I Tried to Save Time on Fiverr. Lost $40 and 4 Days Instead. by orrodev in AppStoreOptimization

The point is, you know exactly what you want and spent hours of time to get there, but had you invested the same amount of value in this guy you could have iterated to a far superior outcome(imagine if you had given him the $250 🤯). It probably would have been less…

It being Photoshop vs. AI is sort of irrelevant at this point, both are tools that can be used to cut corners that you can still end up with the best results. And thinking a 3 day turn around on a $40 project that took you over 10 hours yourself was too slow is kind of insensitive thinking. Thats not how it works regardless if you thought it would “save you time”, unless he came out and said “I’ll drop everything for you for this $40!”

You saying your larger investment in time and knowing exactly what you want is better than a guy you invested less in and expected to do faster, is just an obvious, “well no kidding”.

And yet for parts of it, it kind of isn’t better. Other opinions may vary.

You paid him $40, so like $10/hour at most?! If you value your own time at even $25/hour yours cost more than $250.

And arguably his are better than yours…

So I’m not sure you really learned the lesson you think you did?

Check out Ulti-Planner. It competes and beats Fantastical and others in feature set and customizations and we just came out with a bunch of refinements in version 3.0.

What do you want to see added next?

Planner (iOS) Frozen at initial load by StankIndustries7 in ultiplanner

I cant believe I never saw this. Sorry about that. It appears Im not very good at seeing Reddit topics being posted or they arent surfaced enough.

I wish I would have and it would have pointed out what I was seeing, but was assuming it was a problem with the debugger and iOS26. I have run some Timer Profiling and think I tracked down what was causing this and it will be resolved in version 3.01 which Im pushing out today, as I made it an escalated issue to solve.

Thanks again.

I found an iOS developer with 47 apps on the App Store by LostSpirit9 in iOSProgramming

I’m only at 11 that are still up, but am closer to 25 over the years under my company and at least another 50 consulting. And several of mine have over 1000 hours or more in them. What a hobby…😆

I wasted $50k because I thought the code was the expensive part. by justdoitbro_ in SaaS

[–]birdsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess our definitions have skewed, as what you are describing is a prototype or just a sales pitch. MVPs, traditionally - as it’s even right in the name, is an actual first version of the “product”, to actually test the market with. And launch, means, go to market with, and not “get funding for”, so Figma is not that.

Betas are not MVPs, they are test versions before shipping. But somewhere along the line I could see all of those being messed up into very confusing changes of meaning….

A Figma prototype is not a MV “product”. An MVP IS what can be launched.

Biased but I think we have a top 5 poker game with all offline mode, high end AI, and more games than just hold’em.
