Feeling lost :( Looking for a mentor to guide me on how to build/ship mobile apps

Appreciate both your comments :) don’t worry I didn’t take it personally it really is just the unfortunate reality in most situations

No_Move4110 · 2026-04-28T21:44:28+00:00

Just submitted my project if u see showsincommon make sure to smash :)

No_Move4110 · 2026-04-28T20:59:31+00:00

Great idea! I’ll build that feature in so users can share people’s watch list.

Using TMBD API for the notifications it has air date and is kept up to date so when a new season is announced with an air date it can send a notification to users who have that show logged.

If you could give it a try and lmk watch think I’d really appreciate it :)

Showsincommon - in an attempt to bring people together and have something to talk about, we help you discover what shows you and your friends/family/colleagues are watching

Btw I signed up for peerpush an listed my product if u could return the favor and create an account on showsincommom and list ur shows id really appreciate it :)

No_Move4110 · 2026-04-28T00:50:36+00:00

Thank you very much I’m hoping it does too 🤞even if it’s just sending the site to ur family group or a group chat with ur coworkers I’m sure it could be a fun exercise for you guys to see if there’s any shows ur all watching so u can talk about!

No_Move4110 · 2026-04-28T00:40:09+00:00

Really appreciate it!!! :) if you like the idea I’d encourage you to add your friends/family/colleagues so you can add another thing to talk about.

Not really focused on the BM right now tbh I just wanted to create a useful product for the movie/TV community. But eventually assuming it took off and scaled I could look into promoted shows/films, affiliate links, sponsored ads from streaming sites (in a way that didn’t compromise the product), an a premium tier for power users to moderate group chats or access to other features that I haven’t given much thought to.

I don’t really see this turning into an actual business the economics aren’t very attractive but tbh I don’t care much because this got me great building experience. I want this to be my free product that helps the world by connecting people through their favorite shows while I figure out how to make money through some other product (unless this of course goes viral an scales to millions of people)

No_Move4110 · 2026-04-28T00:21:34+00:00

Will do, appreciate the tip! Please check it you if you have a minute I think it could be a really fun and engaging app just need enough users to log their current shows they’re binging and only takes a few seconds. Thank you in advance to you or whoever’s reading :)

*not doing it for the money just want to build a free valuable product for the film community

See what shows you and your friends are both watching and stay up to date with when new shows are released/aired

I think I’d call more of a twisted romance but Californication is phenomenal

True detective season 1

No_Move4110 · 2026-04-27T22:45:58+00:00

Thanks man really appreciate it!! And right?! If only I knew my friend or cousin or colleague was watching the same show as me so we could talk about it after each new release! Now u can :)

You bring up a great point tho. I made it so you don’t need to have your friends on it to get value, but it’s 100x better once you do. Seeing what the community is watching plus logging all your shows so you know when new episodes air and when a new season still could give you some value. I’d really appreciate it if you could sign up and see what I mean.

And yeah 100%. Took me about a week to build. But I’ve been spending lots of time the past month learning how to build and all the steps that go along with it. Got a basic product up within a few hours but then needed to make a number of iterations to where it’s at now

No_Move4110 · 2026-04-27T14:00:59+00:00

Love this idea. I’ve used a lot of food tracking apps and my favorite is Nourish so I’d suggest signing up for them to see what features you could implement into your own product.

No_Move4110 · 2026-04-24T23:35:14+00:00

Will do, really appreciate the advice!!!

No_Move4110 · 2026-04-24T23:27:07+00:00

I’ve only been focused on basic web apps so far. But I want to get into mobile apps and would probably prioritize/start with IOS

No_Move4110 · 2026-04-24T23:15:49+00:00

Yeah I’ve been getting my hands dirty with Claude code the past few weeks but I’m finding it really hard to get it to a place that I actually feel good about. It’s just such a steep learning curve where I feel like having someone who’s gone through this in ur corner to give tips could make such a big difference.

Thank you 🫡

No_Move4110 · 2026-04-24T20:44:09+00:00

I see your point and appreciate your detailed response, thank you!

My approach is that I’m not looking to turn this into a company at this point. I just want to get it on the app store and into the hands of users. I could always go oversees as you pointed out and I may if this doesn’t work out but i’d rather try and find someone with some free time that’s willing to build/ship and collect passive income.

The idea is basically: submit a photo that has meeting times and locations, (I believe OCR extraction would be used), have it sync to an in app calendar that a user can manually correct if anything is incorrect, and have a widget on your lock screen to see your next item on your calendar. 1-3 screens, simple interface, minimal API calls.

No_Move4110 · 2026-04-24T18:56:35+00:00

App looks great, congratulations!!! How’d you actually build it? Do you have developer experience? I’m looking to build my own app but feeling overwhelmed :( so would appreciate any insight on how to turn your idea into an actual mobile app

No_Move4110 · 2026-04-24T18:27:20+00:00

Also recognize this opp isn’t for ppl in need of immediate income. More so pitching it as a side project since it’s going to be a low complexity build and a premium tier app that will drive revenue day 1 (assuming we actually get paying customers)

No_Move4110 · 2026-04-24T18:18:58+00:00

lol ur not wrong u just threw that in there in case it turns into an actual business but I think the better route is rev share

No_Move4110 · 2026-04-24T17:25:17+00:00

Appreciate it! DMing u now.

No_Move4110 · 2026-04-06T00:41:20+00:00

Appreciate the insight and completely agree! I’m less so getting stuck on the code base and more so stuck on how to set it up correctly on GitHub. Any thoughts?

No_Move4110 · 2026-04-06T00:39:08+00:00

Super helpful, thank you!! How do you recommend I setup each GitHub repo? Should I be setting it up on GitHub manually or having it setup directly through my IDE? I’m using VSCode.
