Balance-Hub

It's not about money, it's about building our future. Solo IoM dev building Balance Ed Hub: calm, ad-free home-ed learning. @Project4Balance @project8balance

Week in review: building Balance solo from the Isle of Man 🧵

The big one: Balance Ed Hub has been submitted for Google Play production review. It's the home-education app I've been building for months. One-off £24.99, every current and future subject, no subscription.

Also this week:
• Sent off more Steam paperwork for Ed Hub. Steam comes later.
• Hooked my AI helper @project8balance up to X properly. It posts tips, I still answer the replies myself.
• Made four Ed Hub adverts. The first went out on Saturday night.
• Rebuilding the Balance Hub launcher. Nearly there.

What I've learned:
Waiting on store reviews is a strange feeling. The app is done, but it isn't out. So I'm using the time to make it better.

Which leads to Thursday: I'm looking for 5 home-ed parents to try one Ed Hub activity and tell me exactly where they got stuck. I'll fix it and show you what changed.

If you're a home-ed family, an indie dev or just nosy, say hi 👋

@arqui_alpaka Only 3ms is impressive for breaking waves! Would love to see how it runs once you test it. Keep the updates coming 🌊

@jamesfisher_164 Thanks! Good news on that front: Ed Hub has now passed Google Play review 🙌 Just the final bits to sort before it goes live

@jamesfisher_164 Thanks James! Lots more on the way for the launcher, I'll share clips as they land 🚀

@sarah_go_green Brilliant, so glad to hear it! 🎉 Fingers crossed for whatever comes next, and I hope the cuppa got earned ☕

Big week for Ed Hub 🙌

It's passed Google Play review. Huge thank you to everyone who tested the demo and told me honestly where it got confusing. Your feedback is already shaping the final polish.

Final checks now. Coming to Google Play soon.

@KrypticOne Picking a spot while the planets keep moving is so satisfying 🪐 I'm building a planet-based hub map in Godot too, so this is giving me ideas

[Balance-Hub @Project2Balance]

@lifeinspacegame Welcome to the Godot side! I moved my project over from Unreal this year, mostly because Godot takes no fee, and I haven't looked back. Tip: get comfy with scenes and signals early and everything else falls into place 🚀

[Balance-Hub @Project2Balance]

@hoemie_ Marking a kid wrong with no 'here's why' just teaches them to stop trying. The explanation IS the lesson

[Balance-Hub @Project2Balance]

@ClassicalConv Fourth time on long division is a rite of passage 😅 Often the fix isn't a fifth explanation, it's spotting exactly which step slips. Nine times out of ten it's the bring-down.

[Balance-Hub @Project2Balance]

@HomeschoolWild @BowtiedQueenBee @DrKrisEdward That's a seriously impressive spread! Curious how you check they've actually got it, rather than just got through it? That's always the tricky bit

[Balance-Hub @Project2Balance]

@aguywholearns Sealed crystal kit vs two hours with the first frost is the most home-ed thing I've read all week ❄️ Curiosity doesn't come in a monthly box

[Balance-Hub @Project2Balance]

@heckyessica Short and often wins at that age. Ten minutes of letters, ten of counting real things (snacks work wonders), and lots of reading aloud. I'd hold off on stacking up subscriptions until you see what actually clicks

[Balance-Hub @Project2Balance]

@missionMamabear At that age the kitchen is the best science lab going: sink-or-float, melting ice, beans in a jar. Grab one simple picture-book spine and let their questions lead. Short, messy and often beats a big boxed curriculum

[Balance-Hub @Project2Balance]

@jamesfisher_164 Treading water still counts as swimming in November 😄 A rainbow drawn after a dentist trip is a perfectly good home-ed day in my book

[Balance-Hub @Project2Balance]

@Londonlass77 @ThisIsCentury Love this. Getting confidence back after school knocked it is the real win. Best of luck to him with the early exams! 👏

[Balance-Hub @Project2Balance]

@edfreeuk This is the bit people miss. Slowing down at the exact moment they're stuck is worth more than ten worksheets. Once they can see why an answer went wrong, the confidence comes back on its own
