We're building Brew — an iPhone RSS reader for people drowning in feeds and newsletters.
Discover sources. AI summaries. Shareable reading lists. One calm place to actually read.

Building in public. Feedback welcome.
ALT Brew — a calm space to read RSS, newsletters, and AI summaries on iPhone
Most of the unread pile isn’t unread because you don’t care.
It’s because you can’t tell if it’s worth twenty minutes until you’ve already spent five.
A one-line summary first. Then decide whether to go deeper.
Building Brew — a calm home for RSS feeds & newsletters.
Experimenting with AI filmmaking.
Startups, AI, creative marketing: let's talk.

We built an iPhone reader for RSS, newsletters and podcasts. No ads, no algorithm, just the sources you pick.
Roast it. What's the one thing that would make you delete it?

Small tip: almost every Substack newsletter has an RSS feed.
Add /feed to the end of the address:
name.substack.com/feed
Newsletters stop competing with work email, and unsubscribing becomes one tap instead of hunting for the footer link.
Small RSS tip: every YouTube channel has its own feed.
youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml…
Drop it in any reader and new uploads show up in order. No homepage, no Shorts, no autoplay rabbit hole.
Which channel would you pull out of the algorithm first?
Honest — both are solid but different jobs. What feels off for you right now: discovery, unread pile, or the reading UI itself?
Building in public: the hard part of an RSS reader isn’t parsing feeds.
It’s discovery — helping someone find sources worth following without an algorithm ranking what they see.
We’re betting on curated lists you choose in one tap. Curious what you wished existed when you built your first feed stack.
Saved for later isn't a library.
It's a parking lot. Most cars never leave.
Once a week I pick three saves and decide: read now, or delete.
The pile gets honest again.
What's still sitting in yours?
Most "discovery" is just noise with better branding.
What actually works: fewer sources you chose, and a calm place for what's unread.
Brew is our bet on that — RSS for iPhone.

RSS tip: unfollow aggressively.
A quiet feed still costs attention every time it shows up unread.
If you haven't opened it in a month, it's not a source — it's clutter.
What's the last feed you cut?
Discovered water, started a newsletter — too real. Half the internet is packaging basic habits as a product. The other half is drowning in those newsletters.
If your friend can vibe-code the whole product this weekend, the moat was never the CRUD screens. Distribution and taste still decide who wins.
The silence after posting is the hardest part. We treat build-in-public like a lab notebook, not a launch — one honest update beats ten polished ones nobody replies to.
Building in public sounds exciting until you actually start doing it.
You share your project.
You tell people what you’re working on.
You explain your vision.
And then comes the uncomfortable part.
People might ignore your post.
Nobody might download your app.
You might spend days working on something that gets almost no attention.
You start wondering whether you’re doing something wrong.
I’m experiencing the learning curve firsthand while building Dhaka Metro Rail.
I’m a first-time founder. I’m still figuring out product development, user acquisition, testing, and marketing.
I don’t have a big audience or a team of experts guiding every decision.
I have an idea, a product I’m working to improve, and a willingness to keep learning.
And perhaps that’s enough to start.
I’m trying to remind myself that the early stage isn’t about looking successful.
It’s about collecting evidence, improving my skills, and getting a little better with every attempt.
Some posts will perform well. Others won’t.
Some ideas will work. Others will teach me what not to do.
I want to share both sides of the journey.
Because I’m not building in public to pretend I have everything figured out. I’m building in public to figure things out.

112 rounds and 18 players is a painful-but-clear signal: retention isn’t the bottleneck, discovery is. Day-1 posting is the right uncomfortable habit.
my game works. the people who play it, play it a lot.
one player got 112 rounds in a row.
total players: 18.
the problem was never the game. nobody knows it exists.
so I'm doing the part every solo dev avoids: showing it every day.
day 1. free on the app store 👇

This is the whole game for indie iOS. Building is hard; getting the first 50 real users who come back is harder. Curious what channel actually worked for your first ten downloads.
Getting real users for your apps on the App Store is HARD.
Building the app is one challenge. Getting people to discover it, download it, and keep using it is another.
Indie developers, how are you getting your first real users?

Your unread list isn't a to-do list.
It's a maybe pile. That's fine.
Pick one saved article. Give it 10 minutes. Keep it if it's useful; let it go if it isn't.
What's the last thing you saved and never opened?
