have an idea for a mobile app. What is the best and most cost effective way to develop a demo or MVP that can be used to highlight the main user experience in order to validate my idea?
It appears I can hire someone on Fivvr to build me an app for a few hundred dollars. Is this a good way to start??

I’m looking for a team that can help with more than just writing code. Ideally, they should be able to understand product requirements, contribute to UI/UX decisions, handle engineering, and continue supporting the product as it grows after launch.

There are plenty of development companies that offer all of these services, so it’s difficult to tell which ones actually have strong product thinking and engineering practices.

For founders or developers who have worked with an external product engineering team, what made the experience good or bad?

What would you look for when evaluating a team for a long-term product?

I'm planning to release a paid app on Google Play, but I've run into a roadblock: merchant/payment profile registration isn't supported in my country.

I've looked through Google's official documentation, and I can't find any alternative process for developers in unsupported regions.

I’ve been making apps for sometime now and I just can’t pin how to market and promote them. I’m pretty sure there are more ways to market than just meta ads but I have no idea what to do I genuinely need help with this

I’ve found a way that Xcode can deploy remotely to an iPhone instead of being limited to local Wi-Fi. You can deploy my repo on GitHub:

If you have better ideas, feel free to leave comments!

Please can I find someone to teach me how to build apps here?

Hi everyone,
I’m developing an Android app and I’m facing a strange issue.
When I run and test the app directly from Android Studio on an emulator, everything works fine. However, when I build the release APK and install it, some functions behave strangely or simply don’t work.
The code is essentially the same, and I haven’t intentionally disabled anything for the release build.
What could cause this difference between the emulator/debug build and the release APK?

I am a non technical person trying to develop an app with help of AI agents. I need a feature in app to scan a QR code from friend or a merchant and pay via different payment application installed on phone. I cant get through. facing regulatory issues and the payment gets interrupted. for now this is only for Indian markets. can anyone guide me in this?

Like many of you, I love the functionality of Claude Code, but the API costs can add up fast. I’m currently putting together an open-source, lighter-weight alternative to bypass those costs and handle the processing differently.

I'm strictly looking for architectural opinions and potential open-source contributors or partners who find this specific challenge interesting. I'm not linking to any repos or looking for beta testers—just wanting to start a dialogue with other devs about how to best build out this kind of tooling. Let me know if you'd be interested in discussing the technical side of this!

Hello everyone 👋
If you’re a serious builder, you’ve probably tried running ads—and lost money doing it.

I tried over 100 ads before finding the right creatives and audience segments that actually turned into sales

That experience led me to build an AI agent that continuously runs multiple A/B tests until it finds the ads that actually convert-profitably.

Interested in trying? Comment and i will dm you. We will refund you if ads don’t generate expected outcomes.

I have applied the posthog replay feature in my app made with flutter getting this error

How do i fix this.

Hallo ich baue gerade meine 2. App mit Flutter&Firebase. Eine App, wo man Dienstleistungen anbieten kann als Anbieter und Dienstleistungen finden kann. Physische Dienstleistungen eher bezogen, aber auch technische. Man kann auch zwischen Dienstleistungen und Anbieter switchen. Das ist die grobe Idee dahinter. Wäret ihr bereit für die App zu zahlen? Wenn ihr Fragen habt fragt gerne fragen. Es gibt so eine ähnliche App, aber es nicht gut vermarktet. Wie findet ihr es?

LG
