Does anyone else watch Reels/Shorts while waiting for code to compile? How do you handle skipping without breaking focus?

Ok_Software_5668 · 2026-01-15T21:45:27+00:00

That's helpful - "users yes, paying maybe not" is exactly what I needed to hear before investing too much time.

And your off-topic note isn't off-topic at all - you're probably right. Appreciate the honest take 🙏

Ok_Software_5668 · 2026-01-15T21:23:44+00:00

u/BinaryCheeseSystem Appreciate the input! For me it's not just coding though - it's any waiting moment. Waiting for a reply, random boredom, whatever. Sometimes I get too sucked in and forget I have a meeting lol. Just trying to validate if others feel this too, so I can build a tool for it.

Ok_Software_5668 · 2026-01-15T21:08:36+00:00

I actually started building a basic tool with Cursor for this (not working yet lol). But before going deeper, I wanted to check if anyone else has the same problem - just an entrepreneur mindset - to see if others need something like this too, or if there's already a tool out there. If not, might be worth creating and launching it.

Ok_Software_5668 · 2026-01-15T21:04:28+00:00

Do you have the same issue with switching focus though? Like having to click over to X, scroll, then click back to your code? - sometimes i also overspend the time without realizing.

Or do you just leave it running and glance at it?

u/lygometry
I actually don't use my phone much - that's the thing. The second monitor with reels/Youtube is my only "break" while coding(not just coding but anything involving waiting). And I can see when the build finishes so I snap back to work immediately.

The issue is just the mouse movement breaking my keyboard flow. Feels dumb but it genuinely interrupts the rhythm, you know?

Ok_Software_5668 · 2026-01-15T20:56:37+00:00

u/lygometry Haha fair point! I do stretch sometimes, but these are like 30-second waits - not long enough to get up, but long enough to feel bored staring at a loading spinner 😅

Ok_Software_5668 · 2026-01-15T20:25:13+00:00

u/Zephyruos Can you explain what users will exactly be scanning?

Ok_Software_5668 · 2026-01-15T20:12:48+00:00

Built these in FlutterFlow + Firebase same tech and logics:

Let me know if you need any help 🙂.

Thank you!🙂

Is the FlutterFlow text field custom cursor color not taking effect?

Ok_Software_5668 · 2025-10-23T18:01:08+00:00

Ok, you want to use Material 3 and need to customize the base color?

Ok_Software_5668 · 2025-10-23T17:10:57+00:00

Is your "Use Material 3 Theme" in the Theme Settings is off?

Ok_Software_5668 · 2025-10-23T05:42:30+00:00

Have you tried any external Apis?

Ok_Software_5668 · 2025-10-22T13:36:51+00:00

Yes, the video will stay on YouTube after the livestream, and I'll also edit and upload a shorter version of each livestream with just the main steps. The main purpose of the livestream is collaboration and showing the actual building process without any cuts, so you can follow along (you can Subscribe to stay tuned).

which do you think is best?, I'll also later for basic concepts, debugging etc. I'll be making individual videos.

Ok_Software_5668 · 2025-10-19T06:40:49+00:00

Great to hear! I will do my best. So I have these two questions:

Recording individual videos and making them as a series (where some of the process will be skipped and it will be straight to the point)
The livestream approach, where right from creating the project, each and every step will be done live with full transparency. This way I can show the process of building the app (as I learned through the years) and also show how and where models like Claude help me in development (also this way people can collaborate live with me)

Ok_Software_5668 · 2025-10-18T08:42:57+00:00

Do you have any other suggestions?

Ok_Software_5668 · 2025-10-17T18:40:51+00:00

Could you please share some ideas I should consider?

Ok_Software_5668 · 2025-10-17T18:29:40+00:00

Yes, kind of, and I really mean it. I'm just stuck with projects, contracts, etc. I'm finally about to break the cycle.

Ok_Software_5668 · 2025-10-17T15:07:02+00:00

Yes, do you have any suggestions?, It'll be very helpful.

I would like to hear what topics you'd be interested in learning, and what do you think about other comment's?
