Hue9 just passed 6K users in 7 months. Is the graph slowly going down? Yep. Do I care? Not really. 6,000 people played a little color puzzle I built after work. I’ll take that fucking win.

Away since Friday. Did Claude Code drop another game-changing update, did a new AI model arrive to replace us, or is everyone just pivoting to a new $10k MRR trend while I was gone? Did I actually miss anything in iOS dev or is it just the usual noise?

Arigatou gozaimasu! 🇯🇵 Best country in the world, strikes again!

Wow, woke up to Hue9 being featured as Indie App of the Week by @createwithswift! Super grateful for the shoutout. One step closer... your move next, @AppStore! 👀

Remember when people were paying $100K for a JPEG of a bored monkey? The good old days of the internet.

Reviews like this remind me why I put so much heart and effort into building Hue9. Knowing that something you created can genuinely touch someone makes it all worth it.

One book recommendation. No explanation. Just drop the title.

To everyone posting X Creator Revenue Sharing screenshots claiming $300–$600 with just 300 followers… y’all good? Need a hug? 🫂

You can’t really control if an app works or not, but you can definitely control how you deal with it. Right now everything is super oversaturated with AI. Devs are launching an app every 3 days and if it doesn't make money in 5 days, they just move to the next one. I feel AI gives us two options: you either build like a factory pumping apps daily, or you use that extra time to care about the small details that actually make the difference. There's thousands of note apps out there, but for example my friend @chocotuits made one recently that really stands out because it's original and super well crafted (I love so much the icon). And if a project fails, you don't need to throw it to the trash bin. Pass it to another dev who can give it a new point of view, or give it to someone who's learning. No need to wipe it out from the world.

Hands down this Baronfig Squire rollerball pen from @sketch. I must have had it for 3-4 years now (already replaced the refill twice). Still my go-to for daily notes and sketching!

Before Stack Overflow. Before GitHub. Before AI. There was Margaret Hamilton. She led the team that wrote the software that helped put humans on the Moon. She didn’t just help make history. She helped define software engineering as we know it. Rest in peace, legend.

Mostly improving the skills I use with my agents. I’m actually about to release one focused on Apple’s HIG. Every commit I make on iOS gets automatically adapted to the Android version. Two fully native apps, one commit. And testing? Something I always hated. Now I love it.

I have zero clue how Claude works. Switched over from Codex yesterday, got my Skills installed, and created a project in the sidebar. But ask it one thing and it opens a Thread. In the Thread, Skills don't work. Then it tells me to open a Session on my Mac for Skills and Xcode access. Now I’m sitting here with a Project, a Thread, and a Session. WTF is going on?? Codex was way simpler.

Thanks so much for sharing, Paul.
