Hello friend! My name is Razvan 👋

After 1 year of employment, 3 years of freelancing and 6 years of running a tech company, I decided to build my own apps!

I want to move at my own pace, build my own products and connect with other indie makers.

If all this sounds interesting follow my journey.
Happy Friday! ☀️

Yesterday I did so much work on my app

Today I have to step back a bit, and plan the next phase

I’m willing to release 🌙 LunaFinder this month, since my accounts got more visibility due to the Chiang Mai trip

My main task of the day:

✅ come up with a release plan

Today I was working from a coworking space here in Chiang Mai 🇹🇭

I was super productive building my app.

✅ fixed caching persistence
✅ keywords storing format
✅ added cmd+a shortcut
✅ improved UI/UX toasty and popups

Getting ready for the upcoming release 🎉

This is the proof that I actually use the debugger

not much… I have some ideas of what I can do, but there are still so many things I need to learn

It’s been a week since we arrived in Chiang Mai 🇹🇭

First trip ever to Thailand

First trip to Asia

You might be familiar with these places

If you want to rediscover Chiang Mai through someone else’s eyes

and to hear about my first impressions…

I guess it depends on the accommodation

in my case, the wifi is decent, and when I go out I use esim data, which works well for me
February 10, 2026 at 12:32 AM
Yesterday I did some good progress on my app

I’ve done not one, but two releases

Chiang Mai 🇹🇭 has proven to be inspirational

and now I’m looking forward to finishing my app soon and start the marketing phase 🤩

Today we visited Chiang Mai Zoo

We wanted to do some touristy things

Seeing how big elephants are, I’m scared of the idea of being closer to them

maybe even feeding them 🤣

They are massive 😮
February 7, 2026 at 12:43 PM
Starting the day in the coworking space we have upstairs

finishing some tasks before going out

Happy Friday 🤩

what are your plans for today?

Take care 🤗🤗

I have good news and bad news

The bad news is I missed today's newsletter

The good news though is I made it to Chiang Mai 🎉

My first impression: I love it!

I know it'll be a life changing experience, and my journey will benefit from it

See you soon!

I arrived in Chiang Mai 🇹🇭 couple of hours ago

We were exhausted, and got some sleep today

Can’t wait to share more

I’ll catch up with you all soon 🤩

We just made it to Bangkok ❤️

One more flight to Chiang Mai in couple of hours

Happy Friday 🤩

I can’t believe I managed to wake up at this time

I woke up at 2AM but felt back asleep for 50min

The fight with Thailand timezone is going great 🤣

Now let’s get some work done 💪💪

give Cursor or Claude the following prompt:

do an exhaustive research on the project to find the potential security vulnerabilities

in my case, Sonnet 4.5 found 30 bugs, and created 27 todo items

you're one prompt away from fixing some critical bugs

Don't repeat my mistakes!

I landed a freelancing job and stopped promoting my services

The job ended after 2 years, and I had:

- no network
- no other opportunities
- no real portfolio

I'm sharing some tips at the and of this article:

Happy Sunday! ☺️

today I woke up at 6AM

I'm trying to adjust for the Thailand trip ✈️

at the end of the week, I have to wake up at 2AM for traveling

until now I've been sleeping until 9AM or so

sleep adjustment has been one of my biggest challenges

any tips for overcoming jet lag? #digitalnomads

I've been using a pocket notebook for quite some time

it's incredibly fulfilling to write by hand

also I no longer forget things 😬

do you use one?

Happy Friday! ☀️

I hope today is super productive

these are my tasks for the day:

✅ finish my startup licensing API
✅ write next week’s newsletter
✅ pack for Chiang Mai, Thailand 🇹🇭

Soon I’ll be traveling and I want to get the API working before leaving
