Wannabe Indie Hacker. Building ✨ purgoapp.com and 📸 retakee.app

If I'm not hacking on something I'm daydreaming about Australia 🇦🇺 or reading Harry Potter ⚡️
My first year is behind me. Let's hope the next one will be slightly better 😄 🚀

Whaaat, purgoapp.com is now #4 in Hong Kong in the utilities category, right after the Google app 🤯

Most likely won't be there for long, but I'm framing this screenshot haha 🥳

A new exciting milestone 🥁

Users have collectively freed up over 2TB of storage with the help of purgoapp.com! 🎉

This is amazing! purgoapp.com is slowly starting to get a bit of traction, and it is so cool to see people cleaning up their galleries almost every day now 🧼

But what really made my day was this comment on my latest Reddit post. It means the world to me! 🚀

Found a weird bug in TipKit in iOS 18.4. In a specific case, when using a popoverTip inside a modal view, the background can disappear.

My promo for Purgo is almost at its end. Some stats so far:

⬇️ ~3k have downloaded the app
✅ Out of these ~28% made at least one review
🗑️ Out of those who have reviewed ~64% actually emptied the trash
⭐️ Out of those who should have seen the rating popup (upon emptying the trash) ~2% left a rating

Well, this is new to me, but I love it 😄 A lot of people are trying Purgo out and I'm getting some great feedback. It feels great to have some actionable steps, rather than just building things out into the void which I am guessing someone might enjoy.

Thanks, Xcode, that's exactly what I had in mind!

If you have tons of photos taking up your storage space, give purgoapp.com a shot. Now with similar photos detection ✨

I made a couple of promo codes, and I’d be super grateful for some feedback. DM me if you are interested and I'll send over the code.

Thanks 🙌🏼

What the heck, that was super fast 🚀

Approved ✅

This was fast 🧐

When I was thinking of other ways to market purgoapp.com, I thought of a fun experiment: coasters! I am so focused on the digital world that I almost forgot about the real world and the culture I grew up in. And Czechs like their beer.

Another project I managed to find!

A wireless 🛜 "car" 🚗 controlled via a gamepad 🎮 from 2016.

This was one of my first "larger" hardware projects, where I even made my first custom PCB. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a better video, but hopefully, this one will do 😄

Dang it 😄

I'm actively trying to find all projects I made over the years and I'm super happy with this find 🥁

🐍 Snake in the Windows console back in 2013

It flickers like crazy, you can eat yourself by pressing an arrow in the opposite direction and who knows what else, but I like it anyway 😄 #buildinpublic

What a launch for purgoapp.com on Uneed! Super grateful and thanks to anyone who found Purgo interesting enough to give it a vote.

But even with the launch behind me, if you would decide to give Purgo a go, I'd be super glad for any feedback you might have!

Now, back to work 🔧

purgoapp.com is on Uneed today. I made a promo code for the launch so you can try everything Purgo has to offer. Or just clean up a bit of space on your phone 📱

I would be super grateful for any feedback you might have :)

Thanks 🙌

New version of purgoapp.com is live with a couple of improvements and bug fixes. A nice one from the UX point of view is the new video controls that mimic the iOS 18 look, making users feel more familiar with the interface.

Yesterday, purgoapp.com crossed 200 GB of deleted photos. Baby steps 🙌

A new country with a rating for purgoapp.com 🎉 Thank you, my anonymous Australian friend 😄
February 27, 2025 at 11:01 AM
I made a display that shows stats from purgoapp.com to keep me motivated 🚀

In the latest version of purgoapp.com, I've added a shareable image to display how much storage you've freed up with Purgo.

I have some fun plans for this feature, but that'll take a bit of time and is not a priority atm. So let's consider this a V1 😄

Oh, wow. I've read that ratings are crucial for ASO, and it's impressive that even one review in a new market can make a huge difference. Unfortunately, this isn't the main market I'd like to target. Still, it's nice to see it in action 🚀
