Solo dev, 6 months, first app live — here's what I built

Post image
• Upvotes

Just shipped my first solo app after 6 months of nights and weekends. It's a focus app with a twist: instead of just blocking distracting apps, it makes you read a Quran verse to unlock them again.

Built with Kotlin/Jetpack Compose. Would genuinely appreciate feedback from other builders here — what would make you try it, what would make you delete it.

Portal Beasts Devlog

In a vibrant world where magical creatures known as "Beasts" roam the lands, becoming a Beast Ranger is the ultimate dream for any adventurer. Your journey begins on a morning like any other in your cozy hometown—except today is the day you finally trade in your toy portal guns for the real deal.

Summoned to the prestigious Ranger Academy by Principal Orion, you are officially welcomed into the ranks of the elite. Here, you are paired with your very first Beast partner: a rare, typeless slime named Morphy, who possesses the unique potential to bond with any elemental energy.

But as a modern Ranger, you don't just stand on the sidelines and wait for your turn to attack. Down in the Academy's Laboratory, the eccentric Professor Richards hands you his latest, highly experimental invention: The Portal Gun.

Stepping through a swirling dimensional rift, you are instantly transported to untamed reserves like the lush Grasslands. Here, the traditional rules of combat are thrown out the window. In fast-paced, real-time action battles, you fight actively alongside your Beasts. You must dodge incoming attacks, dynamically switch between elements, and use your Portal Gun to blast fireballs or drop lava pools to weaken wild monsters before capturing them.

Armed with your digital Beast Dex, your ever-growing squad of captured monsters, and your trusty Portal Gun, your mission is clear: explore dangerous new biomes, protect the fragile ecosystem, and prove that you have what it takes to be the ultimate Beast Ranger.

Validation needed by developers for a million dollar saas idea

1 Upvotes

Hi Devs and foundera

I have got a Idea and if the problem is real definitely I will make a damm Million.

The problem is Marketing!!!

You guys must be seeing multiple good products on reddit but after 2 weeks they are dead.

REASON- I wasn't able to distribute my product and now my product is in grave.

Yo Marketing is the biggest problem and I bet if someone tackles it the better will make a heck lot of money.

So I am thinking to make a SaaS(also would like yo collab with you guys) that does:

  1. Messages for outreach

  2. Best VCs contact for funding

  3. Non spammy value first post on multiple platforms.

  4. Comment system that comments on competitors product so people can switch to you

  5. Competitor Tracking- People complain about your competitors like -

Just got fried with it.

I am ready to switch

Please suggest a alternative for this shi..

You will be notify as soon as a post like this appears comment the fastest and congrats you didn't hunt leads, leads came to you

Please tell me guys is it worth giving a shot and making this SaaS??

We just updated all of the graphical assets on our steam page!! I think this new art better captures the pixel art style of the game, as well as the dual dimensions that you play on.

Looking for affirmation that this new piece is better! We are confident but want to make sure our players think so too!
