I get what you’re saying, but I see it a bit differently. Distribution on major platforms definitely adds a layer of trust, but it’s not the only source of it. Trust doesn’t just come from security or where something is hosted it also comes from your reputation and connection with your audience. Your presence, consistency, and the quality of your work matter just as much. From my perspective, whether I host an app myself or publish it through a store, the difference in downloads isn’t always huge it often depends more on how well people know and trust me already. So my approach is to focus on building that trust first: through my name, my work, and how I show up online. Platforms earn trust over time through their track record, and I think developers can do the same. For now, I’d rather keep shipping, sharing my work, and building that connection with people while using whatever hosting I can. Then, when I move to store distribution, it becomes more of an upgrade not the foundation.

Once @atocodes finds it problematic publishing and distributing your own work without paying for the platforms, also it is easy to put it on your website but still that's hard, one it can't be trusted and also it can't be known and distributed as you want and me now am on that place trying to publish it, and since this is cmd app am trying to use winget for windows, brew for mac and the linux package manager too as the OS, so i'll update you if there is a way of publishing your own app easily and freely, and will share you the ups and downs😵‍💫

Learning Go as a side project. Built a CLI tool for removing duplicate files via hash comparison: keeps originals, deletes copies, supports recursive scans, exclusions, size filters (KB/MB/GB), JSON output, safe handling of inaccessible files, and progress feedback. Goal: build a game engine using Go as its scripting language.

Been playing around with IK in Godot 4.6 👀 Started building a Brain Wall style prototype. The idea is simple but fun: * Tilt your phone left/right to move the character * Hands, legs, and torso have draggable points * You touch + drag → IK handles the whole body movement So instead of animating everything manually, the body just follows the targets in real time. Feels pretty smooth already on mobile. This is part of my Melkam Studios journey 🔥 Next: make the movement more natural + add actual gameplay (walls, timing, etc.) IK is actually way more powerful than I expected.

Finally 😃

After the holidays I finally realized it’s time for a new me. The last couple weeks have been a nightmare—so tough that I felt pretty broken. But I’m trying to flip the script and make some much‑needed changes. I’m starting with my hair; it’s grown out wild and I’ve basically let myself go. I feel messy both inside and out, so I’m going to start taking better care of myself. After that I’m thinking about upgrading my style to something more professional—maybe even suits and boots, lol. It’s a tiny step, but I hope it’ll make me feel more put together. I’ve been MickyCodes, and I know I’ve been MIA on the channel. It’s been hard not sharing what’s going on, and the post drought has been real. Still, I’m ready to come back and share my journey. Thank God I’m alive. #self-care #personal growth #style change #mental health #comeback

I’ve been mulling over whether Slack or GitHub Projects is the simpler way to keep stuff organized. I keep asking myself which one actually makes the workflow smoother and feels less clunky. Honestly, I’m still on the fence, but I’m leaning toward the tool that lets me see everything at a glance without too many extra steps. #productivity #tool comparison #Slack #GitHub #workflow

I’ve been thinking a lot about how modern C++ actually shows up in the real world. It feels like the language is finally catching up with the needs of big‑tech and startups alike—its newer syntax and library features make it more approachable, and performance‑critical teams are starting to lean on it for everything from low‑level systems to high‑frequency trading platforms. I’m realizing that companies are more willing to adopt it now because the tooling has improved and the community is pushing best‑practice guidelines, which helps cut down the learning curve. Still, there are plenty of legacy codebases and hiring challenges that keep some folks hesitant, but overall I’m optimistic about modern C++ finding its niche across various sectors. #Modern C++ #Software Development #Tech Industry #Programming #Usability
