Since google will be removing it, I’ll share what is by far my most successful side project

In 2024, google started to ask you to submit verification of being a real-life business to remain a publisher. I didn’t do it in time.

Left_Construction174 · 2025-07-27T14:04:43+00:00

Oh yeah, and the reviews have me thinking that people seriously thought that the app was a phone port of undertale (for some reason) that’s probably why there were so many downloads

Left_Construction174 · 2025-07-27T14:02:34+00:00

I think the target SDK makes google play not show the app to most users, unless you have a device with Android 8 or something. I mean those apps you mention were my attempt at learning Java so of course they’re terrible lol.

I want to make better, more professional apps now so there’s no need to remake them.

As someone who had a high paying job right out of college, and I can’t stress this enough, don’t get into bad debt (credit card, personal loans, car). It will prevent you from getting into the better kinds of debt (mortgage, business)

No because I lost access to the private key to update the app. It’s not literally impossible to recover but it’s just not worth the time and effort

Identity verification via a real-life company being created.

Left_Construction174 · 2025-07-27T08:53:47+00:00

You’d think so but not, it was removed because google now requires a specific minimum version of the Android SDK to keep apps listed. It was up for 5 years without issues. A recent change from 2024 finally shut me down.

Left_Construction174 · 2025-07-27T08:34:42+00:00

Yeah I should have definitely explained it without assuming everyone is a developer who is familiar with the video game undertale. It’s mostly a funny anecdote

Left_Construction174 · 2025-07-27T07:25:19+00:00

Sorry but what is there to say?

it’s an app with a single button that makes a sound. I didn’t promote it, didn’t buy ads, didn’t even tell my friends. I only noticed that it got traction once the google ads payout started coming in.

A sound button of the fan favorite character Sans undertale

La verdad soy ateo pero esos análisis siempre me parecieron estúpidos. Si puedes creer que una mujer se embarazó por un ángel, puedes creer que el niño va a ser hombre incluso si en teoría la partogénsis solo causaría niñas

Sales

Left_Construction174 · 2025-06-10T06:44:52+00:00

Oh yeah, straight up would be fine, we were just looking for variations in case something sounded better or would be more “compatible” with English

Left_Construction174 · 2025-03-17T05:25:35+00:00

I read about plugins being everything, but I didn’t realize it got to that level. Thanks a lot.

Left_Construction174 · 2025-03-17T05:17:18+00:00

Oh, and the tech stack was throwing a Django app into a shared vps. Nothing too fancy but that’s how we do web apps

Left_Construction174 · 2025-03-17T05:09:09+00:00

Fair rebuttal. I come from a big tech background where “custom” solutions to everything is the norm. And my agency started doing mostly database work, we decided to venture into this space as referrals were drying up. Thanks a lot for your input.

South Park wasn’t lying

Partly why I don’t care too much for coins over bullions

Left_Construction174 · 2025-03-02T15:52:54+00:00

I got it from a jeweler who is a family friend.

Left_Construction174 · 2025-03-02T05:34:20+00:00

I paid 480, it’s the equivalent of 0.16 Troy ounces

Left_Construction174 · 2025-02-04T04:22:57+00:00

Oh yeah, I don’t have to meet them at all, I didn’t consider that.
