ShipWithRathor⚡️

If its free I'll post bro

I lost 60% of my visitors in the first 5 seconds and I spent 3 months blaming the algorithm

Then someone screen recorded themselves visiting xlsheetai.com and I watched them leave in 8

#buildinpublic #indiedev #productdesign #solofounder #startupindia

Most devs build web
Most devs build app

Almost nobody builds both cleanly

Day 279. Still figuring it out. Still shipping

Here's the problem I was staring at today:

XLSheetAI runs on React web and Flutter mobile
Both
#xlsheetai #indiedeveloper #flutterdeveloper #saasbuilder #buildinpublic

My usual daily habit ti refresh this page everyday every hour to see the change

Yes it should be very basic flow

Day 278 building mobile business, found a cofounder for Fitess fitness app
#fitness #cofounder #startup

Day 277 Share hidden message to your crush on tomylov.in
#crush #love #secretmessage

Github Copilot free and Claude Sonnet 4.6 level models without paying a rupee

Most developers are still paying for tools that are now available for free if you know where to look

The AI coding stack just got cheaper and faster

Day 276 Building a great app and getting users to find it are 2 completely different skills and most developers only learn one

I spent 200 days building before I understood that distribution is not optional
#buildinpublic #indiedev #appmarketing #solofounder #startupindia

Pat Walls built Starter Story to $1.1 million in revenue by doing 1 boring thing every single day

He just showed up and published consistently while everyone else was waiting to feel ready

No viral moment no funding
#buildinpublic #indiefounder #solofounder #startupindia #indiedev

Nobody knew. Nothing happened. You just stopped

So I built something different into HabiTide

You can't mark a habit complete by tapping a button anymore

You have to snap a photo. That photo becomes a story visible only to the friends you've added in the app. It disappears after 24 hours

Habit apps never worked for me. So I added a feature that makes lying to yourself impossible

I've downloaded probably 15 habit tracker apps in my life

I'd stay consistent for 3 days. Then miss one. Then quietly stop opening the app

that satisfying bounce when you check a habit ✅

too bouncy = annoying
too subtle = useless

took 3 tries to land it right.

this is Habitide on launch day, what do you feel? 👇

When people say invest in crypto i show them my portfolio haha
War time, i hope only some miracle can turn this around
#crypto #loss #learnings

Day 276 You do not have a discipline problem you have a system problem

87% of people who quit a new habit do it before day 10 and it has nothing to do with motivation

The habit dies because the environment never

Ai is taking everything we built in past years vs

Great day successfully submitted latest update for habitide
- snap to complete habits
- which friends can see for 24hrs only
- Radar to see your progress
- Sign in with Apple/Google added

at 2:20 AM

So if you said you'd go to the gym today, you better show up. Because your friends will see it. Or won't
No photo = no completion

It sounds strict. But that's the whole point. Habit apps fail because there's zero real-world cost to lying to yourself. This adds a tiny social pressure that actually

I'm adding a feature that forces a different kind of accountability

Here's how it works:
You can't mark a habit complete just by tapping a button anymore

You have to snap a photo
That photo becomes a story - visible to your friends inside the app

Spent 3 hours on iOS sign-in today. Still broken. But here's why this feature matters more than I expected

Android sign-in: done and published
iOS sign-in: still fighting me at 11:30pm

This is HabiTide my habit tracking app, 3000+ users, built solo

Copying your competitor is the slowest way to build a business and most indie devs do it without realising

When you compete you are playing their game on their terms with their head start

The founders who win long term

Day 274 : Full time job in the day 30 apps built at night and I have not burned out yet

The secret is not discipline it is tiny non negotiable sessions

90 minutes after 9 to 5 with a clear task already decided the night before

Day 274 : The smartest developers I know are also the slowest shippers and that is not a coincidence

Over engineering is the trap intelligence sets for itself

Elon calls it the idiot index knowing when complexity is just

When you got love from the users from far away but still feel connected ( That's why i started indie dev journey)

So i am doing the reverse gender dp of myself lets see if thats bring some exciting engagement haha

The reason your startup ideas keep failing

It’s not because you’re bad
It’s because you’re building in isolation

I used to sit for hours
perfecting features
no users
no feedback

Shipping feels productive
but validation pays

Talk to people first
charge early
build smaller

Nobody is qualified to build their first product and that is exactly why you should start now

I shipped 30 apps without a business degree a mentor or a funded team

Imposter syndrome is just your brain pretending experience is a prerequisite for execution

It is not

3 products 28 days and $200 in revenue while working a full time job

Not life changing money yet but it is real and it is mine

xlsheetai habitide and garoono all generating together

The goal was never to go viral it was to build something that pays me back quietly

#buildinpublic #indiedev

Day 272 of building in public

Just hit $198 in revenue 🚀 in 28 days

New trial converted today - that feeling when someone sees enough value to pay never gets old

Trial → paid conversion is the real validation

Still so much to learn but loving this journey

Bad onboarding kills good products and I was guilty of it too

Just rebuilt the entire first experience on XLSheetAI from scratch because 7 out of 10 new users were dropping before they even tried the core feature
