AI hacks i use to build
apps as a solo indie dev
so far i've built 4 apps
over the last year
(mid journey)
create app icons
graphic designers are
super expensive and i
can't afford them as an
indie dev
my prompt: "flat graphic
2D drawing of [xxx], black
stroke, minimalistic, flat
background"
(chatGPT)
generate mock data
for dev/testing
this makes it so easy
to test various edge cases
(mid journey)
create illustrations
for app assets
apps look way more
polished when you
have nice assets
prompt: "watercolor.
illustration of inkberries
on a branch. ink outlines.
vintage style. white
background"
(cursor)
formatting datetime
no matter how many years
i spend coding i will never
remember how to format
dates LOL
Original caption
in all honesty i would not be able to build apps on my own like this if it wasnt for AI. just makes everything so much faster #solopreneur #softwareengineer #indiedeveloper #appdesign #Tech #ai #chatgpt #midjourney #cursor
