Bookmark this if you build MVPs:
- Validate with a fake landing page
- Connect 1 real API only
- Track only 1 metric early
- Charge before you “optimize”, no one cares about dark mode or scalability if you're not making $.
I use this checklist when I'm working on a project.
Want to skip the line in app development?
Don’t “learn everything”.
Use AI for boilerplate.
Focus your brain on logic + UX.
That's how you ship multiple apps a month - like me :)
MVP cheat codes most devs ignore:
- Validate ideas with a Typeform before coding
- Steal UI from proven apps (then adapt)
- Automate deploys early.
This is how solo devs ship like teams.
I spent 100+ hours learning how to ship MVPs fast.
Here’s the 5-minute version I wish I had:
• Don’t start with code
• Validate with a fake flow
• Build only the “money screen”/main function
• Ship ugly, then iterate
This alone cuts months off builds.
After 3 years as a teen dev (started at 16),
I nailed my ship-fast workflow:
1. Idea to wireframe in Figma
2. build in React Native for cross-platform
3. deploy via TestFlight.
Cut HormoneShield's timeline from months to 1 week.

This week, I shipped HormoneShield. ✨
1. Scan your deodorant/shampoo/toothpaste
2. Find out what they're really putting in them.
3. Find cleaner alternatives.
4. Protect your hormones.
Now available on the App Store:

@OnchainInvoice Thank you!
This was just a first project to get my foot in the app dev world.
My second project - Hormoneshield (way better, real utility)- stops men from being castrated by their everyday grooming products.
Very proud of HormoneShield.
