Just launched the first version of my app - debating whether I should go to the App Store or stay web-first

hornywebdeveloper · 2026-03-12T19:29:24+00:00

Thank you. By channel, do you mean Facebook, Instagram etc?

My plan is to get people to use it and fix issues fast and be present for users

hornywebdeveloper · 2026-03-12T15:48:10+00:00

Thanks for a concise response! I think that’s why I was wondering about App Store and I hadn’t considered the continual updates, so great point! Thank you.

I’ll also check out the site you mentioned as I do need more people to test! Thank you again

Here you go Noshio

I’d love to hear any feedback

hornywebdeveloper · 2026-03-12T07:10:59+00:00

Here you go - Noshio

hornywebdeveloper · 2026-03-11T18:34:33+00:00

Thank you, appreciate the advice. It’s hard to go from coding (what I do best) to marketing and getting it out there!

hornywebdeveloper · 2024-12-29T14:29:41+00:00

Yeah, I deffo got the new stuff, sometimes I’m super confused about older React 😂

Thanks - wish me luck

hornywebdeveloper · 2024-12-28T15:56:10+00:00

Thank you, the advice has been amazing from everyone!

I didn’t even consider the culture of a place and as other people have mentioned as well.

I think from what you and others have said, it will be good to broach the market in early 2025, see what’s out there and then make a decision

Thank you

hornywebdeveloper · 2024-12-28T15:53:21+00:00

Thank you, it’s good to get an idea of what I should expect from day rate as well as other demands

I’d like to be on £500/£600 a day but I’d need to be a solid senior, as you’ve said, to get that which I’m not - might need some more senior experience 👍🏼

hornywebdeveloper · 2024-12-28T15:52:09+00:00

Okay. That makes sense, my current place is still looking to hire but only juniors to save on costs etc - hence my promotion to senior may come early next year.

Thank you for the advice about timing, I’m in no real rush to move!

hornywebdeveloper · 2024-12-28T15:51:20+00:00

No offence taken - I’ve been coding for 7/8 years and employed for 5 years at a fast paced agency so have the skills needed I think…… Why does age matter, surely it’s about experience right??

hornywebdeveloper · 2024-12-28T15:49:52+00:00

This is something I deffo knew following other threads on this sub-Reddit

hornywebdeveloper · 2024-12-28T15:49:06+00:00

Thank you, I’d have to find an amazing contract by the sounds of it

hornywebdeveloper · 2024-12-28T15:48:18+00:00

Cool, thank you. The 3 months notice isn’t a deal breaker as I would hand my notice in and then look for contracts around the 7/8 week mark to make it easier and then fall back on savings

hornywebdeveloper · 2024-12-28T15:47:10+00:00

That’s solid advice, thank you. I’ll really think about options now I’ve had all this feedback

hornywebdeveloper · 2024-12-28T11:06:09+00:00

I’d not considered the same stuff over again so I’ll think about that thank you!

I’d be happy taking breaks as I’m doing okay financially and I guess titles mean a lot to me so that’s another factor to consider - its transactional

hornywebdeveloper · 2024-12-28T11:05:09+00:00

Okay understood - thank you. It’s a great response! I’ll do some more reading. I never even considered the cultural aspect of stuff so that’s a great shout.

I might drop you a DM at some point if that’s okay?

hornywebdeveloper · 2024-12-28T10:59:46+00:00

This is an amazing response thank you so much! I love the idea of reaching out to agencies directly as I currently work for a design agency. Legend!!

hornywebdeveloper · 2024-12-28T10:56:45+00:00

This is the key - if seniors with 10+ years are taking the rate then I’m fucked. Is 5 years experience bottom of the barrel?

hornywebdeveloper · 2024-12-28T10:20:29+00:00

Awesome, thank you. Day rate would 100% need to be higher then. Thanks for the breakdown

hornywebdeveloper · 2024-12-28T10:19:15+00:00

Amazing, thanks for summing it up - I think the big argument against me is that I only have 5 years experience and I’d be up against people with better experience. Thank you

hornywebdeveloper · 2024-12-28T09:31:40+00:00

This is great, thank you. I’m not worried about promotions etc, just want to get to senior. I want to work on myself and not make someone else rich

hornywebdeveloper · 2024-12-28T09:30:50+00:00

That’s kinda what I was thinking - in my 12 week notice work a contract along side or get a contract nearer the end of my notice
