Flutter makes it easy and fast to build beautiful apps for mobile and beyond
The Idea After deciding to build an iOS app using AI, the first thing I set out to create was a metronome app designed for dark stage environments. Back in college, I played drums — and while that was a while ago, there weren’t many metronome apps that felt both clean and professional. (Turns out, that’s still true today.) That’s what led me to the idea: a simple, black-and-white metronome where
The landscape of mobile development is shifting beneath our feet. For years, "Smart Apps" were simply thin clients for powerful cloud APIs. If you wanted to understand the sentiment of a sentence or find similar documents, you packaged a JSON request, sent it to a server, and waited for a response. But the era of the "Cloud-First" mandate is being challenged by a new priority: Privacy-Centric, Low
I have a confession: I'm a productivity app addict. Notion, Todoist, Things, TickTick, Bear, Obsidian — I've tried them all. And every single one failed me in the same way. Not because they were bad apps. But because they let me add unlimited tasks. So I'd wake up Monday morning, open my to-do app, and see 47 items staring back at me. By 9am I was already paralyzed. Decision fatigue is real. When
If you've spent any time doing Android development from the command line, you know the rhythm: adb devices, adb logcat, adb shell, repeat. It works, but it's friction — switching between windows, retyping device serials, manually grep-ing through logcat noise. padb is a Python-based terminal UI that wraps all of that into one interactive session. No GUI required, no Android Studio open in the back
I'm going to give you the comparison I couldn't find when I was choosing. Most "Claude Code vs Cursor" articles are either vibe-based or benchmarks that don't match solo indie dev workflows. I wanted something grounded in an actual multi-product project: 4 iOS apps, 5 distribution surfaces, 11 public repos, CI/CD across all of them. So I spent 14 days building exactly that — exclusively with Claud

After getting frustrated with news apps designed to keep me scrolling forever, I built Trace - an Android app that aggregates news from 100+ sources and uses AI to create 30-second summaries. The app is free, no ads, no subscription. Just news that respects your time. The Problem Every morning I'd open Google News or Twitter and 30 minutes would vanish. Not because I was learning anything useful,
