@plahteenlahti @swmansion Removed the post by accident, in short was thinking if there are other builders who take part in shipaton and maybe to a meet up of some kind to hack & work together

@TTrimoreau Marketing XD To be fair I heard about it, but ignored it

[Jan Piotrzkowski @piotrzkowski]

@ChadAppDev @devdchaudhary Open it in an editor like gimp for example create a new project, copy paste and save new image. Gpt etc keeps metadata where it comes from.

@Y0shiU3da @RevenueCat Love it, hope this time next year I will get mine :3

[Jan Piotrzkowski @piotrzkowski]

Let me know if you are interested?

i feel it has a lot of shortcomings and needs some extra care as you use it, but it suprisingly fast builds what I want.

😼 Shipaton Log #13

I plan to extract skills for claude code that helped me to create my app store creatives/screens.

IS ANYONE INTERESTED? 😁

I believe it could help people running in shippaton, to create some cool stuff.

2. Smile to Unlock: App Blocker

My new app, that makes you to take a pause to smile before opening social apps etc and doomscroll. I build it since I was in a bad place and realised I don't smile much, but open social apps a lot.

😼 Shipaton Log #11

I'm taking a radical shift, again...

So I was thinking that I will try to less reguarly but still generate content myself, my own videos and reals. No AI slop.

I think I got a lot of ideas, that if done right may go viral.

It will require more effort to do, but I think its worth it.

I also got an idea of what I could do in 1-2 weeks with my experience as a software engineer that will help me in long term.

Not sure If it will have impact in Shipaton competition, but if it works out it can 100x my reach. It would help others as well I think :D

A lot of grinding is on my way, a lot of it...
