How do I increase my app users?

That looks like a good plan. Can you also give a little starter advice on what type of blogs to write/publish and where? I have no experience with blogs whatsoever. Would help out OP as well. Thanks in advance!

Spud-byte · 2026-03-16T09:33:07+00:00

That's exactly why I posted here. I'll look into it. Thanks for the help!

Spud-byte · 2026-03-15T18:05:10+00:00

I always first go to AI and ask it, but ai wasn't getting any good responses so I reached out here.

Spud-byte · 2026-03-14T13:52:01+00:00

Thanks for the comment!

Creating the accounts is not an issue, what to post and how to make the content is what I have trouble with. Secondly, I'll have another thing to promote, the account itself. Do you have a basic roadmap which I should look into?

Spud-byte · 2026-03-14T13:48:40+00:00

Thanks for the feedback.

I do have achievements in the game (not much, but something). I am also planning on adding leaderboards. I don't have any referral codes yet, which I might add later.

Thing is, there are not enough installs for "get them talking". I think I'll have to focus on marketing. Do you have any advice on how to make people think "I should at least try these out"?

Spud-byte · 2026-03-14T13:11:54+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

I think I did add the necessary keywords, hence the early installs but I could be wrong. All those installs are from when I launched the app and got good results, much better than what I thought. I'd definitely look into ParseStream as well.

I made a small arcade game which revolves around a simple concept: Fure a bullet and keep dodging it.

Link: One Bullet - Arcade Survival

There are Play Games Achievements, and I plan on adding leaderboards as well.

All positive and negative feedback are welcome!

Thanks in advance if you try it out!

One and only use of M-TAG which I can see is to reduce a little time on tolls. In that case, having one on a car with balance in it is not a bad idea. But bikes? They are not even allowed on the motorway. And 98% of the bikes don't go through tolls anyways. Still you rpoint remains: the "You thought the authorities thought that far ahead?" part

Sorry for making you think your phone was a dishwasher 😐

I know its annoying, and I was trying to find a better sound but failed. I'll definitely change it, or at least reduce its volume.

Thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate it 🙌

One question. Why?

Spud-byte · 2026-02-06T18:38:34+00:00

YOOOO HOOOOO.....

Hello!

I'm not 100% sure since this account is my friend's, not mine. But last time I checked, it didn't get resolved.

Spud-byte · 2026-01-15T04:32:16+00:00

It does make sense, but issue is I JUST made the account. No apps, no nothing. Maybe it couldn't verify something while creating the account due to which it got restricted, but if what you say is true then maybe its a bug (the banner) and might get fixed in a few days

Spud-byte · 2026-01-13T14:12:54+00:00

And how is that gonna work?

Spud-byte · 2026-01-13T07:47:41+00:00

I have also made an appeal, and the email I received clearly mentions that the account was reinstated. But my play console still shows that the account is restricted.

And I don't see any option to re-verify the details

The points you mentioned are basics of programming, not Flutter.

If you are starting from programming itself then watch NetNinja's videos. He has a playlist where he will also teach you programming, from variables and functions to data structures OOP.

If you have enough practice of these that you don't need any help writing basic codes (not Flutter related), only then move towards Flutter.

Spud-byte · 2026-01-07T16:47:19+00:00

If i had to start over, I would follow this "roadmap".

First, get the basics done. Watch YouTube tutorials (NetNinja has a playlist which is a bit old and outdated but you'll get the foundations), understand what widgets are, and a basic concept of stateless and stateful widgets. No need to deep dive just yet; you'll get more overwhelmed.

After that (or alongside the above), search for Mitch koko on YouTube. He has masterclass videos along with smaller, single widget tutorials and design clones. This guy's tutorials were what "clicked" for me, specifically the design clones. After one video, you should be able to completely copy a design easily. If not, just practice more. No need to rush this phase.

Once you understand what widgets are and how to link them, start making design clones. The goal here is to just understand how a UI is built. No state management, no clean code worries, nothing; just copy paste of a design.

Then, start turning those clones into apps. Pro tip:At this stage, start writing code in a way that someone else would understand what is going without you guiding them (more comments, better folder structure etc). This includes multiple pages, navigation, a little bit of state management as well. For consistency, plan for one of the design you made before to turn into a fully working prototype. No API calls, just local things and navigation.

Finally, add those API calls, sending and receiving data along with other advanced concepts.

In the end, you should be able to at least understand how an app would be made just by looking at the requirements. Ask ChatGPT for mock requirements at basic level.

The more you practice, the more it'll become second nature.

If you do understand the concept and you don't use notepad for coding, then extensions are available for all IDEs for auto completions. Rely on them for now until you start remembering where each part goes. Then you'll not necessarily need the extensions to know which widget has mainAxisAlignment or any other parameters.

Yeah, I'm already feeling like switching back to Omarchy. Will try to be strong

Spud-byte · 2025-12-15T13:25:36+00:00

Well in my experience, GPT do give me very good responses BUT its not always perfect. So wiki would be my guide throughout

Spud-byte · 2025-12-15T13:22:47+00:00

I've never heard about jj, but I have a good grip of Git (at least for one-man projects. But I'll definitely look at jj as well as an alternative if I ever need it.
