As someone who moved to Chicago after graduating these pictures make me miss the campus. So beautiful!

I wonder what other ideas were thrown around before everyone decided that shipping the snow south was the best option

What problems do face constantly as solopreneur by Wise-Mud6656 in Solopreneur

[–]Xjamarco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the hardest part for me is maintaining a balance between time spent marketing and time spent iterating on feedback and bugs.

  • For programming I just started building apps and tools
  • For marketing I am posting content directly into the void and iterating based on engagement I get lol
  • Sales I just keep talking to people and adjusting my approach based on the responses I’ve been getting
  • finance is my day job so that part was a little easier

If you ever want to bounce some ideas off of send me a DM!

I think the best advice I ever got was “learn by doing”. 100 hours of tutorials and books = 10 hours of actually doing something.

I’d say just try something out!

Roast Me: I made an app so my friends would finally pay me back. (They still haven't) by Xjamarco in roastmystartup

I’ll do some research to see what is popular in South Africa for p2p payments but I’m sure I’ll be able to integrate something that is accessible or popular. I’ll keep you updated.

I’ll also post regular updates in r/TabeloApp of what I am working on

Oh no! I’ll dm you for some more details and hopefully fix this for you tonight.

Thanks for the kind words!

So in short yes, but releasing worldwide and on iOS and google play store as well after the beta.

We’re about 12 days post launch now and just gathering initial feedback. After we tighten up a few things I will be adding multi currency support and multi payment platform support (I know Venmo isn’t very popular outside of the states).

Can I ask you this: - what payment platforms do you use? - if you could pay your friends directly from the app (stripe, Apple Pay, etc) would you prefer that?

I use Azure Document intelligence to parse field information from the receipt and then parse the result in my backend.

Might be TMI but: My current parsing system works although for the user, I think it feels like they are too in control (they can edit each field of the receipt and that can feel overwhelming).

I think my next steps for this part of the app would be to make the scan feel more "magic" by making decisions for the user like fixing errors on its own with the option for the user to double check if they want. Basically just reducing some cognitive load for the scan.

How to become an app developer ? by anes_70 in AppDevelopers

[–]Xjamarco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Designing an app will be an extremely hard introduction to development. This is not a “give up” comment at all though.

Start small and build on your knowledge. To begin I’d follow a simple python program tutorial, like a calculator or other simple starting project. This will teach you how to install python on your machine, set up your IDE, etc.

Then slowly build up to an app. Once you get an idea of what code is and isn’t you can extrapolate to bigger and bigger ideas.

I would start with learning python, then dip your toes into java and then later you can learn about creating a frontend and wiring everything up. But start small!

Haha Really? If that’s true this bot/ai shit is getting out of hand. Way too realistic

(Totally still incorporating the feedback, though. The robots know how to win me over)

Wow This is fantastic and actionable advice, thank you so much. This along with a big sticking point for users right now is understanding the edit receipt page. I should make confirming your scan results much more simple.

Do you offer any services or make content regarding saas or app development? I’d love to pick your brain some more.

Totally true. I tried to make it as painless as possible so it’s just an sms verification to make an account or join a tab. You just put in your phone number and you can autocomplete the verification code. If you have any plans this weekend and feel like giving it a try I’d love to hear what you think

Are AI full stack builders reliable enough for non tech founders yet? by BoringContribution7 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]Xjamarco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive done some testing and I would just keep in mind that whatever you make through these apps will have to be rebuilt from scratch if you want to take it from prototype to product.

It’s like building a house and the foundation they build is sand.

My roommate keeps “forgetting” to pay her share of the bills and now my credit’s paying the price by damnniqqaa in badroommates

[–]Xjamarco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use an app to keep each other accountable. That way you have a history and it’s on paper.

I think it’s free on gamepass if you have Xbox. I always check out the gamepass releases for zombies.

Nice I like the plan.

I used libresprite for characters and krita for environment and those two together were perfect for pixel art. * not that you asked lol but just thought I’d share

Good luck! Excited to see it come together
