Headed to NYC tomorrow for NY App Week.
Quick look back before I go. GameNight went live on the App Store 5 weeks ago, built to answer one question: what should we play?
Since then:
• 1,000 users in the first 11 days
• 1,600+ now
• 125,000+ swipes through games
• 150,000+ games imported from Steam libraries
• One Instagram reel about the Battlefield 6 free weekend took daily signups from about 5 to almost 80
It hasn't been smooth. Three App Store rejections before launch, a crash loop, and a database that buckled the day the launch reel took off. Each one taught me something I'd have learned the hard way later anyway.
What's next: Haunted Week lands in GameNight on Oct 24 and the Android version is in testing.
If you're at App Week and building apps or games, let’s meetup, would love to heard what you’re working on!
Went to bed after typing one paragraph to Claude.
Woke up and it had SSH'd into my 3-node Proxmox cluster and:
• spun up Home Assistant + n8n
• built a live dashboard with node stats
• set up auto-updates + phone alerts
We are living in the future.
Heading to New York next week for App Week. If you build apps or games and want to meet up, my DMs are open. I’ll have GameNight on my phone and too many business cards.
What changed:
- Your level moved into the ring around your profile pic, and it changes color as you level up (bronze, silver, gold, diamond)
- Tags like Alpha and Day One got their own fixed slots instead of crowding your name. Added this in preparation for a Halloween event granting a new badge.
- You can pin your Top 4 games
- Cut the clutter: no XP bar, no leaderboard podium, quieter stats
The old version made sense one feature at a time. Together it was just noise.
It took 10 mockups to land on this one. Banner art, trading cards, a bento grid, even an arcade version. Most felt too “AI made”. The winner was a mix of 3 of them.
Friends tab is next. #buildinpublic
3 weeks ago I launched GameNight, a swipe app that ends "what should we play?"
Since then: 1,400+ players, 125K swipes, and a crash loop, a database meltdown, and an Apple rejection I had to fix in real time.
Here's the demo for @RevenueCat #Shipaton 👇

Gamenight officially hit 1,000 users. This is absolutely insane to think. I expected maybe 50-100 in the first few months. The fact we hit 1k in 4 days is blowing my mind. As a cherry on top, we also got our first paid user! Although, there’s no ads in the app yet so they paid to literally support which is amazing! I can’t wait to continue building on the app, I have so many plans for new features, additional support, and even in-app giveaways!
