Vibe coding got me from idea → App Store.
Now I’m trying to get from 0 → 100 users.
Learning marketing, testing content, failing at hooks, trying again.
This is my first app, so I’m figuring it out in public.

@ajackm That actually makes a lot of sense. I’ve been overthinking the hook instead of testing enough variations. I’m going to try this with the same video and change only the first line. Thanks, this is super useful.
Still trying to crack the “good hook” problem.
I’m realizing that making a decent app is only half the job.
The other half is figuring out how to make someone care in the first few seconds.
Here’s today’s ZeroGallery attempt 👀
#BuildInPublic#AppMarketing#IndieHacker
I finally launched my first app 🥹📱
I built ZeroGallery completely on my own.
The idea was simple: I had way too many photos on my phone, but cleaning my camera roll always felt painfully boring.
So I turned it into a swipe game.

I’m still learning a lot and this is honestly just the beginning for me.
If you have an iPhone and want to give it a try, I’d genuinely love to hear what you think. 💜
ZeroGallery is now available on the App Store.

That’s a really good point, and actually something I’ve been thinking about too.
The idea is that once you review a photo, ZeroGallery remembers that decision so you shouldn’t keep seeing the same “maybe” photos over and over again.
I want each cleanup session to actually feel like progress, not like starting from the same pile every time 😄
Thanks for bringing this up!
Solo app building is basically:
10% idea
20% vibe coding
20% fixing what vibe coding broke 😭
50% figuring out how to get people to actually download it
With ZeroGallery, I’m doing everything myself: design, coding, App Store stuff, TikTok, ads, analytics, all of it.
I thought building the app would be the hard part.
Turns out marketing is the real boss fight. 📱
If you use an iPhone, I’d genuinely love it if you tried ZeroGallery and told me what you think. Every download and piece of feedback helps a lot 💜
Solo builders, is it the same for you?
@i_mika_el Thank you! Really appreciate that 🙂 I wanted the cleanup to feel as natural and effortless as possible, so swipe felt like the obvious choice. Still improving it every day!
Building an app alone is such a weird experience 😅
One minute you’re designing a screen, then you’re fixing a bug, making a TikTok, checking analytics, replying to feedback… and somehow you’re also supposed to figure out marketing.
ZeroGallery is still tiny, but seeing real people use something I built from scratch is pretty wild.
Still figuring it all out. 📱💜
I made photo cleanup feel like swiping through a game. 📸
