I built a $15k Mac app for a random Reddit user

Someone on Reddit needed an app to solve a problem we both had.

That comment turned into a $15k project and months of DIY work.

Here's the story:

I also ended up getting a dog too which is super cool. His name is Fuji, he's great.

Happy to answer questions or share more details. Enjoy!



This is a sales post in disguise.


Aren't you supposed to ask the question on this part of HN?


Any submission without a link ends up in Ask. It's just kind of how it works, you don't have to specify that you want it to land in AskHN.


Nice App, nice video! Would you mind sharing more about how you notice the idea? That would be a more attractive story.

(PS: Your homepage misses a H1 tag, which is not SEO best practice)
