Building an indie app business is a journey full of challenges, insights, and lessons learned. This channel is a behind-the-scenes look at my experience designing, developing, and growing Sofa, an iOS app that helps you be more intentional with your downtime.
I’m Shawn Hickman—a designer, developer, and indie app creator—sharing my process, what I’m working on, and the hard (and fun) parts of running a solo business. Whether it’s app development, YouTube, marketing, or unexpected lessons along the way, Worklog is an open journal of everything that goes into turning an idea into a sustainable indie business.
If you’re an indie maker, aspiring developer, or just curious about the process, tune in—and don’t hesitate to reach out! 👋

It’s been about 1 year since I quit my job and went full-time with Sofa (lol wut). I’m planning to make a video talking about the good, bad, things I’ve learned, etc.
If you have any questions you’d like to ask, I’d be happy to answer them in the video 👋

Starting to wrap up the week with a new weekly admin routine I'm trying out in Notion. This is a recurring task I have set to show up every Friday.

No video this week because I'm heads down working and prepping for a bigger announcement. In the meantime, enjoy a little preview of a new feature I'm building 👀.
