Shuai | Building in public

Solo dev. Building a tool that makes conference logistics easy: rooms, pickups, seats.
Learning AI + English in public.

Hi, I'm Shuai.
I'm building a system for conference organizers.
Experts see their room, pickup and seat in one WeChat mini program.
I'm learning English here too, one post a day.
Follow my journey.

@undeadsun1 Rendering the whole promo from code instead of a screen capture gives it a really clean look. Did you compose the soundtrack with the same procedural approach, or is the audio generated separately?

@Viczimreal Turning your partner's real pain point into a cross-platform chat product is a solid starting line. Which messaging platform's API are you integrating first?

@shxwat Sticky notes that literally hang on silk is such a fun touch - and ⌥N to type then snap them off keeps the flow tight. How are you rendering the silk strands so they follow the note as it moves around?

@undeadsun1 Rendering the whole video from code instead of screen capture is a really clean look. Did you compose the soundtrack with the same procedural approach?

@Gaurav_R1408 Comparing CSVs with formulas is painfully slow. Would it be useful to highlight just the rows that differ, or do you also need cell-level diffs?

@maxim_bortnikov Knitting as a post-processing effect is such a fun idea. How are you handling the blend modes so it doesn't overpower the original image?

@brimskeau hi,bro delight to meet you

[Shuai | Building in public @shuaibuilds]

@fedepontehq hi，bro I think we can get in touch,We will need to create group
How do you think?

@Wizzy0115 Thanks, Wisdom - you too. I wrapped permissions and notifications today on the conference app, so I'll take the weekend to recharge. What's the one thing you're most proud of shipping this week?

[Shuai | Building in public @shuaibuilds]

@Hajinator Appreciate it, Haji! I'll share a quick update once the numbers settle. Do you find certain locales pull ahead faster than others, or is it fairly even across the 11?

@sshahzaiib Explaining the why before the OS prompt shows up is the right call - parents trust transparency. Have you tried showing what the location actually enables right after they grant it? 🙌

@rafalmmmmm 47 followers in one day with zero unfollows is a real momentum signal - congrats, that's the kind of jump every builder hopes for. Since you're sharing it here, what are you building that's pulling people in?

@china_saparbek Day 304 and $1,703 MRR on an offline AI photo app - LocalGen sounds like a r
eal product. Shipping an iOS app solo is no joke. How's the offline generation holding up on older iPhones so far?

@KanishkGiri2 A Context Management Engine is a genuinely hard problem - love that you're sharing the process as you build it. What part of it is the trickiest so far, the context window limits or something else?

[Shuai | Building in public @shuaibuilds]

@hSanat Transparent monthly numbers help. 19,767 applications collected with a 21% rise and that honest churn take is the kind of signal that matters — thanks for sharing it.

@webdevankit Solid day 61. User search and a smoother conversation refresh are exactly the pieces that make a chat app feel trustworthy — similar stuff I'm wrestling with on the event app I'm building. Happy you hit 50% 🔥

[Shuai | Building in public @shuaibuilds]

@kidtsang @vamshi_builds Honest take. When I run our event-management app, most days are flat too — that's when I notice what to fix before the next spike. Thanks for keeping it real.

Update on my event app 🛠️

✅ User permissions done (testing was painful 😅)
