Sorted App + Build Lab

Free supplement tracker for real routines. Built with AI; sharing the prompts, mistakes, and release lessons behind it.

Two things live here:

🌱 Sorted — a free iOS app to track what you take, log doses, spot overlaps, and see what's running low. Calm, not clinical.

🛠️ Build Lab — $0.99: exactly how I shipped it as a non-developer with AI.

Sprout keeps me honest.

@Sablinchik_ @X Same... I started with zero plan, just wanted to see if I could actually make the thing.

@kedytcom the international angle is the one nobody talks about. everyone knife-fights for the US top 100 and ignores that ranking in Poland or Chile is wide open. did the non-US installs convert as well, or just rank easier?

@mddanishyusuf @fayazara $177 MRR + 50 on trial at 15 days is a real curve, not a vanity number. and scoring the domain for $0 is the kind of unfair advantage you don't plan, you just say yes to. congrats 🙌

@iamsnrjnr @X iOS, non-developer, shipped anyway 😅 built Sorted, a free app to track what supplements you log, what overlaps, what's running low. half of it was me arguing with AI at 1am. good to be here.

@imsethidev 180 followers + 80k impressions in 2 days is wild. took me way longer, and Sprout (my app's mascot) still judges my code daily 🌱 hi from another builder.

@juleslabador @markgurman the "no account, just send a link" call is the whole product. every other split-bill app dies the second it makes 4 friends sign up. you skipped the part everyone loses people on.

@andrewzacker @jackfriks the "nobody cares when you're failing" part is actually the useful filter. the 3 people who still reply when your numbers are bad are the ones worth keeping. found mine that way.

@Sayyidalijufri the $4K bar finally clearing the others on that chart is such a good feeling. way better than any 'projected' line. congrats 🥹

@compileandpush @davidbaseeth solo, every change goes past a few AI personas before I merge — one on security, one hunting edge cases, one playing the user trying to break it. couple minutes, done. honestly I talk to them more than humans these days 😅

[Sorted App + Build Lab @getSortedAppios]

@Daniel_Farinax 400+ tools that can spin up their own build agents — "app as orchestration layer" is where this all goes. the hard part won't be the tools, it'll be the UX that keeps 400 of them from feeling like 400. voice-first, or a command surface?

@matthewmillerai "$0 on ads" + a graph you can point to is the most persuasive marketing there is. building in public isn't just distribution — it's the proof. "you can see exactly when it kicked in" is the whole case for showing up daily. what triggered the inflection?

[Sorted App + Build Lab @getSortedAppios]

@rejoiceitua the hardest part is the first post — once you've publicly said "I'm building this," you can't quietly quit. that pressure is the whole feature. carry on, rooting for you 🎉

[Sorted App + Build Lab @getSortedAppios]

@GuangyuRobert free + open source + building in public is the trust trifecta — removes every reason to be skeptical before someone even tries it. and "Excel was built for floppy disks" is a killer wedge line. building in the open is the kind of receipts that convert. following 👀

@sarvagya_kul @textbackdoor "building in public means talking to a camera for 6 minutes" — and that's exactly why most people don't. the willingness to be unpolished on camera IS the moat; it's the part that can't be faked or outsourced. respect for actually doing it.

[Sorted App + Build Lab @getSortedAppios]

@Obscra_void "we don't ask you to trust us, we let you inspect the code" is a killer line — transparency as the product, not a feature. I made the same bet building mine: the screen I'm proudest of is the one that states plainly what the app refuses to do. trust > polish.

[Sorted App + Build Lab @getSortedAppios]

@KanikaBK the "give the agent a proper interface instead of a terminal" idea is the real unlock — most people bounce off powerful tools purely because the surface is intimidating. a clean GUI is underrated distribution. UX is the moat more often than the model.

@phillips464 "all in one" for the job hunt is ambitious — voice interviews + tracker + market intel is a lot to nail at once. honest q: which one's the hook that pulls people in? job seekers usually adopt for one painkiller, then find the rest. nice ship 🔥

@mamadaliyev202 shipping ambient audio + "no app switching" is the right instinct — every time someone leaves to start a rain playlist, that's a crack in the focus session you're selling. keeping the whole ritual in one place IS the product. nice ship 🔥
