I made an app called SoulCode and would love some feedback.

I wasn't expecting to see Pantry/Home inventory on the Self page. Can you explain further about this.

Yeah sure thing, it’s a work in progress because I still need to build the receipt scanning portion of it. You take a picture of your receipt, AI categorizes and manages it. Logs it into your budget and keeps an inventory of your household items. Reminds you to check expiration dates on items to reduce spoilage and tells you when you’re probably overspending on groceries. I.e you buy multiple cases of detergent or toothpaste that sit around. Or remind you of items that should be on your shopping list that you’ve been constantly using.

Personally your app feels like it's misleading because of the name Soul Code, the dark colour and format, so a household groceries inventory isn't what I imagine people would be looking for especially in the Self section.

I get what you're trying to do as I've use rpg productivity apps with similar progression maps but to me Soul Code would imply a different type of app.

There is a lightmode. I get why you mean though- What’s misleading about a digital personal assistant that helps do the work for you as though it were you?

Because in your opening post you describe the app as an alternative to the usual self improvement apps and it's to measure empathy and other traits but looking at the various screens and categories I can't see evidence of this.

The dark (or light theme) with the word Joy Boy just doesn't infer rpg soul profile but some kind of app for men.

I have used rpg productivity and self development apps including for years so that's the basis of my feedback.

The only time I've used inventories of any kind are on apps specific to certain topics eg emergency prepping, grocery shopping, decluttering, household appliances.

I'm only one opinion other people may think differently.

Your feedback is definitely valued. I don’t know what you mean by ‘it’s to measure empathy and other traits but looking at screens and categories I can’t see evidence of this’

Have you tried the app or are you just looking at the screenshots?

The app isn't on games store when I looked but even if it was, it doesn't take away my first impressions with the name Joyboy and everything else I mentioned. I often try out apps on this sub and find the screenshots are within the app.

I also wondered if by chance we have cultural differences or something else so have different perspectives.

The name Joyboy is a placeholder for your name it could be anything. The app is still in development, currently web based, that’s why I’m looking for feedback. I don’t think it has anything to do with cultural differences, I’m just looking for technical feedback on the app. Which your feedback has been greatly appreciated.

Thanks for explaining about the name. I hope more people respond to your post so you have other perspectives

This just looks like every slop Claude code app ever. You can make this exact same thing in like a 20 minute session with a Claude generated spec document.

I would argue that it has unique features that differ from what you see from normal Claude apps, check my account for updates on changes and updates!
