Stamped..the first community powered iOS app discovery platform

Millions of apps go unnoticed every single year and its not because they’re bad.

The App Store front page is basically a corporate billboard. Apple, Google, Microsoft, the usual names. The same apps that already have millions of users and a marketing budget bigger than most startups will ever see. Meanwhile the indie developer who spent 8 months building something genuinely useful is buried on page 47 where nobody is scrolling.

I’m talking about the AI video editor that does in 30 seconds what Adobe charges you $60 a month for. The finance tool that actually makes sense for how normal people manage money. The productivity app built by one person who got frustrated enough to just build the thing themselves. The privacy scanner that tells you exactly what apps on your phone are tracking you. The note taking app that finally figured out how your brain actually works. The sleep tracker that doesn’t need a subscription to tell you you’re not sleeping enough. The language learning app that doesn’t feel like a game designed to manipulate you into a streak.

None of those apps are on the front page of the App Store. Most of them never will be.

Thats the problem Stamped exists to fix.

Stamped is a community powered iOS discovery platform built specifically for the apps that deserve to be found. Not the brands. Not the corporations. The builders. Every app gets a real developer profile, community voting across 5 categories, demo videos so you see exactly what you’re getting, and direct links to the developer’s Discord or Telegram so you can actually be part of what they’re building.

We’re in beta right now and looking for indie iOS developers who want their app in front of people who are actually looking.

The best apps shouldn’t be the hardest ones to find.

Hello everyone! I would like to have some insight about the job field. I myself am a full stack developer; however, I am having a really hard time finding a job.

Should I learn mobile development and try out this field?

I would like to know how I should learn via YouTube.

Any suggestions/input would be greatly appreciated!

** PS **

How is the job market for mobile development? Especially for Jr level.

Hi, last year I shipped my first ever focus app called Zennie to the App Store and of course I didn’t get a whole lot of downloads (I’d say around 40). I haven’t had a lot of or any feedback on how well the app runs or if the UI can be improved for better/easier experiences. This is a side/passion project for me and to get experience shipping an app to the store but I wish to see it do kinda okay. What are some ways I could make this function and look better (particularly with iOS 26)? Thanks!!

Need help transitioning from Mobile Dev to Backend

I’ve been in difficult situation where even experienced devs and Claude is not able to guide me. I used to be an android developer (Java + xml) for my initials year and then somewhat started learning kotlin. Then after 1.5 years transitioned to React Native as per my organisation’s requirement. Now I want to switch my company but seeing less opportunities for Android Developer with growing AI I’m not very much convinced to continue in this field. I’ve always been fond of Backend Development and even started learning it since 2-3 months. I want to switch to Backend but does only having personal projects for backend in my cv will help me transition and land an interview for the same ? As my whole CV screams of Android Development.

Guide me please !

I’ve been thinking about this lately and wanted to hear from others here. What actually made you start mobile app development?

For me, it started with curiosity. I used to use different apps every day and always wondered how they were built. That interest slowly turned into learning basic coding and trying small projects.

At the beginning, it was confusing and a bit frustrating, but also exciting. Seeing even a simple app run on my phone gave me a lot of motivation to continue.

I’m curious about your journey. Was it passion, career goals, freelancing, or just trying something new? Did you start with Android, iOS, or something like Flutter or React Native?

Would love to hear your story and what kept you going!

Hey r/FlutterDev, long time lurker, first time poster. This sub has been very helpful to me in the past when I've been trying to figure things out. So I wanted share some of the journey I went on recently when developing a flutter-based app for my family.
