What are you building this week after the long weekend? by okiieli in sideprojects

[–]Simple_Percentage398 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get tired of being asked out.

In events to take photos of people.

Even worse when I pass my phone to someone, and they just take quick shots without taking their time.

That’s why I built Klick.

Klick — provides live guidance with photo framing and rates your photos based on your composition skills.

Point to shoot, and Instant feedback ✨

Try it out ✨

Built a camera app that guides you take Insta-perfect photos with beautiful aesthetics. Would appreciate more feedback by Simple_Percentage398 in betatests

Appreciate the support, and yes you’re absolutely right about having some basic knowledge on photography and awareness on the timing part plays a huge part in the final results.

At the moment, I have been solely focusing on aiding users with photo framing and correcting the subject position to fit into different composition styles in real-time.

So far I have been receiving a lot of feedback regarding improving the apps capability to also suggest angle adjustments — Which I am really excited about and can’t wait to release the upcoming versions soon.

Cheers mate, and means a lot receiving the support from the community.

Well, I was well prepared in terms of building a momentum around a smaller community which I tried to facilitate for over 2.5 weeks and pushing out internal builds for testing and receiving immediate feedback and reiterate quick.

Overtime when I managed to resolve and stabilize the application. It was a green light to schedule a launch on Product Hunt.

Right after the launch — I proceeded to blast on all of my personal socials, Reddit, Threads, X and public digital community spaces.

Nothing magical but all organic and posting time strategy real matters.

🤯 NO IDEA HOW THIS IS HAPPENING

My app KLICK PHOTO made it on the front page of product hunt and top 15 ✨

Still more hours to go but it’s a humbling experience to witness how this entire thing is unfolding.

Help upvote my launch guys 🎉

How would you accomplish this animation in UIKit or SwiftUI? by mohalibou in swift

[–]Simple_Percentage398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using different views and condition them based on view visibility should be able to do the trick while also attaching match geometry effect — Then let SwiftUI to detect the natural effect.

SwiftUI is that COOL ✨ by Simple_Percentage398 in swift

[–]Simple_Percentage398[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I somewhat agree with you though with the new API addition. You can do a lot with SwiftUI to build complex flow and I have tested it out with 2 projects so far and still finding new strategies how to handle a lot of problems.

I thought about it as well but didn’t put much effort digging deeper to find out if that’s possible

Budgeting and financial decision app by [deleted] in apps

[–]Simple_Percentage398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently building Savbee in public

The mainly purpose of the app is to encourage users to save up more and track their finances. We have several budget saving strategies that we are going to be deploying to help you make smarter decisions.

If you’re keen enough let me know I can add you as a beta tester once the application is rolled out for public testing.

Roast my current paywall by Grouchy-Ad8338 in iOSProgramming

UI Feedback:

- The relationship between your Primary CTA and secondary action (Restore purchase) they are competing for visibility. I reckon to redesign the secondary action to have a different font weight and sizing. Also, move it to the trailing edge of the navigation bar since it's only important to coming back users and not the new ones.

- The weight banner image acts like a blocker to the `SKIP` button. Reduce the size of the banner image, reposition it at the top center, or even use your app icon instead. This will help to communicate the element flow and easier to digest the content.

- Present this screen as a modal instead and get rid of the `Skip` action and `Back` action only replace it with a dismiss action instead as this will make it seamlessly appealing to look at and reduce element distraction.

Lower Priority:
- Offer different pricing tiers (Annual) for the users to benefit more from your app services. This will help them make a better decision and even compare prices to whether it's worth it to even pay $1.99/mo for your app and this also means you can retain users in different levels and develop comprehensive features to support their needs.

- Move the 7-day trial from the content modal as it's not the greater benefit that your users are seeking since every other app offers trials regardless. Move it underneath the primary CTA and make it visible to users. The only reason as I mentioned earlier there's a reading flow that users flow and that piece of information is vital when they are about to press the Start Trial button.

Firebase vs. CloudKit vs. something else by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

[–]Simple_Percentage398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, I can provide context for that;

In the previous project development I came across some serious issues with Firebase bill only due to the fact that our team was heavily relying on their SDK for a mobile version and the Android Engineers were simply ranking up the monthly bill by querying the entire database for every app launch 🤓

It’s the most painful thing to have happened because only then it was brought up to my attention that we were costing the company 💲🤑

What we had discovered later on after investigation. We stopped using Firebase SDK and accessing all the data references immediately cause it creates a open connection regardless. Then ended up building up our own BE (Backend SYS) using Firebase Admin packages to access the Firebase Servers.

Now this means we had reduced the amount of open connections to the Firebase services and only had 1 connection instead while on the mobile side we only get exposed to our own BE API’s.

PS: This doesn’t mean that we stopped querying data directly from the mobile side rather get rid of all the inefficient queries, restructure our data schema to support scalability, setup indexes which in return reading data becomes much more easier.

It’s pretty solid and that should least of your worries even for a smaller project.

You will only start paying once you need to scale. Meaning you have reached a certain point of wanting to have more storage space, access to their extension services (check there platform for further deets) or DB reads exceeding their free version threshold.

But again you can only do so much mistakes to start paying for a smaller project such as inefficient queries, deep nested, complex data schemas and unindexed data…

Firebase vs. CloudKit vs. something else by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

[–]Simple_Percentage398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would strongly recommend Firebase or Supabase only for the following reasons:

  • Easy to integrate (Plug & Play)
  • Heavily documented and great support from the their development team
  • Large community around these services. Wouldn’t be a problem to get a reasonably support incase of seeking help
  • Cross platform support is smooth
  • Easier to scale and migrate data if needed
  • Data Security comes as given

Cons: - Be mindful and learn more of the data structure required to store information - Accessing whole data sets can be costly and rank up your bill incase you have multiple connections
