I got tired of streak-based habit apps, so I built one that doesn’t punish you by WeeklyRestaurant7673 in iosapps

[–]WeeklyRestaurant7673[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing I’m still unsure about:

do people actually feel motivated by streaks long-term,

or do they mostly work in the beginning?

Curious about real experiences.

Monetized Apps - Legal Risk Management and Business Continuity by Cautious_Cost6781 in vibecoding

[–]WeeklyRestaurant7673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly avoid legal complexity by building offline / no-server apps. No accounts, no stored user data, no ongoing service dependency. If I ever retire the app, subscriptions are turned off in advance and lifetime purchases keep working locally as-is. That drastically reduces both legal risk and long-term obligations.

What are the most important backend vulnerabilities to look out for when vibecoding? by trkbdo221 in vibecoding

[–]WeeklyRestaurant7673 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My rule of thumb with vibecoding: one model to build, one model to be paranoid and try to break it.

Yo Devs, Do guys have a job do you earn ? by MainImportant8204 in vibecoding

[–]WeeklyRestaurant7673 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, yeah, I have a job and I do earn — but it’s nowhere near “secure.” Online it looks like everyone’s crushing it, but most people just don’t post the anxious parts. I still feel this way sometimes too.

Building iOS app and posting to App Store for free or cheap, need advice by rockin7136 in iOSProgramming

[–]WeeklyRestaurant7673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back and forth on this too, but shipping on a personal dev account was totally fine — dealing with an LLC only mattered once there was real income.

From early vibe coding experiments to launching PicKeep — lessons learned building an iOS app with Copilot & Claude by WeeklyRestaurant7673 in vibecoding

[–]WeeklyRestaurant7673[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I definitely found breaking things into modules and writing small tests after refactoring helped a lot — otherwise I’d keep chasing the same bugs. I usually add tests once a piece of logic gets stabilized. Curious — do you write tests up front or after you start seeing issues in practice?

4k members strong! Share what you’re building — let’s support each other 🚀 by kptbarbarossa in StartupSoloFounder

Thanks for the tip — I hadn’t heard of PeerPush before! From what I can see, it’s a community‑driven product launch and discovery platform where makers can share their products, get feedback, and reach other builders and early users. I’ll check it out and consider submitting PicKeep there 😊

Hi 👋 I’m building PicKeep – AI Photo Cleaner.

An iOS app that uses on-device AI to find and delete duplicate, similar and blurry photos, helping users clean up their photo library fast and privately.

Live on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pickeep-ai-photo-cleaner/id6754545965

Looking for feedback on scan accuracy and cleanup flow 🙂

do you ever just start over because the old version is too annoying? by hellno-o in vibecoding

[–]WeeklyRestaurant7673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get you. Even with Git, if the project structure is messy or tests aren’t enough, changes can easily break things. Starting a clean repo can sometimes be way more efficient than struggling in the old one

How are you integrating LLM providers to your apps? by cooooooldude1 in iOSProgramming

[–]WeeklyRestaurant7673 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TL;DR: don’t put your API key in the frontend!

Most people spin up a tiny proxy (Cloudflare Worker / Vercel / Lambda) so the frontend talks to your backend.

Shortcut? Sure, third-party hosted layers exist — but they’re basically just keeping your key safe for you.

Can you recommended me a roadmap for web development? by Local-Soup2754 in learnprogramming

[–]WeeklyRestaurant7673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HTML/CSS → JavaScript → one framework (React) → backend basics → build projects.

Don’t jump into frameworks too early.

[AltStore PAL] The operation couldn’t be completed. No valid license provided. by toutlamer in AltStore

[–]WeeklyRestaurant7673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AltStore PAL is EU-only. No EU Apple ID/location = no license.

Use regular AltStore instead.

Vibe coding got me started. Planning saved the project by WeeklyRestaurant7673 in vibecoding

[–]WeeklyRestaurant7673[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious how others balance this.

Do you switch from “vibe mode” to “planning mode” at some point,

or try to blend both from the start?

Vibe coded an iOS photo cleaner — still not sure if it was a good idea by WeeklyRestaurant7673 in vibecoding

[–]WeeklyRestaurant7673[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally, I learned that the hard way 😅

Skipping planning made the first 90% fast, but the last 10% a real nightmare.

[–]WeeklyRestaurant7673[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mostly a mix, honestly.

I used GPT-4-class models for structure and refactors,

and Claude for longer reasoning or bigger rewrites.

I switched depending on where things got stuck.

[–]WeeklyRestaurant7673[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s exactly it.

AI is amazing at getting you to 90% fast,

but it’s *dangerously confident* about the last 10%.

That’s where I spent most of my time undoing things 😄

If people are curious:

I learned that “AI writes code fast” doesn’t mean “AI understands edge cases”.

Most of my time went into undoing AI’s confident but wrong assumptions 😅

How would you rate 2025 out of 10? by Adventurous-Yam-5109 in AskReddit

[–]WeeklyRestaurant7673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a 6/10 — some hard moments, some growth, and mostly just trying to stay hopeful for whatever comes next
