MindBuy: you want something, you park it, you wait. A day, a week, a month. Then you decide. Most of the time the urge is gone, and the app adds up what you didn't spend.
15 people use it. 3 subscribed. The irony is not lost on me.
What's missing is everyone else. How did you get strangers to actually find your app?

Auch spannend war mein letzter Friseurbesuch.
Erst beim Bezahlvorgang wurde, nachdem ich versucht habe mit Kreditkarte zu bezahlen, daraufhingewiesen, dass nur EC Karte möglich ist.
"Das Gerät kann keine Kreditkarte", war dann der Kommentar der Friseurin.
Da ich kein Bargeld dabei hatte und keine EC Karte besitze, wurde mir immerhin eine Papierrechnung ausgedruckt, die ich dann überweise durfte. Trinkgeld war darüber natürlich nicht möglich.
Ganz wild und mein letzter Besuch, auch wenn die Haare schön waren 🤣👌
Ich war gerade 5 Tage auf einem Yoga Festival und mega dankbar, dass es (fast) ausschliesslich veganes Essen und Getränke an den Ständen gab. Super viel Auswahl zwischen Burgern, Curry und Kuchen. Einfach schön 😊
Ich habe vor etwa einem Jahr ein (Buch)-Projekt angefangen und mittlerweile so 4-5 Kapitel geschrieben. Gerne würde ich das erste Kapitel vorstellen und freue mich auf euer Feedback:
„Faszinierend“ – das ist das erste Wort, das mir einfällt.
Es ist mitten in der Nacht. Ich sitze auf einem Sessel in meinem Pensionszimmer. Ich bin müde und zugleich hellwach.
Mein Blick wandert durch den Raum. In der Mitte des kleinen Zimmers steht ein Bett. „Komfortabel übernachten“ verspricht das verwitterte Schild draußen an der Landstraße. Allerdings kann ich nicht erkennen, was daran komfortabel sein soll. Mit Mühe und Not fänden zwei Erwachsene darin Platz. Da auf dem Bett nur ein einziges winziges Kissen liegt, vermute ich, dass sich ohnehin selten jemand hierher verirrt, der nicht allein reist. Wer hier hält, ist müde und will nur ein paar Stunden Schlaf, bevor es weitergeht. Generell würde es mich sehr wundern, wenn jemand länger als eine Nacht bliebe.
Mein Blick schweift über die dunkle Holzvertäfelung, über eine vergilbte Tapete mit verblasstem Blumenmuster, und bleibt schließlich an meinen Händen kleben. Ich betrachte die Innenseite, aus Reflex neigt sich mein Kopf leicht nach links. Als ob ich mich gerade auf einer Vernissage befände und mich kritisch dem Gemälde eines Kunstausstellers widmete. Diese zarten Linien. Am unteren Zeigefinger sind es drei Stück, und am Rand der Hand werden sie zu einer. Sie werden von einer Kerbe durchkreuzt, die von der unteren Handfläche nach oben zieht. Wie ein Kunstwerk, in dem ungleichmäßige Linien von einer einzigen „gestört“ werden. Merkwürdig, dass mir diese Analogie durch den Kopf schießt. Ich bin bei Weitem nicht kunstinteressiert. Gemälde verwirren mich. Diese unklaren Strukturen. Diese vielen Farben. Meine Vermutung ist, dass Kunstschaffende auf Drogen sein müssen, um ihre Werke zu schaffen. Aber sie haben es mit ihren Händen gemalt. Gemacht mit ihren eigenen Händen. So wie ich. Ich habe es mit meinen eigenen Händen gemacht. Allein bei diesem Gedanken stellen sich die kleinen Härchen an meinen Armen auf. Ich bekomme Gänsehaut, und ein leichter Schauer jagt durch meinen Körper. Ich schließe die Augen, um den Moment zu genießen. Ich atme tief ein.
Einige Leute sagen, dass es für sie ein unangenehmes Gefühl wäre, wenn sie Gänsehaut bekommen. Sie beschreiben es wie ein Frösteln, das sie durchfährt. Wenn man sie dann fragt, wie sie dieses Gefühl beschreiben würden, fällt ihnen sofort ein Wort ein: Angst.
So aber nicht bei mir. Ich empfinde das beschriebene Frösteln eher wie das Überkommen von Wärme.
Ich mag das Gefühl … Das Gefühl von Angst … in mir.
Erneut schießt Adrenalin durch meinen Körper. Ein starkes Ziehen durchfährt meinen Bauch. Es zieht sich von meinem Bauch über meine Brust bis in meine Gliedmaßen. Im Gegensatz zu anderen spüre ich keine Angst. Ich spüre Macht.
Ich möchte dieses Gefühl immer und immer wieder erleben. Ein tiefer Atemzug lässt das Gefühl allerdings wieder abflachen. Die Luft in meinem Zimmer ist stickig, nach dem Adrenalinschock schnappt mein Körper reflexartig nach Luft. Es riecht nach Schimmel. Wahrscheinlich ist es feucht hinter dem Holz. Ich stellte mir schon beim Beziehen des Zimmers die Frage, ob er echt sei. Der Schimmelgeruch bestätigt mir, dass er echt ist. Mein Blick fällt erneut auf meine Hand. Dieses Mal betrachte ich die Oberseite, ich fahre jeden Finger entlang. Bis ich etwas Schmutz an meinem Fingernagel entdecke, am linken Zeigefinger. Ich halte den Finger besser ins Licht. Da entdecke ich es. Ganz leicht schimmert es durch. Ein kleiner roter Fleck. Wenn man genau hinschaut, erkennt man es. Das Blut, das unter meinen Fingernägeln klebt.
I'm not a game developer. I work in IT, in a leadership role, and game dev was never going to be my job.
But there was this one idea I couldn't shake. I started playing Tribal Wars in 2003 and Diablo II a few years before that, and somewhere along the way I got stuck on a question: why has nobody ever put Diablo's loot system into a browser strategy game? Items that drop with rarities, random affixes, unique gear that breaks the rules — but in a game about building an empire, not swinging a sword.
For 20 years it stayed a "someday" thing. The kind of idea you mention to friends and never act on.
A few months ago I finally sat down and built it. It's called Argos Void — a browser-based space strategy MMO where you raid, build, form alliances, and every raid actually drops loot. No download, free, and loot is never purchasable because I grew up watching this genre die to pay-to-win.
It's not perfect and I'm sure there's a lot I'd do differently. But it exists now, and honestly that's the part that still feels a little unreal. A thing I daydreamed about for two decades is something people can actually play.
Alpha's live if anyone wants to poke at it: [argos-void.com]

I develop my own classical Browsergame.
25 years ago I fell in love with Tribal Wars, and I've been playing Diablo 2 since '99. So I decided to build something in between — in a brand-new setting. That's how Argos Void was born.
Build your own planets and fight other alliances and players with your own fleet of spaceships. Every ship can be equipped to make it stronger — loot weapons and shields with random stats from pirates or other players. Trading is a big focus too: items from common to unique, plus other tradeable goods.
The galaxy has 4 zones, each with its own hostile environment, so you need a dedicated shield for each zone to explore it. Play on a permanent world, or compete in time-limited season worlds.
Alpha Season ist complete free to play, I'm looking forward for your feedback

Involvement: Concept and idea
Quick story in case anyone's curious.
I studied media informatics but never finished, now working in IT management. Earlier this year I installed Unity again and wanted to build a 3D game — got to my limits pretty fast.
So I switched and asked myself a different question: what actually annoys me in daily life, and can I solve it?
I have two bank accounts — one for fixed costs, one for fun spending. And I noticed I was ordering a lot of stuff online and sending half of it back. Not because anything was wrong with it, but because I didn't actually need it. Just sitting on the couch in the evening, scrolling, clicking buy.
So the idea was: park purchases in an app first. Wait 14 days. Then check if I still want it.
On top of that, I'm planning a camping trip and need some gear — stuff that would blow my monthly fun budget if I bought it all at once. So spread it across months without going over budget.
All of that became MindBuy. Went live on the Play Store on May 21st.
You drop in a wish, either manually or by pasting a product link from Amazon or wherever — it pulls title and price automatically. Set a waiting period from one day up to three months. When the time is up, you get a reminder and decide: buy, discard, or park again. You see how much you've saved by not buying stuff. Premium has the monthly budget feature and the planning mode for things with a fixed target date.
Everything is local. No account, no cloud, no tracking. Premium is a one-time purchase, no subscription.
Pretty proud the thing is actually out there now. Happy about any feedback.
