I've started this app a while ago, before AI era to create a native client for jellyfin. Back then all clients were either js based(electron) or just targeted one platform.
With this player I covered all platforms within single codebase. I used flutter to build it.
I still build and add new features as of today, over these years got about ~2k active users on ios(dont have data about other platforms)
Since I started my game using cry engine I had scaling issues on CE's provided flowgraph.
Made a small update and reworked flowgraph using CE's provided QT lib(which is rest of interface made with)
It fully works on top of existing flowgraph backend and can be used together with original flowgraph
It has all features except debugging(I didnt need it for my own needs, hence didnt add).
I also added tab menu like in Unreal Engine for quick access to nodes.
Code is open source and free to use here - https://github.com/avdept/ce5-flow-graph-qt
if you spot bugs, feel free to open an issue and I will take a look
Hello folks
I'm working on a game and I decided to redo flowgraph to use QT same as rest of editor which fixed issues with scaling and now I can add more features I missed from original one
As of now - this is fully functioning flowgraph editor without debugging capabilities and missing few minor features that original FG has.
I also added tab quick search to drop new nodes right away(like its done in unreal engine)
I'm reading this subreddit for at least 3 years already. With AI Influence I see more and more people with no experience(this isnt the main problem) trying to build their first products which is really nice.
The problem is - these products are all the same - finance tracker, calorie tracker, subscription tracker, etc. Yeah, I get that some say "distribution is the key", but in fact people who never deal with product development also have no experience in distributing it.
Before you launch claude code - ask yourself - "How will my app be different from thousands the same apps on appstore". And no, "cool UI" isnt a difference and in fact your "cool UI" will be output of LLM, which already did same UI for thousands other apps
So TDLR is simple - dont waste your time rebuilding product which already have 1000s variants existing unless you have a real way to stand it out from all the mass of all other similar products.
PS: Yes, this is complaint because I'm so tired of reading same posts in subreddit over and over when ppl have no imagination or even skills to google/search.
As long as you've made it for your own usage - its totally fine. I'm only meaning those apps which people try to sell as something unique
I launched app few months ago and it was pretty quiet overall because my tool is kinda niche one. I got few customers here and there after posting some comments mostly in few subreddits. These few months I was adding some features, fixing stuff, etc, but never actually talked to my customers
Last month I started to email them, with some generic questions about product, usecases, experience, etc. I got almost 30% reply rate(probably around 10 replies or so) with some suggestions, ideas.
I decided to try one of those advices I found on twitter - make what users ask for but make them pay. I did it in simple way - put it on higher paid plan than they currently had.
So far I added 2 features after customers who requsted them upgraded. This was the only condition. I was kinda afraid at first to even offer this, but turned out it really works and helps to understand whether user really needs a feature, or just suggests from top of his head
I hope this will help to someone, because my own fear was the only stopped from making few customers more happy by providing them more services for more money.
