Higgsfield gave me a $100,000 bill but I'm still not charging you ๐ค
A hackathon where devs and vibe coders build a real product, not just a business.
It starts soon, and you'll have 7 days to build an app and impress the judges. The prizes are still TBD
This is not a joke. The winner will get something.
To win, you must:
1. Start a completely new product
2. Build said product (SaaS, directory, etc.)
3. Receive the most votes (not profit)
You can already register at $0. When the hackathon starts soon, you can still join for $0.00
I'm running this with my dear friend @DrewWakefield5 and we'll manually review each potential winner to make sure everything holds up.
See you SOON, builders ๐ดโโ ๏ธ๐ซก

Started making a Mac app to show nice stats around your WiFi connection ๐ถ
There'll be signal strength graphs, download speed records, a speed test, different themes, sharable cards, and I'm just getting started ๐ฅ
Who's interested ๐

Did anyone play that game 'Uplink' back in the day? 'Hacknet', too. Simulation games where you're a hacker breaking into systems using terminals ๐จโ๐ป
I wonder how far the current generation of vibe coders would get in that ๐

Revisited one of my older Android apps 'explAIn' with some new features ๐
The premise: Have anything explained to you in one of four complexity levels ๐ถ๐ฆ๐จ๐จโ๐
๐ธ Added camera support. Take a photo and have it identified and explained!
๐ฆ Get help with explaining something to a child
๐ Take a deeper dive into your topic
๐ผ๏ธ Exportable share cards with part of your topic's explanation
๐ฆ Complex words are highlighted and you can tap them for a separate definition
Never stop learning ๐
Hey all - I've shipped v1.1.0 to my app 'explAIn - Understand Anything'. It's the "explain like I'm 5" concept, but with 4 different complexity levels ๐ง
I've added suggested topics, TTS, optional notifications to explore, and more!
Would be grateful if you could give it a whirl or share with others ๐

Morning tech team ๐
I'm having one of those days where I have too many things I want to work on!
Would you go for the quick wins or lock in on the larger pieces?
Morning tech team!โ๏ธ
I just found out that two of my Android apps had made a few sales in the last 2 months, and I had absolutely no idea because RevenueCat notifications were off!๐คฆ
Very nice surprise though!๐I haven't worked on either in a few months, I should revisit them.

Did you know AWNA: A Wee Notch App can take scrolling screenshots of long pages?
It can also capture any text using OCR,
pick a colour from any pixel on-screen,
let you quickly check your camera before a call,
and more!
And this is just 1 tab out of 10!

Morning tech team!
Hope you're all doing well. Sorry for not posting more recently! Life's pretty hectic ๐ตโ๐ซ
AWNA for Mac has some awesome people testing it out, thank you for the feedback so far! ๐
Got an exciting feature for Scootch cooking up too, more on that soon! ๐ฅ
I need to pick up my marketing game. Seeing positive growth in Search Console, so need to keep working on that too ๐
What are you up to today?

Anyone interested in being a tester for AWNA's Mac edition?
There's a lot of notch apps out there these days, so help me make AWNA one of the best! ๐
Windows users have described it as "worth every penny", and "the best one of its kind out there" ๐ฅ

When I first started making AWNA, I had bought the domain with "A Windows Notch App" as the name in my head.
The idea of Microsoft's lawyers crashing through my window didn't really appeal to me though.
So, I renamed it to "A Wee Notch App".
I'm glad I did, because the Mac version of AWNA is nearly ready!
Along the way I've had different people ask when it would come out for Mac. I hope those people are still out there ๐
It'll come with as close to complete feature parity as possible with the Windows AWNA. There's a shared codebase between them now so I should be able to keep both in sync with new features and fixes.

@luke_o bought Scootch during the beta period and I am genuinely so delighted at the positive experience he's continued to have with it.
He's helped a ton with testing and feedback along the way as well. I'm very grateful to you!
But yeah, you heard the man, go buy Scootch ๐
Today's the last day of Scootch's 25%-off deal!
Run, don't walk ๐
The offer's available to users of @Buildhop_io, MacPip (@JustinasRoland0), and MacBase (@attacomsian), and those that were on the initial waitlist email ๐ฅ
If you're signed up to @Buildhop_io, check out their Deals page for a sneaky 25% off the Scootch licence, available until Nov 5th!
If you tried the trial and liked it, take advantage of the offer before it's gone!โ๏ธ
Check it out plus the other deals at:
buildhop.io/app/deals
Masterful use of MetricShots here from @DrewWakefield5 ๐
Congrats on the DR leap!
0 to 15 DR in just 5 days! ๐คฏ
All from spending hours manually submitting More Magpie to directories.
Still got some of the bigger ones launching throughout November too!
Anyone else had this kind of jump? Curious how high I can get it without spending a penny ๐

This comes from user feedback and requests. Thank you ๐ซถ
What's new:
๐๏ธ The 'Today' tab now shows a calendar if there are no upcoming events

๐ System stats like CPU/RAM/GPU display on the resting notch

Thank you to the latest amazing person who bought a copy of AWNA! ๐
You never left an email in your feedback so I couldn't reply to you directly,
and I don't know if you're here on X,
but yes! ๐
I started the groundwork for localisation a while ago, so hopefully soon ๐ฎ๐น๐ซถ

Morning tech team! โ
Yesterday was a good day - released Scootch v1.4, been working on the next AWNA release, and had another Scootch sale to boot too โบ๏ธ๐ซถ
Today will be a bit slower as I'm in the office all day, but rest assured I'll be cheering you on ๐ช
Have a good one!
Morning tech team! โ๏ธ
Roll them sleeves up, it's a new week ๐ฅ
What are you focusing on today?
I've got a small addition for MetricShots,
testing the next Scootch release,
and some feedback for AWNA on the agenda!
... oh yeah. And the 9-5. ๐
Have a great day ๐
