r/App_Hive

Stack your herbs and find the combined benefits!

I have created promo codes, but the input field in Hive only supports one? And they are single use? I put twenty codes in the app description, but no one has installed my app. Am I missing something here?

I want to talk to someone on the hive to explain that i keep accidentally sending them the wrong screenshots, but I still test their app every day. The app doesn’t show who is associated with each app.

Do i just download the App Hive app and get testers or do i also need to join the google group?

could someone also provide the link for the group.

Thanks

At the beginning of this year I'd embark on a journey I never thought I'd go on. After trading for 2 years and still not being consistently profitable I needed something to change. I wanted to start small and just make sure that i'm at least trading every day. I wanted something easily accessible, easy to use and of course free. So first thing I did was look on the App Store and surprisingly I couldn't find anything.

I then looked online for a website and came across tradezilla and websites like it. Like I said earlier I didn't really want to spend money on something so simple and just by looking at tradezilla I knew it was just way too much for me. And in trading less is more.

A few hours pass and I start venting to my boy Anuraag about how I couldn't find anything to solve my problem. He jokingly said "so make an app".

As someone with barely any coding or developing experience, I didn't take it serious. But then I thought about it again. There's nothing already existing that will solve my issue, and I was tired of writing all of my journals down in a notebook. So I thought to myself well fuck it, lets see if Its hard to make an app.

So I went to chatgbt and asked how hard it would be to create a simple app. I described how I wanted it to function and it gave me 3 options.

Choice 1. make a google form, which would take no coding but it wouldn't feel like a real app. (Honestly looking back now this was probably the best choice for what I needed at the moment but I had little interest in it for some reason)

Choice 2: Create an app with glide or adalo which would be very simple and take a low amount of code.

Choice 3: Chatgpt would just create a super simple coded version for me if I wanted to have my won custom app. I think the potential for growth was the thing that pulled me towards the last option.

There was just one problem, I was kind against Ai built things. I support Ai assistance but not replacement. I still believe that everything should have some kind of direct NEED HUMAN INFLUENCE.

fastforward 5 months and it an actual real thing now that I couldn't be more proud of. I genuinely believe I've created something that cannot only bring value to my life but to others as well. It's a genuinely good product that cost nothing but time and effort and $99 apple dev subscription lol. Anyways trying yo to make this post too long but I can sit here a confidently say, After all this time Countless months of bug fixing, I've barely done any coding. I would say 75% of the coding was done by Ai.

With that being said I still feel entitled to take credit for this app, this wasn't build by Ai. It was built by me....with the help Ai. I'm tired of people just assuming I'm just doing a money grab using AI slop. If you actually took the time to do any kind of due diligence you would know that's the farthest from the truth. My months of confusion was real, the weeks of stress testing, days of researching, months of brainstorming that is all real, none of It is Ai. But somehow the code being written by Ai automatically writes everything else off.

Im genuinely curious on why that is?
Also realistically how scalable is being a vibe coder? I feel like at some point down the line I might have to take a boot camp or course or something g.

are you forcing us to buy the app? tell us and we'll buy it, but a 1 minute ad for each action is honestly really frustrating. most probably this will be removed but i needed to rant....

so to make my point easier to understand i sing up and app hive with my personal email but since it told me to join google groups with my developer email which is different email than my personal email so now i have different email in the app and the one in google groups is that ok or no ?
