This month‘s challenge? Save this plant! She‘s doing better already - her leaves are slowly coming up again 🥰

Everyone‘s at the lake today. Not me. I keep pushing for my success 💪🏼

Day 1 of my 50-day challenge 🚀 I’m building a space-themed focus timer app. Every day. After my full-time job. And I’m gonna launch it live at Shipaton. I’ll post daily updates until launch: the wins, the fails, and everything in between. Do you think I’ll make it?

Day 2 of my 50-day challenge 🚀 I’m building a space-themed focus timer app. Every day. After my full-time job. And I’m gonna launch it live at Shipaton. I’ll post daily updates until launch: the wins, the fails, and everything in between. Do you think I’ll make it?

Implementing animations is art. And time wasting 😂

Deep AI integration is changing how we design. Complex, cluttered UIs are becoming obsolete. The future is simple, conversational, and adaptive. What do you think?

Day 3 of my 50-day challenge 🚀 I’m building a space-themed focus timer app. Every day. After my full-time job. And I’m gonna launch it live at Shipaton. I’ll post daily updates until launch: the wins, the fails, and everything in between. Any wishes? :)

Today, I got my first subscriber and comment on YouTube while sharing my app-building journey in public. Such a huge milestone for me 🥹

Day 4 of my 50-day challenge 🚀 I’m building a space-themed focus timer app. Every day. After my full-time job. And I’m gonna launch it live at Shipaton. I’ll post daily updates until launch: the wins, the fails, and everything in between. What do you think? :)

Day 5 of my 50-day challenge 🚀 I’m building a space-themed focus timer app. Every day. After my full-time job. And I’m gonna launch it live at Shipaton. I’ll post daily updates until launch: the wins, the fails, and everything in between. Will I beat my perfectionism?

Building an app after a full-time job is already hard. Filming, editing, and posting a video about it every single day? That’s another level. But this is the challenge I signed up for. A space-themed focus timer app. 50 days. Will I make it before the clock runs out?

I just have to remind me that it’s supposed to be hard. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.

Every time I think it’s simple to implement. Then it gets complicated again... Spent 5 hours today just trying to keep Flutter engines in sync without crashing. Still hacking, still learning, every day.

Another day, another #buildinpublic video :)

I pushed myself too hard the last days and had to hit the emergency brake. How do you avoid burning out?

Fall. And get up again. You got this 💪🏼

I failed to work on my side project every day. I failed to post a short about it every day. But I learned something more important: compromising on my health is never worth it. Now I just work on it when I have the time and the energy. And the results are so much better.

I tried daily shorts, and it burned me out. Now, I'm focusing on shipping the app first. Today, I integrated real-time synchronization across devices for my space-themed focus timer 😍 Feels good to make progress. 37 days left until launch 🚀

The last few weeks have been completely life-changing. I moved out of my apartment, relocated permanently to Asia, and finally got my priorities straight.

Hi, I’m René. I left Germany to build apps while traveling across Asia. Right now, I’m building cashpense.app: a simple, beautiful way to track cash spending across currencies and countries. Feedback welcome :) It's completely free!
