building Lift Vault - 🇬🇧 swe student from 🇻🇪

[Daniel Melchor @dan_is_building]

9 years ago I left Venezuela, leaving behind one of the biggest humanitarian crisis of the modern world.

3 years I started helping people get stronger by becoming a Personal Trainer.

Today I’m in Manchester, UK finishing my Software Engineering degree and building projects to earn freedom on my own terms.

While nothing beats seeing someone get stronger, building tools that solve my own pain points hits different.

I've built a Manga Scraper that scrapes images from manga websites, joins multiple manga chapters into a single PDF, compresses it and sends it to your Kindle.

I've built a Calorie Banking web application to help people who track macros plan their week adjusting their caloric intake for each day.

I've built a Chrome Extension that helps youtubers build moodboards of Thumbnails faster and easily in Notion.

I've automated my Budgeting to run a Python script that handles all of the bank transfers and space movements I need to make every month.

And lastly, I'm now building Lift Vault, a camera app for powerlifters to record their sets, compress each lift video and build a lifting library with their PRs.

Follow me if you want to witness my journey to freedom!

This is my super secret mystery app 🤫

It has generated $492.90 in revenue since launching 2 weeks ago…

I validated the idea using Prelauncher

It found:
- The highest converting region
- The best ad creatives
- The pricing structure that converts best

Then:
I applied those learnings to the App Store listing and the app onboarding process

Result:
An app that generates sales from day 1

I’m in my 40s and in the same boat, but I look at it a bit differently. Having spent most of my career without AI, I used to work at a much finer grain level, spending immense brain power on syntax and low-level tasks. It felt like hard work, but it led to much faster burnout.

AI is fundamentally shifting our cognitive load. Our job is no longer the manual labor of text generation or basic logic, it’s moving toward high-level system design and architectural thinking.

I suspect what you’re feeling isn't a loss of intelligence, but a transition: you’ve successfully offloaded the low-level skills, but haven't yet fully redirected that freed up brain power toward higher level systematic challenges. It’s a different kind of sharpness we’re all learning to hone.

[Daniel Melchor @dan_is_building]

I’ve found a great formula + niche I enjoy for creating content, that’s gotten me almost 100k views on IG in less than 4 days, and more than 60 followers

Some social media stuff are finally starting to click!!

[Daniel Melchor @dan_is_building]

@Vixhal Tiktok by far, but Sora will be worse on e it gets more popular

Controversial take but I think what really made it worse was filters + editing tools

Vine was amazing but the core thing was the video itself

[Daniel Melchor @dan_is_building]

A couple of weeks ago I couldn’t hold myself on the rings

I wish my MRR moved as quickly as when I get stronger exercising 😭
