The best time to submit your Steam Works Identity Verification Form was 20 years ago. The second best time is never don't do it you're going to take up reviewing capacity I've been waiting a month stay away

I couldn't bare the amount of SQUARES I was looking at so I gave the map a touch up ๐Ÿ’… (this definitely isn't a rip-off of a Counter Strike map please dont look too closely) #gamedev

Trying to solve the problem of the psychic terrorist who knows his enemy is blocking his path before he even sees him #gamedev

In Bali right now. I would very much like to live in this house and not hear about anything Anthropic releases for the rest of my life

I love YouTube but I think I've reached breaking point with the ads/ tracking/ recommended/ hiding subscriptions/ everything's a short now/ engagement bait Are there any alternative sites that feel more like the cosy old YouTube? #indieweb #smallweb #worldwideweb

Setting your phone to black and white Pros: massively reduced screen time Cons: accidentally sending horrid brown hearts for three months

One thing I don't like is that when you finish a long (~2 hour) block of work, it gives you a big spike of points at the end

I think instead it should backwardly distribute the points, using the completion time - duration of the task to mark to start

I added a productivity graph to my personal efficiency system and watching it go up is addictive as hell ๐Ÿ“ˆ #adhd #productivity

Made some improvements to the mobile version of Prevail I mainly use the time blocking feature when I'm on the desktop version, but still like to track tasks on mobile #buildinpublic #optimising #adhd

Iโ€™m curious which #UX style people prefer for completed tasks: (1) Todoist, where tasks vanish for a cleaner UI (2) Google Tasks, which keeps them in โ€œCompletedโ€ for that sense of achievement. Which approach motivates you more? #Productivity #Design #UI

The job market is ROUGH you guys Friend of mine works at Citi, said they had a role open up on his project and to send him my resume. The manager liked it, said I should apply officially. 30 mins after applying I get a rejection email from HR Even if you get a job offer, you can't get a job

I've got to stop reading Alan Watts before work "You, the individual organism, are a structure of such fabulous ingenuity that it calls the whole universe into being" Ok cheers Alan I'm gonna go review a pull request now

As we get closer to Christmas, I hope all the #solopreneur community are remembering to take time away from their projects and spend time with their family There are more important things in life than making the line go up #buildinpublic #indiehacker #startup

๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป One thing I love about the algorithm on #bluesky It doesn't encourage the Garry Vee-esq "tweet 17 times a day at exactly 12 minutes past the hour to maximise engagement" posting cadence It means that creators can focus on CREATING, rather than different ways to word "look at what I made"

๐Ÿ“ฃ People juggling lots of projects ๐Ÿ“ฃ What's your preferred way of keeping track of all the things you have to do? I'm currently using an abomination of Notion, Todoist, and Google Calendar ๐Ÿ˜ฌ #indiehacker #productivity #productivitytools #adhd

The gamification of your phone means adding elements such as points, league tables, streaks and pseudo-rewards ๐Ÿค‘ These feel exciting but are as valueless as the โ€œfalse winโ€ experienced by a slot-machine player who pays $5 for a spin and then, with bells and flashing lights going off, gets $3 back

Minimum ๐Ÿ‘ Viable ๐Ÿ‘ Product ๐Ÿ‘ You need to UNDER engineer your first release Imagine you're making a car; make it move and give the driver somewhere to sit. Then put it in front of them and get their feedback This has been a letter to myself #indiehacker #buildinpublic #indiedev
