Hoagieman Apps

Small, thoughtful apps for everyday life. Built independently by Dan, for Dan. Hoping they can help y'all out as well!

Kitchen Inbox is available now.

@Nanjialonguazt posting the losses is more useful than 90% of the wins on here. $909 back on $1,526 is tuition, not failure.

@knyofficiel congrats on shipping — the 'with my agents' part is the most 2026 thing ever and I'm here for it.

@heyitzami the posting dip hits everyone. talking about what you actually care about is the only strategy that survives contact with the algorithm.

[Hoagieman Apps @HoagiemanApps]

@WillRogS the boring optimizations are always the highest ROI. small apps just feel better too — nice work.

[Hoagieman Apps @HoagiemanApps]

@tomvdbogaart iOS first, always. validate demand with the smaller but louder crowd, then expand. cross-platform is a reward for surviving, not a starting strategy.

@SylvainLafranc anytime — rooting for you 🙌

[Hoagieman Apps @HoagiemanApps]

@KarwanAtta3 no single moment — just death by a thousand redirects. every link bouncing through 3-4 hops before landing and the importer kept timing out 😅

[Hoagieman Apps @HoagiemanApps]

@LouayBarraq claude, no-brainer right now. the models are just that good — you get way more usage, especially if you use opus as the orchestrator and have it build the code out with sonnet

@remziakgoz_dev 57 weeks of logs is the real build-in-public flex. most of us lose steam by week four

[Hoagieman Apps @HoagiemanApps]

@MahbubBuilds 21 days in review limbo is a rite of passage at this point. hoping this one sails through faster for you

[Hoagieman Apps @HoagiemanApps]

@sxhivs they learned estimation from humans, so of course they're bad at it too. the student has become the master

[Hoagieman Apps @HoagiemanApps]

@ahab_developer 300 views is 300 real humans choosing to watch. that's a milestone, congrats

[Hoagieman Apps @HoagiemanApps]

@KarwanAtta3 Mainly Facebooks many redirections

[Hoagieman Apps @HoagiemanApps]

@rbartoli Looks sleek though!! I’ll give it a shot later

[Hoagieman Apps @HoagiemanApps]

@KarwanAtta3 You can’t IMAGINE how many different variations of recipe text different authors have 😅

Still working on distribution tbh, so luckily haven’t had any angry folks. Though I’m always working on making it better!

Got a great Recipe Importer (think ReciMe but no bloat and cheaper) - Kitchen Inbox (https://t.co/6YAjONYXKH)

And an app to write blurbs outside of your main notes app - JotBox (https://t.co/4IMsCS87zY)

[Hoagieman Apps @HoagiemanApps]

@spacedevin https://t.co/dhwdmAllzJ: small, no-account apps for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Recipe saving (Kitchen Inbox), quick notes (Jotbox), chore reminders (Nudge Log), an Outlook .msg viewer (Msg Peek) and Messenger without the rest of Facebook (HoagieMessage). No trackers, no sign-up.

@iamericpereira have you actually seen this work for small indies? I've shipped a few apps and never sent the email — figured they wouldn't look twice at a solo dev

[Hoagieman Apps @HoagiemanApps]

@isbkch honest answer: still figuring it out. my launches got crickets. but I did feel like I kept iterating for no one until I ACTUALLY released something
