#59 PRO TIP:
🎯 Focus on the first user experience.
Onboarding matters more than features. If users don’t understand your app in 30 seconds, they leave. Clarity beats complexity.

Cloudflare rewrote Next.js in 1 week using AI 🚀
Spent ~$1,100 in tokens and got 1.6x faster builds ⚡.
Caveat: the model already knew Next.js patterns from years of training so it was not built totally from scratch. Still wild for AI coding

Looks like Cursor’s auto model got some fixes. Been using auto mode lately, AFAIK it runs Composer 1.5. So far it’s been behaving pretty well 👍
I am a little bit late, but I finally downloaded Antigravity! 🫢
I am tired of seeing this page every time I try to check my apps. I think the session time is only 10 minutes. ⏳
JetBrains is officially discontinuing Fleet.🚫
JetBrains is transitioning to an agent-first development environment. I am curious to see what will replace the classic IDE workflow. 🤔
Tailwind is laying off 75% of its team... ❌
Although Tailwind is currently quite popular thanks to AI, visits to its documentation page have dropped by 40%. 📉
Because this caused a loss in revenue, they decided to lay off staff despite reaching 70 million downloads per month.
After 2 years, I’m back on Firebase… 🚀
Tried Better-auth: super flexible but shaky docs & Expo headaches.
Tried Supabase: open-source vibes, but self-host config is a pain.
Firebase wins with its all-in-one auth, generous free tier, and crazy fast launch. 👊
#54 PRO TIP:
📉 Kill features that no one uses.
Unused features add complexity and bugs. If users don’t use it, remove it. Simple products win.
#buildinpublic
#53 PRO TIP:
🛠️ Automate repetitive tasks.
Use scripts, CI, and pre-commit hooks. Automation saves time and keeps quality consistent as your project grows.
#buildinpublic
#52 PRO TIP:
🔄 Handle errors like a pro.
Errors will happen. Show friendly messages, log errors, and give users a way to recover. Silent failures destroy trust.
#buildinpublic
#51 PRO TIP:
📱 Test on real devices.
Emulators hide real problems. Test on at least one low-end device. Performance and UX issues show up faster in real life.
#buildinpublic
#50 PRO TIP:
💾 Cache whenever possible.
Use caching for API responses, images, and heavy calculations. Less work for the server means faster apps and lower costs.
#buildinpublic
#49 PRO TIP:
🧠 Think in components, not pages.
Small, reusable components reduce bugs and speed up development. If a component grows too big, split it early.
#buildinpublic
#48 PRO TIP:
⏱️ Handle loading states properly.
Never leave users guessing. Show loaders, skeletons, or placeholders. A slow app feels faster when users know something is happening.
#buildinpublic
#47 PRO TIP:
🧹 Clean code is a growth strategy.
Readable code saves time when features grow. Use clear naming, small components, and comments where logic is complex. Future you will thank you.
#buildinpublic
#46 PRO TIP:
📊 Add analytics from day one.
You can’t improve what you don’t measure. Track core actions, not vanity metrics. Real user data helps you make better product decisions.
#buildinpublic
#44 PRO TIP:
🔐 Never trust user input.
Always validate and sanitize data on both client and server. Frontend validation is UX. Backend validation is security. You need both.

3 AI tools changing the app development game:
1️⃣ Bolt.new - builds both web and mobile apps with AI
2️⃣ Firebase.studio - Google's new free tool for app development
3️⃣ Rork.app - the under-the-radar startup to watch
You can literally go from idea to working prototype without writing a single lin
AI may not kill devs… but designers?
Consider them toast. Built this in Google Stitch tweak it any way, get a predictive heatmap, and only need light manual polish. Is design basically solved? 😅
#42 PRO TIP:
🧪 Don’t skip basic testing.
Even simple unit tests can save hours later. Test critical flows like auth, payments, and forms. A small test setup is better than no tests at all.
#buildinpublic
#41 PRO TIP:
⚡ Optimize re-renders early.
In React, unnecessary re-renders kill performance. Use memo, useCallback, and useMemo wisely. Measure first, then optimize. Guessing makes apps slower, not faster.

#40 PRO TIP:
🛡️ Protect your app with rate limits and basic security rules.
Even small apps get spammed and abused. Add throttling, input validation, and IP blocking early. Fixing security after growth is expensive and stressful.
#buildinpublic
#36 PRO TIP:
💡 Write docs for your future self. Clear README, setup guide, env examples → faster onboarding, fewer mistakes. #buildinpublic
#35 PRO TIP:
🔍 Add analytics before growth. You can't improve what you don’t measure. Track funnels, retention, crashes. #buildinpublic
#34 PRO TIP:
📦 Cache smart. Even small caching (API, images, lists) can cut load times by 40%+. Fast apps win users. #buildinpublic
#33 PRO TIP:
🧪 Add feature flags early. Ship new code to 5% of users → test stability → roll out safely. This saves you from big-bang failures. #buildinpublic
Everything for Vibe Coders ✨
#32 PRO TIP:
📊 Add error logging from day 1. Sentry, LogRocket, or PostHog → silent crashes kill retention. #buildinpublic
