Hi! I'm Nataleia, a solo female developer.

For weeks I've been building an app to help anxious minds slow down, and today I finally hit submit for App Review!

Nervous and excited at the same time.

If you're building something too, say hi. I'd love to connect!

[Nataleia @iamnataleia]

@RealNipuna So incredible! Inspiration to keep going talking about my journey and supporting others!

[Nataleia @iamnataleia]

@Sandip_Lawate Exactly!

[Nataleia @iamnataleia]

Kindness beats being impressive every time. People forget your achievements. They remember how you made them feel.

[Nataleia @iamnataleia]

@manny_gozie One step at a time

[Nataleia @iamnataleia]

stop apologizing for needing more time than other people. it's okay if your progress is quiet. it still counts.

[Nataleia @iamnataleia]

@__vforvisionary You’re never behind, the only competition you have is you :)

[Nataleia @iamnataleia]

@MarkusDerFreie Haha, so we're all stuck in the same queue

[Nataleia @iamnataleia]

When you feel like giving up, think about who you'll be a year from now.

Would that version of you be glad you quit today? Or wish you had kept going a little longer? Who could you became if you don’t quit?

Most of the time, the answer is obvious. It's just hard to do the work on a bad day.

[Nataleia @iamnataleia]

@imsotata Oh we can!! 😄

[Nataleia @iamnataleia]

@whoiselcarlee @thesecret Glad it resonates:)

[Nataleia @iamnataleia]

@BirhanNega Exactly

[Nataleia @iamnataleia]

This is what I'm trying to create on this account, people who support each other, share the real journey, and cheer for each other's wins. Come join! 💪🏼🤍

[Nataleia @iamnataleia]

@MarkusDerFreie That waiting phase is exactly where it gets tested. Rooting for your review, hope we both get the green light soon! 🤞🏼

[Nataleia @iamnataleia]

@DramaWorksatux Haha, future you is already proud 😄

[Nataleia @iamnataleia]

@_SmarterWithAI_ Love that addition. Exactly what I went for in my app. An easy undo, no "you lost your streak", no points. Just pure understanding 🫶🏼

[Nataleia @iamnataleia]

AI can design an app screen in seconds now. It still can't tell you how that screen feels to someone having a panic attack.

Building for anxious is to design for the worst moment, not the best one:

- One main action per screen

- Fewer choices, not more features

- No urgency, no red badges, no "you missed a day"

- Words that sound calm, not clever

The AI builds what you ask for. Knowing what to ask for is still your job. Thoughts?

[Nataleia @iamnataleia]

@gabxlov That's not a small dream. Peace of mind is honestly the most expensive thing on that list.

[Nataleia @iamnataleia]

@Divayetty1 "Your goal is not to avoid falling" should be on every woman's wall. As a solo founder, I fall about once a week 😄

[Nataleia @iamnataleia]

@SophiatechAIx One more I'd add: they can say "I don't know" without feeling smaller. Confidence isn't having every answer! 👏🏼

[Nataleia @iamnataleia]

@beyouforeal Going through it alone made you strong. Just don't let it convince you that you always have to. Letting someone in later isn't weakness, it's the next step 🥹🙏🏼

[Nataleia @iamnataleia]

@coachseeel And not giving up doesn't mean never changing the plan. Sometimes it means keeping the goal and switching the way you get there.
