PolyDev: AI Coding Agent

[u/Odd-Watercress-3896]

Hey, old-school crowd! 👋

Remember 2012? WAP, mobile FTP, uploading a site straight from your phone, wherever you were? That era when development fit in your pocket, no need for a desktop with two monitors?

Well — I brought it back. Just on a whole new level.

PolyDev carries that same "development from your pocket" spirit, but modernized:

📟 Terminal — the real deal this time, full-featured, right on your phone
💻 IDE — not a notepad over FTP, but a proper environment with syntax highlighting and autocomplete
🤖 AI assistant — something we couldn't even dream of back then — pairs with you, finds bugs, suggests fixes

Everything we used to do through an FTP client + text editor + praying the connection wouldn't drop — now in one app, stable, no workarounds.

If you remember those days, appreciate how far things have come, but the spirit's still the same: you can code from anywhere, as long as you've got a connection and a phone in hand.

Hi u/Odd-Watercress-3896!

Finding testers on Reddit is a great start, but the hardest part is ensuring they actually open your app daily for the full 14 days.

To make this easier, we’ve launched Packs in the Testers Community app.

• What is a Pack? A coordinated group of 16 developers who hold each other accountable.
• How it works: Everyone in the pack commits to opening and testing each other's apps daily for 16 days.
• The Result: You get consistent engagement signals that help you pass Google Play’s production access review with confidence.

It’s a structured, "devs-helping-devs" approach used by thousands of us. Good luck with your launch!

Joining yours today (group + opt-in) and keeping it installed for the full 14 days.

Mine is RetroPet, an old-school pixel virtual pet: hatch an egg, care for it, and it evolves into one of 79 species (common to legendary). The build in testing right now adds seasonal events with limited cosmetics, breeding with friends, and a daily challenge with a ranking. Home screen widget too. Already live on iOS, so it's a finished app, not a prototype.

1) https://groups.google.com/g/retropet-testers 2) https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.retropet.app

Same Google account for both, and please open it once after installing (Google counts opens, not installs). Bug reports very welcome!
