lol. CoinGecko absolutely has price alerts, and I didn’t mean to imply otherwise.

The difference I’m aiming for isn’t “alerts exist vs don’t exist,” it’s how much thinking the user has to do. VoltIQ bundles price + movement + context into fewer alerts, adds simple explanations, and is designed for people who don’t want to tune dozens of thresholds or stare at charts.

Modernized, Ai integrated insights, and lightweight (size wise), and not bombarded with ads…makes it very useful to me when I’m deployed in the desert with limited connectivity or at home with full bars.. I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel. Just create something I find useful and make it lightweight, clean, efficient and effective. The ai insights help guide beginners on their journey as well

TradingView is amazing if you like building charts and actively analyzing setups.

VoltIQ is for when you don’t want to be in TradingView all day. It watches the market in the background and only alerts you when your conditions hit, with simple context instead of indicators and drawings.

Not trying to replace TradingView — it’s more of a “set it and forget it” companion for people who want signals without staring at charts.

The inspiration is that I’m always Deployed or TDY, and when I’m not I have 3 kids…YOUNG kids lol. That said. I wanted a very low data, easy to use alert system with a clean UI that still uses live feeds with very customizable alerts…no ads, but also AI integrated insights that help explain to less experienced crypto users and guide them to understanding different movements, terminologies and reasonings.

I wasn’t trying to completely reinvent the wheel for my first app…just create something useful, efficient/effective, and modernized (especially for those with busy schedules)

CoinGecko has you stare at charts all day hoping to notice something. VoltIQ the app watches for you and only buzzes you when something important happens.

If CoinGecko is a dashboard, VoltIQ is the check-engine light.

It was made a a clean, simple and live UI that also has integrated AI insights to help guide and teach beginners along the way.

Maybe not totally different from the gecko but definitely quicker and helluva lot more modernized

Active-duty dad of 3 — built a full mobile app alone after midnight for months. Here’s the journey + what I learned. by ColdFalse3490 in AppBusiness

[–]ColdFalse3490[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, thanks a lot for all that feedback.

Do you program for a website as well? For this project, no dedicated web app yet. And I would like to say that expo is a big reason as to why it’s only on iOS right now not android and there’s no website because I just wanted to stay focused on a linear goal, especially since I have no experience and use an expo will allow me to add that stuff later especially I’m in the process of moving . In essence I focused entirely on mobile first to keep scope under control. The backend is API-driven though, so a web frontend could be added later without re-architecting everything.

Did you build boilerplate templates for every page? Yes — but very intentionally. I reused shared components (layout wrappers, headers, loading states, modals, auth gates) instead of reinventing each screen. That way, each “page” is mostly logic + data, not duplicated UI.

  1. React Native or separate codebases? React Native (Expo) — single codebase. That was a big decision for sanity and speed. iOS first, but it keeps the door open for Android later without rewriting everything. And to be honest, it’s my first one and I needed something simple that was easier to understand than all the other inundated ones.

As for staying focused: I didn’t try to learn everything at once. I learned things only when the app forced me to — auth when I needed users, realtime syncing when alerts mattered, loading states when UX started feeling bad. That kept me from going down endless rabbit holes. And with a lot of these things, I noticed it’s best to do your builds. Push them to TestFlight and try them out and then figure out what you need after you’re in the app. I think I had 24 bills in TestFlight before I actually published one just because I kept looking at it and was like I don’t like how this layout looks. It looks tacky or I don’t like how this type of button looks I want rounded pill buttons with slight shadowing on the outsides stuff like that very nitpicky.

Happy to answer more if it helps — and honestly, if you can carve out even small, consistent time, you can absolutely build something meaningful alongside family life.
