From Tokyo to Aomori — a week in nature. Days are for family, mornings for building. The quiet here feels like it’s on my side. @RevenueCat #Shipaton Day 11, 12.

#Shipaton @RevenueCat Day10.How much weight do our days carry? Only we can decide that for ourselves. In China, there’s an old saying: “To know sufficiency is to be content.” I love this phrase. Today, when almost everything is available, many are still driven by an endless

Day8 of @RevenueCat #Shipaton . Started sketching the UI on a big A3 sheet. Tuning things while poking around reference apps. Still halfway, but I’ve learned to take my time at this stage. Dev agentic AI like ClaudeCode are getting crazy good —.but the moment your context gets

Looked into iOS’s Photos, Notes, and Reminders.to study search UI patterns for my next app. Wild how different they are — not just in layout,.but in logic and flow too. Anyone else feel the inconsistency isn’t always justified?

#Shipaton Day7. In June, I launched Doit, a “one-task-only” todo app with a vivid color scheme — bold, sharp, and punchy by design. Now, for my handwritten OCR app, the target is journaling folks — so I’m going for a calm, warm, analog vibe. Total opposite. Each product has its

#Shipathon Day5. I’ve been testing OCR accuracy with a local tool I built using Vite. It mimics the actual app flow. Until now, I kept it behind the scenes. But this tool has been key to improving the app’s reliability. Sharing a peek today. OCR is getting better.

No code yet. But not panicking. I’m building for people who tried digitizing their notebooks so many times — and gave up every time. So now, I’m polishing the concept and design to finally make it *work*. This is not “just an OCR app.”. #Shipathon Day4

Spent the day playing with my kid at a splash park 💦.In between the fun, I sketched out a concept design. Concept visual work is so fun and deep —.I tend to lose track of time when I’m in it. But for now, I’ll stop here before I go too far 😅. See you tomorrow!.#Shipaton Day3
