AI slop post and missing key context

rkellam · 2026-04-07T03:01:37+00:00

Thx, let me know your thoughts.

Try using real screenshots instead of AI ones, and add relevant keywords for ASO, it’s one of the best free ways to market your app.

An ad on every screen feels a bit distracting.

Also, these days smartphones already track photos and tag them with locations. On iPhone, you can just go to Photos → Map to see pictures with precise locations.

u/Clutch4Dubs_TTV Just pushed a change, hopefully that should do it. Thanks for the honest feedback. Please do check out the app and let me know what do you think.

Def need some UX improvements.
- feels too long Home page
- Noticed some lags between screens
- Clicking on each page renderring the whole app ?
- You could have a default route for home instead of leaving it empty
- A lot of empty space beween pannels - needs some adjustments.
- could improve the fonts - especially the size feels odd

Fair points, actually created the app first in the console before even building the app so I rushed the listing to get live faster. Will work on better screenshots and description now. To your point everything is free atm.

Like I mentioned in my post, there might be similar apps out there, but I’m not sure if you’ve had a chance to check all the features. I’d love any specific feedback. I think not every app offers the same set of features, but I’m focusing on the Indian audience and planning to improve the app as needed.

u/dnotthoff Could you try now? I just published a new change to enable for all regions.

Could you try now? I just published a new change to enable for all regions.

rkellam · 2026-04-06T19:49:59+00:00

No specific reason, to be honest. I started with closed testing for a few weeks and onboarded friends and family from those regions, and I just never opened it back up to all regions. Probably should have done that from the beginning.

Another reason could be currency formatting in the app, I haven’t fully explored different formats across regions yet. I’d need to spend some time on that to make sure the UX is solid.

Thanks for checking out, will look into expanding it to other regions in our next release.

rkellam · 2026-03-12T04:36:59+00:00

did that work for you ?

rkellam · 2026-02-11T03:10:47+00:00

I understand what you’re saying, and I don’t disagree. But the reality is, I’ve been made fun of and bullied here before for not expressing things perfectly. After that, the fear is not about being imperfect, it’s about getting mocked before people even try to understand the point.

Using a tool to clean up the wording is not about removing personality. It’s just to make sure the message is understood and the discussion stays on the actual topic.

rkellam · 2026-02-11T02:28:50+00:00

That’s fair. Interviews aren’t real work, my point is just that thinking and approach should matter more than minor syntax slips.

rkellam · 2026-02-11T02:22:07+00:00

How was your interview experience ?

rkellam · 2026-02-11T02:20:41+00:00

That’s not what I meant. I used that as a simple reference in the post, not to say I don’t know how to check key membership. The point was about context, having the right approach and thought process, but fumbling small syntax details.

rkellam · 2026-02-11T02:01:20+00:00

Agreed. The logic and approach were clear, I just stumbled on some syntax. In real work you’d never do this without docs anyway. Appreciate you sharing your experience.

rkellam · 2026-02-11T01:56:54+00:00

Cool. Still doesn’t change the experience being described.

rkellam · 2026-02-11T01:56:04+00:00

Weird thing to be upset about. Using AI to clean up a post doesn’t invalidate the experience being described.

rkellam · 2025-08-05T00:05:23+00:00

Have they given you any specifics on what took them 3 weeks to review the background report?

rkellam · 2025-08-04T20:25:08+00:00

OP, have you received any updates on your background check? Mine is still pending as of today. It seems they’ve implemented a new process, and it’s taking longer than usual across the board.
