👋 After 10+ years as a mobile developer building apps for others, I'm finally building one for myself. I'm officially starting my indie journey today and sharing the entire process in public! 🚀 #buildinpublic

Workouts in OverLift now persist across app restarts. 💾

Under the hood: migrated in-memory -> Room, running cross-platform from commonMain. Android + iOS, same code.

KMP devs running Room, what was your trickiest gotcha? 👇

@SebastianRoehl @focuskitapp Nice, I assume these are machine translations? If so, did you get them reviewed by humans or do you feel it's not necessary at this point?

[Mircea @MirceaBuilds]

@Aivars_Meijers The wasteland part is so true, I'm building up the courage to go in and do a proper purge, hopefully resulting in a cheaper iCloud subscription 😆

@TheK_Nox As cliche as it may sound, definitely the barbell bench press. There's just something about it

[Mircea @MirceaBuilds]

@adamlyttleapps You won't regret it.

[Mircea @MirceaBuilds]

@ShelfCheck Thanks, might not be te prettiest but gets the job done for now

[Mircea @MirceaBuilds]

It's been a while since I last posted, but...

In the meantime I’ve wrapped up the UI for the Active Workout screen (arguably the most important view in a fitness app).

Anything you'd change? 👇

@SeaCatWiz The app has automatic workout progression logic built in. The workouts are pre-defined.

You can fail a set if for example you pick a starting weight that's a bit too high, or at some point you hit a temporary plateau (when you might need a deload, for example).

[Mircea @MirceaBuilds]

@SeaCatWiz Good question! It's basically marking the associated set status as "failed". This will influence automatic weight progression calculation within the app.

I'm planning on adding an overlay/some info text that explains this.

[Mircea @MirceaBuilds]

@jogicodes How's the app doing overall, any revenue since launch? Good luck with the new screenshots 🤞

@martinlasek @Aivars_Meijers Having a separate room for the office is so nice, the physical separation from the rest helps a lot mentally as well :)

[Mircea @MirceaBuilds]

@hamen Curios to know why you chose Flutter over KMP+CMP?

[Mircea @MirceaBuilds]

@VivienMahe @RevenueCat @KMPShip The power of KMP 💪🏼 I'm curious, what did you use for auth?

[Mircea @MirceaBuilds]

@VivienMahe @RevenueCat Nice start! Just a small thing: is the image/logo on the sign in screen supposed to be an analogy combining a flower with money (coins)? If so, personal opinion, it's not very apparent 🤔

[Mircea @MirceaBuilds]

@Aivars_Meijers Tell me about it, story of my life for the past 10+ years as an Android dev haha

[Mircea @MirceaBuilds]

@Aivars_Meijers Then unless the app is using some hardware-related APIs (e.g. BLE), you should be fine I think. Good luck! 🚀

@VivienMahe @RevenueCat Exactly, and one of the founders, Dmitry, goes into details in this excellent podcast: https://t.co/yyqjYfbLjk
