Building apps + improving discipline + sharing the journey

Joined May 2026
I’m working on improving my habits, spending and discipline. Also building apps along the way. Sharing the journey.

Hey guys, amazing meeting you all. Let's keep in touch on makermap 👇 the map says we should meet @flaviuscj1, @curedoktore and @tsvtxt 👋 makermap.lol/OzyBuilds?v=4pa… xitter.cf/OzyBuilds/status/21001…
I’m 30. I build mobile apps for a living and recently started my own company, Zenithum Labs. React Native, AI integrations, automations and whatever useful product we can ship. Based in Sofia 🇧🇬 Looking to meet more developers, founders and builders around Europe. Let’s build something.

I’m 22. I design and build my own mobile apps and do the marketing for them. From Belarus, based in Poland 🇵🇱 Looking to connect with more developers, designers and marketers.

This feels like the future of AI agents. Instead of throwing the biggest model at every task, use a fast executor and call a stronger reasoning model only when needed. Better latency, lower cost, and often better architecture.
A few patterns we frequently use with Fable 5: Use Fable 5 as an "advisor." An executor (Sonnet 5) calls Fable 5 for guidance. Most tokens are billed at the lower executor rate.

Curious what everyone is using as their Expo boilerplate in 2026. Are you starting from: Expo template Ignite Solito A custom internal starter Something else? Looking for inspiration 👀

First 1-minute experiment with Codex + serve-sim + Expo 🚀 Codex is inspecting and interacting with a live iOS Simulator stream running my Expo app. No custom setup. No complicated tooling. This feels surprisingly close to having an AI mobile tester for app development. Curious how others are using this workflow today. Huge shoutout to @Baconbrix @OpenAIDevs 👏

This is exactly the kind of workflow I’ve been waiting for 🤩🚀
More of the iOS app loop, now inside Codex. The Build iOS Apps plugin lets Codex view and test your iOS app in the in-app browser, open SwiftUI previews, and hot reload edits without leaving Codex.

For teams starting a new React Native project in 2026: • Expo UI • React Native Reusables • Tamagui • NativeWind + custom components • Something else What are you betting on and why? 👀 #reactnative #expo

Still using Cursor for quick stuff, but I’ve been really enjoying Codex lately for more complicated tasks. What about you guys?

Just connected our Atlassian docs to Claude at the new gig. Now I can ask it to synthesize the entire company knowledge base, flag what actually matters for my role, and surface the gaps no one talks about in meetings. Feels like the first real upgrade to "onboarding" I've seen in years. Building in public with these AI workflows is changing how fast I can actually contribute.

Tried the same setup with Codex. It’s clearly better — cleaner summaries, stronger context across pages, and actually explains the why behind stuff. Helps me ramp up way faster ⚡ What AI + docs combos are you using?

Tried setting up a new side project today. Between Cursor, Claude, Codex, and a dozen setup agents… I spent 45 minutes just deciding which AI to use for the boilerplate instead of actually building. The paradox is real: more powerful tools, less momentum. How are you staying productive with all these options? What’s your current setup?

Treating AI as a “personal assistant” is cute. Treating it as personal infrastructure — your actual OS layer — is the shift. Grok + Claude as core models + prompts + context layers + n8n + React Native loops = mental load drops, output compounds. This is the quiet edge I’m wiring into my Ozy OS in 2026. Who else is building AI as real infrastructure? What’s one layer you’ve locked in? 👇

At some point managing domains becomes harder than building the actual product 😄 What’s your current setup for managing: • domains • emails • side projects • deployments All in one place or separated?

📱 6+ years in mobile development. Now exploring 🤖 AI workflows, ⚡️ automation and 🚀 indie products while trying to build more in public. Honestly feels like one of the most exciting times to be a developer.

One thing cross-platform changed for me as a mobile developer: The conversation stopped being “iOS or Android?” Now it’s mostly: “How fast can we ship to both without sacrificing UX?”

A few years ago using AI in coding interviews would sound like cheating. Now even Google is experimenting with it. The developer workflow is changing way faster than most people realize 👀

Please keep going with the excellent work @expo 🙌
We just cut the SDK 56 beta 😅 ◆ 50%+ faster iOS builds (precompiled XCFrameworks) ◆ 40% faster cold starts on Android ◆ Expo UI is stable ◆ iOS widgets are stable ◆ expo-router rebuilt from scratch ◆ Inline native modules ◆ Brownfield multi-app support The obvious themes are speed and stability. But there are a lot of other interesting changes (like Expo Router decoupling itself form React Navigation). Get all the nuance and detail in the changelog below ↓

Expo Skills might be one of the most underrated things released lately. AI agents that actually understand Expo workflows, upgrades, routing, builds and native modules is a huge shift for React Native development 🚀 Feels like the gap between idea → production is getting smaller every month. @expo

I have enough ideas in Notepad to build a startup studio. Now I just need an AI tool that forces me to execute them 🤖📈
