Submitted to Play Store + App Store

vibe coded budget app using react + capacitor(app packaging)

android worked fine and easy, but iOS was tricky

[Jongseo Chon @jongseo729]

anyone experiencing lazier commit messages?

Cursor did a lot today.

[Jongseo Chon @jongseo729]

@edgars_xx Completely agree!
But when I interview people showing them my app and found out that whole tab or feature was not neccessary, ouch it hurts 🤣
Now I validate app in person to see if I really keep certain features

[Jongseo Chon @jongseo729]

Any @lovable fans?

I don't subscribe yet, but I would happily give money if I need more credits.

1. I could export codes so that I could work on Cursor. FOR FREE!!!!!!

2. For reason No.1, I'm a fan. It is just not giving "GIVE ME YOUR MONEY" vibe unlike 99% other SaaS

I was not so creative; when I judge on myself

But being a soloprenuer with 0 revenue for 6 months, I think I'm evolving.

I look at things more positively now

I tried listening to podcast at my home garden where I don't really set my foot on and I am so happy and relaxed

@edgars_xx I studied Anthropology so offline is better for me haha by the way, i am building a simple & funny budget app, would you be up to be the first tester? 😉

Vibe coding idea: local ai scolding me everytime i buy shit stuff ledger app

Does anyone using ledger app? I was using a free app but quit due to ads. Swithced to notion and now vibe coding one. Should be something fun. Anyone needed one like this?

[Jongseo Chon @jongseo729]

@edgars_xx How do you approach people or do marketing? I go on foot and ask in person getting immediate feedback. Friends living nearby are the best ones I found

[Jongseo Chon @jongseo729]

@edgars_xx Hello!
I am finishing up a prototype, i think it will take some time to fully finish the backend and the payment. How's your status?

[Jongseo Chon @jongseo729]

Day 3 of the 5th business idea.

I went to a meetup event in Seoul to meet potential users, explained the idea and the pricing, all 3 of them said NO

I will ask 8 more people(or group) in the next 7 days and if any ONE of them gives me the money, I will stsrt building the app.

[Jongseo Chon @jongseo729]

@pseudokid Yeah bots are kinda insane. I DON'T like the things people do ONLY for money... it could be something fun or viral but bots are not my thing and they are harm to the society

[Jongseo Chon @jongseo729]

Asking solopreneurs: how do you find interviewees?

If you come up with an idea, don't you ask someone who might be interested?

How do you find them?
Would you use a platform to find potential customers to ask/test out your idea

[Jongseo Chon @jongseo729]

@pseudokid Hmm that makes sense, but what if you want to talk deeper with a person? Like exchange few comments doesn't seem sufficient to me. Aha then I could ask for personal chat/call.. that makes sense

[Jongseo Chon @jongseo729]

@pseudokid Great! Was it a model for the AI tool you made?

[Jongseo Chon @jongseo729]

@nico_jeannen I am interested! Solopreneur for 4 months now
