Solo dev UI tip

one clear action per screen.

Users don’t care how clever the layout is.

What’s the ugliest UI decision you shipped this week?

@0xPaulvibe Early testing UX on PWA and Native as a final milestone

Honest question

Is “building in public” still working for solo founders in late 2026, or has the feed become too noisy?

What kind of posts still get real replies from other builders?

[Ahmed Els @ahmedelsio]

Solo developers

what’s your current stack for mobile apps?

- Expo + Supabase
- React Native + Firebase
- Something else entirely

Curious what’s actually shipping in production right now.

@darioguariglia Keep it up connected ✋

[Ahmed Els @ahmedelsio]

Hey developers! 🙋‍♂️

If you’re already using AI agents and getting into vibe coding, here’s something to think about:

If subscriptions ever get too pricey, would you still feel confident building things on your own? 🤔

Let’s #connect before it’s to late

Solo founders i'm wondering

how each one validate a saas idea before he start any conding ?

1. Ship the idea in a small milestone for test ?
2. Build the idea and put it infornt of the people ?
3. Building a personal pain and try to sell it while using it ?
4. Different Steps

waiting a freindly answers

let's #connect and #share our thoughts and feedbacks

[Ahmed Els @ahmedelsio]

@Isaac_Dev0 Vibe coding era makes it a little challenging to test an idea not ready

[Ahmed Els @ahmedelsio]

@TroolyAI Here we are 👋

[Ahmed Els @ahmedelsio]

@samueldeploys Agree 👍 but some settings could a new deployment if you didn’t make it dynamic

[Ahmed Els @ahmedelsio]

Day [47] of building my side project solo.

Shipped the core feature today. It works… mostly.

the hardest part isn’t the code anymore.
it’s deciding what *not* to build.

What’s the one feature you cut that actually made your product better?

[Ahmed Els @ahmedelsio]

@crpsynx Exactly, I cannot agree more; numerous projects remained local due to the cycle of unlimited features.
