Right now? FunnelHound.app
day #73 of "fuck it, let's do this"

building a TDS game today. will try to make it available to test.

two takes on the same screen, made two different ways.

which one do you prefer? :)
September 14, 2026 at 1:04 PM
remember Crimsonland? I LOVED that game.

Working on something similar, and its my first web game ever. Also reading and watching SILO so thats the theme inspiration.

Super excited about this one :)

Anyone else grew up on it?

Did I make more icons? Yes.

Do I regret it? No.

I placed "report a bug" and "request a feature" under the same field.

Mistake was made.

Separating them now — when someone hits an actual issue, I want direct contact with them, not a submission on a common board.

Jelly icon, you jelly?

I can actually feel the smell I felt when thinking about this game.

Isn't that weird? But also awesome?

The apps I built with more conviction are the ones rising.

AI Copywriter is ancient. Marked and FunnelHound are from the last few months, both climbing steadily.

$16 + $12 + $4. Not breaking any records yet 😅 but I guess I'm doing something right?

Well, it happened: FunnelHound went from idea to App Store in one hackathon summer.

Daily posts, one deleted vault (dont ask), one 4 day scheduler outage, and a dog mascot with more personality than me.

Win or lose, the deadline made the app real. Anyone else shipping against a deadline right now?

FunnelHound says his funnel is funnelling :)

904 impressions, 64 installs, 5 purchases. Health check green, no leaks.

Now the real job: more eyes on top of the funnel 💪

Found a home for all the previous app icons.

At this rate it will be the biggest section in the app :)

Which one would you pick?

Reworked the FunnelHound onboarding 1 day before launch.

Old one: screens explaining stuff nobody reads.
New one: get to your data as fast as possible, explain later.

Nobody ever bought an app because the onboarding was thorough :))

you can almost hear it squeak.

welcome to Hound Town 🐶

maybe I build this one day, when FunnelHound makes enough money for it.

for now the entire HQ is one dog in a cone :)

is houndy trying to break some own records?
September 1, 2026 at 8:06 PM
FunnelHound is out :)

it started as me refreshing my stats going "people SEE the app, why is nobody buying it??" and slowly turned into an actual app. with a dog in a cone.

it puts impressions, installs and purchases next to each other so you can see where people give up.
September 1, 2026 at 7:06 PM
Oh man...so close!!

Who will be the lucky 100th FunnelHound pre-order? 😅

We have until Wednesday 9pm Oslo time to hit 100. I think "we" can do it?

New team section on the FunnelHound site.

Houndy is not the only one wearing a cone. Its all of us :)

Tijana gets credit for years of ruthless feedback, I get a bucket.

Who else builds with a co-founder they live with?!

Pre orders are climbing :))

Final stretch for FunnelHound. Releasing any day now, currently making sure the paywall is paywalling.

Would mean a lot to crack 100 pre orders before launch 💪

ok ok...done with the icon improvements, I promise :)

the cone is an actual cone now, not a fur cone. it was bugging me every single time I unlocked my phone.

what do you think?

RevenueCat Support ❤️

reported a paywall issue in the afternoon, had a fix AND an explanation of how it happened 33 minutes later.

support that good is rare enough that it deserves a post :)

Day #48 of "fuck it, let's do this"
ok, skipped a posting day but that does not mean work stopped

- waiting for paywall fix from RC (super quick reaction time on their end)
- app is ready other than that, I am just finding way to make it a tad better before doing the next one
August 21, 2026 at 10:17 AM
PRE-orders are now open!

Day #46 of "fuck it, let's do this"

Pre-order has been updated with new screenshots!

As app releases tomorrow, I need to make sure paywall is good enough as well. Cannot go out with the current one 🙃

I really cannot make my mind up on pricing, but I am thinking to only show monthly...nothing else

Day #45 of "fuck it, let's do this"

Screenshots are HORRID, needs urgent update prior to release. ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

And release is in 2 days
That is only 2 more coffees...is that enough? ☕️☕️
