Genuinely mind-blown today. 🤯

I'm a React dev with zero Swift knowledge.

Just built an iOS widget for my app in ~2 hours.

Wild how much the barrier to shipping keeps dropping. 🚀

Thanks to @expo @Baconbrix @betomoedano.

I have zero design experience.

I found an underrated tool for creating App Store screenshots.

Used it for my finance app today and it saved me a ton of time.

Not used to putting myself on camera.
But growth usually starts where comfort ends.

Sharing my learnings and journey from here on ✨

Today I worked on getting the authentication flow up and running.

Not the flashiest feature… but slowly turning ideas into something real.

@saen_dev Yes indeed, thanks!!

[Shashank Minna Venkatesh @ShanksBuilds]

@yabsssai That’s a great idea, looking at trends could potentially make a comeback.

Today I worked on the paywall for my finance app. 💰

Spent time researching UX, exploring designs on Mobbin, and integrating RevenueCat subscriptions. 🔭

Trying to make the experience feel simple and calm instead of pushy.

POV: you come home from work and start building your startup instead of relaxing.

@Muskanjain0401 @StreamlAppApp @askOkara @enrich_labs @polsia @GoDojoAI Which of these are good?

I started using @UseFastlane for content creation and it’s good.
