building skarbi, a calm wishlist & gift planning app

sharing the messy product, design, and launch lessons as i go

[Volodymyr Pavlenko @mindinpanic]

i’m building skarbi.

a calm wishlist & gift planning app for families.

save gift ideas when they appear.
organize them by person or occasion.
share wishlists with family.
let guests reserve gifts without an account.

no more scattered notes, screenshots, links, and last-minute “what should we buy?” messages.

building it in public, all the way to app store.

@Gavel_on_X coffee first, conquer later. or maybe just coffee

@adamlyttleapps the silence after launch day is the part nobody posts about. it's just you and your doubts

[Volodymyr Pavlenko @mindinpanic]

@chimpansky tried gemma 4 through llama.cpp yesterday. a 12b multimodal that runs on my macbook without melting it. google did something right

@Stackcrafted reviewing 100 ai prs a day isn't maintaining. it's security work they didn't sign up for

@reve another 4k model claiming the crown. the image gen space is moving so fast the benchmarks are stale by tuesday

[Volodymyr Pavlenko @mindinpanic]

@karankendre someone made a whip for claude and i'm not even surprised anymore. 2026 is unhinged man

@pranaveight codexmaxxing is not a word but i know exactly what it means. the tremors are real bro

[Volodymyr Pavlenko @mindinpanic]

@FlowHaa man everything in a campervan and no 9-5 is the dream most of us are too scared to actually live. respect

[Volodymyr Pavlenko @mindinpanic]

@jirigalis bro the algo punishes you for having a life. one day off and your analytics look like a crypto crash

[Volodymyr Pavlenko @mindinpanic]

@valbuildr @pcshipp catching people before they cancel instead of after is the most underrated retention play. the timing is everything bro

[Volodymyr Pavlenko @mindinpanic]

@pcshipp the app graveyard. they want the idea of the tool more than the tool itself. onboarding gap detected bud

[Volodymyr Pavlenko @mindinpanic]

@emaann28 the checklist that spawns another checklist is the real founder tax. day 47 and still shipping is the win man

[Volodymyr Pavlenko @mindinpanic]

@VraserX the style shift is too consistent to be random. someone at openai is having way too much fun with unreleased tools

[Volodymyr Pavlenko @mindinpanic]

@MikeHoffmann build in a weekend, find customers for free, launch before you're ready. this is the playbook for the next decade bro

[Volodymyr Pavlenko @mindinpanic]

@cansar from consumer products to codex is a hell of a career move. the agent interface war just got another player man

[Volodymyr Pavlenko @mindinpanic]

@stefabrudan using different models for different parts of the stack is the mature take. no single tool wins everywhere

[Volodymyr Pavlenko @mindinpanic]

@DanKornas an agent skill that goes from idea to shipped is a bold promise. the gap between step 1 and step 10 is where everyone quits

[Volodymyr Pavlenko @mindinpanic]

@itshimanshugup sometimes the most productive thing you can do is stop. the comeback after a real pause is always stronger bud

[Volodymyr Pavlenko @mindinpanic]

@Tim_Denning the simplest advice hits hardest. no hacks, no shortcuts, just show up man

@XRoboHub 8 robots on agt getting 4 yeses. we're officially living in the future and it dances better than me
