Sending files between my phone and laptop was bit of a pain. So I built a little web app that lets me just yeet text/urls/files etc between them. Would this be useful for anyone else?

WeUseElixir Find apps, libraries and companies that use Elixir #ElixirLang weuseelixir.com

Oh, yknow, just vibe coding a full-stack-typed #React SPA with #AshFramework, #ElixirLang, #Phoenix using #Tidewave. No biggie.

One command now gets you a React SPA with full-stack types, backed by #AshFramework, #Phoenix, and #ElixirLang 🤯 Install and visit localhost:4000/ash-typescript for a handy guide 😎 Finally, a bridge to the reliability + elegance of Elixir for our React-loving friends!

Noora for Phoenix apps keeps getting better and better. You can make your #Elixir apps look great with a design system that builds on LiveView and vanilla CSS github.com/tuist/Noora/...

Emotionally preparing myself for the #Shipaton...

What are folks building for #shipaton? Keen to see what y'all are up to!

Why did the React Native developer cross the road? To prove they could run on both sides!

Current state of my latest app: ReadyFreddy.dev

PMF is when: ✅ Customers love it ✅ Users pay for it ✅ Your mum says “That's nice, dear.”

Ready Freddy is pretty much built...at least far-enough to get some early testers. Next job: find users! How do I do that? 😅

The quality of the dictation from Wispr Flow is amazing. I'm loathed to type anything anymore. And the fact that it learns your vocab is delightful 👌🏻

Trialing TaskMaster AI alongside Claude Code. I'm not sure it offers a huge amount of value over Plan mode, but we'll find out soon enough...

What are y'all using to deploy your Elixir/Phoenix apps? I really don't want to deal with DevOps, just focus on building.

Yesterday's task was to polish Ready Freddy's UI to capture the brand and have a consistent look across the whole app - it's looking amazing and so happy with how it's coming together! I'll share some screenshots soon 👀 🔜

When did web apps stop using Gravatar for profile pictures? Seems like such a user-friendly way to handle it, and it means you don't need to handle file upload, storage, etc. Am I missing something?

I've named the new on-call tool that I've been building... Meet: Ready Freddy! 👋 Because when alerts hit at 3am, you want something that's always ready to respond (and a bit of friendliness doesn't hurt either)

Right, you can now create basic schedules and associate them with services. The most basic version of the app is now ready and working! Time to deploy it!

Would you expect to have access to multiple organisations in your on-call scheduling & alerting tool? Are there cases where you'd be part of "on call" schedules for multiple orgs?

Billing is set up with LemonSqueezy! There's still a bit of work to do to polish it up a bit, but the basics are all in place and working, which is really exciting. Now time to move onto team management - letting users create organisations, and then invite people to them.

OK, so now I'm not sure whether I should be using Stripe or LemonSqueezy - sounds like Merchant on Record could be really useful. Having a look into @peterullrich.com's lemon_ex library for this.

Starting to integrate billing now - very exciting moment. First time that I've actually built billing into a web app. Now I get to learn about all the pain of Stripe that I've heard about.

First version of the OnCall scheduling supports weekly schedules, and uses rudimentary calculations to figure out which person on the schedule is on duty "now". What options do you expect from on call scheduling?

There’s something magical about writing code and seeing something happen as a result of it. Reminds me of the joy of building software.

My OnCall app can now send SMS messages when receiving incoming web hook! And users can add (and verify) their phone numbers as well. Super impressed with Claude Code's ability to write and debug Elixir. But gotta give props to Phoenix for a great DevEx & wonderful error messages - makes it easy!

Twilio verification has come through, so I’ll soon be able to test the SMS alerting. Also realised that I should probably verify user’s phone numbers before sending them alerts, so setting that up right now.

Wowza, Oban made setting up an alerting system off the back of a webhook SUPER easy - go Oban and Phoenix/Elixir ecosystem! I mean, it's not sending alerts yet, but the wiring to go from inbound API request -> queued task was SO easy.

Plan for the on call alerting app is to receive a webhook and then send escalating alerts. Would be email initially, graduating to SMS and ultimately a phone call.

I'm building a simple on-call tool because per-seat pricing is bonkers for small teams. Decided to use Elixir, Phoenix & LiveView again - it should be well-suited to this type of app. This time with Claude Code. Should be fun!

Any iOS devs that have moved into full stack? I’m trying to figure out what stack would be good to learn and make most sense to my mobile/Swift brain.

SaaS stack: Next.js + React.js? Or Laravel? Anyone building with Laravel?

What do y'all use for on-call scheduling and alerting?

“Last” update to my app Huck. Parking this for a while as I move onto other projects. It’s still available on the App Store though - give it a try! bit.ly/gethuck

I don't know why I got up at 4am for that race when there was an 8am replay...but it was great! All part of the fun!

I built and shipped an app to the Apple App Store in just a couple days using AI. It’s amazing that simple, tightly-scoped apps are becoming so accessible.

What are indie #iOS devs using for sending push notifications to users? Just want a web interface where I can send a basic push to users. Maybe let them view it in an "inbox" -simple "in-app messaging" Everything out there seems super over-the-top. #IndieDev #IndieiOS #BuildInPublic

Bigmode game jam submission window is done! now a week of rating games. This was my first game jam, it was so much fun! i worked probably a little too hard on this, but i really enjoyed the process. Check out my game, Waterworks! arussellsaw.itch.io/waterworks #gamedev #bigmode

Order a Mac Mini (very excited) and just realised I'm going to need a mouse 🤔

After 480 days of working on the first side project that ever saw the light of day, we've decided to put the project into maintenance mode. 😢 I've loved this project, it's brought so many thrills and so much learning, but it's time to say "see you later".

Stats are in, and they show that: - stats are awesome - counting things is fun! Spent the last two mornings building out some stats views for The Tally App. Here's what they look like; let me know what you like and what you'd change! #IndieDev #BuildInPublic #iOS #Productivity

Getting close to having a TestFlight build of The Tally App ready for the world. If you'd be keen to give a try, please sign up to my mailing list (🧵) to get early access. #IndieDev #BuildInPublic Please share this with someone it would help.

New empty state for the Tally app that teaches the user that cards with this styling are tappable. Thanks for the inspiration and feedback, @mikevelu.bsky.social 🙏🏻 These are the fruits of #BuildingInPublic 💪🏻

Hey @chriswu.com! 👋🏻 Wanted to check whether you ever finished your Emoji picker, and if you made it available as a library on Github by any chance?

I'm continuing with my #IndieDev work on the Tally app, and in the spirit of #BuildInPublic, here's what I've been up to! 🧵 1. adding haptics when incrementing a tally

@jonfry.bsky.social The Lofree Flow Lite keyboard arrived...it is AMAZING. Sounds and feels SO go, I'm so pleased with it!

Made a super-quick App Icon for the Tally/Counter app that I’m working on. I think it’s kinda cute. ☺️ #IndieDev #BuildInPublic

Got the Widget working nicely for Tally. Power couple days of 💪🏻 What do you want to count?

Really wishing I'd gotten more memory than the standard 8GB MacBook Air. Won't make that mistake in future - definitely getting (much) more memory next time I get a new Mac.

Adding Widgets to Apple-system apps, and getting certificates and signing etc working when using @tuist.dev is turning out to be a bit of a pain. Xcode's UI & Apple's automatic signing makes the requirements so opaque and tough to figure out.

Started a new lil app yesterday that I’ve called Tally. It’s for counting things, it’s super simple and it’s certainly not unique. But it’ll be quick and fun to build and let me use Widgets, maybe a Watch app & complications etc. Will share some screenshots in time. #IndieDev #BuildInPublic
