🏆 Builder of the Week

🏆 Builder of the Week

This week, we’re featuring a builder who’s quietly been shipping — JnanaVahini Labs. u/jnanavahini

They’ve already built and published multiple apps, including Kannada-focused games like Padabandha and Aliguli, with another 5–10 apps still waiting to be released.

this nostalgia games have app now..

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jnanavahini.games.aliguli

But the bigger question is:

Can this portfolio of apps become the foundation for a real startup?

They’re looking for honest feedback on:

  • What should they focus on?
  • Is there a bigger opportunity hidden in these apps?
  • Should they double down on one product or continue building multiple apps?
  • What would you do if you were in their position?

👇 Bangalore builders, founders, marketers, and product people — what would you suggest?

And if you’re building something yourself, drop it in the comments. You might be next week’s Builder of the Week.

i failed to achieve my goal and build something which might help

hey builders,

i start the year with goals i want to achive at the end of each year and by the end i become flat with lot of things to be achieved.

recntly i came across - a japanese method which will help to achive my goal and it goes by name HARADA method.

this method - guides individuals to break a major goal into eight core pillars, each supported by eight concrete, daily behaviors.

The result is a 64-cell “action matrix” that turns ambition into disciplined execution so i have build something in lovable - i hope this helps me toachieve my goal.

also i am validating is this right idea to build so that i can help people achieve goals before building this into product.

here is the link for the app - https://michi64.lovable.app/

i will be happy if i can help someone to achieve the goals with my app i am open for feedbacks from fellow builders

got 156 visitors, 18% bounce rate, 585 sips — here's what the data told me to fix

built chai time — a virtual tapri where you hold to sip chai with strangers anonymously.

posted here 1 day ago and here are my stats-

  • 156 unique visitors
  • 18% bounce rate
  • 50 second average visit duration
  • 102 people sipped, 585 total sips
  • 5.7 sips per person average
  • only 17 finished the full cup
  • 9 Ko-fi clicks

what the data told us:

1. the cup was too hard to finish
18 sips to empty was too many. only 10.8% finished. the share card and Ko-fi moment live at the end — so 89% of people never hit them. reduced to 10 sips.

2. the language was wrong for a global audience
64 of 156 visitors were Safari — mostly US iPhone users. the app had Hinglish everywhere. "adrak wali chai best hoti hai" means nothing to someone in California. replaced everything with English that keeps the chai culture but makes sense globally.

3. bounce rate was a lie
100% bounce rate 2 days ago panicked me. turned out we had zero custom events in Plausible. even if someone sipped 15 times Plausible saw nothing and called it a bounce. added 8 custom goal events. now we have real data.

4. Safari audio was still broken
64 iPhone users, sip sound erroring silently. Safari blocks audio even with file paths. fix was silently playing and pausing both audio files on first touch to unlock Safari's audio policy.

the product is simple. one mechanic. hold to sip. but getting the details right is everything.

happy to answer anything about the analytics setup or the fixes.

Built a virtual tapri where you can sip chai with strangers - free, anonymous, no login

The idea came from damta world - a site where people "smoke" cigarettes together online. I saw it and immediately thought - why is there no Indian version of this? Chai is literally our cigarette break. Every office, every college, every conversation starts with "chai peete hain?"

What it does:

  • Hold anywhere on screen to sip chai
  • Cup actually drains as you drink
  • Steam fades as cup empties
  • Anonymous floating chat no login, no name, nothing
  • When cup is empty, refill and go again

The design is full tapri aesthetic dark brown, burnt amber, monospace font, hard edges. Felt wrong to make it look like a generic SaaS app.

It's free. Always will be. There's a "buy me a kullad" button if you want to support it ☕

Would love honest feedback — what works, what's missing, what's broken.

SubRankr update: daily leaderboard is live

Pushed a new update to SubRankr today.

The biggest change is a daily leaderboard.

The daily challenge already gives everyone the same set each day, so adding a leaderboard made it feel much more like a shared puzzle instead of isolated score posting.

Now when you finish the daily, you can see today’s top scores right in the game.

This felt like the right next step after the early feedback around daily challenge retention and score comparison.

Would love to know what people here think, especially on whether this is the right direction for replayability

Updated SubRankr with a shared daily puzzle and category modes

Pushed a new update to SubRankr and wanted to share it here.

The strongest early feedback was around the daily challenge, so I leaned into that. Everyone gets the same set each day now, which makes score comparison way better.

I also added category-based classic runs like tech, sports, anime, gaming and random chaos.

It still has the same simple core loop, but it feels much more replayable now.

Would love to know what people here think, especially around retention and what feature should come next.
