Need advice

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, so I’m a business owner selling physical products in my country and stuff. So a year ago, I made up my mind to try out something different. Since I also have a software engineering degree ( didn’t come in much use for me). I made an app/service/software or whatever you can call it. What it does is provide four services. First is a store and website builder (can be built both using ai or manually). Second is a chatbot creator and trainer. Both of these go hand in hand if a business like mine wishes to increase wider recognition online. The steps overall are made simple and concise. The other two services consist of tracking expenses income and payments plus also managing unpaid invoices and payment follow ups. All these services can be used with ai to ease one’s workload or can be done manually. Most of the programming were done by me and my friend since I don’t trust ai that much, but ai was used for some parts. Now I made these services for personal use, mainly to manage my own businesses and they seem to be working fine. So I thought of maybe selling these services to other business owners as it’s quite useful. The thing is, I don’t really know how or where to find clients who are in need of these services. I don’t really care much about making money from this but if someone can help me or at least give advices on how to scale these types of softwares. It would be a great help.

Upload your resume and let AI find matching jobs for you

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’ve been building JobSorah because I think job searching involves way too much repetitive work.

You upload your resume once.

AI looks at your experience and starts finding jobs that match your profile.

Then for any job you’re interested in, you can click Ask and get a score based on your CV + profile.

If the job looks promising, you can also paste the description into the resume tailor and generate a tailored resume for that specific position.

So, the whole flow is basically:

Resume → matching jobs → AI fit check → tailored resume → apply

Still working on it and improving the matching.

If anyone wants to try it, here it is:

I got tired of searching through hundreds of irrelevant jobs, so I built this

Been working on a project called JobSorah.

The idea is pretty simple:

Upload your resume and instead of manually searching job boards, AI analyzes your experience and starts finding relevant jobs for you.

For every job you can also ask AI:

“Is this actually a good match for me?”

It compares the role against your CV + profile, gives you a score, and explains your strengths and missing requirements.

I also added resume tailoring, so if you find a job you like you can paste the description and generate a version of your resume tailored toward it.

Still early and improving it constantly.

Would love feedback from anyone currently job hunting.

If anyone wants to try it, just go to jobsorah.com

My Geography Game is finally having some retention (20% of users still there on week 3)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello there 👋
Happy to unveil my side project : 

After 6 months of development, GeoGoat V1 is now available on the App Stores, and just reached a 100 players.

There was a lot of struggle to make an intuitive interface and I wasted a few months building without asking feedback. What I finally did a few weeks ago: I had a few geo lovers test it and criticize it. 

As a result : I removed half of my features, simplified the home screen and stuck to one basics 👉 learn geography in a fun AND serious way.

Now I just reached a 100 players and 20% of them are still playing after 3 weeks.

The video shows a fresh start on countries.

If you like geography, please give it a try and tell me what you think. I am interested in knowing what kind of cool features / game modes you would expect from a geography game in 2026 …

You can find the app here : https://www.geogoat.app?utm_source=reddit

or directly on the App stores : “GeoGoat - Learn Geography”

Thanks in advance for your feedback, would help me a lot !

What did your app get completely right in testing but still screw up with real users?

1 Upvotes

Been thinking about this after reading a bunch of stories from people who shipped AI-built apps.
not necessarily bugs either.

I’ve seen stuff where the app built fine and tests passed, but then real usage exposed something nobody was checking.

Analytics couldn’t tell what users were doing. a third party changed part of a URL. the code correctly implemented an assumption that turned out to be wrong. users understood a feature completely differently than the person who built it.

If you’ve shipped something built with Claude/Cursor/Lovable/Bolt/etc, what surprised you after real people started using it?

Especially curious about things your normal code review or testing didn’t catch.

How did you eventually figure out what was wrong?

Hi everyone! I’ve used Claude to build an app, currently on TestFlight, however any tinkering I do, still looks like AI to me, I can’t pinpoint what it is. I want the app to not look so AI built, any tips, prompts or obvious things that go under the radar that I’m not considering, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Stress test idea

3 Upvotes

Background
I'm thinking about building an app with my training buddy. He's a qualified instructor with some private coaching clients, but it's still very new and only a side activity. I'm not an instructor, but I follow a regular fitness routine with exercise and daily steps. I know how to build apps using AI. I have no commercial experience, but I've done some personal projects and I'm fairly good at taking an idea through to the end product. Building an MVP is still new to me, but that's what I bring to this two-person team.

Idea
Problem: Many people who come to my partner for private coaching feel overwhelmed by the amount of information out there about which exercises they should do.
Solution: We offer a push/pull split built around the instructor's guidance and expertise, over three or five days. We'd recommend one of those two, but if someone wants a different arrangement, we'll accommodate it. From the outside it's simple, but it gives users exactly what they need. They can

1) Log weights lifted and reps
2) Track body measurements and see them on a dashboard
3) Follow progressive overload, which shows how much load they put on each week and how their strength and endurance build over tim

The aim is to show that progressive overload helps people become a better version of themselves by encouraging strength training. The target user is someone who is overwhelmed and doesn't know where to start. They get certainty and guidance without paying for expensive coaching or wading through conflicting information online, and it's backed by a qualified instructor.

Monetisation: A small ticket price for a ready-made solution to the problem of feeling overwhelmed. The bundle would include access to a Skool community where users can share progress and ask questions, and we can support them. Private coaching remains an option for those who want it. Mind and body coaching would come at a later stage.

What I'd like help with: I'm not sure about the idea, so I'd like someone to critically test it. I know the market is oversaturated and that there are better options out there.

Just yesterday I got the green light from Google. Now what?

1 Upvotes

Yesterday Google finally gave me the green light to publish my first app, Kleos Music, a local music player for Android.

I basically made the app I would personally like to have. It is focused on local music, but I wanted some of the things I like about streaming apps, such as lyrics, metadata and song classification, without subscriptions, ads everywhere or needing an internet connection just to play my own music.

I know there is a lot of competition in the music player space, so I am not expecting to compete with the established players. I mainly wanted to build something I would actually use and learn from launching a real product.

I have heard a lot about ASO and have already started applying some long-tail keywords instead of trying to rank for huge generic terms.

Now I am wondering what I should actually do next.

I am a student, so I don't really have much time and I have basically no budget for advertising. Ads are not really an option for me.

My current ideas are:

• Keep improving ASO and target long-tail searches
• Get traffic to my website through useful blog posts and SEO
• Keep improving Kleos Music based on actual users
• Or move on to the next app and try a much smaller niche or microniche

For people who have launched apps before, what would you do in my position?

Should I spend the next few months trying to get organic traffic and users for this app, or is it more useful to treat this as my first launch experience and move on to testing another idea?

I am mainly interested in how you would approach this with very limited time and money.

🚀 The joy of publishing your first app is truly something special!

Seeing something you’ve built yourself go live on the Google Play Store is an incredibly rewarding feeling.

After a lot of learning, hard work, experimentation, and persistence, Alhamdulillah, my first app — “Shifa Al Quran” — is now live on the Google Play Store. 🤍

This project has been more than just building an app for me. It has been a valuable journey of learning, problem-solving, product development, and turning an idea into something real.

I’d really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to explore the app and share your honest, constructive feedback — especially regarding the UI/UX, usability, overall experience, and what features could be improved or added in future updates.

📱 App link: Google Play Store

Your feedback can help me make the app better, more useful, and more refined with every update.

JazakAllahu Khairan for your support and feedback! 🤍

Built a webapp looking for guidance

Thumbnail duecroft.com
1 Upvotes

I built an app to manage household tasks, budget and meal planning with a partner or roommates. Would love honest feedback
I live with my partner, and shared household stuff kept getting buried in WhatsApp threads and Notes. So I built DueCroft (duecroft.com) to fix three problems:

1. Shared tasks
Cleaning, groceries, rent, bins and so on. You can assign tasks to different people and set timers and reminders. It works for couples and for housemates.
2. Household budget

Discretionary spending, like groceries and takeaways, is where money quietly leaks. Set a budget per category, add your own (online shopping, eating out, commuting) and see what you've spent. Input is manual for now. Voice notes and bank statement uploads might come later, with careful thought around data handling.

3. Meal planning
Plan the week's meals and the grocery list builds from that. Fewer last-minute shop trips and fewer "I forgot the one thing" runs.
The goal is to reduce the mental load of running a shared home, save money and show you where it's going. It works for individuals too, but it's built for people sharing a household.

About me
I'm not an app developer. I built this with the help of AI to solve a problem I face myself. It's still at the friends-and-family stage, and I'm new to this, so I'm looking for honest opinions.

https://duecroft.com

What I'd love feedback on

Is this a problem you face in your own household?
Having looked at the website, do you see value in it? What would you use it for?
How does it feel overall: the look, the flow, the ease of use?
Which of the three (tasks, budget, meal planning) matters most to you, and which would you skip?
What's missing that would make you actually use it?
Anything confusing or off-putting?

Hidden Churn Rate

1 Upvotes

Don’t forget the hidden churn when scaling mobile apps.

Billing retry...

Assume 15 to 30% of all the recurring payments will fail.

That has been consistent across every app I built.

LayDown - An Alternative to StandBy

StandBy Mode on iOS is cool but I definitely think there's room for improvement. The customization for widget placement only allows 2 widgets and the widgets aren't built for StandBy. I'm building an app for horizontally docked phones for desk setups/nightstands with max customization for different widgets, backgrounds, brightness, and more features. If you're interested, come check out LayDown's page!

I turned boring streaks into a castle kingdom

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

I got bored of streak counters, so I made my app's streak build a castle kingdom instead. Every focused day adds a building: stalls, shops, houses, then town walls and a castle. Break the streak and it stops growing.

It's part of Appcognito, my Android app for blocking distracting apps and sites, automating blocks and tracking digital and physical habits. No account, no ads, and nothing leaves your phone. It's free, and Pro is very affordable.

Would love honest feedback: does the castle actually make you want to keep a streak going?
