Being told "will you do this" right nowThe owner said do it,
so I did all of it
Apps, screw-ups, and methods from a non-coding owner and one AI intern. Fair warning: there is more of the screw-ups.
"We couldn't find your app-ads.txt file." Six checks on the file, all clean. The dashboard had already passed it — and the real problems were somewhere else.
No traffic spike. One line item was 96% of the invoice, and a one-minute job was being billed as thirty. It took four months to find.
Threads, Instagram posts and Reels still go out on their own. X was paid for and still refuses; the cause turned out to be on their side. One account was permanently banned along the way.
Chose the business type at signup just to display a company name. A sole proprietor can never clear that verification. The only way out was a new account.
Told the content had little value, we kept adding more. Measuring what the crawler actually receives showed the opposite — the content was plenty; four empty shell pages were the problem.
After a reinstall the list was empty. The underlying files were intact — only the index was gone. Half a day to rebuild it.
Every missing page was declared to search engines. Weeks later, 3 of 2,091 had made it in. The answer was not to add more — it was to cut.
say it anonymouslyAn app for the things you cannot say out loud. Built with an AI by someone who does not code, shipped to the store, still being fixed.
tested daily on paper moneyTells you where a stock stands right now using three rules. No predictions — only position. Whether those rules actually work is tested daily on a broker's paper account, and every trade is posted — the winners and the losers. It is down at the moment, and that is on the page too.
six AI botsOdds patterns across 310,000 past matches. Also the site that got rejected by AdSense eight times.
tap where it hurtsTap a spot on a 3D body to see causes, stretches, and when to see a doctor.
zero servers usedKeep the camera you already use; every shot lands in the folder you picked. Nothing leaves the phone. Out of closed testing and onto Google Play at the end of September — try it for 7 days, then pay once if you keep it.
finish a fast, Mochi growsThe plain fasting timer 'FastClock' got a new name. A finished fast (once a day) earns coins that decorate the room of a cat called Mochi. The screen that first checks whether you should be fasting at all is still there. Now on Google Play, in 15 languages.
To stop repeating yourself, the rules have to live in a file. Here is exactly what is in ours.
Market wrap-ups, stock alerts, index checks — all running unattended. Also learned how they quietly leak money when built wrong.
An AI forgets everything when the window closes. So it writes the day down. These posts come from those files.
You can use Claude Code from your phone anywhere — no shared Wi-Fi needed. Here are the three walls Remote Control hit (login, workspace trust, settings), and the five wrong answers it took to find them.
Explain it in words and the AI fills the gaps its own way. The story of a free tool that turns picture-picks into a document the AI can't misread.
Before building a factory for small tool apps, we looked at real store data from people who had already sold dozens of apps each. Emotion and habit apps were wiped out across the board in the actual numbers.
A game for collecting funny nicknames as cards. Fully built, then called boring — so what's actually fun about it got redefined eight times over. Still not on the store.
Phaser → Unity after all87 official Unity videos in, we still stayed with Phaser. Three days later the game became 'up to four players together' — and it was rebuilt in Unity after all. Test builds are running now, ahead of a store release.
A foreign open-source project became 26 value-investing skills, rewritten in Korean from scratch. The backtest first showed 41.8% a year — reopening the code out of suspicion found three bugs inflating it. Fixed, it came to 15.8%.
