life's hard. at least now you get xp. real life rpg — 6 stats, daily quests, class evolutions. 📱 iOS: apps.apple.com/us/app/lifefor… 🤖 Android: play.google.com/store/apps/det… #selfimprovement #rpg #habittracker

"how to create an app with no idea" 42 KDP sales. written by the guy who did exactly that. google ads campaign drafted next. solo dev, multi-classed.

first iPhone test session yesterday. 4 bugs surfaced in the first 20 minutes. hard crash. two cosmetic. one logic. all shipped same day. real-device testing is non-negotiable.

4 manual premium grants today. 2 to a user whose first install crashed (sorry fabio). 1 to a 10-day streak user as a heads-up. 1 to another at 7 days. indie customer support: just be a person.

replaced the homepage hook today. old: "life's hard. at least now you get xp." new: "the version of you you keep promising — show up." turns out positive sells better than self-deprecating. lifeforge.app

shipped iOS update. apple rejected: missing EULA link in app description. fixed metadata. recorded a screen flow. redrafted the reply. week 3 of rejections. still shipping.

a user on Samsung Health saw 8500 steps. our app showed 4400. we anchored the daily window at 6am to dodge midnight resets. she ran at 6:05am. the step chunk that started before 6am took her run with it. fix shipped. midnight is the answer.

habit-tracker users — what's the one feature you wish yours had? we just shipped Apple Health auto-XP and a 14-mentor arc system in 1.1.5. our backlog has 30 more ideas. add yours?

weird thing about shipping auto-XP from Apple Health: i started walking more. eating your own dog food fixes more bugs than any test suite.

Apple rejected our iOS update because the screenshots had Android status bars. solo founder + Apple review = the best free QA in tech. fix shipped, resubmitting today.

Season 1 of LifeForge is live. 14 mentors. 112 arcs. each one ends with a real relic. Main Quest now pays +50% XP — picked one this morning, already feels different.

new in 1.1.5: Apple Health + Health Connect. walk → XP. workout → XP. sleep → XP. your phone already knows what you did today. now your character does too.

one of the endgame achievements in lifeforge: "Year of Forge" 365-day streak +800 XP, +400 coins Lv.49 Prophet. 870-day streak. 88,188 total XP. this is what consistency looks like as a game. will you get there? lifeforge.app

"cave observation 1hr" is not a typical habit tracker entry. but in lifeforge everything counts. family outing? +20 CHA. 3km walk? +30 VIT. dinner with family? +20 CHA. your real life is the game.

week 3 update: users: 400+ paid subscribers: 9 longest streak: 45 days top class: Warrior highest level: Lv.18 Survivor still solo dev. still £7/day ads. still shipping daily. lifeforge.app #buildinpublic #indiedev #solodev

week 2 numbers: users: 97 → ??? paid: 1 streak king: 36 days most popular stat: INT top class: Warrior will update friday. the grind continues. 🌐lifeforge.app #buildinpublic #indiedev #startuplife

someone asked "why not just use a spreadsheet?" because a spreadsheet doesn't give you: - a character that evolves - stats that decay if you stop - an AI that calls you out - quests generated from your actual life that's why. 🌐lifeforge.app #buildinpublic #indiedev

one user hit a 41-day streak. that means 41 days of logging real habits as RPG stats. no breaks. no skips. she's a Lv.8 Socialite with 9,500+ XP. this is why i build. 🌐lifeforge.app #buildinpublic #indiedev
