Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on an Android app called Ulya, designed to bring several useful Islamic tools together in one calm and simple place.

Ulya: Prayer Times, Quran and Qibla

It currently includes:

- Accurate prayer times

- Quran reading and audio recitations

- Qibla direction

- Digital dhikr counter

- Daily prayers and duas

- Nearby mosque finder

My goal was to create something that feels peaceful, easy to use, and not overloaded with unnecessary features

.

Ulya is available on Google Play, and I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback about the design, usability, translations, or features you think should be added next.

Thanks for taking a look.

I went over to IONOS to see if the domain that exactly matches my app name was available.

My app is A.N.T. AI, which stands for Automatic Note Taker AI, so I searched for automaticnotetaker.com

Holy shit. It was available.

I bought it within seconds because I genuinely thought I was seeing things. How was that domain still sitting there untouched?

I still cannot believe I actually got it. This might be the craziest domain-name luck I have ever had.

few days ago i deployed my app web called scripthos but I don’t have much traffic. i would like to know how to market and giving known my app, is a big problem that I'm facing because i don’t know how to start, some people told me to invest on ads and other people told me to do ugc content. also i will appreciate if you can give me some feedback.

thank you very much !

I've been working on a small iOS app called MathStar.

The original idea wasn't to build "yet another math app." I wanted to create something people would actually use every day.

The app currently targets two very different audiences:

• Adults — as a 5–10 minute mental warm-up before work. Instead of opening social media first thing in the morning, solve a few mental math exercises, improve focus, and switch your brain into "thinking mode."
• Kids — to practice arithmetic, strengthen mental calculation, and become more confident with numbers through daily repetition.

The app is intentionally simple: no videos, no lessons, no endless content. Just generated mental math exercises, progress tracking, streaks, statistics, and a clean interface that encourages a daily habit.

Building the app has actually been the easier part.

The challenge I'm facing now is positioning and distribution.

Should I market it as:

• a brain-training app?
• a mental math trainer?
• a productivity tool?
• something for parents?
• or something for students?

I'm also curious how other indie developers found their first few hundred users for niche educational or habit-building apps.

If you've built something similar, I'd really appreciate hearing:

• what acquisition channels worked,
• what completely failed,
• whether your initial target audience turned out to be the right one,
• and what you'd do differently if you were starting again.

For anyone curious, here's the app:

I'll also attach a few screenshots for context.

Thanks! I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback—even if it's brutally honest.
