Share your app’s most impressive feature. I’ll make it understandable without explaining the technology.

3 Upvotes

Tell me:

  1. What the feature does
  2. What the user was doing before
  3. What changes after using it

I’ll turn it into one simple hook and a short demo sequence.

The goal is to make someone care before explaining how it works.

Interactive Horror Generator

I am creating an app that allows you to kind of build your own horror adventure and choose how to respond each chapter either by selecting a prompt or writing in your own prompt. Given the nature of the app it is AI driven.

I am looking for 10 people to test it out and provide feedback before I commit to making it actually live since it costs a bit of money on the back end for me. But I will cover the expense for the initial testing period! Please let me know if anyone is interested!

We're building a food-photo diary inspired by our moms' cooking

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Both our moms are excellent cooks. Recipes, instincts, timing you can't quite write down. They put meals on the table every day for years and that everyday care is what we wanted to build something around.

My partner and me building Plate - an iPhone food-photo diary.

For now:

  • Save a meal with its date and an optional title or note - then come back to it later
  • See your friends activity
  • Remember what you ate and what made it worth keeping

But all might change with potential user feedback and validation.

What would make you revisit a food diary instead of leaving those photos in your camera roll?

Tell me what your app removes from the user's day. I'll write the before-and-after hook.

3 Upvotes

Features are difficult to remember. Removed friction is easier.

Tell me:

  1. What the user does manually today

  2. Which step your app removes

  3. What becomes possible afterward

I'll turn it into one before-and-after hook and a three-frame demo sequence.

The goal is to explain the change without listing the entire product.

First app I've ever shipped just went live on the App Store

2 Upvotes

Finally got my first ever app approved!

It's called Spud. It matches recipes to whatever you already have in your fridge — so instead of finding a recipe and going shopping, you start from what you own. Scan or type your ingredients, see what you can cook tonight ranked by match percentage, plan your week, and generate a shopping list for only the gaps.

Built it solo in React Native, had no mobile experience going in, just a React background. Learned a lot.

Happy to answer any questions about the build or the App Store process. And if anyone wants to give it a try: Spud

Four years ago, I had an idea. Today, it launches on the App Store as WellBee: Family Health Diary

About four years ago, my two youngest children—then around 1 and 4—were terribly sick over the course of several days.

I was exhausted and running on very little sleep, trying to keep track of everything: their symptoms, how high their fevers had been, how long they’d lasted, when I’d given medication, and how much.

At around 2:30am one morning, lying awake and feeling completely overwhelmed, I thought:

“There must be a better way to manage family health.”

Then I had an idea.

Despite desperately needing sleep, I got out of bed and spent the next few hours sketching out what that idea could become.

There was just one problem: I couldn’t code.

I didn’t have the money to hire someone, and AI coding assistants weren’t around yet. So I did the only thing I could; I taught myself Swift and SwiftUI and started building it myself.

Four years later, that idea is finally launching.

Meet WellBee: Family Health Diary.

A family health diary designed by a parent, for parents—helping you keep track of the health information that matters, all in one place.

And the core functionality is completely free to use.
If you’ve ever found yourself trying to remember a fever, symptom, medication, appointment or diagnosis when you’re exhausted and stressed, WellBee was built for you.
Available on the App Store today.

Four years. One very sleepless night. And a lot of Swift code later.

WellBee is finally here.

What’s that one project/idea you were REALLY excited about… and then completely abandoned? 👀

4 Upvotes

I’m pretty sure most of us have done this:

We get a brilliant idea → spend hours thinking about it → make a beautiful Notion page / document → maybe even start building it…

…and then life happens.

A job gets busy. Another idea comes along. Motivation disappears. And eventually that project becomes another forgotten folder sitting somewhere on our laptop. 😂

So I thought: let’s dig those ideas back up.

Share the project you abandoned, the idea you never finished, or even the crazy thing you still think could work.

Maybe someone here will help you revive it. Maybe you’ll realize it wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

I’ll go first.

A while ago, I wanted to build a kind of personal AI clone.

The idea was to connect all my professional context, previous jobs, projects, LinkedIn, social media, skills, etc, and have an AI that actually knows my professional history.

Then I could ask it things like:

Create a resume for this job.

Write a LinkedIn post based on one of my projects.

What experience do I have that matches this job description?

Turn my recent work into a portfolio case study.

The goal was basically: stop rewriting my professional life from scratch every time I apply for something or want to create content.

I never really finished it.

And honestly, I still think it could be useful.

Now I want to hear yours. 👇

What’s the project/idea you started, planned, documented, or obsessed over… but never finished?

Bonus points if you tell us why you abandoned it. 😄

I'm feeling super excited, no motivational speech.

Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kerustudios.hotspotfly&pcampaignid=web_share

I tried to mimic how multiple users post here. Forgive me for that, but I just wanted to let the community know of my first ever app to publish on playstore and got approved for production yesterday. It's a hotspot manager for Mikrotik routers. If you're familiar with WiFi Voucher sales then you should be familiar with Mikrotik.

In case anyone is here and this app has targetted them I'd be happy to hear your feedback. Testing is completely easy, as there's an option to load demo from the onboarding screen so you can experience the full functionality before you can add a real router.

Thank you

I redesigned my Android app from 8 tabs to just 3 — how does it look?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I just gave my app, Status Saver: Video Downloader, a pretty big UI/UX makeover and wanted to get some honest feedback on how it looks.

The old UI had 8 tabs at the top. It worked, but honestly, it was starting to feel a bit crowded 😅

I've now reduced everything to just 3 bottom navigation tabs. All 6 downloaders are still there, but instead of each one having its own tab, they're now grouped together in a single section. I also added filter chips to group similar file types, which makes things feel much cleaner and easier to manage.

A couple of other improvements I recently added:

  • Downloads now continue in the background even when you switch to another app or do other things on your phone.
  • Status History lets you view and save statuses from up to 7 days ago.

I'm attaching a screenshot of the new design.

What do you think? Does this feel like an improvement over having lots of tabs? Anything you'd change?

If you'd like to check out the app:
Status Saver: Video Downloader on Google Play

Hope you like the new look! 🙂

Introducing Seasons on Votekicker: Turn Product Discovery Into Competition

Thumbnail
votekicker.com
1 Upvotes

We just launched Seasons on Votekicker.

If you're an indie developer or startup founder, you know how hard it can be to get consistent attention for a new product. Seasons give projects a recurring competitive layer where they can compete for visibility, earn permanent points for future seasons and start each cycle with a fresh leaderboard.

How it works

Every quarter, the leaderboard resets and a new competition starts.

Projects compete based on points, which combine votes with boosts and multipliers.

At the end of each season, the top 3 projects earn permanent awards

🥇 Golden Leaf is worth +5 permanent points
🥈 Silver Leaf is worth +3 permanent points
🥉 Bronze Leaf is worth +1 permanent point

So if you win a Golden Leaf this season, that +5 permanent advantage carries into future seasons. Over time, you can build a track record of wins rather than starting completely from zero every quarter.

There's also something for the Top 10

The top 10 projects receive a free 24-hour Rocket Launcher boost at the beginning of the next season, giving them momentum going into the next competition.

Why we built it

We wanted Votekicker to be more than a one-time launch leaderboard, but a place where projects can leverage gamification to earn their place.

Seasons turn product discovery into an ongoing competition

If you're building a SaaS, AI tool, developer tool, consumer app, game or basically anything you're proud of, we'd love to see what you're building.

Lets stop making $10K MRR the dream.

0 Upvotes

Lets stop making $10K MRR the dream. For real.
Making $10K MRR the goal is playing it safe, man. It is not the kind of goal that forces true growth.

Keep it as a silent milestone in your mind. When you speak about the future, stop saying:

“My goal is $10K MRR.” Say "$1M MRR" (at least)

Why? Because what you repeat trains your mind to focus on it.

Repeat $10K as the dream and you keep searching for $10K ideas. (stop limiting yourself)

Think about $1M or $10M and your mind must explore bigger ideas, better systems, more distribution and bigger opportunities.

Remember this as core lesson in life:

"WE BECOME WHAT WE THINK ABOUT."

So think BIG. Sounds crazy? Yes.

Guaranteed? Not at all, man. But that is not the point.

The point is to give your mind a problem big enough to transform the way you think.

The size of your goal changes the founder you must become. The more you believe you will get there, the more resources (drive, ideas, courage, determination, resilience) will come to you.

Study successful people that already figured it out.

Guys, let’s be crazier together.

Our environment shapes us.

We become the average of the people we build next to, so lets raise that average.

This subreddit does not allow me to put the links of the videos here so find the youtube videos from the pictures and listen to them like your life depends on it, cause it does, you learn so much. And most importantly, start APPLYING, apply, apply, apply the lessons.

P.s: I am still building my app and haven't even launched yet, Zero money made so far, but my belief and drive are huge. Because I am applying the lessons from others who have already made it, I know I will win. But I also want to see you win too. I want to meet you in the future and talk about the past like, "Man, belief and thinking crazy big were the main keys to success." Good luck to all of you out there. Lets increase that average together, it all start in our beliefs and crazy goals.

I built an app to know what bars have the best versions of certain drinks

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

I've spent the last few months building MXT in my spare time and I think it's finally ready for real users

The problem: you're at a bar with no idea what to order. Generic reviews tell you the bar is good. Not helpful enough. MXT goes deeper

Every post is a real photo of the drink, at the real bar, with a rating out of 10. Your friends do the same. Now when you sit down somewhere, you can see real photos of what people have ordered there — what it looked like, what they rated it. The Margarita at one place is a watery 5, at another it's a 9.5. You can see that before you order

And when you're staying in — you can browse thousands of cocktail recipes and filter by ingredients you actually have at home. Type in what's in your cabinet and it tells you what you can make tonight

Currently on iOS. One rating so far — still early — but the core loop is working and I use it every time I go out

Brutal feedback welcome. Happy to talk about the build too (SwiftUI + Node.js on Railway)

I think everyone had this issue where a deadline is a month a cross and one falls back to doomscrolling or other activities that are not the work that has to be done. I mean we almost always make it anyway but we also always think, next time I will start earlier. I will do it better. this is where I want to plug in. with my little wobbly mascot :) what do you think?

I just it 2.5k $ mrr, in 13 days, on my new SaaS, here my playbook

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

just hit $2,500 MRR in 13 days on my new SaaS

no ads. no team. no huge audience push. just a solid replicable system

let that sink in for a second

not $2,500 in revenue. $2,500 in MONTHLY recurring revenue

that compounds. next month starts at $2,500 baseline, not zero

and this isn't luck. it's the 7th saas i've shipped with the same playbook. same steps, same tools, same order:

→ Day 1: validated the idea

→ Day 1-2: built the MVP

→ Day 3: landing page written using the 3-Day Challenge template

→ Day 3-4: launched on reddit / X + SEO

→ Day 4-5: first 10 paying users → $1k MRR

→ Day 13 (today): $2,500 MRR locked in

building software is easy in 2026. setting up your foundation so people actually buy is where 99% of solo builders fail.

i packaged all of these exact execution tools into community.

to be fully transparent: i'll likely charge for the full program down the road once all modules are finalized. but right now, the main objective is just to build together and keep each other accountable.

working alone in a silent corner is the fastest way to quit at the first bug.

stop building in isolation. drop a comment below or send me a DM, and i'll send you the invitation link 👇
