By day I build apps; the rest of the time I run a couple of AI-news channels for people who actually ship code.</p> <h2> What I work on </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>Apps</strong>: <a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6753904679" rel="noopener noreferrer">PostSupporter</a> and <a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id6756835394" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mapmediary</a> — small iOS apps I design, build, and ship solo.</li> <li> <strong>AI news for builders</strong>: a daily English AI-news short channel (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@danioff_en" rel="noopener noreferrer">@danioff_en</a>) plus a Japanese one. Three stories a day, filtered for developers — what changed in your tools, what it means, and what you can try today.</li> </ul> <h2> Why I'm here </h2> <p>I keep learning things the hard way — what AI tooling actually helps when you're a one-person team, what's hype, and what quietly breaks. dev.to feels like the right place to write that down instead of letting it disappear into a Notes app.</p> <p>Topics I plan to write about:</p> <ul> <li>The reality of solo app development (the boring parts included)</li> <li>AI tools in a real workflow — what earned a place, what got cut</li> <li>Lessons from running a Japanese vs. English channel side by side</li> <li>The occasional "I automated this and here's the messy truth" post</li> </ul> <h2> Say hi </h2> <p>If you're also building solo, or running anything on the side, I'd love to compare notes. <strong>What would you actually want to read about?</strong> Drop a comment — I'm taking requests.</p> <p>Thanks for having me 🙏</p> introduction ai indiehackers ios
