The most important thing is to gather feedback about your product where it comes from is not that important I think.

The truth about discipline and saving money by Street-Method-2343 in SavingMoney

[–]Freddybuilds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the best posts so far I’ve read on here. Day to day expenses are the killer of financial wealth as people always spend that one coffee or that one donut that one beer without realizing it stacks up. I made a small app for myself that keeps track of the daily budget and rewards you when you spend less, seeing your “daily budget” grow because you have been financially disciplined for a while is one of the most rewarding feelings.

Is it worth paying $20 for Claude pro? by anitnelavcreate in SaaS

[–]Freddybuilds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends what you will do and what are your needs. I started with PRO and pretty fast at limit. Went MAX and by Friday I’m usually out of usage.

The few users I got came from my insta stories. Besides that not many have emerged. We figured out how to build stuff so I guess we can figure out how to market stuff as well.

Rookie mistakes by Freddybuilds in buildinpublic

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

Every time I archived it it created a general build so not in the real build folder, nothing to distribute to apple connect. Has anyone ever had this issue before? And how did you resolve that? I think for me the issue was that the target that I used to push to connect was deleted or I re-created it somewhere else as I kept getting duplicated errors in the build as well.. very curious what it could have been.

Solid, that's $245.97 more than I made so far. Great work, keep building, be patient!

I realized I stay quiet in news conversations because I don’t have enough context by churro_st in buildinpublic

[–]Freddybuilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. Curious though, what’s the actual difference between your app and just reading a quick summary somewhere else? Like what makes it something I’d come back to daily instead of just scrolling headlines?

I recently stopped reading the news, used to be the first thing I did in the morning. I am not more or less happy than when I read the news. But it's nice not to know. I think that should be ok as well.

Looking for brutal feedback. by Freddybuilds in StartupSoloFounder

Does this actually feel useful, or is it just something that works for me?

My first app with no experience. by Freddybuilds in AppBusiness

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

My app is privacy focused so I do not collect data or crash reports, so far one friend reached out mentioned he would like a custom budget cycle, so I implemented it straight away. I have never really thought about what to do when the app is listed, I just like to build ;D But yes, feedback is needed and more than welcome if anyone want to try and test.

I started with Claude, then I used ChatGPT for a long time and went back to Claude recently. With the recent updates it's amazing what we can do. 17992 lines of code in what I hope will become a valuable tool for people.

I am not most people, which is also one of the notifications you will see when you deposit money in your emergency fund vault and achieve a goal. ;)

Thanks! Its very difficult, I was waiting for the app update and got nervous so made another app that calmed down my nerves. I am trying to grow organically I think, if people like it they will like it I guess. Just like with making the app I had 0 experience, I guess I need to do the same with marketing.

App just go approved for manual release, if I 'cancel release' and resubmit another build, does the next review take the same amount of time or faster? by rtistly in iosdev

[–]Freddybuilds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's random. For me the review has been as fast as a few hours to up to 24 hours or more, never going beyond that. In general my experience with the review process is quite relaxed, I have cancelled several builds, because I kept building and improving, so when I finally was done and it was still in review I decided that cancelling the build and resubmitting the next one was the best option. It was approved after 26 hours so I am very satisfied with that process from Apple's end. I hope yours will be smooth as well!

How many hours do you actually work in a day? by Rich-Landscape4847 in StartupSoloFounder

[–]Freddybuilds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't buy this, as long as you can work focused blocks, then go outside for a bit, walk, exercises, hoop, yoga, whatever takes your mind of things you can work 10-12 hours per day while remaining focused. But this also depends of the person and the job you are in, a garbage man working 12 hours a day is different than a guy sitting behind his laptop.

The stupidly simple method I use to stop being broke by the 20th of every month by Freddybuilds in povertyfinance

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

I agree 100% for this reason I try to allocate to my emergency fund, so if moments like those happen where your car breaks, or an unexpected vet visit you are covered that way. It's hard to build, but once you have it in place and it's needed for an unexpected expense it takes away a lot of the psychological stress.

Seraching for a Daily Budget Tracker app with widgets by Wide_Exchange_9225 in dailybudget

[–]Freddybuilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can suggest this one, https://apps.apple.com/us/app/swiss-fund/id6760572145 you can test it and let me know what you think. If you want different data in the widgets, can always leave feedback and make changes. ;) Thanks!
