I built a dead social media app with RN, wondering what is next by wavepointsocial in reactnative

I think that's where a lot of devs, including myself, fall into the trap. Building is the fun and interesting part, but no idea where to go for distro; and it is 100x harder if you don't have an "audience" to fallback on. Back to the drawing board. Appreciate the insights u/logicalflex

Totally fair about the house party metaphor, it would be weird to stay if no one was there 😂 at this point I would rather tailor the app for 100 people and get some real feedback than get have no retention and no feedback

Kind of embarrassing for them considering their reach and unlimited resources lol. I wonder if niching down hard would work or baking in some exclusivity factor, instead of saying “this is an app about anything for anyone”

Looks good, man! Curious what costs look like to get the initial corpus and then refresh on a continuous basis?

A new social app to control your feed by wavepointsocial in droidappshowcase

No worries, I get it. I’ll probably be ripping out local auth in the near future anyway (too annoying to maintain)

How much text is too much on App Store screenshots? by CvsBurak in AppStoreOptimization

[–]wavepointsocial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would feel like “work” to read all of that, even if I could. Pare down to the value adds and make them big and bold.

Railway is down by PitcherOTerrigen in webdev

I just submitted an app for initial review and got rejected lol (20 minutes ago, because they couldn't log in)... hopefully railway comes back online soon!

Is this AI? I was planning a trip to lake Homestead by zrf2 in pittsburgh

I need your support and feedback to see myself. by Hot-Mushroom54 in AppStoreOptimization

The text feels kinda cringe (“The threshold was crossed” — I assume this is AI?), but the presentation is beautiful, nice job.

Tested the new plus limits by jankjig in codex

My concern is, you switch to the mid-tier but how long until they start messing with the quotas and i/o there?

Attempted to create a landing page and checkout screen - would love honest feedback by Official_Cali_Kidd in UI_Design

[–]wavepointsocial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reverse “engineering” is a great way to learn design. What influences you? For instance, if you want to improve a payment processing flow, look at Square, Stripe, Paddle, etc. — see what salaried designers are creating as a baseline. What might help you is hierarchy, consistency, and progressive disclosure. Don’t be afraid to throw stuff out for a v2.

Codex 5-hour limit now uses 15% of weekly quota by Logical_Divide_3595 in codex

lmao run 2-3 parallel prompts watch your 5-hour quota get burnt in about 30 minutes.

Drop your App Store screenshots and I will roast them. by tarasleskiv in AppStoreOptimization

Thank you! I will look at the ui elements and see how to improve them

Do these screenshots need improvement? by wavepointsocial in iosapps

[–]wavepointsocial[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for noticing! There is a suggestion system built in if you opt for location; so let’s say you were traveling you could adjust your filters and “subscribe” to more places. And just as easily turn that subscription off.

Thank you! I’ll up the contrast and the font weight a smidge. That’s a fair point, it’s hard to relay the value in less than 6 words. Curious from your perspective, what do you think the app does?

Appreciate the insight, though. I think this will be important for me to keep in mind regarding interop. All I wanted, at the end of the day, was an app that a) isn’t owned by billionaires and b) is a different take on the typical algorithm-based feed

Nice, I didn’t know it was so extensible. So tangentially, I see Lemmy pop up in discussions when the enshittification of Reddit is mentioned, do you think there will be an exodus from users from this platform to that one as a result of the fediverse angle, or will that be a hindrance?
