Just for perspective, my first computer was a Commodore 64 with a casette player....I used to spend hours making text games with dumb narratives...Never got into programming but I was hooked on the infinite possibilities. Spent my whole professional life building websites and web Apps in my own company and for others as an employe, always on the "Product" side, never on the code. I worked with many great developers and I always thught..."Should have learned to code.....The things I could do if I had just put the time to learn" FF to late 2025 and in a blink of an eye and after paying for $100 sub, I could finaly code....well, you know what I mean... Now, 35k lines of code, 1300 unit tests and 3 different versions - From a MVP in Python and Electron to a full blown C# over WinUI , Im finaly at the Start line, with a Launch day scheduled... I should be feeling great about this but.... Im stressed, not sure wht to expect and a little bit cluless on what to expect and how to handle it - Any word of advise will be trully appreciated
As someone with ADHD, planning always becomes overwhelming when I'm running my own projects. I m actually pretty good at getting things done but only once I know where to start. Figuring out where to begin when everything feels equally urgent is a real battle. I d burn energy just deciding a direction, then something would change, a meeting would run late, and the plan I made wouldn t survive the day.
Quick backstory: A few years ago I was overweight, sedentary, and completely disconnected from my health. I signed up for a 7-month fitness transformation program and it changed everything. Lost the weight, got into ran a half marathon, and became the person who wears both an Apple Watch AND a Whoop daily (yes, both wrists).
That journey taught me something: the hard part isn't collecting health data. It's knowing what to do with it. I'd stare at HRV graphs and sleep scores and still not know if I should push hard or rest.

Hey, I'm Maria UX/UI graduate who accidentally built a platform
I graduated in UX/UI in 2025 with no idea what came next. Honestly I was frustrated the course barely taught me anything practical. No design systems, no code, no understanding of what happens after a Figma handoff. I learned more in a few months teaching myself than I did in the entire degree.
So I started picking up React, TypeScript, Next.js, Supabase partly to fill the gaps, partly because I didn't want to be left behind as AI changed everything. I wanted to actually use these new tools, not just read about them.
I finally decided to stop lurking and start building in public. I'm a developer who realized that most of us (myself included!) are "too close" to our projects to see why users aren't converting.
I built RoastMyLanding to solve my own problem: I needed a designer's perspective without the $200/hr price tag. I trained an AI to act as a cynical, high-end design consultant that finds "Trust Leaks" in seconds.
The journey so far: I've done 96 roasts in the last week. It's been wild seeing the AI tell founders (politely, but firmly) that their headlines make no sense.
I'm Antonio, a solo dev from Spain building and shipping products in public.
Currently working on three things:
Autoreport sends Stripe founders a PDF report every Monday morning. Revenue, payments, new vs returning customers, refunds, and an AI-written narrative connecting the dots. No dashboard, no login. Just open the email with your coffee. autoreport.dev
I m George an entrepreneur building at the intersection of AI and travel.
Over the past few months, I ve been working on something I genuinely believe can change how people search for flights: Book With AI. Instead of filters, tabs, and endless comparisons you just talk.
Tell it what you need cheapest , shortest , senior-friendly , less walking at airports and it figures out the best options for you.
