Now this is a citizen reporting initiative I can get behind! The Citizen app (crime / accidents) scares me too much, but reporting science observations in Tahoe?? Count me in.

Getting screenshots of errors from your users is embarrassing , but it is a blessing. I am still learning, so having users willing to take the time to point out issues is incredible.

... it is also important to fix the issues to show you are listening (which I did). 💪 #buildinpublic

Sure, AI can magically make websites or solve hard scientific problems. But if you need fancy folds on toilet paper or towels...

AI ain’t got nothing on YouTube.

Our house didn’t have hot water for a few minutes so I sent this image to ChatGPT along with a PDF of the manual to help me troubleshoot and fixed it.

The level of detail and specificity it provided was amazing. Watch out plumbers!

A warm shower awaits.

Youtube is a MONSTER, now leading in podcast listening. There are so many use cases for Youtube, I feel like it is ripe for some amazing indie apps built on top of it. A dedicated language learning app built on Youtube? Or a dedicated sports highlight app? Does anyone know of any apps like this?

Just added a feature to www.bilibingo.com that will show the current and previous call on a players mobile display. That way, even if you miss the voice announcement you can still see what was called.

Middle school kids playing with bubble wrap in FedEx… “I could buy like 50 of these and we could wrap ourselves up have a bubble wrap fight”

I want to be their friend and have a bubble wrap fight!

Someone is using my AI voice-enabled Bingo website! Glad someone finds it fun. #buildinpublic https://www.bilibingo.com/

The lack of support for congestion pricing in NY is sad. A December Siena poll showed most New Yorkers (even those in NYC) opposed the toll (but that was before the toll started). How are New Yorkers feeling about it now that the data shows it is working?

Running DELETE commands on my production db today on https://www.pitlanepicks.com/ to get ready for the 2025 season. Wish me luck! 🤞

As a small developer, what is the best platform for emails and push notifications? I am currently using OneSignal but have not been impressed with them and testing the waters of other providers. #buildinpublic

54% of the (small sample) users coming to check out my Bingo site are on mobile. This presents an onboarding challenge because the homepage is intended to be a shared bingo board. Players can join on their phone (via QR code). #buildinpublic

Just testing my social share image and title for my simple LLC page. Do not like this post. Don't you dare. #buildinpublic

Putting myself out there a little by posting my new AI voice-enabled Bingo website to /r/SideProject. Will report back on how it goes (#buildinpublic). Would love any ideas or suggestions on marketing a fun Bingo website like this.

Hey @nerd4cities.bsky.social, a new guest for your channel? You both can dig over the data and go back and forth discussing how "HUGE" high speed rail will be for California. 🙏

Poking around Posthog analytics. Seems amazing for small projects. #buildinpublic

Apparently there was a climate crisis in the 1600s too. I’ll have to ask my AI apps about it to dig in more and learn how it is similar/different than what we have now.

Heard from charleshughsmith.substack.com/p/is-the-wor...

We need so much more 1-to-1 conversations outside of our bubble. "Deep Canvas Conversations" need to be more normal.

Notes:
- Be direct and kind
- Share your story
- Invite them to connect your story to their's

So disappointed in other platforms. Looking for other solo software builders here.
