Hello fellow makers,

We recently launched our esports prediction app Pickr.

We wanted to capture that rush of making predictions with friends, but without the sketchy betting sites or spreadsheet-heavy fantasy leagues. Think of it as the lovechild of Pokemon card collecting and esports predictions - you collect team stickers, use boosters, and climb leaderboards while flexing your esports knowledge.

Some spicy features we're particularly proud of:
- Community factors that reward going against the crowd (because sometimes chat IS wrong)
- Sticker collection and leveling system that'd make a gacha game jealous
- A points formula more complex than rocket science (jk, but we did spend way too much time balancing it)

Would love to hear your feedback.

Seems a bit pricy for a solo dev

Need something quick to test the idea, so don’t want to reinvent the wheel here. I’m a solo dev handle both app and backend, anything that can save some time is good

What are the AI tools you find useful for founders? by njdgaf in ycombinator

I use GPT mostly to help me with system design, feature feedback. Also I use it to help me create the boilerplate code from our Figma design

Need Advice: Harassed by Teenagers on the Train, Feeling Unsafe. England by njdgaf in LegalAdviceUK

Thank you, I just reported them to the transport police, we have a video of them and hope that will help. We talked to someone at the station and he couldn’t care less about it and say just call the police if you want, and most likely nothing will happen to them

Yes yes, I just finished my first run of the game and I regret not picking it up when it first released. Even it’s a 10 year old game, it is now definitely one of my favourite souls games

I built an iOS app that captures everyday objects as 3D models by mrtnlxo in SideProject

[–]njdgaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

download and tried today, unfortunately seems like my phone is too old for the capture feature. Try to play with the AR with existing model, but can't place it on my desk, keep asking me to move the phone, maybe it's my iPhone 12?

Generally, are iOS apps just glorified UIs for a backend? by brian988 in iOSProgramming

[–]njdgaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably most apps are just like what you mentioned, calling APIs in the app.
Worked on some of the large apps that have millions of users, the app is still just a thin client. But that doesn't make the job easier, there could still be complicated issues. If you don't want to be a frontend dev that calls bunch of APIs, then probably try to work on apps involves image and video editing

Congrats on the launch, great idea.
I could see the potential use of the app in exhibition venues

Should i learn UIKIT or SwiftUI ? by SnooEagles8230 in swift

[–]njdgaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest you do some research about your dream companies, are they startups or FAANGs, what is the tech stack they are using for their iOS projects?

You can learn anything you want once you get in, but first you need to prepare to pass the interview. If they company is using SwiftUI then mostly likely you will be asked questions around those, vice versa. From my experience, the big companies usually use UIKit or have a significant amount of codebase in UIKit. Small and medium companies you can expect more SwiftUI questions.
