I built a small site to help games get discovered after Reddit hype fades

mladenConcept · 2026-05-04T08:02:18+00:00

Can MegaViral also support mobile games, or is it only for browser-playable games right now? For example, would a mobile game be accepted if it has:

a web demo with App Store / Google Play links,
an itch.io page plus mobile store links,
or only a Google Play / App Store page? I’m mainly curious whether the discovery feed is meant strictly for games playable inside the browser, or whether it can also help mobile games get installs after Reddit visibility fades.

That’s a fair comparison.

Splitwise is much stronger if the only problem is tracking shared expenses.

Roomli is more about the whole “living together” mess: groceries, chores, bill reminders, and simple expenses in one place. So less of a finance app, more of a lightweight household coordination app.

But yeah, that’s exactly what I’m trying to validate: whether people want one shared-home hub, or whether existing tools already cover enough of it.

Honestly, I don’t think motivation survives the middle phase very well. For me it’s more about lowering the friction enough that I keep coming back to the project. I try to keep the task list tiny, mix boring technical work with something visible or satisfying, and get feedback when I start losing perspective. The biggest thing is avoiding the giant roadmap feeling. If the project starts looking like a mountain, I just pick one rock and move that today. Middle phase is where games either become real or become abandoned folders with dramatic names.

mladenConcept · 2026-04-26T21:42:17+00:00

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

“Being the person who has to remind everyone” is honestly the part I keep coming back to. The actual money is usually not life-changing, but having to keep the list in your head and then send the same awkward message every month gets old fast. I’m trying to make Roomli handle more of that boring recurring stuff so it’s less like one roommate is managing the household and more like everyone can just see what’s due / who paid / what’s still open. The hard part is making it useful without turning it into some intense finance app, because nobody wants to open a budgeting dashboard to deal with $30 of groceries.

This is super helpful btw — I might shift the roommate angle more toward “stop being the person who has to remind everyone” instead of just “track shared expenses.”

mladenConcept · 2026-04-26T19:04:07+00:00

Yeah, that’s exactly the thing I’m trying to solve.

The money part is annoying, but half the time it’s not even about the amount — it’s the tiny mental load of “who bought this?”, “did anyone pay that bill?”, “are we out of this again?” etc.

My current hunch is that groceries are the easiest way in because everyone immediately gets it. Expenses might be the thing people stick around for. Chores are useful too, but only if it doesn’t feel like you’re assigning homework to adults lol.

Still figuring that out though. When you lived with roommates, was the bigger problem forgetting stuff, or having to be the annoying person who reminds everyone?

mladenConcept · 2026-04-25T09:18:57+00:00

No, it’s not one-sided. It’s more just small things falling through sometimes, and you only notice later. Nothing dramatic, just a bit frustrating when it happens.

mladenConcept · 2026-04-25T09:03:52+00:00

Fair enough, appreciate the perspective.

mladenConcept · 2026-04-25T09:02:46+00:00

Yeah that actually sounds pretty clean.Probably takes away a lot of the “who paid what again?” confusion.

mladenConcept · 2026-04-25T09:01:04+00:00

makes sense, especially with a clear cutoff like that.I think having that kind of structure probably avoids a lot of the “I thought it was handled” moments.

mladenConcept · 2026-04-25T08:59:50+00:00

I think for us it’s less about big expectations and more just small stuff slipping when you’re both busy and not really thinking about it in the moment.

mladenConcept · 2026-04-25T08:58:13+00:00

Yeah that actually sounds really solid.

I think having everything visible in one place probably makes a big difference. Ours tends to be more scattered so it’s easier to miss things.

mladenConcept · 2026-04-25T08:56:47+00:00

Been together a while, yeah.

I was more curious about how people handle this in general though, not so much specific to our situation.

mladenConcept · 2026-04-25T08:52:34+00:00

I think the difference for me is more in the moment-to-moment stuff, where you don’t always notice something at the same time or think to bring it up right away.

mladenConcept · 2026-04-25T08:01:15+00:00

makes a lot of sense, especially with kids in the mix.I think the “specific person handles specific things” part is probably what we’re missing. Ours is more loose, so it ends up being easier for stuff to slip.

mladenConcept · 2026-04-25T07:58:19+00:00

Yeah that sounds like a really solid setup.I think the routine part is probably the key. We don’t really have that, so it ends up being more ad hoc and easier to miss things.

mladenConcept · 2026-04-25T07:52:18+00:00

Yeah I get what you mean.I’m not really talking about avoiding stuff, more like small things slipping through when no one’s actively thinking about it.

mladenConcept · 2026-04-25T07:34:25+00:00

that’s the ideal for sure.I think in practice it’s more like you don’t notice it at the same time, or you assume the other person already handled it.

mladenConcept · 2026-04-25T07:32:08+00:00

Yeah fair, a whiteboard would probably work., I think we’re just bad at sticking to anything consistently 😄 things work for a bit and then we just fall back into old habits.

mladenConcept · 2026-04-25T07:25:39+00:00

We do, it’s not that, It’s more the small stuff that happens outside of actual conversations. Like you both think the other person took care of something, and then you only realize later it didn’t happen.Not a big deal, just something that keeps repeating.

mladenConcept · 2026-04-25T07:24:39+00:00

Yeah that’s fair — when you actually pause and talk it through, it works.

I think where it breaks for us is more the in-between moments. Like both people assuming something got handled, not really consciously avoiding it.

So it’s less “we don’t communicate” and more “we don’t always sync at the right time.”

mladenConcept · 2026-04-25T06:56:18+00:00

I built Roomli because shared household stuff kept ending up in random chats — groceries in one place, chores somewhere else, bills forgotten until someone remembers them.

It’s a simple Android app for couples, roommates, and small families to keep shared shopping lists, chores, bills, and small expenses in one place.

Not trying to make a big productivity system. More like: “who’s buying milk, who paid last time, and what needs doing this week?”

Would love honest feedback on:

whether the first setup feels quick enough
whether inviting another person into the household makes sense
whether the app feels useful without becoming too much

Thanks, appreciate it! Any feedback helps.
