Two months ago, I started sharing my journey of building products in public.

Since then, I've met some amazing founders and learned a lot along the way.

Hi, I'm Nirav, a solo developer from 🇮🇳 building products with AI.
Right now, I'm working on:
• MemoryLens - a privacy-first AI photo app
• A new AI app I'm building for Shipaton 2026 👀

I share the wins, mistakes, lessons, and everything in between as I build and ship.
If you enjoy following builders who ship in public, follow along. 🚀

@ChrisTranGG I’m on the Base plan 😅 Initially, it took me 2–3 hours to hit the limit, but now I’m hitting it in just ~1.5 hours. I’ll probably get Max in the future when I have more time outside my 9–5.

[Nirav Prajapati @nirav_29p]

Claude Code has been hitting my usage limit insanely fast for the past couple of days.

I’m getting only ~40–60 minutes of usage, then waiting ~4 hours for the reset.

Not sure what changed, but this is honestly the worst experience 😭

Anyone else facing this? What should I do?

[Nirav Prajapati @nirav_29p]

@boringdev77 Yeah, I know it’s a 5h window 😅 The issue is I’m hitting the limit within ~1 hour, so I end up waiting ~4 hours for the reset.

[Nirav Prajapati @nirav_29p]

@molaerga This one’s the second one, right? 👀 what’s the name of this one?

[Nirav Prajapati @nirav_29p]

@kirtandopamine "10+ years of Claude Code experience” bro is hiring from 2035 😅

[Nirav Prajapati @nirav_29p]

I want to follow a structured plan, but honestly, I haven’t had much time to work on it.

Weekdays are packed, so I barely get time to build. Then on weekends, the AI limits hit way too quickly 😭

So right now, I’m still figuring out the best way to stay productive.

How about you?

Thinking about buying Mobbin Pro for UI/UX inspiration.

Haven’t bought it yet - is it worth it?

[Nirav Prajapati @nirav_29p]

@heysatya_ Absolutely 💯 The real impact of incredible design. No AI slop, just great design.

[Nirav Prajapati @nirav_29p]

@heysatya_ $107 MRR in just 1 day. That’s a crazy start!! 🔥

[Nirav Prajapati @nirav_29p]

@molaerga Perfect example of supreme UI/UX.

[Nirav Prajapati @nirav_29p]

@heysatya_ Launch post got 328K impressions. That’s insane 📈

[Nirav Prajapati @nirav_29p]

@molaerga 💯 active users! 🥳 Congrats!

[Nirav Prajapati @nirav_29p]

@molaerga 🤔 How long does it usually take for App Store downloads to show up in App Store Connect?

[Nirav Prajapati @nirav_29p]

@jenidesignns Clean and premium 👏 Nice work! Where do you get inspiration for onboarding UI?

[Nirav Prajapati @nirav_29p]

@rehanxahmed Ohh, that image. How many iterations did it take to get the final background?

On IG:
Slideshows: 11 views
Videos: 193 views

So far, videos are clearly getting way more reach than slideshows.

Looks like I need to spend more time on video format now 🙃

The annoying part? Videos are way harder to create 😭

[Nirav Prajapati @nirav_29p]

@molaerga The last one is always there 💀 It’s not in our hands.

[Nirav Prajapati @nirav_29p]

@PersonalFinNerd For now, I’m just rendering it frame by frame 😅

[Nirav Prajapati @nirav_29p]

Still waiting on my merchant account verification… it’s been 24+ hours now 😅

While waiting, I built this pixel-style animated fox 🦊 for my app, #Shipaton.

The website is mostly ready too, but I want to get the test link first before sharing it.
