it's not just you, people have different preferences and that's fine :D

in my case, I would never sell Benji to anyone else because my life literally depends on it. The business part is hard tho.

After years of building in public, I'm scared that you're right. But the problem is, my app is now live (benji.so), and it's publicly out there for people with VC money to start copying features from it ...

I 100% agree with you.

author here: for me it was important because after a while the app I was using was stale and wasn't shipping updates anymore. Also, as I was learning more about productivity, I reached the limits of the app. I wanted more features and I was coming up with tons of ideas that I could implement into my app, and other devs wouldn't care about implementing these ideas. I wanted control. So I finally shipped Benji (https://benji.so)

It's named after my dog Benji haha. Yes you're right, I'm not gonna mention any competitors, especially on a viral HN article :) There's a chance I might make a /comparison page in the future though.

Sorry to hear that. As someone who actually shipped a lot of things, i'm still going through the "I believe in it" and "don't believe in it" cycle almost daily. Don't let that stop you.

nah, back when I wrote this article tick tick was a super basic app. I've tried it a few times but it never clicked for me, not enough features.

I did! 2 years ago I launched Benji (https://benji.so) (but rewrote it from scratch this time)

It's not made up, I'm not using the competitor app for years, and I didn't want to give them more attention because this space is super competitive.

Author here! I need to update this article. Years later, I actually got motivated by the comments on HN (whenever this gets posted). P

People are always like "why don't you just ship your app?" ... so I did!

I'm happy I went through with and it's way WAY better than any competitor in this category

Check it out at https://benji.so (landing page is still w.i.p)

hey HN! thanks to whoever posted this. An update on this is that Sizzy is still going strong!

Lately I've been super busy with building [Benji](https://benji.so) which is a Life OS and organizes your habits, todos, routines, planner, fasting, meal tracking and a billion other features. I got tired of paying subscriptions for 31855 mediocre apps so I built a single master app that combines everything.

A lot of people ask me about my philosophy of shipping so I made [Zero To Shipped](https://zerotoshipped.com) which teaches the details of my stack along with my mindset about shipping paid products. So far there's 92 videos and 10 hours of content, but the final version will be more than 200 videos.

I hope I'm not violating some HN rules when I'm talking about the things that I made...

Feel free to AMA and I'd happy to answer your questions!

lmao if you see the amount of time I spend on reddit and twitter you'd revoke that statement

it's been 4 years since I wrote this ??? I feel old

Hey everyone! Creator of Sizzy here. I’d appreciate if before you reach conlcusions of the functionality of Sizzy you check out the landing page (sizzy.co) or the changelog page (sizzy.co/changelog)

We’re really trying to make the best browser for developers and we’d be so happy if you give it a chance.

There’s a lifetime deal for Sizzy on Dealify: https://www.dealify.com/sizzy/

Instead of a subscription, it’s a one-time purchase for $69, with a 30-day refund period if you’re not happy with the purchase.

Let me know if you have other questions!

Even though it doesn’t simulate multiple engines, it simulates resolution, pixel ratio, user agent string, browser UI, OS UI, device frame etc. So it gives you a much more accurate representation of what your website would look like than any other browser out there.

Also, simulating devices is one of the features, even if you don’t care about responsive design, there’s plenty of features that can speed up your development work.

Let me know if you have other questions!
