping things, which is the best way to learn imho

Exciting times! My "journaling for the extremely online" app, Solo Media is getting close to its first beta.
I'm working on polishing the Mac version in the next few days so I can get some folks to beta test it. #macdev #indiedev

I tried to make it just like a social media app. You can attach multiple images or videos to a post and then click on an item in the gallery to browse through the media. Syncs via iCloud and running on iOS and macOS. Still a work in progress, but hopefully will start beta testing soon-ish.

It looks so beautiful. I love the idea of a house or castle on an island. Mont-Saint-Michel is another place I'd love to visit like that.

Oh nice! I forget where I got the image, so I didn't even know the location. Yup, it's basically a journaling app but in the style of a social media app.

I really hate the phrase "friendly reminder". It's a passive-aggressive way to bring up a personal opinion couched as fact or widely-accepted truth.

Somebody had an electronic keyboard hooked up to an old machine. I didn't get to play around with, though. I'm not sure if that's the thing you were thinking of.
