Day 163 of building in public for @solanamobile.
Today I’m trying to migrate Cashflow to Transaction V1.
Right now, a single user action can require multiple transactions because Cashflow is built on top of Squads multisig and everything doesn’t fit into one transaction.
With Transaction V1, I should finally be able to change that.
Still have a few things to figure out:
→ Cashflow uses both Solana Kit and web3.js because Squads SDK didn’t support Kit when I built it
→ Need to check whether that’s changed
→ Need to verify that Privy embedded wallets can sign V1 transactions
If this works, I can simplify the transaction flow and stop relying on Jito bundles + paying Jito tips for every interaction.
A lot to figure out, but this could be a huge UX improvement.
See you tomorrow.
Every wallet on @solana is built for one person. Mike is building for the other case.
@heymike777, founder of @cashflow_fi, on the problem he hit in his own home
"Currently financial products are built for individuals, and I'm a really family-focused founder. When I tried to set up a treasury for my family, set up a saving account for my son, it's just impossible. Banking apps are designed for individuals, Solana wallets are designed for individuals"
"We are saving money for a new car with my wife, and also we have a saving account for our kids since he was born four years ago. And I had to set up a hardware wallet for each of these goals"
"So it's just not super comfortable, and only I have access to all these wallets. And in case something happens with me, it will be pretty hard to get access to all these funds. That's why we built Cashflow"

Day 149 of My Founder Journey.
I'm back.
Two weeks ago, I realized I was burned out. I never expected it to happen to me, but it did.
Looking back, I think I made one big mistake: I became too focused on Cashflow, Colosseum, and grants.
When those didn't work out, I felt... empty. So I'm changing my approach. I'm bringing fun back into building.
Instead of putting everything into one bet, I'll be working on multiple apps, running lots of experiments, and celebrating every small win - new users, new paying customers, higher MRR, anything that moves me forward.
Here's what I'm working on now:
→ Cashflow - the first TestFlight build is almost ready.
→ My new app - still stuck in App Store review for more than a week.
→ A few mobile games I built over 10 years ago. They still make around $500/month, and my goal is to grow that to $2,000/month.
Most importantly, I'm going to document the whole journey. I am back with my every day videos!
See you tomorrow.
Day 148 of My Founder Journey.
Still waiting for Apple to approve the app.
What’s funny is that while the app has been in review, I’ve already shipped a bunch of new features.
They rejected it twice, and each time I submitted a new build with even more improvements.
The current build has been waiting for three days now.
Hopefully, today is the day. 🤞
On the bright side, everything is ready for the Product Hunt launch.
I also got approval from the Product Hunt team after they flagged my account as a company profile (apparently using a duck as your profile picture isn’t allowed 😅).
Now it’s just a waiting game. Chilling today.
See you tomorrow.
Day 147 of My Founder Journey.
No big updates today.
Still waiting for Apple to approve the app.
Hopefully it’ll happen tonight. 🤞
In the meantime, I’m preparing everything for the Product Hunt launch.
The video is done.
The screenshots are ready.
Now it’s just the final details:
→ launch messages
→ emails
Almost there.
See you tomorrow.
Day 146 of My Founder Journey.
Just got a rejection from Apple.
It’s okay.
For most of my new apps, it usually takes two or three review rounds before everything gets approved. 😅
Fixed the issue and already resubmitted the build.
Also spent today working on growth.
I’m trying to get 500 votes for the @BinanceUkraine grant. Right now I’m at around 80, so there’s still a long way to go - but I still have five days left.
And one more thing…
As soon as the app is approved on the App Store, I’m launching on Product Hunt.
Preparing all the assets, screenshots, and copy.
Let’s see how it goes.
See you tomorrow.
Day 145 of My Founder Journey.
I took five days off from building in public.
And honestly, I needed them.
They gave me time to think, reset, and rethink my priorities.
For the next three months, I’m focusing on just three things:
→ Users
→ Growth
→ Revenue
No more building features just for the sake of building.
Every feature, every experiment, every decision has to move one of those three metrics.
The first experiment is already ready and will launch as soon as it is approved.
Also, thank you to everyone who DM’d me asking where I disappeared.
I really appreciate it.
I’m back.
See you tomorrow.
