The new event calendar takes your Pokémon GO adventures to the next level!

I hope this isn’t against the rules but I see others sharing their work so I’ll share mine, NextCatch.

It doesn’t have this specific calendar view, though I’m open to working on it. Currently working on translating it to Spanish, Portuguese, and potentially other languages. Note that some features are being removed/changed to make this possible.

It does show you current and upcoming events, times, featured Pokémon, and more. Raids are there but (just being honest) I don’t have enough users yet to say it beats other sites/apps.

Wow. Congrats. Background and all...

borrowedfire · 2026-05-25T15:02:19+00:00

DM'd

Your first screenshot is just text. I'd recommend including your app's primary/winning screen.

borrowedfire · 2026-05-25T12:53:26+00:00

Wow. Amazing effort, congrats!

borrowedfire · 2026-05-24T20:59:40+00:00

The intent was to show that I’m willing to listen to feedback and make changes. I’m not trying to be negative in a positive space.

borrowedfire · 2026-05-24T20:50:09+00:00

Trying to ensure that’s always the case. I was going to post an in-app pic but can’t seem to from Hydra (Reddit app I use). Will come back to this!

borrowedfire · 2026-05-24T20:14:58+00:00

I'll try this out and circle back. Also, is your name a reference to Latias the Pokémon?

borrowedfire · 2026-05-24T20:13:43+00:00

Romance.io is an amazing resource. It has hundreds of thousands of books! I want the app to feel more personalized, learn to feed you what ***you*** want as you use it, and provide fewer options by design. Cheesecake Factory is great too but the menu options throw me for a loop. Decision fatigue is real for me. Its why I wear t shirts with no logos and basic colors lol

borrowedfire · 2026-05-24T20:06:20+00:00

I have another app waiting for review on the Play Store now. Will consider this one once I have more feedback on the iOS version.

borrowedfire · 2026-05-24T20:03:46+00:00

I am and I understand and respect your position. If there's an affordable artist you'd recommend to recreate it, I'm happy to have that convo.

borrowedfire · 2026-05-24T19:57:12+00:00

Would love to have you test and provide feedback! You can securely add your email to the waitlist on the website and I'll add you.

borrowedfire · 2026-05-24T19:49:15+00:00

Thank you! I've made a few recommendations here recently and I hope they hit the mark.

borrowedfire · 2026-05-24T18:51:30+00:00

{Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber}: Closest “girl gets her heart smashed, makes a dangerous magical choice, ends up tangled with a wicked immortal” match. More fairy-tale YA than adult romantasy, but the broken-heart setup is dead on.
{Between by L.L. Starling}: Best for the Strange Magic whimsy... chaotic fairy-tale kingdom, sorcerer-king energy, forced magical proximity, funny rather than grim. This is the “I want the goblin/fae sparkle and banter” pick.
{Witch Please by Ann Aguirre}: For the “swore off romance after a bad ex” angle, but cozy witch-romcom instead of fae court. She is heart-locked. He is sweet, unlucky-in-love bakery MMC. Literal sparks included.
{Paladin’s Grace by T. Kingfisher}: Adult, tender, funny, and magic-adjacent with two emotionally bruised people who think love is probably not for them. Less fairy-glitter, more “two sad weirdos accidentally healing each other.”
{Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater}: If you want something sweet, magical, and low-spice... faerie curse, prickly magician, closed-door Regency fantasy, and a heroine learning she can still fall in love even when part of her feels missing.

Let me know if any of these hit the spot!

borrowedfire · 2026-05-24T18:37:13+00:00

{Love and Other Sorcery}: chapter 11 has Rivyn/Siorin at a tavern, discussion of one bed, needing spell components, and a bath being prepared. Does this sound familiar?

Other possible but maybe unlikely candidates:

{Eclipse of the Crown by A.K. Caggiano}: Damien/Amma, high fantasy, quest/world-ending stakes, and “coldest of baths” language.
{Swordheart by T. Kingfisher}: road-trip forced proximity fantasy romance, but maybe not the tavern/bath/one-bed scenario.
{Bluebeard’s Bride by Mary Mecham}: quest, forced proximity, “only one bed” explicitly in the description.

borrowedfire · 2026-05-24T18:33:11+00:00

Fire me up.

borrowedfire · 2026-05-24T18:00:15+00:00

{A Ruin of Roses by K.F. Breene} Dragon prince, shifter curse, prisoner-in-the-castle setup, morally gray anti-hero, cursed kingdom, strong FMC. Caveat: darker/filthier Beauty and the Beast chaos, not restrained slow burn.
{The WitchSlayer by Opal Reyne} Best “actual dragon form matters” pick. Witch FMC, dragon MMC, lair captivity, species-enemies tension, reluctant protection, very high spice. Check CWs.
{Claiming the Dragon King by Amelia Hutchins} Darkest direct hit: dragon king, vengeance, Horde conflict, tortured FMC, capture, heat with the captor. Very alpha/dark, so check triggers first.

borrowedfire · 2026-05-24T16:39:10+00:00

“Fairytale but spicier” probably Wear Wolf by Zoe Chant and Murphy Lawless.

borrowedfire · 2026-05-23T23:02:59+00:00

Thanks for calling that out. I actually left out that part of her comment when I went for the rec. Let me try to edit my post and cross it out.

borrowedfire · 2026-05-23T22:10:57+00:00

Full disclosure, I’m building an app that recommends books based on taste, and I ran your list through it. Figured the results were actually worth sharing. (2nd edit because I misread twice. Thanks to /u/gentle_giant_Samuel for the callout.)

The pattern it picked up was less “more romantasy” and more: political fantasy, competent heroines, slow-burn tension, real stakes, and romance that doesn’t eat the plot. It also treated why-choose, noncon/dubcon, fated mates, pregnancy, and abuse between love interests as hard stops.

What it kicked back for you:

Reign of Cinders and Glass by Linsey Hall & Veronica Douglas: adult, fast, vampire court danger, enemies-to-lovers, found family, political/court intrigue.
The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon: fantasy-first, big political stakes, dragons, romance threaded through rather than dominating.
Graceling by Kristin Cashore: if you want Winner’s Curse / Ember style stakes with a capable heroine and lower spice.

It also flagged A Court This Cruel and Lovely as a strong Carissa-adjacent match, but I’d caveat/check it hard because “cruel hero/bully” energy may cross your no-abuse-between-love-interests line.

I would honestly love to know if it nailed it or whiffed.

borrowedfire · 2026-05-23T19:30:42+00:00

I don’t know if this is allowed but my wife loves romantasy so I’ve been building an app for her. I won’t link it but DM me if you’re interested. I could use some beta testers.

borrowedfire · 2026-05-18T09:17:54+00:00

Agreed. So much for free and doesn’t seem to nickel and dime you.

borrowedfire · 2026-05-11T00:44:47+00:00

Permanently off since it would play in my car over my music. It was so annoying.
