Day 107 - Borderline
Added onboarding tracking using Telemetrydeck to see drop off, too few downloads for the funnel to mean much 🫠
built reverse matching to find cards that look best in a guard

see a slab guard you like but wonder how your card would look in it? now you can find out from just picking your card and see how it looks.

No more flipping between ebay, tcgplayer, pricechart, PSA trying to figure out if a price is a good deal or not, one stop shop for all the stats you need to make a call.

Codex helped catch a bug where the calendar view was using diff day counting logic than the rest by creating power user scenarios to test.
Day 52 - Borderline
Work been busy so haven't posted updates. Back at it now. Claude code been my main daily driver but gonna switch to Codex for a month to see. I'm liking annotation mode when I ask it to create HTML.
Made an iOS game to propose to my wife 9 years ago. Used GPT Image 2 to freshen up designs and claude code to make it run again.
#gamedev #indiegame
Built a small game prototype with Claude design @claudeai in ~30 mins.
Not a Figma replacement but as a solo dev who doesn't know Figma anyway, it doesn't need to be.

Revamped on-boarding to make it interactive and align to residency targets instead of a generic travel app.

Worked on ASO today, positioning the app as a residency compliance tracker instead of travel tracker.
