@rashem48 Landing page done is a real milestone. Opening the waitlist this week is the right move. What's the Mac app?

[andrew wilson @andrwwilsn]

@ItsKamranK 7. I could still ship, just slower. The scary part is how much of my muscle memory is now prompting instead of typing.

@Ali_Homsi Day 21 is brutal. Mine took a few days, but I've seen people stuck for weeks. Did you try contacting App Review through the resolution center?

[andrew wilson @andrwwilsn]

@not_sacke Honestly menu bar utilities. Tiny click targets were built for a cursor, a finger will hate them.

[andrew wilson @andrwwilsn]

@Just_Ryun Thanks Ryun. The comments basically wrote the roadmap, so it felt wrong not to ship it fast.

Launched my first Mac app on Product Hunt yesterday.

→ top 10 of the day
→ 111 upvotes
→ first paying customer

Commenters asked for heat history per AI agent, so I shipped it today.

WhoIsCooking: see which agent is cooking your MacBook, then cool it down.

[andrew wilson @andrwwilsn]

3 more sales of WhoIsCooking in the last 48 hours. Small numbers, but they're strangers paying $5 to stop their MacBook sounding like a jet.

Still one-time, no subscription.

[andrew wilson @andrwwilsn]

Lesson from launch week: the best feature on my roadmap came from a comment, not from me. Shipped it the next day.

What's the last thing a stranger's comment made you build?

[andrew wilson @andrwwilsn]

@divvsaxena Found their problem, built the fix, they paid. That's the whole playbook in one sentence. Keep documenting it.

[andrew wilson @andrwwilsn]

@asaridarr c. Launching got me traffic, but the feature people asked for in the comments is what turned it into customers.

4 AI agents flat out on an M5 MacBook: about 83°C. Same 4 agents with cooling on: about 48°C. Same work, nothing killed.

That's the whole idea behind WhoIsCooking. $5 one time, no subscription.

[andrew wilson @andrwwilsn]

@rashem48 6 to 18 in a day is a big move. Which change did it, directory listings or backlinks from your own posts?

[andrew wilson @andrwwilsn]

@by__huy The iteration speed is what flipped it for me too. Once changing something costs a prompt instead of an afternoon, the purist argument gets hard to defend.

[andrew wilson @andrwwilsn]

@om_patel5 $1500 of tokens to dodge a $9/month subscription is the most relatable indie dev math I've seen all week. And now you own it, so yes, worth it.

[andrew wilson @andrwwilsn]

Running 4 AI agents at once on a MacBook is fine until the fan sounds like a jet. What's the hottest thing you've made your laptop do with Claude Code or Codex?

[andrew wilson @andrwwilsn]

@rahulbhadoriiya The unclear first user one is the killer. Mine only got sharp once I wrote down the one annoying moment that made me build it.
