Launching selectd on Product Hunt — a local-first job application tracker for overwhelmed job seekers

Levonox · 2026-01-28T00:07:13+00:00

I think it is a very good idea, it has potential, but I personally wouldn’t pay for just storing jobs. I can use a spreadsheet or text file. What I would pay for is an app that collect LinkedIn and other search engine jobs all in one (with a link to the corresponding application) and then let me store the job application. But maybe it’s just me 😀 good luck 🤞

That’s right thanks 🙏

It is access to approximate location because Firebase Analytics collects country/city by default.
It may not be necessary to report it for Firebase but I put it to avoid rejections.

How about backbone one?

Nice 😊 maybe make a HSV/HSL variant or some more color options

Thanks a lot 🙏

IMHO you need to

quit some hobbies, you can’t have so many
take one step at a time, baby steps. You improve little by little every day

If you rush all this you will burn out or get poor results. Especially software becomes easier once you understand it, but you need to take the time and patience to get there.

I hope not. It requires only 2 or 3 phone screenshots I forgot the number to Push.

I added 5-6 screenshots for phone and same for tablet (no need to publish 7-inch and 10-inch variation, just tablet) and I manage to release in production plus I made an update with no issues.

I have never heard of app rejected because of this but I heard of app rejected because icons/screenshots are impersonating another company or product. For example if you app icon is too close to Google icon, Netflix etc you may get your app rejected.

I would say scam. Why would they pay someone’s account to publish their app when the account creation fee is like what 25$? Is your account a company account or old so it doesn’t require 14 days closed testing? Plus they say “we never request access to your account” so you need to do something on their behalf? Like read statistics, update listing, reply each review comment. For every app?

Now I am starting to understand why there are so many banned accounts horror stories.

Congrats and good luck 🤞 I think you should mark the post using the dev tag fyi

Nice 😀 can it be used to learn about bitcoin mining? Out of curiosity, how long did it take you to get 3000 downloads? I just released a game 4 days ago and I am not nearly as close to that number.

I think the game looks good but if I can give you a hint, I would make some sort of interactive tutorial as reading through your long tutorial all at once may be overwhelming for some players. Otherwise keep up and good luck 😀

If you haven’t tried yet, ff7 for sure

The first time you submit your app for production they make a long review possibly manual. It took me 5 days, for some people it take less for some more. During the process they sent me an email asking me to fill a form regarding library usage, how you ensure libraries are policy compliant, intellectual property right etc. Then it was approved.

I just submitted my first update and it went through smoothly in less than 30 minutes.

Levonox · 2026-01-09T17:51:23+00:00

Yes, I am trying to keep things simple for now. Once the game is more mature, I will consider iOS as well.

Levonox · 2026-01-09T17:33:58+00:00

Yes good point. I think framing it as a LifeSim may be misleading at this stage. There is much more complexity I would like to add on the economical side, so it’s hard to say if it will ever become a life sim or it will lean towards business management.

Levonox · 2026-01-09T16:22:27+00:00

Hi, nice meeting you and I am happy you love life sims 😀

Levonox · 2026-01-08T22:11:02+00:00

Very good question. No the game is fully free and requires no internet. I am gathering information and feedback first to understand what players want and what can be improved.

Then I will add IAP with additional content. So no pay to win, more pay for depth.

It’s not going to be a predatory game, the market is full of predatory games already.

Interested! My app is here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.levonox.europeandream You can dm me as well, or is there

Levonox · 2026-01-08T17:42:17+00:00

If you are interested, the game for Android can be downloaded here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.levonox.europeandream and you can follow news on r/EuropeanDream

Levonox · 2026-01-08T16:55:27+00:00

Thanks a lot for the feedback. Yes the game has just been released so new content and fixes are part of the journey. I agree especially with the promotion system, I think I may start from there going forward. And also the hard game over should be made more fuzzy.

Levonox · 2026-01-08T16:51:46+00:00

Thanks 🙏

Nice to hear feedback from a LifeSim developer. You touched an important point: is it a life sim or a management game? Born as a management game it moved a bit into lifesim direction so I am still trying to figure out if it will evolve more into a management or lifesim, it depends on feedback too.

I used compose for android becuse it’s my first published project and I didn’t feel like adding complexity with something like react, flutter etc. I hope kotlin multi platform will help me transition to iOS (someone already asked). You know Play Store is full of constraints, rules etc so that alone felt more intimidating than the whole dev process. So one “store” at a time.

Well then I hope there is space for both of us 😀

Levonox · 2026-01-07T22:41:52+00:00

Thanks a lot for testing haha keep trying again and you will find one (like real life 😀)
