yea, i wanted as little friction sa possible. I landed on Bazzite so that i didnt need to spend any time tinkering, and the little tinkering i needed to was easy to do with claudes help. Ive used to just use the same a my daily driver (i use arch btw), but i wanted something that "just worked". Really impressed with bazzite for the gaming streaming setup, kudos to that team and their great work.

Oh and i use a virtual display, which was easy to do in wayland.

Ive been using Moonlight on my Apple TV, with a 8bitdo controller connected to the Apple TV. My gaming computer is running bazzite and runs Sunshine as streaming server and it handles basically any game. I did use Steam Remote Control earlier but i found it quite unstable and slow compared to Sunshine which basically just works out of the box. Ive beaten Silk song and Elden ring on the setup. Its just wired 1gb networking. In the future i might upgrade to faster networking to get down the latency but its not really needed as long as i dont stream in 4k (my computer doesnt really do 4k that well anyway). The computer(s) have nvidia and amd gpus, both work just as fine.

Im continuing my work on my apps but ive decided to focus extra on these two the past month and will focus on it more in this month. 1. https://myvisualroutine.com which i just also recently launched on Android after an extensive testing period. Its so great to hear from parents who find my app useful for them and their family, thats what its all about! 2. https://stao.app i recently added some simple workouts between positions just to get some stretches in, i found it really helpful and ive gotten great feedback from my users 3. Besides those, i have other apps in https://tskulbru.dev/portfolio/ which i will rotate to probably in july and try and expand them more.

My main focus currently is MyVisualRoutine (https://myvisualroutine.com) — a visual schedule app for non-verbal children, kids with autism/ADHD, or anyone who benefits from picture-based routines. Parents can build routines from a library or their own photos. Free tier is generous; paid unlocks unlimited routines and a few extras. Available on iOS and Android. I've gotten a lot of great feedback from other parents and caregivers, im so glad it can help so many other than just our family!

Stao (https://stao.app) — a simple stopwatch/timer for standing desk users. Nags you to stand, tracks your streak, zero setup. macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android.

Linetris (https://apps.apple.com/app/id6759858457) — daily puzzle where you fill an 8×8 grid with Tetris-like pieces to clear lines. Wordle-meets-Tetris with leaderboards.

Also slowly writing more on my blog at https://tskulbru.dev — mostly notes on side-project economics, Tauri, and whatever rabbit hole I fell into that week.

Following up the comment i made last month, I'm a solo dev building a handful of apps across different niches.

- Plask ( https://plask.dev ) — Google Analytics (GA4) connected analytics dashboard for people who ship multiple products. I got tired of manually checking separate GA4 properties for all my apps and SaaS projects, and setting up individual MCP integrations for each felt like overkill when I just wanted a quick overview. So I built a single dashboard that connects all your GA4 properties, runs statistical anomaly detection, sends alerts when something breaks, and generates AI weekly digests. Free tier for 2 properties, Pro at $9/mo.

- Kvile ( https://kvile.app ) — A lightweight desktop HTTP client built with Rust + Tauri. Native .http file support (JetBrains/VS Code/Kulala compatible), Monaco editor, JS pre/post scripts, SQLite-backed history. Sub-second startup. MIT licensed, no cloud, your requests stay on your machine. Think Postman without the bloat and login walls.

- APIDrift ( https://apidrift.dev ) — Monitors changelogs for APIs, SDKs, and libraries you depend on so you don't get blindsided by upstream breaking changes. Scrapes docs, diffs changes, classifies severity with AI, and sends digest emails. Track your dependencies, get alerted when something breaks. Free tier covers 3 sources with weekly digests. Built with Next.js, Supabase, and Gemini Flash.

- Mockingjay ( https://apps.apple.com/app/id6758616261 ) — iOS app that records video and streams AES-256-GCM encrypted chunks to your Google Drive in real-time. By the time someone takes your phone, the footage is already safe in the cloud. Built for journalists, activists, and anyone who needs tamper-proof evidence. Features a duress PIN that wipes local keys while preserving cloud backups, and a fake sleep mode that makes the phone look powered off during recording.

- Stao ( https://stao.app ) — A simple sit/stand reminder for standing desk users. Runs in the system tray, tracks your streaks, zero setup. Available on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android.

- MyVisualRoutine ( https://myvisualroutine.com ) — This one is personal. I have three kids, two with severe disabilities. Visual schedules (laminated cards, velcro boards) are a lifeline for non-verbal children, but they're a nightmare to manage and they don't leave the house. So I built an app that lets you create a full visual routine in about 20 seconds and take it anywhere. Choice boards, First/Then boards, day plans, 50+ preloaded activities, works fully offline. Free tier is genuinely usable. Available on iOS and Android.

- Linetris ( https://apps.apple.com/app/id6759858457 ), a daily puzzle game where you fill an 8x8 grid with Tetris-like pieces to clear lines. Think Wordle meets Tetris. Daily challenges, leaderboards, and competititve play against friends.

And much more, you can find more on my blog https://tskulbru.dev , im even doing an agentic workflow course for those who havent gotten started doing that yet. Although I guess most people here have :)

Off-topic but, what are people using to create those video animations seen in the "ISS orbit tracking dashboard" example? Looks pretty nice! Im guessing Google uses a whole building of UX people but ive seen similar videos from small indie startups too, or even 1 person SaaS.

> I believe shopping malls often use such signals (wifi, bluetooth) to track what your travel pattern through the mall is. They know what section of the store you spend most of your time in and what storefronts you stall at.

Yes, I remember Cisco had a product like this all the way back in 2011. They could pinpoint a customer to an exact position inside a store using triangulation, they would know which shelf you spent time in front of etc. In the 15 years since then, I expect the technology is much scarier and intrusive.

Nice thing about Stao is that even though its targeted towards users of standing-desk, just the whole part of standing up and walking about a bit is hugely helpful for you back. Anyway, thanks for the kinds words!
