A year ago, I started working on Drinklytics. On and off, it went public in June.
If I were starting now, I'd do this:
* Find testers in days, not weeks
* Less worrying about publishing
* Apply I.C.E. prioritization way earlier
What would you change if you restarted your project? #buildiinpublic

For too long, I thought about building an app. I read about frameworks, editors, architecture... I kept delaying the start.
In the time I spent "planning to start", I could have already had a working app. You just have to start. What's the one mindset shift that finally made you start?

Finding ideas for a product sometimes requires deep concentration, other times they come when I stop thinking about it.
My best ideas come while walking in nature listening to a hilarious podcast, they bubble up from nowhere.
What is your go-to practice for generating ideas?

Building Drinklytics, I decided to solve a problem I definitely don't have yet: vendor lock-in 😅.
So, naturally, I spent some time building a full import/export feature. A short thread on why... 🧵

My brain during a new feature idea is like Inside Out.
The architect 🏛️: Mocks, specs, a robust structure before line 1 of code.
The shipper 🚀: YOLOOOOOOOOOOOO! Build the core, ship. Done is better than perfect
I try for balance, but I'm an Architect. You?

My three go-to moves when #sideproject blocks happen:
📝 I re-read my notes/roadmap: often the idea is already there, the I.C.E. method helps with priorities
📈 Mixpanel data helps uncover problems and opportunities
🗣️ I talk to users (few), I receive good feedback through DMs

New quarter, #freshstarteffect:
Morning: feet on the ground → workout, or I will turn into a stone 🗿
Day: main work + home/family
Evening: one or two hours on side projects, because every step counts. I don't always succeed, but I try.
What's your focus for this quarter's build?

Drinklytics app #buildinpublic, an ASO (App Store Optimization) recap. 📈I kept seeing a theory on Reddit: without an initial ad spend, the Play Store algorithm basically ignores you.
So an experiment: 100% organic from scratch. Here's what happened after 3 months.. 🧵👇

With the last Drinklytics update I focused also on core performance 🚀. This includes optimizations for initial loading and scrolling, resulting in a smoother, more responsive experience. It's designed to efficiently manage even large volumes of saved drink entries. #BuildInPublic #AppUpdate

Reaching 1000 installs in 6 months is a big challenge for me, especially since it's a #sideProject. I don't have magic formulas, just a simple plan: improve the app, share everything, and learn a bit about #ASO. #BehindTheScenes #BuildInPublic

I got my hands on my app's #UI and made a few changes. As a non-designer, it was a fun challenge. 💪 I'm #buildinpublic and I'd love to hear from the community: what are your favorite tools for intuitive app design? And hey, do you appreciate the changes? All advice is welcome!
