Day 2/30 building in public 🚀 Office holiday today, so came to a coffee shop and got back to building Documind ☕️💻 Updates for today: • Fixed the Form Fill page. Earlier it was asking users to upload a file before even opening the page • Added pagination to the homepage • Tweaked the UI a bit for a cleaner design • Added ZIP download for batch transformations and compression Small improvements, but the product is slowly starting to take shape. Back to building. #buildinginpublic #Saas #Ai #codex #chatgpt #winterarc #PDF

If your every device , every app , every browser , everything is not in dark mode then you are not a true developer. agree?

This is my ride, Royal Enfield Classic 350 🏍️❤️ 24,000+ km clocked 🛣️ and this bike has seen everything. 🌧️ Every weather 🏢 Office rides 🎉 Parties 🤝 Meetups 🛒 Grocery runs 🏍️ And countless random rides with no destination And it has never betrayed me. 💪 Every time I start it and go for a ride, there’s something about that steady, strong feeling of a Classic 350. ⚙️ Almost 200kg 🔩 Mostly metal 💪 Built like a tank Not just a bike anymore. Too many memories attached to it ❤️ I love this machine. @royalenfield #RoyalEnfield #Classic350 #RoyalEnfieldClassic350 #BikeLife #Motorcycle

Day 3/30 building in public 🚀 Got quite a few things done today. First, gave my portfolio website a proper update: • Changed the complete theme • Finally added my DP • Added images/screenshots of my work • Added Documind to my projects Portfolio is pretty much ready now: atulchauhan.dev 🌐 For Documind: • Made some more UI tweaks • Ran multiple tests to make sure everything is working properly • Looking into queue-based batch processing for document conversion/compression • Thinking of redesigning the form fields to make them cleaner and easier to understand Spent quite some time researching how I want to handle batch processing before actually implementing it. Build → Test → Break → Fix → Repeat 🔁 #AI #buildinginpublic #chatgpt #Saas #codex #startup #portfolio

While I’m working on fixing my diet and staying consistent with exercise, one thing seems to be going pretty well. Sleep score: 96 😴 Good food. Good workouts. Good sleep. Trying to get all three right, one day at a time. #WinterArc #SleepScore #FitnessJourney #HealthyLifestyle #SelfImprovement

1,100 followers ❤️ Might just be a number for some, but knowing that 1,100 people decided to follow along means a lot to me. I’ve been sharing everything here. Building my SaaS, fitness, coding, random thoughts, wins, failures and everything in between. Thank you to everyone who follows, replies, likes, gives advice or just silently watches the journey. Really appreciate every one of you ❤️ We keep building. We keep growing. 🚀 #1100Followers #BuildInPublic #SaaS #Developer #FitnessJourney #BuildingInPublic

If there’s one food I’d personally call a superfood, it’s eggs 🥚 Simple, cheap and packed with nutrition: • High-quality protein • All 9 essential amino acids • Vitamin B12 • Vitamin D • Choline • Selenium • Healthy fats • Lutein & zeaxanthin And you can cook them in like 10 different ways. Hard to beat something this simple. #Eggs #Nutrition #HealthyEating #Fitness #Protein #WinterArc

No gym today, so I went for a run instead. Tried a HIIT style run pushed my heart rate up to around 180-185 BPM, stopped running and let it recover, then pushed it back up again. Repeated the cycle throughout the run. Quick 2.49 km run. Definitely felt the intensity. 🏃‍♂️ #HIIT #Running #FitnessJourney

Started this challenge on October 1st. And this time I’ve decided to share the whole journey here on X. 🏋️ My fitness goals 💻 Building my SaaS 🚶‍♂️ The daily habits 🎸 Things I’m learning 📈 The wins and the failures And everything else happening along the way. Not just the final results. I want to share the process too. To everyone who follows, interacts, gives advice or just watches the journey, thank you for being a part of it ❤️ A lot to build. A lot to improve. Let’s see where this journey takes me. #BuildInPublic #WinterArc #SaaS #FitnessJourney #IndieHacker

Lunch today: Caesar salad🥗 + lemonade. Trying something new with my diet. Keeping breakfast and lunch mostly low-carb and saving most of my carbs for the evening. Protein looks a little missing here, but had 5 whole eggs in the morning 🥚 Still figuring out what works best for me. One day at a time 💪 #HealthyEating #WinterArc #FitnessJourney #HealthyLifestyle #CleanEating

Everyone is going on trips this long weekend 🏔️🚗 I decided to do the opposite. Trips will be crowded, highways will be packed and since everyone is leaving, my city will probably be much quieter than usual. Clear roads. Less traffic. More peace. So instead of spending these 3 days travelling, I’m going to: 💻 Work on my SaaS 🏋️ Stick to my Winter Arc 🚶‍♂️ Complete my 10K steps 🎸 Practice guitar 📚 Learn and build 3 days. No excuses. Let’s see how much I can get done. #winterarc #Saas #buildinginpublic #Ai #codex #chatgpt

Winter Arc Day 1 ✅ 10,000 steps done 🚶‍♂️ Gym wasn’t enough to hit the 10K mark, so went out for a long walk to finish what I promised myself. Day 1 done. We go again tomorrow 💪 #winterarc #fitness #workout

Building my own SaaS while working on backend has made me realize how important scalability is 📈 It’s not just about handling more users, but choosing a stack that can scale without breaking everything later. One thing I’m learning though: going microservices from day one might be unnecessary complexity and cost 💸 Maybe the better approach is: 🏗️ Build a solid modular architecture 📈 Scale 🔍 Find the actual bottlenecks ⚙️ Move to microservices where actually needed Trying to think about scale without overengineering for users I don’t even have yet. #Saas #buildinginpublic #AI #codex #chatgpt #pdf

Gym done ✅ Went after a long break, so kept it simple and did a mix of exercises today. Before leaving, my mind was giving me 10 different reasons to just go for a run and skip the gym Thankfully didn’t listen to it. Getting there was the hardest part. Once I started, it felt good.

Day 1/30 building in public 🚀 Started building Documind this morning and the first draft is already running. Current stack: • Node.js • Python for document processing • PostgreSQL • JWT auth Got the first version done with Codex. Now I’ll be going through the architecture and making structural changes myself because there are quite a few loopholes in the first implementation. The UI also needs a LOT of work. Not really happy with what Codex came up with . For batch processing, I’m planning to add some sort of queue/message broker later. Haven’t decided what to use yet. Also, “Documind” is just a temporary name. Looking for someone interested in collaborating on the UI/design side🤝. Open to advice, suggestions, criticism, anything. #Saas #buildinginpublic #development #codex #AI #pdf
