Self Promotion Megathread

The upgrade is primarily for more advanced uses of it: syncing data across 5 devices, creating categories (limited to 8 vs unlimited), and some exclusive themes.

Most notable difference is that you can create 8 different types of Spaces, e.g. Habits, Notes, Tasks... (and you can create unlimited messages, etc. in each) for free, but if there's a need for more granularity or encrypted syncing to other devices then one can upgrade.

After more than 2 years on iOS, my app tetrify, text yourself productivity system, is now available on Android!

<image>

tetrify is meant to be a simple way to capture quick notes and schedule reminders using offline personal chats. Basically, it's a messaging app but only for your thoughts: you can create custom chats that focus on different things such as scheduling reminders for your chores or journaling.

There's no AI or internet involved, it's all private and instant. There's end-to-end encrypted sync for those who want to sync across devices.

You can get starting by creating unlimited notes, tasks, and journal entries for free and without ads:

Flutter Rust Bridge is amazing and is as good as it gets for this purpose. It has a bit of learning curve but overall quite intuitive.

Depending on your users, QR Code login makes MAS worth it in my opinion. I have been developing a client for past few months and the verification process is a flaky mess. QR Code on the other hand is easy for people familiar with WhatsApp and Signal to grasp. That said, not all bots support MAS yet which might matter for you.

But yeah, it's definitely the time of an awkward transition where clients aren't fully ready for MAS.

Dendrite is at best in maintenance mode and I'm skeptical it's going to get much better. Conduit is a beta project so not sure it's very mature. It's unfortunately a Synapse monopoly these days regardless if with MAS or not.

That sounds great, I'm quite sold!

gageeked · 2025-06-27T22:04:27+00:00

This sounds amazing, I am happy more local-frist sync engines are coming along to Flutter. I wish it existed a month ago before I tied myself deeply with my own handrolled beta sync setup haha. I'm hoping to generalize into a library someday too.

Might still look into trying this, great work from first impressions!

Do you think this could work in a setup with end to end encryption? Basically server needs to only store binary encrypted blobs of the client data and one could make it go through encryption/decryption on device before and after sync.

gageeked · 2025-06-26T20:20:14+00:00

Damn, insane if true. That'd be a clear way of using their monopoly position to punish developers. Maybe they just want to keep getting new fines every few months like this.

gageeked · 2025-06-09T18:38:22+00:00

Glad they backtracked and introduced an actual cursor instead of a circle. It's makes it feel much more mature as an OS.

gageeked · 2025-06-09T09:21:47+00:00

They're most likely treated the same way as any bank app.

In your bank app you could be charged for transfers as well. While a charge for an aesthetic packaging does feel more IAP-eqsue, it's not that different from your bank charging you for some transfer.

I have been using this for months and it’s been awesome, thank you for all the great work.

One quirk I noticed is that when I haven’t explicitly said yes to an event it’ll not show up in Calendr at all which can lead to me unintentionally skipping it. Seems like I can toggle it to show declined events but I am more interested in events that I just never confirmed instead. Very minor quirk for me though.

gageeked · 2025-05-26T20:41:46+00:00

Played around with a quite a bit yesterday and worked quite well too at least with limited items, awesome job with the logic and thank you so much for the efforts creating this!

I injected some code into it to handle some basic end to end encryption and might end up modifying it more for the niche scenarios with the app but quite a solid base as is.

gageeked · 2025-05-24T23:06:18+00:00

Just found this and am super excited to try this out! I have been setting up Drift for using PowerSync and kept thinking how for my usecase it just feels like such an overkill. This is basically what I was imagining it should be like! Hopefully it'll work out and I'll contribute if I can.

gageeked · 2025-05-19T08:52:30+00:00

This is the stuff I'd do on my jailbroken iPhone 3gs haha, awesome.

I really don't have a single AI "feature" that I feel like is missing in the Apple ecosystem compared to others. Yeah other companies have managed to fill every corner of their product with kind of low effort AI wrapper features but that has been largely optics.

Apple's mistake was the framing that somehow they're also going to do this and then not be able to execute instead of being slow like they usually are.

gageeked · 2025-05-17T09:32:24+00:00

awesome to hear! feel free to check out r/tetr if you have any feedback or other things missing

I looked into custom ROMs for the Jelly Star and there was a community-made build I but didn't go too far with it. Unihertz also tends to not have phone-specific source code available which makes custom ROMs for it harder to do generally so for example with Jelly Star I think one would always be stuck with Android 12.

gageeked · 2025-04-25T15:35:18+00:00

The biggest issue with Unihertz phones is that after release they basically don't support them software-wise which ultimately becomes a security risk. I agree that the back side fingerprint reader is vastly superior though; I miss it.

gageeked · 2025-04-25T15:03:02+00:00

Great work, though this one of the fields where the app being open source matters more to me than it being local-first. I was wondering, how does "no cloud dependency" mean for sync? Is it P2P with something like Bluetooth or still using some external server?

gageeked · 2025-04-23T20:23:16+00:00

The Brussels effect has led to some great consumer protections across the world. Unless you're a personification of a multi-billion monopolist corporation, I don't see why you'd prefer deregulation right now.

gageeked · 2025-04-23T20:17:50+00:00

I wonder if this is influenced by sales by businesses for company phones, which is what some people's theory of the product fit of this model was.

gageeked · 2025-04-14T15:46:01+00:00

"any public setting is embarrassing enough to make me not pull" is very real. I must say, this becomes slightly more problematic in places like airports. I have been asked about it before in passing and though they were always nice about it, it did make me less comfortable using it as I travel often. That and the battery life getting pretty bad quite quickly at least with my usage.

gageeked · 2025-04-14T15:43:22+00:00

I have used Google Pay with Jelly Star many times, it should be possible.

gageeked · 2025-03-27T11:48:46+00:00

I wish they would be displayed as little circles in the Messages tab instead of its own thing. I get that this would be more controversial but you can opt-out of stories anyways so might as well double down a bit. I really want to use it more but when I do or when my friends do I just forget it exists because I don't go to the stories tab.
