🧩 Building a $10Kpm AI Consumer app
I started my build in public journey 17 days ago… Before that, I’d start projects and businesses but most of the time I’d half‑ass it. No accountability. Just me, working whenever I felt like it. I didn’t do it for followers. Didn’t do it for traction (my acquisition channels…
DAY 26 of building a $10Kpm AI app 🧐 Took a step back today to rethink the core features. I realized they were misaligned from the start, so I’m reassessing everything to make sure it actually fits the vision. I’m exploring adding a social layer to the app still in research…
Day 25 of building a $10K/mo AI app So Macro has the notorious scanning feature where you scan meals and get macros etc. ✅ Just fixed the scanning feature barcodes weren’t being picked up before . ⚙️ Switched to a more efficient model & spent some time testing across different…
DAY 24 of building a $10K AI app 😷 Drained by my 9–5 again. Couldn’t do much today. Felt a bit sick too, so I just focused on some minor design tweaks here and there. Other than that, not much progress. But that’s part of the journey, we’ll get back stronger
🛠 Day 23 of building a 10K AI app Crafted a map feature that helps users find nearby diet-friendly spots to eat. 🗺️🥗 Did some research on the Foursquare Places API, didn’t know you actually have to apply to get access. For now, I’ll switch to the Google Places API so I can…
Want to get better at design? Build mobile apps 📱 Mobile design forces your creativity to explode. I’ve been make web apps for the last 6 years At first, I thought: “It’s just a smaller screen, right?” The bar is so much higher: •Users expect flawless UX •Smooth…
🛠 Day 22 of building Macro : an AI nutrition coach Switched to Gemini 1.5 instead of 2.5 - it’s cheaper and still solid for food & ingredient scanning. Also fixed some bugs that were completely crashing the app.
Interesting
🚨 Heads-up, iOS devs: Apple just introduced the Retention Messaging API. It lets developers decide what shows up on the native “Confirm Cancellation” sheet. You can add custom copy, and more! Let's explore 👇
🛠 Day 21 of building my $10K/mo AI app Claude’s code has been tweaking lately. I saw people talking about this before and didn’t really believe it, until it actually happened. It feels like it genuinely got dumber overnight. Been stuck fighting the same bug for two days…
🛠 Day 20 of building a $10K/mo AI app User flow got complicated today. Spent the whole day crafting new pages & fixing edge-case bugs. MVP should be ready for testing by next week. I know these updates probably don’t teach much right now (like I said last week, I’m mostly…
🛠 Day 19 of building my $10K/mo AI app MVP is closer than ever. ✅ Fixed bugs ✅ AI integration fully functional Just 2 more core features left. Weekends are my favorite days of the week It’s when I get to do what I love most: building.
✅ Yesterday was day 18 of building my $10K/mo AI app Guess what i did? Touched grass. 🌿 And took time to research & break down some product design difficulties I’ve been stuck on. Because you’re a founder, not just a dev. It’s not always about pushing commits. Sometimes…
Idk if just me but prompting AI to code for you takes more mental power than actually coding the thing yourself.
Day 18 of building my $10K/mo AI app 🛠️ Today I touched some grass 🌿
You wait for weekends to have fun. I wait for weekends to build. We’re not the same.
🛠 Day 17 of building my $10K/mo AI app Today was a big pivot. Last night, while half asleep, I had this thought: “Would I really want to log every single thing I buy, every ingredient, every meal… every day?” Probably not. So I put myself in the user’s shoes and realized:…
