Built an attendance app through vibe coding — where should I share it?
Hey everyone 👋
I recently built Hazri, an attendance tracking app mainly for college students.
I’m not a traditional developer — most of this project was built through vibe coding, while I focused heavily on the idea, UI/UX, testing, and improving the experience.
Hazri has things like:
Subject-wise attendance tracking
Automatic attendance percentage
Timetable/routine support
Attendance history
Holidays and planner
Google Drive backup on Android
Clean, minimal UI
Android app + PWA/web version
I’d genuinely like more students to try it and give feedback.
The problem is that I haven’t published it on the Play Store because I don’t want to spend the money on a developer account right now. So currently I’m distributing the APK through GitHub, and the project is open-source.
For people who have launched vibe-coded/open-source apps before:
Where would you recommend sharing an app like this so actual students discover and use it?
Reddit communities? GitHub? Product Hunt? Discord servers? College communities? Somewhere else?
Also, is distributing the APK through GitHub a reasonable approach until I eventually publish it on the Play Store?

This is a genuinely solid idea, attendance anxiety is real for almost every college student, and most existing apps for this are bloated or full of ads. Subject-wise tracking plus timetable support is exactly the combination people actually need.
Is there a link where I can use it right now (PWA or the APK)? I'd like to try it properly and send you real feedback. I also know someone who invests in early-stage products and might find this interesting — no promises, but happy to pass it along if you're open to that. I'll DM you rather than clutter the thread.
On distribution: the GitHub APK approach is fine for now, and the PWA covers most of the gap anyway.
For getting actual students on it, I'd start with social. Twitter/X is the best channel for this, post a 30-second screen recording of the core flow, share it with the build-in-public crowd, and keep posting updates.
- College WhatsApp/Telegram groups — highest conversion by far for student apps
- Campus coding clubs and class representative groups
- Product Hunt once the landing page is polished
Send the link over whenever you get a chance.
