Tired of string-based keys and runtime errors with Firebase Remote Config? 😩

I just published the remote_config_gen package, that brings type safety to your remote configurations! 🔥

Check out the article and the package! 👇

It will never stop surprising me how an user can say that 4€ is a lot of money from a device that costs +500€ 😅

A coffee is more expensive nowadays!

After more than eight years, I had the chance to water ski again today!

I used to compete professionally throughout my youth, but once I started working, it wasn't possible to continue.

It was fun! 😊

POV: Your account's monthly interest gives more than your side project 😂

I'm not sure what to do with this feedback 😅

Also, what screen density is that screenshot??

Back to the Google office in Munich after 1.5 years. This time as a guest for a Flutter meetup!

How things change 😅

In my community WhatsApp group, someone threatened to keep the ball if kids continue playing football games in the yard (not allowed), and someone replied with the penal code 🤦‍♂️

This is the most German answer I could imagine..

My product comparison Spanish site clearly noticed the Spain total blackout 🫣

What is that for a request?

Over my dead body, I allow Jira to override "Do Not Disturb" and maximize notification volume. 😅

Oh wow... Already one year since I officially started pibi studio!

- 4 own published apps
- 1 starter-kit
- 10 projects for clients
- 20 mentoring sessions
- 135k unique visitors across all my sites

It has not been easy, but it's looking better and better! #buildinpublic

Yeah who pays for something nowadays?

Seriously it's 3$ one time... If you don't want to pay just don't use it.

I have a new hobby with my daughter. We create LEGO constructions and we use my Maika app to generate a book out of them. It's super fun 😊

An interesting fact about my AI comparison site:

From Sunday to Tuesday, users search for products more than on other days of the week. Fridays consistently see the lowest activity 🤔

My baby names app has been generating steady revenue for a few months, but it hasn’t grown much. It’s stuck in the ASO rankings, and I believe the main issue is the lack of ratings.

I spent an hour today copying an approach I observed elsewhere.

Will this work? Let’s see 😬

Love Jira? Who has ever said that 😅

TIL You can actually use the iOS simulator hardware buttons! 🤯

Pro tip for handling customer support emails:

After resolving the issue, encourage the customer to leave a review by providing them with this direct link to the review section 👇

I didn't know what to do, tbh. So I decided to not do anything and pray to the SEO gods 😅

After a few weeks, the prayers became reality, and my traffic recovered to the expected levels. Not only that, the traffic for the names part on the new domain is booming!

Have you ever done a site split migration?

Here is my story on how I migrated the names section of @ComparaCat into it's own domain and how it affected my SEO 👇

Today is a special day in my hometown. One of our traditions is to ascend and descend the main church stairs with the traditional Catalonian human tower 🫣
