I’m Wen — Pro as a Dev, Rookie as an IndieDev

By day, I’m a tech lead/architect building SaaS platforms and solving big system problems. But outside of work, I’ve been diving into indie making — learning how much harder it is to build something people actually use than just writing clean code.

My latest project is Lumorae – AI Wellness Mind, a journaling app where your own thoughts come back to you as personalized affirmations, reflections, and quotes. You can even journal by voice and listen back to affirmations — it’s like having a supportive friend who talks back.

I built Lumorae because I wanted something more personal than generic quotes, but lighter than heavy meditation apps. Right now, it’s live on iOS and I’m trying to find out if it resonates with people beyond just me.

Would love for you to check it out, share honest feedback, and maybe even help this rookie indie dev turn a side project into something meaningful. 🙏
