I think the internet needs more cozy places.

More warm drinks, comforting games, quiet creativity, gentle encouragement and little reminders that you don’t always have to be productive.

If that sounds like your vibe, Hey I’m Em and I’m glad you found me. Stay a while.

Every app wants to grab your attention.

I’m much more interested in building software that knows when to leave you alone.

[TheCozyDev @The_CozyDev]

What’s one tiny thing an app does that instantly makes you feel calmer?

Mine is when the timer doesn’t scream at you when it ends…

it just gently fades.

Curious what yours is ☕️

@michellexw35 Riiight! Such a great game ☺️

Solid day today—everything just fell into place.

Loads ticked off, progress made, and I can finally switch my brain off for a bit.

Now it’s Xbox, an ice-cold Irn-Bru (still the GOAT 🧡), and absolutely no guilt.

What’s everyone unwinding with tonight?

@adhamuxi Funny thing is, no matter what app you build, at some point you end up integrating email anyway.

@araseb_ Newgrounds. Looking back, it was such a creative corner of the internet.

@garyoneill I think that’s why talking to people early matters so much. I’d much rather find out in week two than month four, even if it’s a hard conversation.

@HixonStudio 100%. It’s amazing how different the platform feels when you treat it as a place to learn rather than just scroll.

@icreatelife It’s been the biggest surprise for me too. I expected to post updates about my apps… I didn’t expect to find a community that genuinely wants to see each other succeed.

@doja_dan 😂😂 promise you won’t regret it!

[TheCozyDev @The_CozyDev]

@doja_dan Absolutely, nostalgia is real with it too. Just looks way better, Obviously 😂

[TheCozyDev @The_CozyDev]

@doja_dan Halo Campaign Evolved 🎮

@SakshiSugandhi The lack of upgradeability.

The hardware lasts for years, but if you underestimate your RAM or storage on day one… you’re stuck.

[Carlos Valentin @CarlosBBuild]

What’s your motive for making iOS apps?

[TheCozyDev @The_CozyDev]

@CarlosBBuild Honestly, I just want to make software that leaves people feeling a little better than when they opened it.

Most apps fight for your attention. I’d rather build ones that quietly help, then get out of the way.
