I’ve been texting with one of our @Keepiko customers for the past 5 days - and it’s pure treasure! 💎

He’s organizing his studio & keeps sharing feedback AS HE GOES 😱

I’m so touched - knowing someone’s really using your app & cares enough to share their thoughts is the best gift to any founder ❤️

25 hours for the #Shipaton app demo video and 3+ hours on the submission form 🫠 @keepiko

No one warned me that this final part would take soooo muuuch effort 😅 Anyway, here are some shooting dump… I think I’ve uncovered my content creator potential 😂

Getting back from vacation with the new onboarding ✨ for my Keepiko app
#buildinpublic #shipaton2025

Apple featured Keepiko in some local AppStore!!!! Is there a way to find in which one??? #buildinpublic

‎Home Inventory - Keepiko ‎You know that feeling - you need something right now… and it’s just gone! You cannot find it.
The right charger to pack before a flight. The document you need for the appointment. That scarf that mat...

P.S. And if anyone leaves a review on the AppStore - you’ll be my favorite person! 🙌

📦Keepiko is in AppStore!😍 Half-year side project I worked on alongside job & moving to apartment🫠

It’s home inventory app I built for my wife😇

A minimum lovable version, but all built by myself! Designed, coded, tested - even did my 1st website🔥

So please give it a try 🙏🏻 #shipaton #buildinpublic

Nah I actually did nothing, was posting on social media, but non of my content when viral or something, still figuring out what it was and why

Don’t understand how, but 502 people have already checked my new website 😱 #buildinpublic

@revenuecat.com #Shipaton update: Keepiko got approved!! 🥳

Still waiting for news from Apple Small Business & Apple editorial team about Launch Feature 🤞 So the release date is set for Sep 1 🚀

Until then check out my new website 💁‍♂️ & sign up if you want my personal message when the app goes live 👀✨

@revenuecat.com Shipaton update: Just 47 hours over the last 7 days 🫠 and I made 2 huuuuuuge steps with Keepiko app !!!

✅ Submitted our Minimum Lovable Product for Apple review
✅ Applied for Apple feature nomination

Adding more icons to Keepiko 👨‍🎨
This time I just slightly redesigned some of the icons provided by SF Symbols and added the missing ones. I’ll probably redraw all icons entirely (along with other assets) after I do some rebranding for the app.

#shipaton2025 #buildinpublic

What’s stopping you from coding like this? 😎

While waiting for my appointment at the hospital 🏥 I managed to integrate Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity embeds into my website code using the GitHub iOS app.

This is real building in public 😂
#shipaton2025

Today I was at a startup pitch event where 30+ teams from around the world were presenting their products at their stands.

I got a lot of inspiration! Even found a competitor to Keepiko - which is a good sign 😄

If anyone's interested in being the first to try my app (cause there would be no public testing), here's the link for early acces:
keepiko.com

or just check my lovely mini-website haha 😄

My first website created without any builders 🥹
No webflow, framer, wix. Pure HTML/CSS. For FREE.
This feels like freedom!! 🏄‍♂️

👨🏻‍🍳 v0 + GitHub pages + airtable

It took me like an hour, but mostly because I didn’t know any of these tools 😅 next time it will be 20 min max!

#buildinpublic

github.com/evgen-design...
designcode.io/swiftui-hand...

I did it! 😱 I found how to replicate @figma.com new progressive blur with SwiftUI 💙

P.S. I’ll drop links to my GitHub code and the source tutorial in comments.

🤖 Day 16 of launching Keepiko

Tried the same "don’t touch" prompt with Cursor + Claude 3.7 - worked well too!

Comparison: Claude offered a better design, but with bugs. Google AI Studio gave me more control over process + zero bugs.

P.S. Still restructuring the app...
#buildinpublic

🤖 Day 15 of launching Keepiko

Used Google AI Studio (Gemini 2.5 Pro) to restructure my app after user feedback.

I'm shocked, but it nailed it! Pretty sure Cursor with Claude 3.7 would've wrecked everything 😄

P.S. Secret prompt: tell AI what not to touch. Zero debug errors! 😱

#buildinpublic

🔬 Day 14 of launching Keepiko

Experimenting with sections and UI before fully integrating them into existing flows. I don't want to risk breaking anything before I'm sure it's the right approach to implement, especially since it should also affect SwiftData.
#buildinpublic

👨🏻‍🔬 Day 13 of launching Keepiko

Just wrapped up 2nd live user test with family - more mind-blowing insights! 🐡 My assumptions keep clashing with real home habits of people. BTW “Mom test” book advices are so in hand!

Also GPT’s expanding item list for my app - more icons to come! 👨🏻‍🎨 #buildinpublic

🏗️ Day 12 of launching the Keepiko app

Rebuild of core functionality based on real user feedback took me 5 hours today. I’m so glad I decided to postpone the launch - now the product works exactly as it should for easier home storage management 🤓

Now sliding into today’s off-day mood
#buildinpublic

🎨 Day 11 of launching the Keepiko app

Finally finished my new icon pack 🪩
P.S. I'm juggling 2 startups and 1 side work, so indie dev time is my struggle for now... but I have a dream that one day... 😄
#buildinpublic

🧪 Day 10 of launching the Keepiko app

Cooking up a small feature update with better visuals, following feedback from user tests👨‍🍳

P.S. GPT is my graphic designer 😅
#buildinpublic

🧪 Day 9 of launching the Keepiko app

Did some app field testing with my wife, trying to track all the boxes we have in the bedroom. This few-minute interview gave me more valuable insights than all the competitor research combined 🤯

#buildinpublic

🧪 Day 8 of launching app in 10 days or less.

Finished bug fixing after 1st package of feedback from tests! 🚒
Huge thanks to my bros @domenicoflauto.com and Gabriele 🙏
#buildinpublic

🧪 Day 7 of launching app in 10 days or less.

Almost ready for tests. Are here any kind people who want to help me find some bugs?
#buildinpublic

🔬 Day 6 of launching app in 10 days or less.

Spent the whole evening changing Keepica to Keepiko in code, AppStore Connect, and RevenueCat... 🫠
#buildinpublic

🕸 Day 5 of launching app in 10 days or less.

Started working on the website today. I don't know, I just love this app icon 😍

BTW the new app name is Keepiko 🥋 — kinda gives off an anime/Japanese vibe now. 🎌 Love it!
