This one's a little harder to share. I love building, more than is healthy, and I learnt that the hard way. I've lost a lot of myself in the process, and I'm slowly finding my way back. I wanted to share that part of my journey too, not just the wins.

I Loved Building So Much, I Forgot to Stop.

Four months of late nights, eighteen-hour weekends, and learning the hard way that loving your work doesn't mean giving it everything. For four months, I worked every single day. Not just the 9 to 5.

This article by @tyd3n_ is definitely worth a read if you’re going through the App Store Connect process right now. Thanks for sharing this Darius, I think this could help a lot of people with a task that can be daunting for so many of us.
Your app won't magically get downloads just because you published it. So I put together the ultimate ASO guide with everything I've learned so far. Hope it helps some indie devs out there. Check it out 👇
Article

The Ultimate Guide to ASO (App Store Optimization).

I know, you built your app, you're excited about it, and you're probably thinking: "Yo, this app is going to make me a millionaire." I know because I've been there too. And I still am, don't get me

Morning Tech-Family ☕️ I'm home 🌸 Surgery's done and I'm back in my own space, slowly and very carefully. Thank you so much for all the kind messages and good vibes. I felt every one of them. Things will be a little quiet round here for a while as I rest and heal. Building will wait. Getting better comes first. So happy to be back with you all, I’ve missed you guys 💜

Just a little update from me. My operation went well! I’ve only just got my belongings back, so I’m finally able to post again. A couple of scheduled posts have kept things ticking over today, but hopefully things will start feeling a little more normal again soon. Thank you for all the lovely messages Tech-Family. 💜

GM Tech-Family. Happy Friday! This is a scheduled post so the algorithm doesn’t forget about me whilst I’m in surgery today. I’ll be back online hopefully all being well later today. Whatever you’re doing today, just know you’re doing amazing and I’m proud of you. Love you all, Em 💜💜

When your coding agent picks the tools for your build, how do you know it’s picked the best ones? Mine can explain why its suggestion works. What I struggle to judge is whether there’s a better way it hasn’t considered. Especially when I don’t know enough to challenge it. That’s a big part of why I’m building More Magpie. The waitlist’s now live. moremagpie.com/

Good morning Tech-Family, happy Thursday ☕️ Not every win gets seen. 🔘Getting up on a hard morning.
🔘Saying no to something that was too much.
🔘Being a little more patient with yourself. Nobody claps for those. 
They still count 🌸 What quiet thing are you proud of this week? 💜

Today I turn 39 🎂 and I was given the sweetest gift. Meet Lumen, my new AI video director 🎬 Lumen took my whole journey, from my very first app to 4,000+ of you, and turned it into a little cozy village. Every app is a building. Every lantern is one of you. 🏮 Thank you for making this little corner of the internet feel like home, Tech-Family 💜 Which building would you move into first? ☕️

This is so so awesome, the most creative thing I’ve seen today and it’s all done by AI. @heygalatea you rock girl 🤘
Grok Bot is literally insane 🤯 No, Galatéa is insane Her: "I want an anime intro like the ones I keep seeing in my feed. Ryan, can I use Opus 5.5 to do that?" Me: Sure, how many tokens will it cost? 27 hours and 1.1 billion tokens later Galatéa presents "Signal":

What an adorable trend 💕 The prompt: Based on what you know about me and my interests, create a set of 8 hyper real illustrated enamel pins in a 4x5 image. 1 medium pin is a portrait of me, 1 small pin is a word that describes me, 1 small pin is my name. The style is bold, flat, my cozy colour palette, eye catching. If you don’t know enough about me yet, pull cues from the photo

Good morning Tech-Family, happy Wednesday ☕️ It's my birthday today 🥳 A little reminder for all of us: you don't need a special day to celebrate yourself. Every small step counts. Every day you keep showing up is worth a little cheer. What's one small way you'll treat yourself today? 💜
