👋 It's been a while, X. Over the past few months, I've spent less time chasing likes and more time building. I'm the co-founder of @MetichaHQ, where we're building products that solve real problems. Our latest is Oren 📚 A calm reading companion that helps you actually finish the books you start. No endless social feed. No clutter. Just a beautiful space to build a reading habit. By day, I'm a mobile App developer. By night (and weekends 😅), I'm building products, contributing to open source, and learning how to grow a startup. You'll see me sharing: 🚀 Startup wins (and failures) 🛠️ Building in public 📈 Marketing experiments 📱 iOS & Android development 🌍 Open source 📖 Books and everything I'm learning along the way Looking forward to meeting more founders, builders, developers, and readers here. If that's you, say hi! 👋

Can’t you just open source it?
We've decided to sunset Arc on December 22, 2026. That's not an easy sentence to write. We spent years building Arc and celebrating each and every release along the way: we have so much pride and love for what we made alongside the Arc community. Our priority is to deliver best-in-class security for our members. Keeping a browser secure takes constant, dedicated work that is only increasing in the age of AI. Dia was built from the ground up to meet today’s security standards, so that's where our engineering and security teams will focus moving forward. We've worked to make switching to @diabrowser as easy as possible for Arc members. Here's how: · Your passwords, bookmarks, extensions and history come over to Dia seamlessly. · Spaces, Folders, and Tab Groups are in Dia and import over with your data intact. · Dia now surpasses Arc benchmarks in stability, speed, and security. · The browser features you use in Arc are free in Dia, and the AI is optional. Thank you for using Arc, for pushing us to make it better, and for building alongside us. The team that made Arc is the same team behind Dia, and some of our most ambitious work is just ahead. We'd love for you to be there with us when it lands.

Should we be afraid of AI more or human's stupidity?

Working on Oren 2.0. One of the biggest update of the App yet...

Are you creating new Apps with Voice first UI or the way we used to do it before? I've been seeing many UIs built nowdays are building with voice first in mind

Yesterday I launched Oren on Product Hunt for the first time. The biggest reminder: Building the product and explaining the product are two different crafts. In code, I can solve edge cases. In one post, I have to explain why the app deserves space on someone’s phone. Indie developers don’t get to choose between product and marketing. We have to learn both. Lesson learned

Let’s see how long it takes to review the App this time, fingers crossed! 😊

I have finally launched my Oren App on ProductHunt today 🔥 Oren is a calm iOS reading companion built to help you actually read more, not just collect books. You can track reading sessions, build streaks, save notes & quotes, follow your progress, and keep your entire library beautifully organized. It would mean a lot if you checked it out and supported Oren on Product Hunt: producthunt.com/products/ore…

Oren is live on Product Hunt today 🚀 I built it for one simple reason: Book trackers are good at tracking books. I wanted something that actually helps you read consistently. • Reading sessions • Daily goals • Streaks & insights • Notes & quotes • A calm, focused library If that sounds useful, I’d love your support today 👇 producthunt.com/products/ore…

A reading app shouldn’t make you hunt through menus before you can read. I’ve been adding Siri and Spotlight support to Oren. Search for a saved book, or just say “I want to read Zero to One in Oren”, and it opens directly to that book! It's a small but really useful feature to implement

iOS 27 is releasing today. But for an indie developer, the real checklist is less glamorous: • Does the core flow still feel right? • Did the system UI shifts? • What broke at larger text sizes? • Do the widgets still behave like they should be? Shipping is exciting. Staying reliable is the craft.

Are you excited for iOS 27 release today or not?
