Couple of weeks of efficient coding together with Gemini and OpenAI produced my final 360D website. The primary work was dedicated to the products page within the 360D website. It was inspiring to understand the limits of AI in producing HTML, CSS and JS code. So Gemini definitely wins in HTML and CSS - as well as the design, and OpenAI (ChatGPT) wins the JS and professional investigator part. The most other work was mainly the linkage between the pages (knowledge hub articles and products) which is done via hashes now. The most troubles did cause the animations via CSS and JS which produced the insights.

These were clean-up days. The most top page of 360d.world was renewed and converted! Now it is official - I want to focus on creating a digital space around my development process. These logs will be a weekly reminder to myself that the business is continued and should have a same meaning as a heart beat.

My new focus will be the creation of a digital space around my development process. The main aim will be to create a Knowledge Hub that reflects my decision process on tools or technology I use. But today, I also had struggle on how to manage the side-goal of finding an intelligent way to decide which features have to be implemented since users should be happy to have downloaded my apps. The key thoughts were to include external tools and platforms as reddit where users can upvote for a feature.

The results from last week need to be evaluated now. Therefore, I will re-think all the work done in the last months and make a decision on how to continue. The most significant evolvement in the last weeks was the enrichment of all websites by SEO. Thus, the key achievement will be to evaluate how to utilize what works and to ban or to improve what did fail.

Since I am still in struggle with indexing of my informational page 360d.online about app's domain, now I did add indexing for bing.com and yandex.com to already existing google.com search results. Additionally, the tool with indexing information from ahref.com did tell me that the images sizes are too large. This is frustrating and I found a modern solution to resize the images based on resolution of the calling device / web browser. Now all the pictures are resized by my server automatically via NGINX. Awesome!

The update contains small bugfixes and the final finish of the app. It is not enough to see the access logs of NGINX to understand the traffic, thus, I did add Google Analytics to my informational page about app's domain. As well as two new articles for up-to-date google.com search results. I like it that google already shows my site in results for keywords like "hitzewelle" and "diy"!

Cheating on ASO by using a niche domain does not work! At least after so much work and after delivering an app for a niche domain - it is still hard to be found on the App Store! Well I decided to link google.com search results with a new website in the middle of this chain. The new informational page about app's domain (360d.online) will serve up-to-date content. This content will focus on answerthepublic.com most searched questions for my app's domain (DIY) in combination with past days top trends of google.com. This website will be build with AI and plain HTML and CSS since Google does not like Flutter Web!

New version 1.0.3 of "Problem? Solve It" App is published. The update contains a full renew of the flow how user solves problems. I found out that users want to be guided through the process of problem-solving. Therefore, a consistent chat now replaces the step where the app user has to analyse its problem and then to manually clarify open questions.

First version 1.0.1 of "Daily DIY Reminder" App is published on the App Store. I had success to develop and to publish the app in only 8 days! The key was the extensive use of AI for screens, use cases and repositories.

New version 1.0.2 of "Problem? Solve It" App is published. The update contains small bugfixes and new keywords for ASO. This way I hope more people can find this app on the App Store.

The ASO for my app is kinda not working! People do not find the app, and now I have the idea that it is easier to have unique search results in a niche domain. So I decided to create an app for the trend DIY based on the already provided code of the previous app. It is not going to be a copy-paste since I will need completely new features, but I want to try to re-use the app's foundation and to use the AI to create new screens and new logic quickly.

First version of "View Votes" is finished. I cannot publish it since Bundestag has to verify that I can show its content to German community. The key insights of the process of converting an old Flutter app to the newest version were that it is pretty hard, and I am not sure anymore if it will be possible to convert my old apps or even to get them to run again. I am happy that everything worked out, especially adding Micro-Services based on the existing infrastructure of "Problem? Solve It!".

Now it is time to continue with another app which I already had develop before. "View Votes" is an app to show the current results of German's parliament (Bundestag) decisions. The main task will be to update the dependencies from a pretty old Flutter project and to extend the infrastructure by a simple shelf Dart backend.

First version 1.0.1 of "Problem? Solve It" App is published on the App Store. This is my first app which I did launch successfully on the App Store. For Google Play Store I will wait a bit because I want to test it on Apple first.

After a couple of days I was successful in having a full architecture of microservices which run in Docker, are build with Dart and are accessible by NGINX. I did build a mail agent, a proxy server and privacy policy serving microservices that are now part of my mono-repo. The build is simple via my Gitlab CI/CD pipeline which pushes the updated code to my server and where it builds and runs the new microservices. It feels awesome to have a full Dart / Flutter code base, not just for the frontend but also for the backend.

Once I did the error to store API key in the app's storage, but right now, I feel it is definitely a better approach to use a backend for this key. I did search on google.com and ask AI for a solution, and then, I found a very good solution. A proxy server done in Dart. Its name is shelf-proxy, and it is a really cool package for creating Dart Microservices as a backend.

The app needs a professional distribution DevOps. Thus, I decided to continue to use codemagic.io for my CI/CD pipelines. Now, I push on Gitlab and a couple of minutes later I see my app in the right groups on TestFlight. Additionally, I use Melos for the architecture of my Flutter packages.

The first steps are done to integrate OpenAI into my problem-solving process. I decided to use threads as a room for a problem. User does not see it, but there is no lost of information during the use of different tools as the chat with AI. My apps architecture allows to add OpenAI Assistants for each interaction step. I instruct the most Assistants to respond in JSON - so I can use the new information programmatically and additionally to the OpenAI Thread I am able to store information in app's database.

It is time to begin the adventure of creation of apps. I already did develop Flutter apps as for my private use and for a larger company. During my employment the publication process was easy since I had no tasks as the creation of privacy policy or the design of UX. Now I have to do it alone. My first app will be the foundation for my future development process. Its aim is to solve problems, all kind of problems!
