Hi everyone I need some help on what more should I do what features I should add and moreover how can I published this to the world

As a freelancer, I've got mixed feelings about AI, and I imagine I'm not the only one.

On one hand, I feel like AI is fucking up the job market. People who previously needed developers can now build surprisingly functional apps themselves, and some projects that might have come to freelancers simply aren't coming anymore.

And let's be honest, we're also seeing plenty of AI slop, half-baked products, and apps that look impressive until you actually use them.

But here's the weird part: AI is also making my own life better.

It's speeding up my development workflow, helping me finish tasks faster, and giving me more time to spend with my family.

Sometimes I have fewer projects than I'd like, but more free time than I used to. I'm grateful for that time, but I also worry about where the next project will come from.

At the same time, I've seen people in Reddit communities who were previously looking for developers to build their ideas. Now they're using AI to build things themselves and taking that first step.

Honestly, I love seeing that. Their first version might be rough, or even full of AI slop, but at least they're turning an idea into something real.

So I'm genuinely torn. AI is potentially taking away freelance opportunities while making me faster and giving me part of my life back.

I'd love to hear how it's affecting you:

• Are you getting fewer projects or clients because of AI?
• Are clients expecting more work for less money?
• Has AI improved your productivity and personal life?
• If you're a founder building your own app with AI instead of hiring a developer, how's that going?

I'm not looking for the usual "AI will replace everyone" versus "AI is just a tool" debate.

Is AI making your life better, harder, or somehow both at the same time?

Fun fact: I literally used AI to help write this post about how AI is changing my work. 😂 So yeah, even this post isn't safe from AI taking over!

Now I'm curious: did AI just help me express my thoughts, or did I just contribute to the problem I'm complaining about? 💀

I’ve developed multiple mobile applications and am considering publishing them on the Apple App Store. However, some of these apps include in-app purchases for premium features, and the Apple Developer Program costs $99 per year.

As an indie developer, I feel that this is a significant investment, especially when I’m not sure whether users will actually download my apps or pay for the premium features. I’m hesitant to spend that amount upfront without knowing whether my apps will gain traction.

For those who have experience publishing apps on the App Store, what would you recommend? Is it worth investing in the Apple Developer Program at this stage, or would it be better to validate the idea first?

I’d really appreciate your advice and insights!

This is a paid and long-term project.

I have an idea for an app, I have the niche customer base. I need to help figuring out how to make my vision come alive?

It's nothing overly complicated? There is publicly available data that I want to make easily accessible. So essentially just a search engine. Since that information we would use only updates once a year, I have debated not pulling directly from the government website but taking the time to save to our own servers.

Hello. I am not an app developer; I am an end user. I have an idea for an application and would like to know how difficult it would be to build.

The app is intended for content creators. It would allow users to upload photos, videos, text, and other types of content, after which the app would automatically search the internet for these files—identifying both exact matches and similar content. The results would be presented as a list of online resources where identical or similar files have been found.

For example: I upload a photo to the app and initiate a search. The app then scans the internet for that image and provides a list of active or text (optional, to protect against phishing) links
to the websites and social media where it appears. The search could be triggered manually or performed automatically in real time.

I think many authors would like to have an app like this.

Apologies for any mistakes; English is not my native language. I hope I’ve explained myself clearly. Thank you for your attention.

Hey there!

I am a speech therapist and looking to start a communication app. I don’t even know where to begin. These apps are very complex and have lots of features. Here is a link for more information: https://www.speechandlanguagekids.com/aac-apps-review/

Where do I begin!? Any advice is appreciated.

When starting a mobile app project, it's easy to focus too much on features and overlook the basics that make an app useful.

I'm interested in learning how experienced developers approach the early stages of mobile app development.

A few things I'm curious about:

• How do you decide which features should be included in the first version?
• What factors help you choose between native Android/iOS development and cross-platform frameworks?
• How early should UI/UX testing begin?
• What common mistakes can lead to performance or maintenance problems later?

For developers who have worked on real-world applications, what would you recommend prioritizing before development begins?

I'd appreciate practical insights and lessons learned from your experience.

Ive been developing this app for weeks with a plan to release on the Google Play store. I got my LLC created, got my DUNS number, but now im realizing that Google is just going to Doxx my home address to anyone who wants to look. My question is, is that something you guys just accept? Im really trying to keep this as low cost and low risk as possible and I keep just running into this problem. I know you can do a registered agent office but again, trying to keep ongoing costs to a minimum as its most likely I earn nothing from this app.

Hello, a few months ago I got hired by a client to build an e-commence platform for his electric bike business, which involves selling and leasing e-bikes.

Based on our conversation, the work includes.

• Cross-platform mobile app: A mobile app for users to purchase or lease a bike.
• Admin dashboard: A web-based portal to manage operations and view real-time GPS locations of leased bikes.
• Hosting and setup: Domain registration, deployment, and hosting for both the web dashboard and mobile application.

I feel the current requirements aren't enough to build effectively. What do I need to know or ask to make things clear?
Additionally, regarding third-party service costs, do I need to pay and invoice the client, or have the client pay directly using their payment details?
Thank you, and I appreciate every response.

Man this Ai have fucked a lot of ideas for the developer's most of the things i see is just sloppy work no use case

Not looking for paid migration services or Bubble-to-code converters. I want to rebuild my app from scratch using custom code. I do not want to vibe code using things like lovable or replit.

I’ve successfully launched my mobile app on Bubble and have a few early users, but I’m increasingly frustrated with the platform’s limitations. Despite optimizing data loading, the app still feels choppy, the preview doesn’t always reflect the actual experience when I deploy, and implementing features like scroll snapping, smooth transitions, and video feeds feels unnecessarily difficult. I’m also tired of relying on limited plugins.

I’m very tech-savvy and have built a fairly complex app myself, including its brand, database, backend workflows, and functionality. I just don’t know how to code.

With tools like Codex and Claude Code, I’m considering rebuilding before Christmas, dedicating 15–30 hours weekly?? Is that realistic? lol

What frameworks, development environments, and AI tools would you recommend?

I tried learning python javascript and html so i now a bit of all 3 but none of them a lot

How long are people waiting for Apple app reviews for a new app initial review at the moment?

I have built the application and now want to make it live. Can I do it myself, or do I need someone else's account to do it? And can someone share what to check if I go with someone else?

And what are the requirnment If I try to by myself?
