Start our 2nd sprint.

Realized we need planning even with just 2 ppl, otherwise we’ll keep getting distracted.

need a feature to record video in my app.

couldn't decide the aspect ratio, I found most apps use 9:16, only beReal using 3:4?

The model I'm using is Whisper Medium. I switch between English and Chinese mid sentence sometimes and it still gets both.

[Billy @billyyyyy3320]

speech-to-text felt awkward so I never tried it. now I just regret didn't use it earlier.

when you are racing to ship, typing just slow down.

I found Handy is good enough, free and local.

@RevenueCat @pinGoalApp Our developer lesson learned will be on:
- Here 😅
- Threads: https://t.co/5Zs3J04BSS

[Billy @billyyyyy3320]

these are our goals for @RevenueCat's Shipaton!

our future letter will unseals the day Shipaton ends.

"1 day away from work and pinGoal" is the tough one.

How many things do you want to do in life, but only ever think about?

We made pinGoal to make that first step easier.

Because setting goals shouldn’t feel like work.

🎯 Make a goal bingo card
💌 Leave a letter for your future self
📖 Keep a diary along the way

Used to be picky about commit messages.

Now? Claude Code, just go ahead and commit.

@shirshakchavan even before AI, seniors do not write more code than juniors

[Billy @billyyyyy3320]

42 random users showed up in my analytics before I submitted to review. they all failed sign in and I cant reproduce it. freaked me out

Then I found they're all from Cupertino US. not anyone I invited to test. I guess they're just Apple bots?

@Uday_krn Got it through App Store review, so yeah, good enough! It can't handle the privacy questionnaire though

[Billy @billyyyyy3320]

App Store Connect UX so bad!

Got asc cli + a bunch of skills day one and just told Claude Code to handle it if possible

#Shipaton #appstoreconnect

[Billy @billyyyyy3320]

the CLI I'm using https://t.co/BLJWQLDJHB

[Billy @billyyyyy3320]

Not something to abuse. Apple weighs your request history, so it is worth spending on a real deadline.

[Billy @billyyyyy3320]

Waited 5 days on App Store review. Then I found expedited review. Reviewed in an hour.
