18/Solo dev 🛠️ Building in public

[HatemSon @HumamHSon]

I was broke, alone, and in Turkey.

Watched SlapMac make $20k in 10 days.

Every Windows user in the comments was begging for a version.

So I just built it.

No money.

No team.

No connections.

Just me and my laptop.

Let’s see what happens 👀

My AI "Design Doctor" is officially learning how to handle different styles. 🧪✨

Which one should I prioritize for the first wave of Animate Mascot?

🦊 Cute/Chibi Animals
🤖 Cool Mechs/Robots
👑 Detailed Humanoids
👾 Pixel Art

Drop a PNG of your mascot below and I’ll tell you which category the AI thinks it belongs in! 👇

🚀 Solo dev life in 2026:

I build entire apps alone.

One person. No team. No VC money.

From idea → design → code → launch → marketing.

It’s exhausting.

It’s overwhelming.

But damn… it’s freeing.

If you’re a solo developer grinding right now, drop what your working on

You’re not alone.

The industry: "Professional rigging costs $500 and takes a month. Pay up." 🙄

Me, a solo dev: "What if it cost $15 and took 60 seconds?" 🛠️🦾

I’m betting my entire year on the idea that small creators deserve high-end tech too. I’m not building this for corporations; I’m building it for the person with a folder full of "dead" OCs.

🏆 First 100 people get 75% OFF. No catch. Just solo dev type shit.

I spent 4 hours using AI to write a script that was supposed to save me 10 minutes of manual work.

I am now the king of efficiency. My parents must be so proud of how I spend my time. 📈🤡

[HatemSon @HumamHSon]

Me: "Hey Claude, can you fix this one-line syntax error?"

Claude: "I would be absolutely honored to assist you with this complex architectural challenge. Before we dive into the code, let’s first reflect on the history of Python, the ethical implications of semicolons, and the philosophy of clean logic. Here are 400 words of context you didn't ask for."

Me: "I just wanted a closing bracket, man." 💀

[HatemSon @HumamHSon]

Option A: Pay $500 and wait 4 weeks for a rig. 💸💀 Option B: Pay $15 and wait 60 seconds. ⚡🚀
I’m a solo dev building the "Option B" future.

The first 100 people get 75% OFF for life. We’re already filling up. Don’t be the person paying $500 next month.

[HatemSon @HumamHSon]

This animation was a static, messy PNG exactly 60 seconds ago. 🎬✨

No manual rigging. No expensive software. Just solo dev type shit.

I’m currently at 10 views. The algorithm is definitely not a fan of solo devs today, lol. But I’m not stopping until every PNG on this timeline is moving. If you’re seeing this, you’re officially an early believer. 75% OFF link is in the original post. 👇

[HatemSon @HumamHSon]

I’m trying to see if I should build this app. Reply with your mascot PNG. I will manually rig and animate the first 3 people who reply for FREE just to show you what the app will do once it's finished.

[HatemSon @HumamHSon]

Solo dev confession: I haven't finished building this yet. 🫣

I’ve been working on the core engine for Animate Mascot, but before I spend the next 3 months of my life (and my entire savings on GPUs), I need to know: Do you actually want this?

The goal: You upload a static PNG, and in 60s, it's a 4K transparent rigged animation. No $500 fees. No 4-week waits. Just solo dev type shit.

If you think this should exist, "vote" by joining the waitlist. If I get 100 people, I’m locking myself in my room until it’s finished.

The Rewards for the "Believers":

🏆 First 100: 75% OFF
🥈 Next 400: 50% OFF

If nobody signs up, I’ll just go back to playing video games and leave my OCs in their folders. lol.

My AI assistant: "I can help you build an entire digital empire, analyze global markets, and solve world hunger."

Me: "Can you just find where I forgot the closing bracket on line 452?"

AI: "I am a sophisticated neural network, not a miracle worker, Dave." 📦😢

[HatemSon @HumamHSon]

Your mascot has been sitting in "New Folder (3)" for two years. It’s bored. It’s tired. It wants to go outside and dance. 📁💃

Windows users watching SlapMac go viral 👀

We finally have our version.

[HatemSon @HumamHSon]

This was Made by Animate Mascot. 🎬✨

I didn't build this to start a faceless corporation. I built it because I was tired of my own OCs sitting in folders as "dead" PNGs while professional rigging cost $500+ and a 4-week wait.

I wanted "solo type shit"—a tool that works for me, by me. So I spent 6 months building an engine that:
1️⃣ Fixes messy designs & upscales to 4K.
2️⃣ Separates layers automatically.
3️⃣ Rigs & Animates with transparency in 60 seconds.

I’m opening the waitlist today, and since I’m a solo dev, I’m turning the launch into a race to help cover the GPU costs.

The Founder Race:

🏆 1 - 100: 75% OFF

🥈 101 - 500: 50% OFF

🥉 501+: Normal Price

I need your help to upgrade the app. I’m building this for us. What feature should I add next?

Voice-to-Vibe (Lip sync)?

2D Physics for hair/clothes?

Custom "Hype" dances?

The "Static Era" is over. Come join me in the Forge. 🔨

[HatemSon @HumamHSon]

Honestly, I didn’t build Animate Mascot to sell it. I built it because I was tired of my own OCs sitting in a folder like dead files. 📁💀

I wanted my characters to wave, breathe, and react during my streams without me spending $500 on a rig I couldn't afford. So, I spent the last 6 months in "solo dev mode" building the engine I needed.

But after showing a few friends, I realized I’m not the only one with this problem.

I need your help. I’m opening a limited waitlist today. I don’t want a million users; I want 500 "Founders" to help me break this, fix it, and tell me what features to build next.

The First Wave Competition:
🏆 1 - 100: 75% OFF Launch Discount
🥈 101 - 500: 50% OFF Launch Discount
🥉 501+: Normal Price

I’m one guy. My servers can only handle so much. If you want to help me turn this from a "solo tool" into the new standard for creators—get in the Forge.

What feature should I add next? Voice-sync? Custom dances? Let me know in the replies. 👇
