built a journal that cannot read your entries. shipaton 2026. android, end to end encrypted, no ads, no trackers.

[valentine @v_tilneac]

some things are worth writing down precisely because nobody else can read them. that is the whole point of my journal, and the reason it took months to build. what would you write if nobody could read it? #shipaton #buildinpublic #android

[valentine @v_tilneac]

anyone else find writing the store description harder than building the app? i have rewritten mine six times

[valentine @v_tilneac]

be honest with me. does end to end encrypted actually mean anything to you, or is it marketing noise at this point?

[valentine @v_tilneac]

four months building and the worst bug was a photo that displayed fine but would not open. what is the silliest bug that cost you a whole day?

[valentine @v_tilneac]

what is the smallest thing you shipped that made the biggest difference? mine was changing a single word on a button

[valentine @v_tilneac]

spent three hours making the delete button ask are you sure. how long do other people spend on the boring safety bits?

[valentine @v_tilneac]

which is worse, an app that sells your data, or one that is free and makes no money at all? i genuinely do not know

[valentine @v_tilneac]

@codesbycj what made you pick that stack? i keep wondering if i chose wrong and it is too late to ask

@elhamteh_eth @BeldexCoin curious how far you took the privacy side. was it encryption at rest or did you go further?

@Amitkum46462848 how are you finding testers? that has genuinely been the slowest part of shipping for me
