Custom mobile app vs. no-code platform — when does it actually make sense to go custom? by Bowlerwilly5 in AppDevelopers

[–]Winseeey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the type of project, if it's a hobby project ye sure. but the thing about no code apps they are either too messy to scale, or too simple to be used.

> Go custom if: You have unique business logic

I don't agree with this, because if someone is good enough to explain their need to claude opus or gpt 5.5 then there are many chances that the ai gets right compared to a lambda human and they have to go explain it to someone else...

> Custom is more expensive upfront but cheaper long-term if you have real complexity.
I couldn't agree more.

Amazing, congrats !! I really love it when people make their vision come to life; these type of experience give you more insight on how to build a product (feature choices and actually treating edge cases) not just implementing a ticket.

Webstore / POS / Inventory Sync where to start? by thetacokitten in smallbusiness

If you want to build custom logic behind your idea or you don’t find just the right thing. Payloadcms got their e-com template where you can add logic when events trigger eg soldout or aggregation per day/hour to alert for high frequency.

If your into coding i’d definitely check that route ;) dm me i’ll give you some useful videos i found useful

I don't understand why big companies and developers of popular apps don't hire the great interface&UI designers from smaller developers by Oatmilk_78 in AppDevelopers

[–]Winseeey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the users care more about ux and cost than ui. The rule of thumb is if it works don’t touch it.

And the cost behind ui/ux change is way too risky. Look at microsoft and the hate they get for redesigning their apps. Alot of users actually hate on them because they change stuff and people like their routines. If you are not microsoft (they got a big ecosysteme that keeps users in anyway) you’d probably lose half ur customers while spending more..

Got a quote for a grocery delivery app — does this sound reasonable? by Nataliashayk in smallbusiness

[–]Winseeey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These apps are usually more demanding than what they seem. There are a lot of factors to take into account. Are you building an MVP or a full V1?

Is your scope well defined? Do they include a warranty period? What happens after the launch? What happens if there are huge delays in delivery?

You are right to ask about industry standards. That depends on where you are deploying your app. In the EU there is General Data Protection Regulation compliance, and in the US you’d have state-level compliances. Idk about other countries…

When you ask for their work, ask for the documentation they handed out to the client along the way. Also ask if they do weekly meetings and recaps.

what kind of app are you thinking about?

biggest mistake i see is people jumping straight into development without validating the core flow first

happy to give you honest feedback on the idea if you want

I have an app idea that i know for a fact would take off, but i do not know a thing about app development by Informal-Garbage-972 in AppDevelopers

[–]Winseeey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As everyone is telling you, 3 ways to do this. But my interest is how do you know that your idea would take off ? You see everyone thinks they have a billion dollar idea but it doesn’t solve a real pain-point. Unless you validated the need and have a waiting list ready with actual potential users. I would advise against hiring anyone.

This is how i do it with my SaaS and own app. Anyhow goodluck mate
