I built an IOS (Android soon) app for alternate-day fasting. It's 100% free, requires no login, keeps all your data with you, and looks / functions nicely (if I do say so myself, since I use it daily). There's also an Apple Watch version.

Anyway, I'd be grateful if people used it and shared any feedback on improvements, bugs, etc. You can download it from the App Store on your iPhone. It is under the name "I Fast Different".

Twice daily, I get a call from Max Audio. It looks exactly like a phone call, and if I answer, I hear dogs barking. This happens at 10:05 am and 4:05 pm DAILY.

As it turns out, it's an app that does this, at least according to this post: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255491170?sortBy=rank

Seems who ever had this problem found the app that was causing this. But the app is not mentioned.

Does anyone know which app causes this??

Hey everyone, here's something I'm gearing up to do in June. I'm trying to figure out if this is even something that I should do? From reading some posts here about AI deleting production DBs, and all sorts of issues, I feel like something like this is needed. Could really like some "roasting" of this idea.

The Problem
Solopreneurs and makers are shipping AI-built apps that are broken, buggy, or straight-up dangerous. I'm a software dev (35+ years) turned CTO/CISO, and I keep watching the same pattern play out: someone vibes out an app with Cursor or Claude, ships it, gets users... and then it disappears, breaks, or leaks sensitive data within weeks. That's not a business, that's a liability with a landing page.

Or it never sees light of day. There's a huge gap between building something and having it run on your PC and "Production". I wonder how many token are burned here.

The gap isn't "how do I prompt the AI." There's a million YouTube videos for that. The gap is everything around the code: architecture decisions you can't easily undo, cloud costs that quietly murder your margins, security holes you don't know exist, and the planning work that's actually 80% of shipping something real. AI will happily help you build the wrong thing very efficiently if you let it.

The Solution
A 4-week live cohort (2 sessions/week, ~2 hours each — 16-20 hours total) that walks solopreneurs through actually shipping a web OR mobile app with AI tools, the right way.

• Using AI as a collaborator — getting it to follow good practices even if you're not a developer
• Project planning (the unsexy 80% of the work)
• Cloud cost reality — what happens when you let AI pick your AWS/Azure setup, and how to not get a surprise $4k bill
• Code reviews and testing — what to actually look for
• Security — the part everyone skips and later regrets

Live, not recorded, on purpose:

1. Cohorts have start/end dates, which means people actually finish (looking at you, dusty Udemy library)
2. The AI tooling landscape mutates every three weeks — recordings rot fast
3. Real-time Q&A on your specific project beats watching me type

Pricing: $500-$1500/cohort (not sure yet), but the first two cohorts are free.  I'm looking for people who would take this and provide feedback/testimonials.  And not just at the end, but BEFORE.  I'm looking for topics people are interested in learning about.  People who are not developers, who are struggling with AI right now.

Roast Me
Tell me where this falls apart:

• Is the "AI for solopreneurs" space already saturated with something like this?
• Is $500-$1500 too low, too high, or am I undervaluing the CTO/CISO angle?  Not a lot of people cover security concerns.  No one talks about building the right way. I think both are super important.
• Is 16-20 hours the right amount or should it be longer or shorter?  I used to teach at a college where I did 3 hour sessions with students face-to-face.  People would be tired after 2 hours, so I purposefully don't want to make these sessions to long.  Want to get in, cover some topics, give people takeaways, and answer any questions.
• Would you actually pay for this, or does "live cohort" make you want to close the tab?

I'm planning on running this in evenings, so those with day jobs and dreams can make the class.

For context, I have 15 courses on Pluralsight, 1 on Dometrain (second coming soon), a course on TCM Security academy - those are my video courses.  I've taught face-to-face at Bergen Community College, County College of Morris, Rutgers University, UNLV and College of Southern Nevada.  I'm a Microsoft Certified Trainer as well, so I can explain technical topics to anyone interested.
