I’m building softDev23 in public while learning and shipping software as a solo dev.

Current focus:
AIOS: personal AI operating system
Web apps: up next
iOS apps: still building and improving them

Follow along for honest solo dev progress, bugs included.

@araseb_ Gemini helped build most of my products so far, but that is changing as I have switched to Codex and now Claude.

I just feel Anthropic and OpenAI are actually shipping more updates and tools that devs want to use. And with Fable 5, who knows where we are headed with Claude.

@TVanWelsenes Hey, Thomas. I'm always down to connect.

Here's one of my projects. A gamified Habit Tracker live on the App Store: https://t.co/fLsfPcnkDT

@sflorimm Loving the look of the app icon, Floro. It looks so clean!

@BRCTrades99 Well said, Billy. 🙂

A little more context:

I started with iOS apps because I wanted to learn by shipping real things.

Now I’m also exploring web apps and turning my AIOS into something that could be useful to other solo builders.

Still early. Still messy. That’s kind of the point.

@BRCTrades99 You're welcome, and thanks for your kind words. It was our family cat. She was 18. Lived a long and happy life.

@Steezehuman I am definitely not monetized, Hello. 😀

Standing by to thank you...

@Heyyanyaa I mean, I'll take a follow from you, Anyaa, if you're offering. And anyone else who sees this. I'm not picky! 😆

@tobiflamme Can anyone explain to me how this gets eyes on my account? I haven't been on Twitter since before Elon took over. A lot has changed! 😅

[softDev23.com @softDev23]

@aibekjumabek Good questions, Aibek. If you had asked me over a week ago, I might have thought, "yes." But that was until I saw Fable 5. Now, I'm not so sure.

@ashuuu_soft Hi Ashuuu, I'm definitely into blahblahblahhhh. 😆

Let's connect and talk tech.

The 10 apps in 2026 goal sounds ambitious until you realize most of them are small focused tools. Not 10 Instagrams. 10 utilities that do one thing well and respect your privacy. That's a very different kind of scale.

@creaseIQ Honestly, I just started this new account, so I can't say. I haven't been on Twitter (X) since long before Elon took over.

@Jacobmalherbe21 I left the door wide open.
