Got tired of calorie trackers that felt like data entry jobs and wanted my data in return. So I built one where you just take a photo. AI runs on-device, works offline, no account, no subscription. Also works on Apple Watch. calometric.app

#ios #watchos #nutrition #fitness #ai

🥗 Calometric is live on the App Store!

Snap a photo of your meal. Get instant calorie & macro estimates. All powered by on-device AI.

✅ No tracking. Nothing leaves your phone. Works offline.
✅ One-time purchase. No subscriptions.

Your meals are your business.

If you're building @ratatui.rs TUIs and tired of managing colors across projects, I made ratatui-themes. 15+ themes, semantic colors, zero deps.

Wrote about why I built it and what happened when I published it:

Launching Pikr: A Color Picker for Accessibility-Minded Developers After building several Rust projects, I’m launching Pikr—a color picker that makes checking WCAG contrast ratios effortless. Here’s the story behind it.

Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption The lawsuit cites 'courageous whistleblowers,' but provides no technical evidence. WhatsApp's parent company, Meta, calls the claims 'absurd' and warns that it plans to countersue.

Facebook (Meta) has been lying about WhatsApp end-to-end encrypted messages for years. uk.pcmag.com/security/162...

Design decision: Why we're NOT building a public roadmap feature.

Continue in the thread 🧵

Initially, our official SDKs will be released for TypeScript, Golang, Rust, and Flutter. What other languages should we prioritize for SDK support? 🤔

#buildinpublic #typescript #webdev #indiehack #startups #feedback #rust #flutter #golang

Weekend question for devs:

How do you currently collect user feedback? Slack? Email? Google Forms? Something else?

Genuinely curious about current workflows out there. 👇

#devtools #askdevs #buildinpublic #feedback #indiehack #indihacker #startup

Feedra's approach:

✅ REST API (use from any language)
✅ Oficial SDKs (Typescript, Flutter, Golang, Rust)
✅ Embeddable widget (drop-in script)

Starting with GitHub. GitLab, Trello, and Jira coming Q1-Q2 2026.

Choose what fits your stack.

#github #feedback #rust #golang #typescript #flutter

Why "developer-first"?

Because feedback should flow directly into your workflow. Not force you into a new tool with its own UI, notifications, and mental overhead.

Widget or SDK → Your dashboard → GitHub issue. Done.

feedrahq.com

#devtools #github #typescript #rust #golang #flutter #react

🤣

Feedra's AI transforms closed Github issues into a user-friendly changelog entry.

Technical: "flexbox container missing justify-content on .cta-button"

User sees: "Fixed button alignment on mobile devices"

No more writing updates twice. ✨

#ai #changelog #buildinpublic #indiehack #feedback

Public voting boards sound great until:

1) Feature requests become promises
2) Loudest users control your roadmap
3) You spend more time managing the board than building

Feedra is different. Developer-first means developers stay in control.

#devtools #productmanagement #buildinpublic #indiehack

Where does your user feedback go?

If you're like most dev teams: scattered across Slack DMs, email threads, Discord messages, and forgotten Google Docs.

We're building Feedra to fix this.

I've been considering switching back to Linux after 17 years in the Apple ecosystem. The main concern is my music side projects. Although Reaper is great, most plugins aren’t available on Linux. I might try running them via Wine and Yabridge on a VM.

New Release: Edge Protocol: https://ricardodantas.me/2025/10/15/new-release-edge-protocol/

The first album “Edge Protocol,” a cinematic cyberpunk EP exploring a dystopian world of rogue AIs and conflict, is now available on all streaming platforms.

OUT NOW: Killware: https://ricardodantas.me/2025/09/17/121108/

“Killware” has evolved from a late-night idea into a techno-inspired track, leading to the creation of my first EP, set to release on October 15, 2025, with the entire process managed by myself.
