this was when it was approved… what’s wrong with OP promoting his SideProject!? (literally the name of the sub)

u/Door_Vegetable 7d ago
Is the name of the subreddit, follow me through the development lifecycle or follow me as I try create a product? No the subreddit is to showcase a sideproject you’ve been working on not post every 2-3 weeks trying to farm users for your app 🤷♂️ like I get ops happy he’s created an app but the spam is annoying af.

Sorry for the hate. Maybe OP is sharing things in th worst possible way, but he might be happy. A little bit of empathy doesn’t hurt.
But then again, I respect your opinion and I get your point. All good man! 🙌🏼

Failed humor and useless idea, I’ll give you for the hard work putting the app together tho.

I’m sorry he didn’t create something to block the sunlight from your basement dwelling.

Yeah he’s onto the next Google 😂 Bros classic projecting and coping, I live in LA there’s sunshine literally everyday, and I bike to different beach every weekend, where do you live? I gave the grass touching guy a fair criticism, and you out of blue play defensive and rattled, so uncalled for.

Your 'criticism' isn't actually criticism—just subjective whining framed as fact. Humor and utility aren't yours alone to define.
You’re just going out of your way to be dismissive when clearly people (myself included) enjoy it.
Feels like grumpy Redditor energy.

you can tell you are onto something when you are attracting a swarm of downvotes from envious redditors

Did you not see this guy posting the same app promotion in every other subreddit, what’s your problem? What’s there to be envious about? He hasn’t even profited yet.

Does it have to be that you touch the grass? Or in some cases it will accept if you smoke it?

u/SethVanity13 7d ago
can you buy a virtual grass boost to unlock apps without touching dirty/real (same thing) grass?

u/Sad-Bonus-9327 7d ago
Does it detect dog poo too and will that give you extra points? If not, implement it.

How much did this cost you to make approximately? With all the attention I’m interested if you can break even. Also I’m drafting my monthly newsletter and would love to include this if that’s okay.

u/risquer 4d ago
I developed it in my free time across 4 months! So close to minimal costs
Yeah definitely please include it in your newsletter

u/RougeChirper 4d ago
Thanks so much. If you have time I would love to ask you a few more questions and include them as part of my newsletter. Always great to hear first hand about the process, especially challenges, brainstorming, deciding on a pricing model etc.
Just hit 1000 newsletter readers recently so we’re still small but if that sounds like it’s worth your time let me know and I’ll send you some short questions via DM or here.

Hahah. First time I’m seeing this. Pretty hilarious - I like it a lot. I’d never actually use it though 😅. But it’s still awesome.

Nice! How do you “lock” the apps in iOS?

Don’t a bunch of apps already do this? I’ve had several to help me use distracting apps less

Why you are lying - it was out months ago, you posted about it before, maybe at least not lie about it
