Bsky is a little wonky right now heh But... My post on r/macapps about AirSpace is going well! Join in on the fun :3 ~ Hazel <3 www.reddit.com/r/macapps/s/... #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SoloDev #Indie #AppDev #macOSDev #Design #UI

Just made the promo video for AirSpace! It's my first time editing a video and it's evidently... amateur, but I think that's what makes it cute! 😊💖 #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SoloDev #Indie #AppDev #macOSDev #Design #UI

@thisisdonebyhumans.bsky.social Thank you so much! Yippee! #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SoloDev #Indie #AppDev #macOSDev #Design #UI

Hello my cutie-pies!! >///< AirSpace is now available for purchase! Please check it out and grab it if you can, thank you!! P.S. A free trial version is coming soon :D ~ Hazel :3 apps.apple.com/us/app/airsp... #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SoloDev #Indie #AppDev #macOSDev #Design #UI

Fellow photographers, artists, creators, writers and everyone providing services, do you think this is needed: www.thisisdonebyhumans.org ? I personally think it's a good idea, not to fight AI but to clearly label, same as we do with composition on clothes or ingredients on food

I’m building a new app, Tapestry! I know I just finished 2 in the last 10 days but I don’t know what to do with my hands 😭 Airspace started last August, so I guess the longer it simmers, the better it cooks! Pinkmaxxing time! #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SoloDev #Indie #AppDev #iOSDev #Design #UI

A small demo on how AirSpace works. Requires a little bit of a setup but once you get going, it's all smooth sailing! Forgive the janky video, recorded this while sleepy lol #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SoloDev #Indie #AppDev #macOSDev #Design #UI

You can now customize the text style and color in AirSpace! (This was so hard to code TwT, ohh AppKit my difficult darling) #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SoloDev #Indie #AppDev #macOSDev #Design #UI

Right, getting back to what I was making before I got distracted by Stargaze, I was building AirSpace! It's a menu bar app that lets you give spaces custom names, see them change as you move spaces, and teleport to spaces! #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SoloDev #Indie #AppDev #macOSDev #Design #UI

Stargaze v1.1 is in the review queue! It now has biometric verification to protect your journal data, and you can now set a start date for each habit! This dims the stars before the start date :3 Hope it passes review soon! #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SoloDev #Indie #AppDev #iOSDev #Design #UI

And this is coming from someone whose entire personality in middle school was based on those books.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to mention that Stargaze has custom LGBTQ themed icons! Available right now as a feature of Stargaze Plus!! Hope you find them cute :] ~ Hazel <3 #LGBT #LGBTQ #Queer #Gay #Lesbian #Trans #Bisexual #Pride #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SoloDev #Indie #AppDev #iOSDev #Design #UI

I feel like I do this everyday, sorry 😅 But my post on r/Apple is going great!! Join in on the fun :> hehehe Hazel www.reddit.com/r/apple/s/Yi... #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SoloDev #Indie #AppDev #iOSDev #Design #UI

Stargaze is launching on ProductHunt right now!!! Please consider supporting the post 😄 Thank you!!!!!!! >///< www.producthunt.com/products/sta... #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SoloDev #Indie #AppDev #iOSDev #Design #UI

My post about Stargaze is gaining traction on r/iOSProgramming! Join in on the fun >:) Love, Hazel www.reddit.com/r/iOSProgram... #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SoloDev #Indie #AppDev #iOSDev #Design #UI

We did it!!!!! Woooooooooooo 💖🎊🎉🥳 4th time was the charm!!! Take a looksies, thank you 😌

When life gives you lemons, make neon yellow gatorade After 2 different App Store rejections, I have added a cutesy journal feature! (Please please please accept my app I'm sorry for not buying the latest iPhone, Apple 🥺) #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SoloDev #Indie #AppDev #iOSDev #Design #UI

It'd be a shame to have a tip-jar for Stargaze and not make it star themed 🤭✨ So that's exactly what I did hehe Little nerdy, and a little silly :3 #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SoloDev #Indie #AppDev #iOSDev #Design #UI

" For programming, it's fine. All software developers in 2026 use AI tools to assist with development (Claude Code, Cursor, etc)." I will fight you in the street, random IGN commenter.

There’s a lot that President Trump can do to Make America Great Again! Dying, for example.

Coding at 3am is definitely not the most optimal thing I’ve done in my life 🫩 StoreKit 2 arghhhhhh Stargaze is almost complete and I’m getting giddy!!!! >///< #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SoloDev #Indie #AppDev #iOSDev #Design #UI

Accessibility is so important, and Stargaze's onboarding has a new first page! I'm tempted to design it after the PlayStation boot screen epilepsy warning, but that might scare away the users 😅 Regular design it is :3 #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SoloDev #Indie #AppDev #iOSDev #Design #UI

Just finished the onboarding for my (completely human-written and made) app Stargaze!!! Yippeeeeee >///< Hope the disco lighting in the background isn't too distracting! #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SoloDev #Indie #AppDev #iOSDev #Dev #UI #Design

Sometimes the most powerful support is the simplest: cash assistance when someone needs it most. Our microgrant program helps trans people cover food, rent, healthcare, and other basic necessities. Want to help fund the next round? 📱 Text MICROGRANT to 44321

My parents room vs. my girl cave. Quite a difference haha #SliceOfLife #Photography #DailyLiving #IShouldTouchGrass

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count... PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY! I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix. Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

We are at war because Trump is a pedophile and Republicans don’t mind he’s a pedophile.

Same reason you always hear about "men in girl's sports" from the same people who wouldn't watch women's sports if you put a gun to their head. It isn't about equality, it's about using people they hate to bludgeon people they hate even more.

Who knew a silly cute daily tracker filled with smol sparkly stars would require several thousand (non-ai hazel-made :3) lines of code? 😅 2 months of 8 hour days 🥺 I hope this little birdie flies when I launch her! Or maybe I'll get 5 users #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SoloDev #Indie #AppDev #iOSDev

Arrest the goddamn president

States are pulling stunts like Kansas. We’re trying to raise $6,000 so 30 trans folks can afford basic necessities. If 1,200 people give $5, we hit our goal. Community > cruelty. #ProtectTransLives #DirectAid

I am very excited to announce that our Community Researcher Report for Trans Aware Cancer Care is now published! We ask that you read this report with an open mind and an open heart. "Simplifying people into data is useful, but we are all still people." 🌈🎓 involvingpeople.org/wp-content/u...

Warm inside, cool outside Just how I like it <3 🏮🌌 #Photography #PhotographersOnBluesky #WarmLights

As boards of peace go, this one's got off to a poor start.

being trans online is like [posts a silly joke] [sees news abt government trying to exterminate us] [like funny post by trans friend] [more news about gov wanting us dead] [repost funny joke] [trans friend shares horrible news about insurance issues/sexual violence/abusive family] [sees funny post]

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. GO DONATE. tcpipeline.org

"We do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they were going to be easy" Huzzah! I finally finished the star sparkle animation on Stargaze. Still no AI code 😌💖. This was so much harder than I thought with the grid being a SwiftUI canvas! #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SoloDev

Hazel's Garden as I've imagined it in my dreams is now live at hazels.garden! I'm so happy and proud >///< Had to dust off my webdev knowledge and learn Sveltekit for this lol Let me know if you find any bugs or quirks on the website! #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SoloDev #Indie #AppDev #WebDev

Selling my music visualizer for $2.99 in ‘26 Like tryna flip an 1/8 for $5 in ‘08 But I can only catch sales By screaming Into a tin can Like a psychopath 🥫 soundsafari.io #GameDev #DSP #AudioVisual #Music

A cute pixel art animation I made in Aseprite! #art #artist #digitalart #pixelart #animation

Not your Dad's music equalizer 🧮 #GameDev #DSP #AudioVisual #Music One of many new visuals that's a WIP for the next app update. Everybody deserves easy access to dope audio visuals.

So NJ lawmakers wrote a bill to rein in ICE. And this is what they called it. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/n...

Been working on a new app to inaugurate my indie app studio! It'll be an app that lets you visualize the year as tiny stars that sparkle and shine periodically or when you fill them in :) Both the app and the site (WIP!) are made with 0 AI code or art. Launching soon! With love, Hazel <3

imo movies are the literal worst activity you can do with a group of people. Staring at a screen for 2 hours while not saying a single word is the definition of a solo activity. Go to your local park or a restaurant instead. Wayyyy more fun
