After a few months of failed tiktok experiments on my Poland-based account, I bought a new phone and set it up with US ip. Followed @alexcooldev guides & it works way better.
Finally got the new app approved & functional. Started posting some videos. Plan is to learn marketing via TikTok/IG while also doing the good old SEO.
Thinking your dev environment is safe just because you haven't "gone public" is a mistake. Even if you haven't shared your subdomains (like app. or admin.) or specific URLs, they aren't invisible. Bots are constantly scraping DNS records, SSL certificates, browser extensions...
#hacking Another tip to prevent your web app startup from being hacked is to change the default database table names (example: adding random prefixes like `rnd48_`).
#hacking When coding (or Vibe-coding) your startup, expect hackers to try to break into your app really fast. The first thing they will try is Blind SQL injection, and it usually works if you don't use a programming framework that will handle this for you by default.
2. My Parents are OK - targeting 35 to 55-year-old adults who live in a different city than their single parents
3. Swap Leads AI - targeting 25 to 45-year-old adults who are either founders or marketers of an online business.
Three new startups, three very different targets.
1. One Goal: Lock & Focus - targeting 28 to 45-year-old adults, mid-level professionals, creative, or knowledge workers.

Developing the initial version of One Goal: Lock & Focus took about 2 weeks (full-time development); obtaining Google permissions took 1 week; and obtaining Apple production permissions took 5 weeks (2 weeks for development permissions and 3 weeks for production).
I am testing some tools to post messages across multiple social media platforms from a single place. Currently, I am testing Buffer and FeedHive. Any other recommendations?
3. Swap Leads AI
A secure middleman for startup cross-promotions. Find newsletter partners and guarantee a fair exchange, without ever trading or exposing your actual email lists.
This year, I’m building and launching three new startups:
1. One Goal: Lock & Focus
2. My Parents Are OK
3. Swap Leads AI

2. My Parents are OK
A passive alert system for your elderly parents. If their phone doesn't move or get used all day, you get a ping. No cameras, no location tracking, no privacy issues. Just peace of mind without changing their daily routine.
@NeverSinkDev I think AI can help you improve the quality of the project. Why would it bother anyone how it is made, as long as the outcome is better?
I have starting using AI at my company and I deliver faster and more quality work. As long as you review everything , AI usage is really good
Feel like tiktok is now spammed with hundreds of iterations of the same app/video format. Or maybe I'm my own vibe coding bubble. Either way, I'm working on a app too and will document how it goes.
