👩🏻‍🎓CS grad | 👶🏻mom | 👩🏻‍💻Indie app dev

Working on IttyBittyBites during nap time - a baby recipe app that is simple, and personal.

Passed all the coding rounds for a new grad role. Still got a rejection.

It stung. Not just emotionally, but because it pulled me away from the indie app I’m building.

So for now, I’m back to focusing on Itty Bitty Bites — my first mobile app.

Less burnout, more momentum.

This week I set up the backend for my first mobile app — and went with Supabase.

Here’s why it felt like the right call (as someone who’s mostly done web + frontend until now)

Thought building a baby recipe app in React Native would be chill… until I met the DateTimePicker.
iOS: invisible buttons.
Android: different layout.
Me: 😵‍💫

Being a solo dev means I’m wearing all the hats — planner, tester, UX thinker, and coder. It’s overwhelming, but I love watching this app slowly come to life 🧡

I needed a baby recipe app that worked with my fridge, not against it.
So I’m building it.
One nap at a time. 🍼👩‍💻
