I'm currently experimenting with different ad revenue models across two of my apps.

The challenge is that meaningful ad revenue usually requires significant scale, but I also don't want to build apps where every interaction is interrupted by an ad. User experience comes first, so I'm trying to find the least intrusive ways to monetize.

On FrameForge, I show a rewarded video ad when a user creates a video render. Since they're already waiting for the render to complete, it feels like the most natural place for an ad. For image generation, I use a closeable image ad that's quick to dismiss.

On Worklog, I've taken a different approach with a simple static banner at the bottom of the screen. In a productivity app, users need to quickly capture activities, time, and notes, so interrupting them with full-screen ads would create unnecessary friction.

I'd love your feedback.

If you have a few minutes to try either app, let me know whether the ads feel reasonable or if they still get in the way. And if you've monetized apps before, I'd really appreciate hearing what has worked well for you and any best practices I've overlooked.

Hi all I created an app for freelancers and contractors to log sessions activities and generate invoices.

I've been promoting my home inventory and insurance report app HomeFolio recently and it's pretty cool to see something you've made reach all the corners of the earth(because we all know its flat)

I have South Africa in the bottom middle

Australia in the bottom right

Canada in the top left

Vietnam top right

.....actually I need a purchase from South America somewhere, anyone interested!?

I ventured into the exciting world of app development with the simple idea of "If I need this tool, chances are someone else also does" and one by one my list of tools/apps is growing. Lessons learned with each build test and deploy.

Not a massive amount of downloads.........yet

That sweet sweet miment when google play updates to HomeFolio 100+ Downloads! Its a slow journey, but worthwhile. I am excited to see where this app goes and what value it can bring to users

Hi everyone,

​

My Home inventory app has a barcode scanner to scan long complicated serial numbers etc in the item capture process. What packages have you used for something like this and what do you think of my implementation.

Check the full thing on HomeFolio

I created HomeFolio as a side project, currently working as a scrum master at a big corporate. I have worked at a startup before and enjoyed the freedom and creativity it enabled in the building space, but now have enough knowledge of Scrum/Agile and the SDLC to know how to fail fast and fix faster and improve your project in doing so. It's not about deploying the perfect product or solution from the start, but rather getting a functional app to the customer and then itterating and improving it.

I released Homefolio a month or two ago, and recently reached 100 downloads! Only half of those are active users, but hey its something right!?🤷‍♂️

I see other people posting 5000 downloads within weeks etc. Etc. But I still think it's important to celebrate the small wins.

Heres to the next 100 downloads🥳

Hi all I recently buit Frameforge for png exports of phone framed screenshots or device recordings. With costom backgrounds and text options. There is still a bit of features I want to add and some UX/ui refinement I want to do. But her it is FrameForge

And just like that FrameForge is live. Submitted the request less than 24 Hours ago! Now let the marketing begin.

It's been a ride as usual to do the dev, then test and wait for the approval, but I am keen! Already busy with the next enhancements to send out an even more polished app.

I just added Hindi support to my home inventory app! 🎉

I'm curious to see if this makes the app more accessible to a wider audience.

If you're a Hindi speaker, I'd love your feedback on the translation quality, completeness, and anything that feels awkward or incorrect. Every bit of feedback helps improve the experience.

मैंने अभी अपने होम इन्वेंटरी ऐप में हिंदी भाषा का समर्थन जोड़ा है! 🎉

मैं जानना चाहता हूँ कि क्या इससे ऐप अधिक लोगों के लिए सुलभ और उपयोगी बनता है।

यदि आप हिंदी बोलते हैं, तो कृपया अनुवाद की गुणवत्ता, पूर्णता, और किसी भी गलत या अस्वाभाविक लगने वाले शब्दों के बारे में अपनी प्रतिक्रिया साझा करें। आपका हर सुझाव ऐप को बेहतर बनाने में मदद करेगा।

HomeFolio

I just submitted my second app to the Play store for review. Now we just wait to see if it's satisfactory for the reviewers🤞🏻

The journey is pretty hectic, but my app is better for it. Got some good UX/UI feedback in the testing phase! Now we wait...

Hi all, I built HomeFolio as an inventory tracker which tracks items, value warranties and maintenance schedules. It can also generate a full insurance claim ready report of your home contents from item by item, room by room or your entire home inventory.

Check it out on google play store and feel free to leave a review

Just got my first ever Play Store review and it made my week

I've been building HomeFolio, a home inventory app (offline-first, no account needed, tracks belongings/warranties/receipts and generates PDF reports). It's been a solo project and I only published it about 6 weeks ago.

This morning I woke up to my very first review:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Exceptionally well designed. Best home inventory app"

I know it's just one review, but when you've been heads-down building something and wondering if anyone even cares, this can make the start to your week that much better.

If anyone's curious, it's on the Play Store as HomeFolio. Would genuinely love feedback from this community too.

Here's to the first of many

I have been diving into vibe coding lately, and one of the biggest problems I keep hitting is AI generating a 5,000-line monolithic App.tsx or index file that burns through tokens faster than you can type a prompt.

The solution I landed on was reviewing the code instead of just generating more code. AI tends to be much better at critique and refactoring than greenfield creation, so I built a skill that analyzes a project, generates an AI-ready architecture report, and creates a step-by-step plan to break large files into maintainable modules.

Here’s an example of the Claude dashboard output:

I have built a app for phone screenshots and it's in closed testing. Does the waiting period ever get easier? I feel like the anticipation and anxiety is something to be prepared for as much as anything when building the app😅
