I used to spend hours looking for problems to solve on my spare time and never found anything worth doing, then decided to just set a challenge to build 12 products in 2026 and that forced me to start looking at the world and my routine differently.
That's when I noticed that every morning I am am commuting to work, as soon as I wake up I check the weather at home, and at the office about 60 miles away, just to then prep for the ride and in the winter be hit by "surprise" rain in my commute, and I thought, why on earth doesn't my weather app show me the weather between point A-B or why doesn't my map show me the weather conditions etc, so I built one, and now escaping the rain became a fun new game I play every commute.
My wife was tired of me asking her what we were having for dinner, especially when she had planned a meal she wished me to cook, so I built her an app that now let's us add all of our favourite recipes to, plan our weekly meals and weekly shopping all from one place and more importantly I no longer need to ask her what she wants for dinner.
Making it public after a gruesome few weeks making sure it was ready to be used by more than just the two of us, let me know if you wish to have early access.
I am sure we all feel like that about our products but I genuinely think after building and using my app Kraft for the past few weeks it might be the best fitness tracker available. But I find that unless you have never used one before, users aren't willing to try?
Hey :) I have set myself a goal of building 1 app per month in 2026, as a way to stop my problems with hyper focusing and just trying to perfect everything, however PennyWise which was my first, launched in January but will be launching in PH in March, I fear I still made the same mistake and now been resting the temptation of going back and restarting it all.
Anyone feels the same about the things they've built?
PennyWise turns messy finances into a simple plan. Set goals, and get clear weekly targets for spending, saving, and debt payoff. See where money leaks, get nudges before you overspend, and build a realistic budget you’ll actually follow. Made for people who want clarity, not guilt.
