WELL CICADA MIGHT RELEASE SOON

Brand-new look. Same functionality. ✨

No more trance vibes. No more headaches. 😭

I need testers soon, so… 👉🏻👈🏻

And please, don’t just say “interested.” Tell me what you want to see in the theme and what you think the overall look should be.

Cicada is no longer just my project — it’s becoming something for the whole community. So I genuinely need your suggestions and ideas. 🫶🏻

Also, if you guys want a Discord group for Cicada, let me know! 🦗

Cicada is delayed sorry

CICADA was supposed to be released on August 10th, but due to the complexity and inconsistencies in the UI, I decided to reconstruct the entire UI from scratch. So, it’s going to take some time.

I believe anyone can get the library of Spotify or YouTube Music. What really matters is the sound and ui. I’m trying my best to make CICADA something different.

Stay tuned! ❤️

Here’s the last screen recording of CICADA.

Last ui

BRUTAL SUGGESTION (AGAIN?)

I won’t even call myself a developer I was just vibe coding it, and now a lot of people are saying the UI is bad and that a UX designer would kill me, so I thought, why not ask the designers themselves?

That mini player is adjustable — it can go from clear to liquid glass to frosted, depending on the user’s preference. I can’t share a video here because it’ll get compressed; otherwise, I’d love to share a screen recording.

Thanks!

Hey so i vibe coded a ERP for college it's not some ai slop

The thing is i don't have any patent trademark or anything just a google developer account that i bought yesterday as someone from reddit helped with finance I'm not even a firm or anything

The thing is i want to do a beta testing of the app in my college

And my teacher said it is legal what if the data gets breached who is going to be responsible what are you going to do with students'data?

So i thought I'll make a consent page on my app mentioning if anything gets breached it's user responsibility as we are storing only the name and roll number of the person and get a normal signed letter from the Dean or registrar that was the whole plan

I contacted a lawyer and he says get ur trademark

Someone says get a patent

Someone says get an affidavit

Someone says it should be legally bind

Bruh......

I don't know how to do beta testing I'm not even a firm or anything i just want to do a beta testing to have feedback so that atleast I can make some portion of my college dependent on the app so I can sell

I know a long story but still

I'm from India btw thnxx

So I built an app for my college and I want to launch a beta.

Now the problem: the students here have the technical range of a potato with WiFi.

If it’s not on the Play Store, for them it simply does not exist.

APK? “Virus.”

GitHub? Sounds like a rejected Marvel villain.

Download link? “Bhai Play Store link bhej.”

And me? Sitting here with a bank balance of ₹0.00, like it’s a feature, not a bug.

People say, “just ask the college for funds.”

Brother, it’s a government college. Files there move slower than Windows XP on 1GB RAM. By the time they approve anything, my app will have grandchildren.

So here’s my evil mastermind plan:

Launch the app somehow

Get students and teachers hooked

Collect stats like I’m running a startup pitch deck

Then walk into the office like: “You’re already using it. Now either fund it or uninstall your happiness.”

Basically, I want to create a situation where they’re so dependent on the app that saying no becomes illegal in spirit.

But right now I’m stuck at: How do I distribute this thing when

I’m broke

My users only understand Play Store

And their tech knowledge peaks at “Install button looks friendly, I tap it”

Also yes, I explored… creative income sources.

Let’s just say the internet looked at me and said, “respectfully, no.” 💀
