Daily Blocker just got its first paying customer! 💰 Someone from the Netherlands started a 7-day free trial and actually converted to a yearly subscription! I guess my Dutch translations must be pretty good 😂 #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #AndroidDev

I'm spending $600 over the next 5 days advertising Daily Blocker🚀 💰 $500 on Meta Ads 💰 $100 on TikTok Ads Running a No Nut November campaign to see how many downloads I can generate. Let's see if this actually works 😂 I'll share the results! #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #NoNutNovember

ChatGPT is unifying Chat and Work. I wonder how this will affect usage limits. One of ChatGPT's biggest advantages over Claude was that regular chats didn't eat into your Work usage limits. If that changes, I can see ChatGPT losing a LOT of customers.

Probably busy filming another “Day in the Life of a Microsoft Employee” TikTok or reminding everyone on LinkedIn that they work at Microsoft.
Elon Musk has roughly 160,000 employees across all of his companies. Microsoft has 223,000 employees. Elon’s employees build cars, rockets, satellites, tunnels, medical chips, AI and other IT products. What do Microsoft employees do all day?

Hopefully this means I will stop posting into the void 💀
X ALGORITHM UPDATE 🚨 X just stopped cutting new posts first, and that should help small accounts (I check it daily with Claude and share updates worth sharing with you) tl;dr: - X can only check 2,800 posts each time you open your feed - new posts used to be last in line, so they got cut first - now everything gets cut equally, new posts included - posts labeled low quality or misinfo now show a warning, and people can't like, reply or share them - no score changes this time lesson learned: your new posts now get a fair chance to be seen. Your first 2 hours still matter most. full details: - How it worked until this week Every time someone opens For You, X collects around 3,700 posts it could show them: posts from people they follow, popular posts, posts liked by similar people, and brand new posts. But X only has time to check 2,800 of them. So it just took the first 2,800 in line. Brand new posts were at the back of the line. When there were too many, they were the ones left out... and a post that never gets checked can't be shown. - What changed Now everything gets cut by the same amount. 25% too many? Every type of post loses 25%, new posts included. Nobody goes first. - Why small accounts should care Those brand new posts are under 2 hours old, with under 8 likes and under 500 views. That's where most posts from smaller accounts are. My read: they now get a fair chance instead of being cut first. How often X actually hits the 2,800 limit isn't in the code, so I can't tell you how big the difference is. - Low quality and misinfo posts now show a warning If X labels your post as low quality or misinformation, people who don't follow you see a warning on it, and they can't like, reply, repost, bookmark or share it. The code doesn't say what gets a post that label. Here's a recap of what you should be doing: - a new post gets its extra push only in its first 2 hours and first 200 views, so post when your people are online - likes carry more weight than ever at 0.66 each - people sticking around pays, the time-spent score is 50% higher than two weeks ago - a read of 10+ seconds after someone opens your post adds 0.4 - the boost favors the post with the best like rate from its first viewers - accounts up to 50K can get one fresh original lifted to roughly 16th - nothing beats a copy link share, it scores 20 - replies, quotes and DM shares each score 5 - talk with your mutuals, replies between you score 20 instead of 5 - originals are the only posts that travel outside your follower base - the 1st and the 32nd like each open a new route to strangers - your 2nd post in the same feed is worth 62% of the first, so pick your best one - videos still need 10+ seconds to qualify for the video lists - earning a follow adds 4 - a pinned post with a bad link can flag the account for 7 days, worth a quick check What you should NOT be doing: - posts that get labeled low quality or misinfo now carry a warning, and nobody outside your followers can like or share them - video alone won't carry you, an open counts 0.02 and the watch 0 - hide-worthy posts cost more, "not interested" sits at -52.27 - a post at 3am burns its 2 hour window before anyone sees it - a tap that turns into a bounce is worth only 0.3 - replies and reposts don't get past your followers - insults get your post hidden from anyone who doesn't follow you - adult media in 3 of your last 5 posts puts a label on your account - disguised content in videos gets checked from 64 likes, harder at 512 - self-reply chains under big accounts risk being zeroed - one account label and non-followers stop seeing you entirely - low-rated links don't belong in your pinned post - recycled wording can get tagged as copypasta spam - strangers tagged plus a low quality link is a pattern X flags - engagement bait has no size exemption - several posts in a row end up competing with each other - hashtag stacks add nothing - bookmarks are still worth 0 - 48 hours in, For You is finished with a post

With all the talk about long App Store and Google Play review times lately, I'm hoping this release doesn't take ages to get approved 😭

Am I the only one who thinks Claude needs a $50/month plan?

Daily Blocker was featured in TechTab's Best Android Apps of October video! 🚀 (1:41–2:34) The video's already approaching 20K views in just one week! Curious to see how many installs this brings to Daily Blocker 👀 youtube.com/watch?v=H73IzULZ…

Claude just shipped 🎬 Claude Motion (beta). I generated a 20-second mobile app teaser in minutes. This is getting scary good.

What are you doing this Sunday, chilling or building? 👀 I'm adding two new blocking categories to Daily Blocker: Adult Content 🔞 (40K+ sites) and Gambling 🎰 (4K+ sites). All blocked with a single tap! #BuildInPublic #AndroidDev #IndieDev #AppDevelopment

Hot take: I don’t believe you can build and ship an app of real value within a week. Prove me wrong down below 👇 #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #AppDevelopment
