Thanks to everyone who’s downloaded or updated Countdown this week. It’s always a bit nerve-racking pressing the release button, so it’s nice seeing people already using the new widgets. Now onto the next update 🙂 #buildinpublic #indiedev
Indexing’s been running for days now. Which comes first: beta 2, or the index finally finishing? 😅
Giftlist 2.4 is out. Multiple people per list is finally here. Christmas planning just got easier. Track gifts and spending for everyone without managing separate lists. This also lays the groundwork for what's next. Grab it on the App Store.
Just shipped Countdown v1.1. Added: → event notes → repeat events Small additions that make it way more useful for everyday tracking. #buildinpublic #iosdev #indiedev #productivity
I used to keep gift ideas in notes, tabs, messages… everywhere. Built Giftlist so everything lives in one place — ideas, prices, what I've bought. Now testing multiple people per list. Feels like how it should've worked from the start. #StayOrganized #giftideas #BudgetingTips
Quick ask 🙏 If you’ve tried Countdown and it’s been useful, I’d really appreciate a quick rating or review. It genuinely helps a lot as a solo dev. #IndieDev #BuildInPublic #iosdev
Been getting some really nice feedback on Countdown. Thank you 🙏 If you haven’t seen it yet: apple.co/4v3MVbO A simple app to track important dates, plus widgets. #IndieDev #BuildInPublic #iosdev
I originally built this app just for me… I wanted a simple way to track important dates without clutter. I ended up using it every day—so I shipped it. Countdown is now live: apple.co/4v3MVbO #IndieHacker #SoloDev #BuildInPublic
Just shipped Countdown 🎉 I built it for myself to track important dates—birthdays, trips, deadlines—without clutter. Cleaned it up and released it as an MVP. apple.co/4v3MVbO Would love your feedback 🙌 #IndieDev #BuildInPublic #iOSDev
Opted to hold off on a redesign, so @giftlist.bsky.social will only have general #iOS26 support. Hopefully ready by Monday 😄
I’ve been working on a new app for a while. Its been taking a while mainly due to lack of time. Finally feels like I'm making progress #BuildInPublic #indiedev
1 stars reviews suck but it’s the first one I’ve had about it not being a free app. Is worth replying to this?
