Frontend dev (10+ yrs). Laid off because of AI, now building full-time.

Building Pannly — Mac screen recorder with auto-zoom + webcam bubble.
Honest build log.

[CodeSolo @codesolodev]

39, based in Czech Republic.
10+ years as a frontend dev.
Laid off because of AI — now building full-time.

Two kids (10 and 5).

I automated the entire online business of my wife:
stocking, orders, invoicing, emailing, fulfillment.
~700 active users on the platform, ~400 real orders shipped per month.
Physical products sold through a Facebook group.

Now I’m building Pannly: a Mac screen recorder that zooms where you click, smooths the cursor, adds a nice background and includes your webcam in a bubble.
One-time purchase (for now). Everything stays on your Mac.

Looking for early feedback and people who record demos or tutorials.

If that sounds interesting, follow along or drop a reply.

@JackFOmni Thank you! I wouldn’t call it guts. I just decided to have fun and enjoy my time here on X. Even though I’m a bit introverted, I have to admit I enjoy the attention and connecting with people.

[CodeSolo @codesolodev]

I told myself I’d try a video once I reached 100 followers. So, why not?

I honestly didn’t expect to get here so quickly. Let’s connect, and feel free to ask me anything!

@pablonasarre__ Sounds good! Do you mean customers will create the websites themselves, or will you build the sites and deliver them to clients?

[CodeSolo @codesolodev]

Checking X first thing this morning and seeing so many new followers! You just made my day. Thanks for all the support! Now, back to work! 🚀

[CodeSolo @codesolodev]

Anyway, time to get some sleep and start fresh tomorrow. I’ll keep you updated!

One of the first videos I exported from my own app. 🎥

Auto-zoom is already feeling pretty good. Backgrounds and colors still need a lot of work — everything looks a bit washed out right now.

Plenty left to do, but it’s nice to finally see it working end-to-end. 🚀

[CodeSolo @codesolodev]

@pablonasarre__ What are you building?

@TheFoundersAsc Unfortunately, I don’t have much free time for games these days. Between the kids, the household, and the business, there’s not much time left. But back in my prime, I was all about EA Sports!

@OnePersonHQ No, it’s not Grokbot. I built it with Claude, but it’s a standalone app that runs on its own. It doesn’t depend on any AI subscriptions, tokens, or anything like that.

[CodeSolo @codesolodev]

@thehappydevOx 🤝🤝🤝 Just followed you back! Looking forward to seeing your tools and your progress over the next ten weeks. Good luck!

[CodeSolo @codesolodev]

@liruifan9 Thanks! I think I might do that. Which iOS app would you recommend for adding captions? A free one, preferably. I already have enough subscriptions! lol

[CodeSolo @codesolodev]

@mcc3coll 🤝 Connected!

[CodeSolo @codesolodev]

@TheFoundersAsc Hey, just followed you back! What’s your favorite game to play?

[CodeSolo @codesolodev]

@founderkpi 🤝 Just followed you back! What’s your business about? Tell me more.

[CodeSolo @codesolodev]

@dhruvthaker3 Yeah, why not? Go ahead and follow me first! What’s your business about?

[CodeSolo @codesolodev]

@tvcdave Yeah, why not! What are you building, or what are you up to?

[CodeSolo @codesolodev]

Nepřestává mě překvapovat, na jakých nápadech a systémech se dá postavit byznys. Doufám, že se vám se všemi daří podle představ!

Dělal jste je úplně sám, nebo pracujete v týmu? Já jsem dříve pracoval v týmu střídavě asi 5-15 lidí, ale po vyhazovu někdy z kraje roku jsem se vydal na vlastní pěst.

[CodeSolo @codesolodev]

@kaireceipts Yeah, I told myself I’d post a VIDEO when I reached 100 followers. Until then, I’d pretty much only posted text. Yesterday I posted my first photo, and today my first video.

[CodeSolo @codesolodev]

@nmdxr1 I bet you’ll be using the app too, not just your wife! Wishing you lots of luck!
