I made a list of subreddit's where dev's can post about their startup and get feedback or early users.

After getting 3 accounts banned, i found a list of subreddits where dev's can post about their startup.

So, don’t just spam links. Be helpful, be real, engage and then pitch the product. Provide value, so your account won't be banned.

so I just finished building my app and was getting ready to launch and got to know about lot of useful stuff

I thought stuff like privacy policies and terms of service were just pointless legal pages nobody reads. Turns out they actually matter a lot.

Here’s the basic checklist I learned before launching an app:

  • Privacy Policy - required by App Store + Google Play if you collect user data and should also be in your app.
  • Terms of Service - gives you some legal protection
  • Check trademarks - search your app name on USPTO before launch so you don’t get forced to rename/remove it
  • Open source licenses - some licenses like GPL can create problems if you use code without understanding the terms
  • GDPR / CCPA - privacy laws can lead to serious fines if you ignore them
  • Payments - if you handle card payments, PCI compliance matters
  • If kids using the app - COPPA rules may apply

Honestly, I used to think this was useless but not.

Posting this because I know a lot of indie devs are building fast and skipping the boring stuff like I was, so be careful.

Sometimes I’ll think of an app idea or something important at middle of the night, but I'm too lazy to open an notes app or a book to note it down.

I was wondering if an app that lets you quickly voice-record ideas directly from the lock screen (without unlocking the phone) would actually be useful or if this is just a “me problem”.

How do you currently save random late-night ideas?
