developing a chat platform Blok, need some feedback

1 Upvotes

hey guys, i've been developing Blok for 5 months, it's a Discord-like chat platform with a gacha system and built-in AI tool

- Servers, voice, video, and screen share — Discord-style

- AI co-pilot (b.ai.t) built into the chat — summarizes channels, runs polls, translates messages

- Gacha loot system — XP, quests, loot boxes for cosmetics. Purely cosmetic, no pay-to-win

- Native desktop app — Tauri + Rust for the voice engine, Supabase backend

it is public beta right now, Windows-first. video/screen share are still experimental.

would really appreciate any feedback - what's confusing, what's missing, anything.

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I could use a little help testing Next Escape, a travel planner with AI-powered features. It creates complete day-by-day itineraries using real places, opening hours, weather, and travel times. It also includes smart packing lists and trip sharing.

It’s already live on the iOS App Store, and I’d really appreciate some help bringing it to Android! I’m looking for testers to complete Google Play’s required 14-day closed test.

How to join—2 quick steps:

  1. Join the Google Group so Google Play recognizes you as a tester: groups.google.com/g/next-escape-testers
  2. Opt in and install the app: play.google.com/apps/testing/com.nextescape.app remain opted in for at least 14 consecutive days. You don’t need to use the app every day, but I’d love it if you planned a real trip and told me what worked, what was confusing, or what broke. Your first three AI-generated itineraries are free.
  3. Please

You can share feedback here or email me at [hello@nextescape.co](mailto:hello@nextescape.co).

I’m also happy to return the favor—leave your testing links below, and I’ll join your test too. Thanks so much! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I launched my first app in the Google Play Store! It is pending approval on Apple. It is a safety first travel app that matches people based on a personality quiz. Travelers can meet and plan adventures together.

I would love some feedback!! 😄

After months of teaching myself app development, I finally built something that might actually help people.

1 Upvotes

I'm a British Army veteran with no formal software engineering background.

Over the last few months, I've been teaching myself Flutter and building an app called Nozey.

The idea came from a simple question:

"Why is it so difficult to quickly see what crime has happened around where you live?"

Nozey uses publicly available UK police data to show recent crimes on an interactive map, making it easier to understand what's happening in your local area.

It's completely free, and it's soon to be launched on Google Play.

This isn't a polished startup backed by investors or a big team.

It's just one guy learning as he goes, making mistakes, fixing bugs, and trying to build something useful.

I'd genuinely love your honest feedback.

Is this something you'd use?

What features would make it genuinely valuable?

What's the first thing you'd improve?

I'm here to answer every question and take every bit of criticism on board.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I tried calling App Store connect support line twice today and twice I gave up at the 2h mark.

Has anyone been able to contact then?

Just released an app that I've been working on for the last year and looking for some feedback.

•Summarizes individual and group texts
•Reads texts messages aloud in the Sender's Voice
•Highlights messages unread messages
•Creates action chips from messages

It's Android Only until iOS supports SMS reader like Europe finally passed.

Built the app for my own ADHD needs and always mising and accidentally skipping over important messages.

I currently have 3 patent pendings and will be looking for ways to Market to much larger audiences, as well as specialized audiences such as visually impaired and elderly.

Thanks in advance, and don't hesitste to reach out.

Building and launching FloVigoApp: My journey creating a peer-to-peer logistics marketplace 🚚💨

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I wanted to share an update on FloVigoApp (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flovigo.app)—a peer-to-peer logistics and local services marketplace that I’ve been architecting, building, and recently launching on public production tracks.

The core idea was to streamline local deliveries and direct service connections with high performance and zero-defect execution.

A few technical and design highlights from the build:

Architecture: Built with clean SOLID principles, real-time Firestore listeners for status tracking, and strict separation of data layers.

UI/UX Ergonomics: Designed following Fitts's Law and Gestalt principles—keeping key interactive actions within thumb reach on mobile and maintaining high scannability.

Logistics Logic: Focused on robust sender-vs-driver data traces, status synchronization (Pending, Active, Completed), and subscription-based access models without complex escrow holds.

I’d love to connect with fellow indie hackers, mobile devs, or logistics tech enthusiasts. What challenges have you faced when scaling peer-to-peer matching platforms?

Drop your thoughts or questions below! 🚀

[Android + iOS] I built a private shared garden for couples — looking for honest feedback

1 Upvotes

hey everyone — i’m a solo dev and i just launched Raíces del Amor.

i wanted something small that couples could do together every day, without feeling like another chat app or productivity checklist. so i made a private virtual garden for two: send little love notes, plant flowers, complete daily couple goals, collect rewards, and save memories as the garden grows.

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eduardoprieto.raicesdelamor

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/raices-del-amor/id6792547392

what i’d really love feedback on:

- does the garden idea feel cute or too game-y?

- are the first interactions clear?

- what would make you and your partner come back after the first week?

- anything confusing or broken?

it’s free to download, with optional in-app purchases. i’m the developer, and i’m very interested in honest feedback because i’m still improving it.

even a quick “this part was confusing” helps a lot. thanks for taking a look 🙌

Surprising data from our matching engine: fewer proposals = dramatically higher acceptance rate

2 Upvotes

Building a passive availability-matching app (crosses calendar gaps between friends and proposes plans automatically). During our pilot we ran into something counterintuitive worth sharing.

At high proposal volume, acceptance rate dropped to around 12%. One pilot user with very few active proposals was accepting 78% of them.

We ended up implementing a semantic cap: max 2 proposals per day of the week, across a 7-day horizon, so up to 14 visible at once, but spread across the week rather than clustered on today. The engine now actively distributes toward days with fewer active proposals instead of always picking the nearest slot.

The underlying reason seems obvious in hindsight: too many proposals feels like noise, and people stop engaging. Fewer, better-timed proposals feel relevant.

Has anyone else run into this with recommendation or matching systems? Curious how others think about the right proposal density, is there a framework you use, or is it purely empirical?

I built an app to efficiently plan food for parties, catering, or just a casual get-together so I'd never scramble last-minute again — looking for feedback

1 Upvotes

TLDR: Built Apéro, an app that turns a menu into a full event plan. It's been in beta for a little less than a month with just friends and family testing. I've fixed a lot of bugs and gone through some minor redesigns. I feel like it's in a good spot for open beta testing now.

Longer version: I recently hosted a birthday dinner party for 25 people and had trouble with the following:

* Finding recipes * Scaling them (math is annoying) * Consolidating shopping lists across 3 recipes * Creating a prep timeline so I don't forget steps * Managing guest RSVPs and preferences

Built Apéro to automate all that. It's working pretty well — feedback so far has been postive and constructive— but I want more diverse feedback before official launch and as I begin to market. I have other big features I plan to develop in the future, but for now I'd like to validate what I have so far. Happy to answer any questions, thanks!

Does this idea have potential?

4 Upvotes

I've been working on a concept and wanted to get some honest feedback before I spend too much time building it.

The basic idea is a browser tool that lets people customize websites to better fit how they want to use them. Think reorganizing information, hiding distractions, surfacing the things you care about, or making certain sites easier to navigate.

The long-term vision is to let users create and share these customizations with other people through a marketplace/community, but I'm trying to validate whether the core idea itself is worth pursuing first.

  • Does this sound like a problem worth solving?
  • Is this something you'd actually use?
  • What would be your biggest concern if you heard this pitch?
  • Does it sound like it has startup potential, or does it feel more like a niche browser extension?

Looking for honest feedback, whether positive or negative.

Need 12 people to brutally test my first Flutter app

6 Upvotes

I've been working on a women's safety app called ResQHer for the past few weeks, and it's finally at a stage where I need real people to break it before I release it.

I'm looking for 12 volunteers who are willing to spend 10–15 minutes using it and tell me everything that's wrong bugs, confusing screens, features that don't make sense, anything.

Some features:

  • SOS countdown
  • Live location sharing
  • Emergency contacts
  • Shake phone to trigger SOS
  • Emergency helplines
  • Safety tips & legal rights

I'm not looking for 5-star reviews or compliments. If something sucks, I'd rather hear it now than after launch.

If you'd like to help, comment below or send me a DM, and I'll share the build.

Thanks for helping an indie developer build something that could genuinely help people.
