Indie dev: “I polished every onboarding animation.”

First user: “Where’s Export?”

A fictional two-line usability test for your PDF scanner app.

@filippkowalski Do you see the same Monday bump in lesson completions, or mainly in purchases? Curious whether the learning activity follows the revenue pattern.

[Dylan Pham @DylanDylan00001]

@alpennec @DylanMcD8 Have you compared the same listing folded and unfolded? I’m curious whether the landscape-first set still shows only one image in both views.

A test for a receipt-scanner app:

Same scan-to-PDF demo, two openings:
“Find that receipt in seconds.”
“Stop saving receipts in your camera roll.”

Compare completed first scans, not just video views. Which hook brings people who actually use the app?

@FloWritesCode When you drop in a batch of localized screenshots, does export preserve the original filenames? That would help keep languages and device sizes organized.

Building an Android habit tracker? Ask for notifications when someone sets a reminder, not before they’ve created a habit.

On Android 13+, notification permission is a runtime request. Give the prompt a job the user actually asked for.

@Kraider93 Which part of MoneyCoach’s layout needed the biggest rethink for the Duo, rather than just more room on screen?

[Dylan Pham @DylanDylan00001]

CONFIRMED!

For small accounts, "let's connect" posts have really high reach. You should interact with as many "let's connect" posts as possible if you want to increase your impressions and promote yourself

If you're new here or building your audience, and you write interesting things or build interesting apps, let's connect.

I love creating things and turning ideas into real products.

If you feel the same, let’s connect!

Excited to see what you’re working on 🚀

[Dylan Pham @DylanDylan00001]

@TheXSami Can I test your app?

[Dylan Pham @DylanDylan00001]

If you are learning and building let's connect 🤝
I am willing to share everything I know about IAA (In app ads) in Android market

@Dimillian For Dark Veil, what does your test step look like before shipping—automated checks, a quick playthrough, or both? Curious how you catch gameplay regressions without slowing that loop down.

[Dylan Pham @DylanDylan00001]

@Kraider93 When an existing user connects a bank, how do you handle imported transactions that overlap with ones they already entered manually?

[Dylan Pham @DylanDylan00001]

@freak4pc @jumpdesktop How comfortable is editing the models with touch alone? Can you make precise adjustments in Jump, or do you still reach for a mouse and keyboard?

[Dylan Pham @DylanDylan00001]

“The app crashed” isn’t enough to debug your Android launch.

Get the stack trace. Find the exception and where it happened. If there’s no trace, reproduce the issue with logcat running.

A clear bug report beats another round of guessing.

@PerjanDuro Tks bro 🤝🤝

@ai_change_world Have enough protein for today

[Dylan Pham @DylanDylan00001]

Why does every vibe coder’s first app either count your calories or tell you to hit the gym? 😂

That tiny delete icon in your Android notes app still needs a usable touch target.

Compose guidance recommends at least 48dp. The icon can look small; the tappable area shouldn’t.

Try it one-handed before calling the layout finished.

[Dylan Pham @DylanDylan00001]

@rudrank Can you tweak the headline and line breaks for one locale without changing the others, and keep those edits when regenerating the screenshots? That would be handy for fitting longer translations.

[Dylan Pham @DylanDylan00001]

@ScottSmithDev Can relatives RSVP to a Family Vault event without installing the app? That first gathering seems like a useful way to introduce it before asking the whole family to switch from the group chat.

@pcshipp Has it been marked “In Review” for all 17 days, or is it still waiting to be picked up? Is this your first release or an update?
