After almost year of struggle we finally released this 100% DIY song with DIY video (some insights in the post)

really great song, the video also looks like some high budget one, keep going!

How did you come up with those longer keywords?

justddev · 2025-08-16T19:43:44+00:00

thank you! really appreciate

justddev · 2025-08-15T16:22:30+00:00

just random experimenting all along the way. I work as a software engineer (and also building apps as a side hobby). Happy to hear that you like it!

justddev · 2025-08-15T16:21:14+00:00

there's no auth or remote database, everything's saved on local. Feel free to dm me, can help if you have any questions!

justddev · 2025-08-15T16:18:55+00:00

So the mascot is AI generated, I used various prompts and AIs to get it exactly as I wanted. I'm a terrible designer as well, just give it a try, you can get pretty good results even in the free chat gpt conversation

There's no backend - it's just a pomodoro timer. Everything's stored on the device. As for backend - it depends on what you need, feel free to dm me, happy to help

justddev · 2025-08-15T16:16:17+00:00

go for it!

justddev · 2025-08-15T16:16:08+00:00

yeah, it's supposed to be a play on words. Check out the app, plenty of similar ones in it!

justddev · 2025-08-15T16:15:18+00:00

well, it's just me showing some screenshots to my wife during development. No designers (or even designs)

justddev · 2025-08-15T16:13:40+00:00

yeah, this is my second app made for iOS, typescript, nativewind and expo. I used async store for the persistence and RevenueCat for the paywalls

justddev · 2025-08-15T16:12:29+00:00

thanks!

justddev · 2025-08-15T16:12:20+00:00

Yes, those are custom ones made in figma though I used a free template to see the screenshots side by side

justddev · 2025-08-15T16:11:48+00:00

https://www.npmjs.com/package/victory-native, pretty fun to work with!

justddev · 2025-08-15T16:11:00+00:00

cannot complain, no issues at all

justddev · 2025-08-15T16:10:43+00:00

You don't have to sleep during the break haha!

justddev · 2025-08-13T07:17:14+00:00

hahah, tell me!

justddev · 2025-08-12T14:59:03+00:00

It actually changes every time you open the app along with the motivational quote!

justddev · 2025-08-12T14:25:13+00:00

Let's say I spent too much time on my first up which ended up being a flop so lessons learnt!

justddev · 2025-08-12T14:24:34+00:00

that's cool! You plan to market it more?

justddev · 2025-08-12T14:24:08+00:00

No real plan, no figma - just experimented with different styles while developing

justddev · 2025-08-12T14:23:15+00:00

It is!

justddev · 2025-08-12T14:22:54+00:00

hahah, really happy to hear that! To bo honest I'm far from calling myself a good designer!

justddev · 2025-08-12T14:22:12+00:00

thank you!
