Hi Mastodon 👋 I'm Joe, and this is my story. A while back I had to quit my job to take care of my mom. In the quiet hours I started teaching myself AI: YouTube videos, reading code on GitHub, and Harvard's free CS50 courses, where I earned my certificates. Today I build free AI apps under the name Ibis Tech, from North Carolina. 🧵 1/4 #introduction #LocalAI #IndieDev

Bloomscrolling, but you have to go outside. PocketPetal is a small game for walks. Snap any plant you pass and it joins your collection with a random rarity, Common to Mythic. Same odds for every plant, so a sidewalk weed can outrank a rose. The names come from image recognition and are often wrong, so the match % is always on screen and you can fix it. It's a game, not a field guide. iPhone for now: https://pocketpetal.com #Introduction #BloomScrolling #IndieDev #Plants

Speaking of which, I need a lawyer to draft a standard contract and anti-AI clause for my game studio as a whole. Working with artists and programmers all over the world and several continents at this point, but I am based in New York City. Can anyone help/recommend someone? #GetFediHired #indiedev #gamedev

#introduction Hello Mastodon! I’m Carlos, an independent developer in the EU, and this is the account of Caviar, a Mac app that redacts documents and screenshots for good: every page re-rendered as an image, every black area verified pixel by pixel before export, hidden data removed, and no network connection at all. Coming soon to the Mac App Store, free during launch. Until then: https://caviar-app.com/en #macOS #indiedev #privacy

Hi, Mastodon. This is Dancing Wolf Software, a small independent software studio in Arizona. We make practical apps and puzzle games, and we try to keep them small, clear and built with care.

Our first release is WolfMark Reader, a native Markdown reader and editor for the Mac. https://dancingwolfsoftware.com #Introduction #IndieDev #macOS #Markdown

Hi Fediverse 👋 We're PostRite, built by three cousins in Brazil, all software engineers. It's a social media scheduler: write a post once and send it to Mastodon and 11 other networks, with client approval by link and Instagram/Facebook comments & DMs in one inbox. It also works inside Claude via MCP. We'll share what we learn from each platform's API, weird parts included. Some of our posts are drafted with AI help and reviewed by us. #introduction #SocialMedia #IndieDev #SmallBusiness

Hi Mastodon! 👋 I’m Andrej, a student from Slovakia building Culacc on my own: cloud storage hosted in Germany, where files open in Google Docs, Office, Canva or built-in editors, and every save is kept as a version. I’ll post about building it solo, what works and what doesn’t in marketing, and real numbers along the way. #introduction #buildinpublic #indiedev #privacy #EU

hi mastodon 👋 #introduction i write backend code for a living and bolt scrap together for fun. the scrap is Scrapfit: a roguelike deckbuilder with no deck. your skills are blocks on a grid, and what they touch makes them stronger. turn-based fights against scrapyard robots made in #Godot, from the netherlands. playtest builds are free in your browser: https://straydreamarts.itch.io/scrapfit-dev here for gamedev chat, other people's weird roguelikes, and probably too many before/after clips #IndieDev #Roguelike

Hi, I’m Rick. I built Cadre Contacts because I couldn’t find a contacts cleanup app I trusted. It finds duplicates and messy details on your device, and nothing changes until you approve it. Free on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. https://hicadre.com #Introduction #iOS #macOS #IndieDev

Hello everyone, I think it's time for an #introduction. I'm Tristan, and I work in social media by day in Quebec, #Canada. In my free time, I love learning about health, online #privacy and #AI. 😀 I'm also passionate about #photography and cinema. I started an #IndieDev studio, Calm Tech Notebook, where AI writes the code; I steer the process carefully. These are ideas I've had for years but couldn't bring to life until now. Here to share the journey and meet curious minds!

I made GetSpace, a small desktop app for Mac and Windows: you swipe through a folder one file at a time (left delete, right keep). Everything goes to the Trash after a summary, nothing leaves your computer. Free to try. https://getspace.site/?ref=mastodon #macapps #indiedev #introduction

Hi Mastodon! 👋 We're YET ART STUDIO, a tiny indie studio making pixel art assets and Unity 2D tools, while building our own game, Deadstead. So far: Living Forest 🌳 (trees that grow, die, regrow and can be chopped) and Awakening Forest 👀 (trees that wake up and chase you). Expect WIP clips, pixel art tips and behind-the-scenes. What would you love to see as a 2D asset next? #introduction #PixelArt #GameDev #IndieDev #Unity2D

McKinley 1.3.1 is out. (My Mac app for designing your own SF Symbols.) As well as a few nice fixes and improvements, the app is now also half the size. (The .dmg is 25MB down from 43MB.) Small fry when disks are measured in terabytes, but every little helps, right? (Pats pocket and tries not to get sued by Tesco.) https://mckinleysymbols.com/version-history #BuildInPublic #MacDev #IndieDev #SFSymbols
