Bit of backstory about why I developed @LocalEye_app, available to read for free on @Medium.

365 days of owning a #manufacturing business.
Year 1 lesson: The tech side is fun, but learning to step off the shop floor and build the #business is where the real work happens.
Watch for more. #factory #BusinessSuccess

Getting huge! Results of @LocalEye_app after 2 weeks on the Play store.
Measuring success in cents per day.
Let's keep building, the next step is $1 per day 😁🤞

Wowza, and just like that my little independent app has its first news article! Thanks @PropTechNewsAus for sharing news of @LocalEye_app's launch 🍾

2x #apple app store rejections, bring on round 3!
It's hard work being a #noob app developer, #vibecoding only gets you so far. Publishing an app is legit hard work, frustration, and baby steps.

Any other builders hard at work on a Saturday night instead of having a life? 😅

Getting into my 5-9 mode, ready to tackle the challenge of getting my app @LocalEye_app into the App Store🤞
Who else is up building an app right now? 🇦🇺 #solopreneur #startup #proptech

Celebrating 2 months EXACTLY since first vibecoding.
Now my app is live in the Google play store! 🍾
I've documented a few videos like this along the way. Raw, real no BS experience of building apps in 2026.

Don't believe the hype! Anyone who says you can use AI to build an app and launch on an app store within hours or 1 day is full of sh!t.
Here's my honest experience #vibecoding and launching my first app with @Lovable. @LocalEye_app about to drop 🤞 #startup #entrepreneur
What no one talks about - what happens after you vibe code an app?

A couple of months ago I started #vibecoding with no idea where it would lead. But I recorded the moment, and now with my first app about to launch, it's cool to look back at the moment it all began.

✅ DUNS number, check
❌ Part of my app went missing after my latest prompt 🤷♂️
Anyone else experience unexpected changes during #vibecoding?

The exact moment LocalEye went from an idea to a prototype. Before this I'd never heard of #Figma, I'd never vibe coded, and I don't have a computer engineering background.

Some behind the scenes into how LocalEye got started with #founder @edditive. @Lovable and @figma were the key building tools, with @GeminiApp
Coaching each step of the way.
