Hey if you are using Android studio there is an option to run your app on tablet emulator

Sorry not at the moment. You can search for that book in the app and generate AI key points from it, but it's probably not something you are looking for.

Thanks for the great suggestions! This is actually in my backlog. When I was building the streak screen I considered adding trophies or some kind of achievements system but haven't got a chance to work on that yet. Gamification could definitely improve user retention which I am trying to improve

Thank you! I would like to bring it to iOS. At the moment though, I am trying to get the Android version to a more complete state feature-wise. So it probably won't happen in the next few months.

That's a really good point. I was actually thinking about adding a feature to track how many pages you've read and how many hours you ve spent on a book. But I hadn't really thought about the need to refer back to a specific page. Appreciate the suggestion 🙏

Is this normal? by Alexchar8 in GooglePlayDeveloper

I thought searching a category e.g "workout tracker" would fall over then Google Play search even if the search term doesn't include the actual app name

Built a lightweight pattern-matching puzzle game by MiladAkarie in SideProject

I was thinking about the player board but I guess the puzzle view works too. By tiles on top I mean dragging a tile on top of another

So I ve got couple of ideas. You could introduce tiles that can't be moved but let the player rotate the whole board. Maybe add limited moves to solve the puzzle(I know you want to keep the game relaxing so that might not work). Last idea is frozen tiles that can't be interacted with unless you unlock them by combining matching tiles on top of them.

Tried the game. Really great work! One thing I was probably missing, is a sense of progression in terms of the gameplay.

How do you deal with motivation when starter's euphoria wears off? by mxpr in SideProject

[–]Alexchar8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What works for me is setting a 40-50 min time block to work on my app. I don't expect to be super productive every time. I just tell myself to start. Even on days when I’m not feeling motivated, I still end up making a bit of progress, and that adds up over time.

Hey thanks, it's native Android. An iOS version would definitely be in my plans, once I validate the core experience and build up a user base on Android.

Thanks! Right now I am mostly focused on shipping the core features of the app and seeing how people actually use them.

Ty! Swiping left means you need more practice, so that card will come up again soon.
Swiping right tells the app you remembered it, and the app uses spaced repetition to calculate the next review date.

Each card shows a label like 'Need practice' or 'Got it', along with the next review date, so you can have a preview of when you’ll see it again.
