madebyayan··on Show HN: Focus Wall – Keep all your to-dos right in your wallpaper
Thanks! Glad you found it useful. And yes, right now it's only on desktop in offline mode, so all your data is stored on your device and never leaves the app.
madebyayan··on Show HN: Focus Wall – Keeping all your to-dos right in your wallpaper
Focus Wall is a clean and minimalist wallpaper app that lets you keep everything you need to focus on right in one place, your wall! We've all been there, creating numerous to do lists upon to do lists, both on paper and digitally, and ending up with something that might get a bit messy at times. The list in your phone memos is different from the one on your to do app which is again different from your post-its.

That's where Focus Wall comes in, keeping all your important to-dos in that one perfect place that see everyday, your desktop wall!

madebyayan··on Ask HN: Where to find agencies/startups who could be my first few users?
There's this list I came across recently about cold mailing, you can check it out to see if it fits what you need

madebyayan··on Show HN: No fuss super simple TODO/list making app
The simplicity of this site is amazing and it's really easy to use. Though for it to be more useful, you could have separate urls for when people create a new list, this way they'll remain consistent through devices and you can view it from any device.

And it doesn't need to be anything fancy, just a global unique key that's different for each list like 'https://nofusstodolist.com/35dh298'

But anyway, if that's not what your intended use scenario is then you don't need to add that since it does get what you want to get done!

madebyayan··on Ask HN: How do you track your progress across multiple projects?
For me, since I'm a solo developer, I use a combination of Trello, notion and even just plain note pad.

Trello helps you get an overview of the stages your projects are at.

Notion helps you plan them out.

And note pads and sticky notes are good for writing out and testing new things that might be good but aren't as important

madebyayan··on Ask HN: Where to find agencies/startups who could be my first few users?
I'm a developer as well and for me I'd say the most effective way to reach your audience is to cold mail them about your product and services. Cold mailing them in a way that's not spammy and instead makes them what to know more and reach back out to you. And don't just limit yourself to cold mailing, if you don't know someone's email, you can hit them up on insta or twitter for cold DM's, but again you need to be careful of what you say and how long your messages. Chances are they get a lot of similar messages, so you need to act quick in a short message while still attracting them to your concept
madebyayan··on I Started a Tech Company Without Writing a Line of Code
No code is going places where code couldn't before. It makes it easier and faster to make things that would have otherwise taken a long time to build.

And even for those who do use code and are developers, no code offers accessibility as speeds that weren't possible before!

madebyayan··on Show HN: Dopaminite – I wasn't productive, so I built this tool for myself
I tried this out when you had posted on IndieHackers, and it's a nice alternative to pomodoro, and maybe even better since it doesn't have fixed limits and the timer changes based on how productive you've been!
madebyayan··on Show HN: WebDen – open-source, PWA JSFiddle alternative designed for mobile
I've been looking for an code playground or js fiddle alternative that's easy to use on the mobile devices, and so far this is the most promising!

Also, on the website it's mentioned that more features are coming soon but the features aren't listed on the page. It would be nice to see a roadmap on the homepage

madebyayan··on A GraphQL-native approach to webhooks
It's always nice to see different areas in which graphQL expands into!
madebyayan··on New Online greeting card platform launched
I like how it lets you create digital cards and easily send it to others. Also as a suggestion, it would be great if there would be an option to get the cards printed and delivered to whoever you want to give them to!

Congrats on the launch!

madebyayan··on Show HN: Connect your bank account to Google Sheets
This seems great for customizing how you'd want your data to be structured and making it easy to have an overview of one's finances
madebyayan··on Show HN: Adventure Cards, a short deck-building tactical card game
It has really neat retro look.

Congrats on the launch!

madebyayan··on Show HN: AIMER.app – Actively improve your French listening with YouTube
I've just started learning the basics of french and this will surely be one of my resources for improving pronunciation and bettering my listening skills!
