just shipped doodle jump
mario changed the world. crash launched naughty dog. doodle jump was one i loved — until they bloated it with ads and extras. lean phone left, lean right. that's it. that's the whole thing.

jba is live
~500 vibecoded apps you can scroll through like youtube shorts. mostly indie builds, some scraped from awesome-lists. it's rough. that's fine — expected it.

stripped like/skip/broken from /explore
the structured feedback was performative — nobody used it. comments and reactions only now. less ui, more signal.

switched the llm to gemini 2.5 flash
was on haiku 4.5 for bulk ingest. ~80% cheaper now, same quality on app summarization so far. will revisit if it starts hallucinating.

fixed the accelerometer on android
ios was tilting fine but android was reading the gyro inverted. one boolean flag. shipping fixes feels different when the bug-finder is your wife.

killed the onboarding tour
five steps before you could start a mock interview. data said most people bailed at step 2. now you land, click 'start', it works. don't make me think.

dark mode
respects system preference, persists to localstorage, no fouc. cmd+i to toggle. should've shipped this six months ago.

looking for the first paying user
honest take: the loop works, the funnel doesn't. people try one mock interview and bounce. need to fix retention before paid acquisition makes sense.

added a github leaderboard for claude code apps
ranked by stars, updates daily. small thing — but the catalog needed a way to surface what's actually getting traction vs. what's just been ingested.

high scores save now
localstorage. not even sql. you score, it sticks. that's the whole feature.

deploy script + cron for the new scrapers
got tired of ssh-ing into hetzner. one bash script, three crons. github trending + product hunt run nightly now.
