🚀 Building a landing page for my app and looking for inspiration!
Share your favorite Android, iOS, macOS, SaaS, or indie app website below 👇
Looking for clean designs, great animations, and unique ideas.
Building a notarized macOS app in Swift with a 3-day trial and license key activation, distributed from my website (not the Mac App Store).
Best platform for license generation and verification: Gumroad, Paddle, or Lemon Squeezy?
I’m mainly a mobile developer building Android & iOS apps.
But now I’m realizing everything cannot be inside a mobile app. Some things are just better on web or desktop because of:
>larger screen
>keyboard support
>easier workflows
>better admin/dashboard experience
So I want to ask web developers something.
For building things like:
>product websites
>landing pages
>authentication
>subscriptions/payments
>dashboards/admin panels
>blogs/docs
>SaaS products
what stack do you actually prefer for production?
I know the basics:
HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Node.js
At first every framework looks good 😄
But later I keep hearing things like:
>SEO/indexing issues
>website ranking problems
>hydration issues
>security concerns
>performance problems
>scaling complexity
>dependency chaos
So I want to know what developers are genuinely using long term and why.
What do you currently use for:
>Framework → React / Next.js?
>Styling → Tailwind / Material UI / ShadCN / custom CSS?
>Design tool → Figma?
>Database → PostgreSQL / MongoDB / Firebase / Supabase?
>Auth → Clerk / Auth.js / Firebase Auth / custom?
>Subscription & payments → Stripe / RevenueCat / Paddle / Razorpay?
>Backend → Node.js / Supabase / Firebase?
>Hosting → Vercel / Cloudflare / AWS / DigitalOcean?
Also curious:
>Which AI tools do you use daily for vibe coding?
>Do you fully trust AI-generated code or always review/debug it yourself?
>For AI integration in websites/apps, which provider do you recommend for:
good performance
lower cost for starters
easy integration
production scalability
If you started again today from scratch, what stack would you choose for a modern production-ready website/app?

A few weeks ago, one of my old clients came back with a new task.
I had worked with him before, and overall the experience was good — but there was one major issue again this time…
👉 He doesn’t share the code.
All work had to be done via screen sharing (AnyDesk / TeamViewer).
And honestly, it was painful:
Screen resolution mismatch (Mac ↔ Mac, still issues)
Laggy scrolling and delayed typing (5–6 seconds delay!)
Hard to navigate across files
High-contrast theme (my eyes were done in 10 minutes 😅)
Even with a good internet connection on both sides, the experience was frustrating.
I requested multiple times:
“Can you share the code? It’ll be much faster and cleaner.”
But the answer was always:
“Sorry, I can’t share the code.”
Later, the reason came out:
He had shared code once before, and someone resold it.
Fair concern 👍
But here’s the reality:
➡️ Not every developer is the same
➡️ Trust is required on both sides
➡️ Without code access, quality work becomes difficult
Also, being very honest —
Sometimes you can already guess from the structure that the code isn’t something anyone would even want to reuse or resell (old fragments, XML everywhere, no proper structure).
I even shared my work (Fiverr, GitHub, YouTube, Medium) to build trust.
He appreciated it — but still didn’t share the code.
We tried another screen-sharing tool… same issues.
Eventually, communication stopped — and I dropped the project.
💡 My takeaway:
If there’s no trust → don’t force the project
Your time and focus are valuable
Bad workflow = bad output (no matter your skills)
Also realized:
Even if you invest in premium tools like AnyDesk or TeamViewer, they don’t solve real workflow problems like lag, visibility, or control.
And for occasional clients like this (once in 1–2 months), paying for premium doesn’t make practical sense.
Curious to hear from other developers 👇

Before AI tools, remember how we used to build things?
Open one of your old projects today.
Look at the source code and just think:
���Every line… every file name… I wrote this.”
That feeling hits different.
Back then:
writing 100–200 lines was normal
structuring folders took time
naming things properly needed effort
Now:
a small feature → ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini
sometimes even basic code → AI 😄
and when AI is not there → “oh this will take time…”
I don’t even know if I should say this or not…
but open one of your old projects today and look at it again.
That moment hits different.
Not saying AI is bad — it’s powerful.
But that shift is real.
Kya se kya ho gaya.
If you’re a developer, one common mistake is judging a project just by its README or overview and assuming it’s “easy.”
Real learning starts when you:
→ clone the project
→ try to run it
→ and it doesn’t work
Instead of skipping it:
figure out what’s wrong
check configs, env setup, dependencies
fix it step by step
Once it runs:
explore the code
understand the architecture
see how features are actually implemented
In your free time, if you find any useful project with source code, don’t just read it. Download it, run it, and dig into how it works internally.
That’s where real growth happens.
Tech market and jobs feel rough right now — I’m also struggling with it.
Thinking to start some side products around things I already share for free (on Medium, GitHub, YouTube, website), like:
Paid articles / deep dives
Premium code snippets / cool animations
Full app source code / templates
Maybe helping validate or build your app ideas too
Would you buy/use something like this? 👇
Poll:
1. Yes — premium source code/templates
2. Yes — paid articles & code snippets
3. More interested in help building app ideas
4. No, I prefer free resources only
Comment if there’s something you’d actually pay for that would be useful.
Hey everyone 👋
I need some guidance regarding payments & taxation.
Currently, I’m receiving international payments via @Revolut (clients directly send me money). I’m not using the Revolut app or website since it's not officially available in India yet — but payments are working fine this way (low fees + fast transfers 💸).
Now the issue is:
For GST filing / income tax, I need proper transaction details / statements (like who paid, amount, date, etc.).
Since I don’t have access to Revolut dashboard or account statements:
👉 How can I get a proper transaction record?
👉 Is there any alternative way to track or generate this?
👉 Has anyone faced this situation?
Would really appreciate if someone can share their experience or solution 🙏
Thanks in advance!
Android devs — curious what navigation library you’re using in production Compose apps these days?
Jetpack Navigation (Nav2)
Navigation 3
Decompose
Voyager
Something else?
If you’ve used one in production:
Any issues you ran into?
Did you migrate from one library to another? Why?
If you switched, was it because of scale, deep links, testing, KMP, back stack pain, etc?
Would love to hear real-world experience, not just feature comparisons.
