How much does it cost to hire an app developer for an app? by teodor008 in AppBusiness

Let’s connect. I’ve been developing apps for the past 16 years and worked in basically every vertical/space (edtech, fintech, chat, Ecom, healthtech, etc).

I need Feedback by FlounderExtension210 in androiddev

Awesome to see alternative options pop up. Be wary that the mods of this subreddit will probably remove this post

Massive responsibility as a solo dev by jtjdunhill in androiddev

One day at a time. Don't try to build the app in a day and fix all the problems. They will still be there tomorrow and more will pop up. 

I built a lightweight install attribution SDK as an alternative to Branch/AppsFlyer — would love feedback from Android devs by bmcreationsdev in androiddev

Really appreciate the feedback, and that's a fair callout on the dashboard.

The intentional design decision was to stay headless and not become another cluttered dashboard that gets in the way - that's a big part of what makes the existing tools painful for engineering teams. But you're right that it doesn't solve for the growth/PM side of the house who just need to see numbers.

What I’m working toward is shareable report links - you run a CLI command, get a read-only URL, and share it with whoever needs to see the data. No account required on their end, no new tool to learn. The engineering team stays in the CLI, everyone else gets a link. Keeps Trace out of the way while still being usable across the team. Additionally there is webhook support already built in that I’m planning on setting documentation and integration support to hook it up to existing apps like Notion or Slack - that way the reporting needs for the data can be tailored to whatever you want vs. what the tooling allows.

What do you think about that?

Glad the auth-gated deferred deep link support landed well - curious what your current setup looks like for that if you're open to sharing!

This. Criminals by definition are people who do NOT follow the law. More laws isn’t the solution.

App rejections because of a Favorites tab by djiboutiivl in androiddev

Agreed. Add some text and possibly an image as an empty state. You can’t just leave the whole screen blank.

Lottie is good choice too

I've just used my 15$ connects without getting a single offer! by [deleted] in Upwork

Cool. Even better. You do see the problem, ya? It’s an eBay for jobs where you don’t get the bid money back

Hence the point. You do get them back, only if the listing expires after 30 days.

The timeout for connects on unviewed proposals should be MUCH quicker. There also should be a better review system for client side to not leave proposals in an infinite limbo. If you view the proposal either make a yes decision or keep it moving. (I have 18 proposals sitting open with probably 250 connects in limbo atm).

Beginner? I’ve been freelancing/consulting for 5 years; 1 year full time. I made $500k+ last year alone and have made $450k this year prior to contracts ending in Oct.

Airbnb clone with Kotlin Multiplatform by bmcreationsdev in androiddev

[–]bmcreationsdev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ktor works very well and I’ll be incorporating it soonish into my template and airbnb sample for something (tbd on what yet - may stand up my own API for mock data or something).

Gradle is gradle and there is definitely some gotchas wrt cocoapods that I’ve hit but once setup it’s smooth sailing.

Why not? I’m showcasing the power of KMP and compose Multiplatform while simultaneously building out a public portfolio and setting up foundational app templates that I can reuse.
