Non-technical founder here 👋 I shipped an app to both app stores in 15 languages, with AI
Hi everyone 👋 I'm Aykut, a solo, non-technical founder.
Two years ago my washing machine broke and I couldn't tell if it was still under warranty. I couldn't find an app I trusted (privacy-first, no data selling), so I decided to build one myself — despite not being a developer.
With heavy AI assistance, I went from idea to a live app on the App Store and Google Play, in 15 languages, as a solo founder. It's called Master of Home — appliance warranty & maintenance tracking, with zero-server privacy (your data never leaves your phone).
I'm launching on Product Hunt on Aug 22, and I'd love to get to know this community before then.
A couple of things I'm curious about:
- For other non-technical/solo builders: what part of shipping surprised you most?
- For PH veterans: what's the one thing you wish you'd done differently before your launch?
Happy to share anything about my process, the privacy architecture, or the launch prep 👇

Update — today's the day! 🚀 Master of Home is officially live on Product Hunt now. Thanks to everyone who said hi here before launch.
If you've got a minute, I'd genuinely love your honest feedback — especially on the paywall and pricing. And I'm still curious about the questions I asked above: for other solo/non-technical builders, what part of shipping surprised you most?
Happy to answer anything about the build, the zero-server privacy setup, or the launch prep 👇
