Happy Monday! Another #standupinpublic today :). This time, hoping to release the next version of my beta app to testers by EOD. #buildinpublic #taiwanreceiptlottery #midana #indiehackers #makers loom.com/share/a235a94d…

Beta release woes haha. Here's another #standupinpublic! #buildinpublic #indiehackers #makers #taiwanreceiptlottery #midana loom.com/share/86c35f46…

New beta (alpha?) release on TestFlight! #standupinpublic #buildinpublic #indiehackers #makers #solopreneurs #taiwanreceiptlottery #midana

loom.com/share/51b50aa0…

Woops! Forgot to post last Thursday's stand-up 😅. #standupinpublic #buildinpublic #indiehackers #makers #taiwanreceiptlottery #midana loom.com/share/8c460239…

Catching-up after a 4-day weekend! iOS and Android widgets are in the works. #buildinpublic #standupinpublic #indiehackers #makers #taiwanreceiptlottery #midana loom.com/share/d88c544e…

Another #standupinpublic! Today with a preview of another project #strive, a tool for #habittracking. Hopefully getting back to #midana work today! #indiehackers #makers #buildinpublic #taiwanreceiptlottery #goals #competitivehabittracking loom.com/share/fbbfab37…

More fleshed out prototype for #strive! Need to get back to working on #midana though. #indiehackers #makers #buildinpublic #standupinpublic #taiwanreceiptlottery

loom.com/share/faab0dc8…

Android widget is operational! On to iOS. #standupinpublic #buildinpublic #indiehackers #makers #midana #taiwanreceiptlottery

loom.com/share/817f6fd4…

Another #standupinpublic! Need to find better ways to stay focused on my independent work :P. Friday ended up being a lot of cooking... #buildinpublic #indiehackers #makers #midana #taiwanreceiptlottery

loom.com/share/51c20a39…

iOS widget is almost there! Still needing to focus more time and attention on #midana so things materialize more quickly. #standupinpublic #buildinpublic #indiehackers #makers #taiwanreceiptlottery

loom.com/share/09074193…

Successfully printed an e-receipt for redemption in the #taiwanreceiptlottery! And good progress on #midana's iOS widget. #standupinpublic #buildinpublic #indiehackers #makers

loom.com/share/6104013e…

Finally have barcodes showing up in my iOS widget for #midana! And redeemed a prize without the original receipt in the #taiwanreceiptlottery. Interesting new monetization methods unlocked 🤔 #buildinpublic #standupinpublic #indiehackers #makers

loom.com/share/966fe69b…

Finally done with the barcode widget on iOS for #midana. Working on automated testing and deployment with #github actions and #fastlane. #standupinpublic #buildinpublic #indiehackers #makers #taiwanreceiptlottery

loom.com/share/5e3e386c…

Finishing something small for a client, then figuring out why my iOS builds are crashing on device and making my receipts list view useful today for #midana today! #buildinpublic #standupinpublic #indiehackers #makers #taiwanreceiptlottery

loom.com/share/8180ab34…

New #midana beta build is out for iOS featuring my new barcode widgets! Excited to finally be back to working on the core app. Trying to contain my re-kindled enthusiasm for #starcraft and focus. #buildinpublic #standupinpublic #indiehackers #makers

loom.com/share/e55014c5…

Lots of visible progress on #midana! New receipts overview screen is coming together and things are moving quickly. On target to add 10-20 new beta users early next week. #buildinpublic #standupinpublic #indiehackers #makers #taiwanreceiptlottery

loom.com/share/1af75a75…

Managed to forget to #standupinpublic on Friday 😨. Made some good progress on the #midana's UI/UX, though! Receipt overview screen no longer has any Chinese, and you can view all your winning receipts in one place. #buildinpublic #indiehackers #makers #taiwanreceiptlottery

Lots of progress on #midana yesterday! You can now see the winning numbers in the #taiwanreceiptlottery for current and previous periods. Very nearly reaching the polish pass for this beta release! #buildinpublic #standupinpublic #indiehackers #makers

loom.com/share/d02fcd31…

Haha got to love how things always break for demo. Lots of progress on #midana! Still on track to release a new, more polished beta of the app this week. #buildinpublic #standupinpublic #taiwanreceiptlottery #indiehackers #makers

loom.com/share/59ffd56e…

Lots of distractions yesterday 😨 but still feeling optimistic about #midana! With each passing day it feels more and more like a real app. #buildinpublic #standupinpublic #taiwanreceiptlottery #indiehackers #makers

loom.com/share/253823e4…

Honestly pretty stressed out and very behind haha. Sometimes that's #indiehacker life, though. The last 20% always takes 80% of the effort :/. #buildinpublic #standupinpublic #midana #taiwanreceiptlottery #makers

loom.com/share/131eea6d…

Receipt scanning views are mostly tidied up for #midana, though I may need to urgently buy a new iPhone today haha. Finally have a hit list for this release--nearly there. #indiehackers #standupinpublic #buildinpublic #makers #taiwanreceiptlottery

loom.com/share/386ab565…

Putting the final touches on the frontend for #midana! Just need to make a few backend adjustments, but new beta release is on track to go out tomorrow once it's been approved for TestFlight. #indiehackers #makers #buildinpublic #standupinpublic

loom.com/share/60d192af…

#midana's new beta app was approved by TestFlight! There are a few high priority backend issues that are preventing wider rollout, though. Need to take care of those today. #indiehackers #makers #buildinpublic #standupinpublic #taiwanreceiptlottery

loom.com/share/13ab3da6…

Went down the rabbit hole of configuring #asana for project / product management yesterday haha... so still some urgent bugs I need to resolve for #midana, unfortunately. Once these are fixed I can roll out to some new users! #indiehackers #buildinpublic

loom.com/share/48a4af47…

iOS beta testing for #midana has finally officially started! I've onboarded ~15 users with more to come. Next priorities are analytics, collecting feedback, and expanding access to the beta to new user groups. #buildinpublic #standupinpublic #indiehackers

loom.com/share/646fcf6c…

Sprinting to push out another small release for #midana today!! It's a day behind already, but I think today I can get it out. #buildinpublic #standupinpublic #taiwanreceiptlottery #indiehackers #makers

loom.com/share/b89a4ae4…

Android beta for #midana should be opening in the next day or two! And a packed new patch release went out yesterday with a bunch of bug fixes. Building some momentum! #buildinpublic #standupinpublic #taiwanreceiptlottery #indiehackers #makers

loom.com/share/2b5c7423…

Bad sleep = zombie mode yesterday :/. Taiwan is also potentially reaching level 3 #COVID19 measures in the next couple of days. Lots of external distractions, but hopeful that #midana's Android beta will go out today. #buildinpublic #indiehackers #makers

loom.com/share/cc240fe3…

More distractions yesterday and today. Preparing in case #COVID19 situation in Taiwan gets worse. Will push a release to Android and iOS for #midana today no matter where I get. #buildinpublic #standupinpublic #indiehackers #makers #taiwanreceiptlottery

loom.com/share/0ffac98f…

No progress since Friday. #COVID19 has been intensifying in Taiwan and Taipei specifically. Have been distracted by preparing for that. Should be back to normal business today and actually pushing to Android users for #midana. #buildinpublic #indiehackers

loom.com/share/2ef72024…

Android release for #midana got blocked on a critical build error yesterday, but should get resolved today. #buildinpublic #standupinpublic #indiehackers #makers #taiwanreceiptlottery

loom.com/share/0e6a941a…

Android beta for #midana is now just pending review by the Play Store. Working on smoothing out the forgot password flows today since onboarding users from other apps has been a big stumbling block. #buildinpublic #standupinpublic #indiehackers #makers

loom.com/share/c11b77bd…

Still pending review from Play Store for #midana... they're rather slow. Have some interesting ideas using WebViews that I want to test today for solving forgot password problems. #buildinpublic #standupinpublic #indiehackers #makers #taiwanreceiptlottery

loom.com/share/98007099…

Was able to pull a government captcha out of a mobile WebView for #midana! Lots of new possibilities for creating English interfaces for primarily Chinese websites. #buildinpublic #taiwanreceiptlottery #indiehackers #makers

loom.com/share/3906b83f…

Couple more stages of the forgot password flow to figure out for #midana, but then I can release v1.5.0. Play Store finally approved one of my beta releases, so Android is good to go. #buildinpublic #makers #indiehackers #taiwanreceiptlottery

loom.com/share/395c2dfb…

Still working on forgot password flows for #midana. Hoping to release v1.5.0 today, but looking like I'm only going to get ~4 hours of development time today. Starting to get back into a good routine, though. #buildinpublic #indiehackers #makers

loom.com/share/d6c8445d…

Big scare yesterday where I thought a security measure was going to block my forgot password flow for #midana. Turns out I forgot to whitelist a "www" domain haha... Finally wrapping that up today, I think. #buildinpublic #indiehackers #makers

loom.com/share/8459d732…

Forgot password demo for #midana today! Still a couple of polish things I want to take care of before I ship it, but will almost certainly get shipped today. Next is allowing people to register for new mobile barcodes. #buildinpublic #indiehackers #makers

loom.com/share/6a4f16f9…

Demo of the polished and completed forgot password flow for #midana. Finally shipped that last night in v1.5.0 and it was just approved by TestFlight! On to helping people create new mobile barcodes, which should unlock more growth. #buildinpublic

loom.com/share/b8e12e81…

Getting started with helping users create new mobile barcodes for #midana today! And starting to strategize around what it will take to introduce new user cohorts. #buildinpublic #standupinpublic #indiehackers #makers #taiwanreceiptlottery

loom.com/share/4f43b094…

It's amazing what a difference a couple hours of sleep can make sometimes... yesterday wasn't very productive :/. Got to bed early and feeling refreshed, though. Continuing to work on creating new mobile barcodes for #midana today. #buildinpublic #makers

loom.com/share/b32536db…

Made some cool discoveries around registration constraints for #midana yesterday! Not highest priority, but have started looking into programmable SMS APIs in Taiwan... might be able to fully automate / abstract this process away. #buildinpublic #makers

loom.com/share/39b56081…

Expecting that I'll get through most of the rest of the registration flow for #midana today! Bose noise cancelling headphones turn out to be _amazing_ for productivity. Loving this purchase haha. #buildinpublic #indiehackers #makers #taiwanreceiptlottery

loom.com/share/0bf3ce90…

Will wrap up and release registration flows for #midana before Monday! After that the only thing stopping me from bringing in cohorts of users is metrics instrumentation so I can understand how the app is (or isn't) being used. #buildinpublic #makers

loom.com/share/f7342a70…

Mobile barcode registration is out for #midana! For the first time ever, you can now register to use this system in English :). Today iterating on marketing and migrating away from @asana to @Jira. #buildinpublic #indiehackers #makers

loom.com/share/883ca3b9…

Loving my new #midana metrics dashboard with @metabase! Today working on getting ads running again, fixing my Android beta workflow, adding more metadata for better segmentation in metrics, and resolving critical app bugs. #buildinpublic #indiehackers

loom.com/share/ac00f5ef…

Big P0 for #midana yesterday where registration and forgot password flows were borked. Bunch of new users blocked. Very stressed haha. On the bright side, ads are running and people very much want this. Lots of opportunities. #buildinpublic #indiehackers

loom.com/share/b9cbd67d…

Back from a 3-day weekend! Sprint planning for #midana today. This week's goal is to onboard my first cohort of users from my waiting list before the end of the week. #buildinpublic #standupinpublic #taiwanreceiptlottery #indiehackers #makers

loom.com/share/f8486408…

New marketing site for #midana is up at midana.com.tw! Hoping for 2 releases this week where the goal at the end of the week is to add information to the app so that it holds new users' hands a little more. #buildinpublic #indiehackers #makers

loom.com/share/6367b2ea…

Discovered some new APIs useful for #midana yesterday. Need a Taiwan company to use them though lol. Scrambling to figure that out plus making sure I'm importing some special lottery numbers that are apparently only available in PDF format. #buildinpublic

loom.com/share/79bea397…

Feeling very behind today. Haven't accomplished hardly anything I wanted to for #midana this sprint. Thinking sleeping too late on weekends is leaving me exhausted and dealing with a "time change" during the week. #buildinpublic #indiehackers #makers

loom.com/share/17c27182…

Feeling recharged and ready to execute on a FAT sprint for #midana! Goals this week: 1) finally open up to first cohort from my waiting list 2) decide whether or not to open a branch office in Taiwan 3) start importing receipt details. #buildinpublic

loom.com/share/6e8f9404…

Yesterday went well for #midana! On track to finish 90% of the things in my sprint so far (including stretch goals). Today working on finishing out bug fixes, cutting a release, and getting my landing page ready for re-launch. #buildinpublic #indiehackers

loom.com/share/510151de…

Still fixing bugs for #midana today! Possibly a little behind where I wanted to be this Sprint, but still feeling like I've gotten a lot done so far this week. With a little luck, should push a minor release today. #buildinpublic #indiehackers #makers

loom.com/share/3723ed36…

Release v1.7.0 went out for #midana yesterday! Still pending TestFlight review. Today working to get the app ready for an influx of users who have never used (or potentially heard of) a mobile barcode before. #buildinpublic #indiehackers #makers

loom.com/share/356094a8…

Literally had a user email me begging to become a tester for #midana yesterday! Working to make that a reality today. Have decided to commit to drastically simplifying my registration / login flows. #buildinpublic #indiehackers #makers
