20+ years in HSE and quality, now building apps with AI. Working towards a bigger app, each small one is me learning a bit of it. Building in public

@swehenny you putting it up on the chrome web store

[Gabba | Gabba Works @GabbaBuilds]

@danlovesproofs so basically lock each action to one exact version so nobody can swap the code under you. how do you keep them updated

[Gabba | Gabba Works @GabbaBuilds]

@Guelug first dollar from a coffee button, love that. caffeine addict here so id be tapping it

[Gabba | Gabba Works @GabbaBuilds]

@SanjanaLaddha @heynookapp nice one getting to 150. was it mostly cold outreach, socials or ads

[Gabba | Gabba Works @GabbaBuilds]

@jijojohnz first yearly sub the same day you ship the fix, congrats thats a great day

[Gabba | Gabba Works @GabbaBuilds]

@eugenesergio redoing my website, 5 design rounds now. probably because i was already comfortable building them

[Gabba | Gabba Works @GabbaBuilds]

@TazsBuilds not app store but google play wanting 12 testers for 14 days before you can go live caught me out. getting good responses helping other devs test theirs though

[Gabba | Gabba Works @GabbaBuilds]

@anandabhinav217 a small local model looks over our app test screenshots and flags anything off. whats the first check going in

[Gabba | Gabba Works @GabbaBuilds]

@ryandunner we also have a second model, claude, check codex's work with a code checking agent. it audits what was built and what the bug hunts found

[Gabba | Gabba Works @GabbaBuilds]

@FlamingApeLLC a model getting retired mid test is rough. did you end up pinning the third one

[Gabba | Gabba Works @GabbaBuilds]

@iPradDev yeah PDF Desk for signing pdfs in the browser, and a plant problem app for android next

[Gabba | Gabba Works @GabbaBuilds]

@Yanfish31 rejected twice over image sizes would drive me nuts. did apple tell you which size was off

[Gabba | Gabba Works @GabbaBuilds]

@SofaVardazaryan approved the day after is quick. where'd you find 20 testers

[Gabba | Gabba Works @GabbaBuilds]

@_mrdiwakar yep its out, PDF Desk on the chrome web store. sign and fill pdfs and your files stay on your device

[Gabba | Gabba Works @GabbaBuilds]

@norbertbodziony @zaneccampbell Going good, easy to setup after using grok. See you're updating it frequently.
Most of my time has been setting up the VM and then leveling access across each of my systems.

[Gabba | Gabba Works @GabbaBuilds]

@solyatic can you taste it too?

[Gabba | Gabba Works @GabbaBuilds]

one codex run builds the feature and a second one only tries to break it. 5 bug hunts in one morning on PDF Desk turned up 33 issues before anyone else saw it

[Gabba | Gabba Works @GabbaBuilds]

@jul1anodev so nobody we know or swap tests with ends up leaving us a store rating. we'd rather fix stuff from private notes

[Gabba | Gabba Works @GabbaBuilds]

ran 2,100+ automated tests on PDF Desk and they all passed. then i typed my own words into a text box in the sign tool and the saved pdf just said Text

the tests logged it every run, never actually checked it lol

[Gabba | Gabba Works @GabbaBuilds]

@vokolla PDF Desk, a browser extension to sign and fill pdfs and your files stay on your device. plant problem app for android next

[Gabba | Gabba Works @GabbaBuilds]

one of our AI workers deleted files it shouldnt have. the fix wasnt telling it to be careful, it was setting things up so it cant do that again. now nothing gets deleted, it goes to a dated trash folder, and we've been exploring virtual setups so the agents work in a space they cant break
