In the pursuit of this whole "drumming up interest" marketing thing, I've updated the #devdiary for my #paradroid / #quazatron -inspired game, #mausitron.

I'm not very good at this, so please like/share/whatever as appropriate.

My first #Mac mini from 2009 is retiring too - well deserved. It sent almost 2 million notifications and synced dozens of terabytes of data. 🖥️

Carried it to school for presentations, and for the last 7 years it ran #ZarazJade. 🎒

Time to finally put it to rest. 🙏 #DevDiary

I admit, a bit of sadness crept in. I wrote this backend back when we romantically cared about every single line of code. 💭

Built the whole thing in #Nova, over many months. 🛠️

But pragmatism wins. Backup done, database dumped. Shutting down #ZarazJade v3. 🔌

#DevDiary

#Database archived, #backend ready to be cut off. Ran non-stop for 7 years. 📦

Most important for me: shutting down one version of #MySQL. Frees up RAM - and RAM is precious! 💾

From now on, the old #api just returns a message telling you to update. ⚠️ #DevDiary

Today's the day - cutting off the old #ZarazJade backend. Migrated almost 1,800 accounts, 99% of users. 🚀

The rewrite was needed because the old service couldn't support multiple cities in the app. 🏙️

Not a blocker anymore, but I need to free up resources to build more. 🔧 #DevDiary

So yes, I know CoreData too - but I also remember to add a pop-up at app launch that lets me painlessly migrate 99.9% of users to a new backend. 📲

#ProductEngineer #iOSDev #DevDiary

Before setting a shutdown date for the legacy backend, I checked where my users actually were. 🔍

#ZarazJade was initially built for iOS 26, but it quickly turned out I had to go "a year lower" - which let me keep more users. 📱

#DevDiary

The #ZarazJade migration itself went super fast - the lines crossed after a few days, but the tail dragged on for weeks. 📈

I sped things up with a pop-up about the update. Every app should be able to show a message from its backend! 💬

Now, I have even more than 💯 !
#DevDiary

It's been over 60 days since the #ZarazJade 4.0 update. 🎉

Over several months I rewrote the entire backend, which forced a migration of existing users. A delicate process, so I wanted to handle it deliberately. 🧭

@claudeai prepared reports for me along the way. 📊
#DevDiary

Well, well, well🎰
We are growing rapidly🚨

Thanks to Serbian Games Week 💕 We've gained so many wishlists in the last few days! But also, I believe, our new localization update helped us as well. We've added support for Russian, Serbian and Chinese

#indiedev #gamedev #devdiary

WOW! In just a few days we gained about 50 new wishlists! CRAZY🤯🤯🤯
Probably because of the fest, but nonetheless - HUGE👀

Just released a quick TLDR rundown of @victoria.paradoxinteractive.com Dev Diary #190 - The Tsar and the Soviets. If you want to read the full dev diary, and I highly suggest that you do, a link to it is in the comments. #Victoria3 #DevDiary #TLDR

As fast as AI builds products, it creates technical debt even faster. Lots of .md files, half-finished code, and plenty of ghosts. 👻

Starting today: one module per release, cleaned up properly. 🧹

Small modules are the best win in the age of AI. ✨

🎮Sooo, i thought a little bit about what to post here. I usually talk about mechanics, new levels in our game, sometimes announce smth, but our game is also a great base for MEMES. So, let's create a think called #MemeMonday

Here's my creation😁
