My friend and I have been working on a replacement for Facebook events in our social circle. We found that a lot of people are not using FB events anymore and were having a hard time planning social events. Not making any money (yet) but we hope to someday! We designed our app to make it easy to share invites on any social platform/chat group without being tied down. https://dateit.io

Look nice. Can someone with a dumb phone and internet on a computer use it ?

Thanks! Yeah we support iOS, web and android! We are still adding support on web to create events but you can view and respond.

"Heads Up" but online and in multiple languages at the same time, e.g. even if an English word is up to be guessed, you can enter the equivalent word in Spanish or German, and you will get points for that, too. I created this because I like word games like that but my friend group is quite multilingual and most are not native English speakers.

Started a side project on helping short term renters find a place to stay mexico Riviera Maya that's not gringo priced.

Airbnb and lots of foreigners here with lack of local knowledge are jacking up the price.

Knowledge are generally shared in person or over WhatsApp/FB groups, not the most efficient.

I wrote a scheduling and training application for fighter squadrons. Used in a number of active duty and ANG sqs. Not sure how to monetize it. Also have a target imagery generator for training that's widespread on one aircraft type.

I'm building an End-to-End-Encryption app for Discord private chat, called discryptor.io [0]. It uses a Discord bot to deliver encrypted messages between users, rather than directly using the unprotected Discord chat.

I created an MVP for Windows but unfortunately haven't had the time and resources to make a mobile app yet. I would love to hear not just feedback on the execution, but the idea itself.

Also I'm not sure how monetizable the idea is but I'd like to give it a shot.

Disclaimer: This project isn't currently publicly available. I was using Simple as my primary bank, and their Goals feature made it possible to do envelope-style budgeting really conveniently. Unfortunately the bank that backed them, BBVA, sold to PNC. This lead to my Simple being shut down, and my account was converted first to a BBVA account and then to a PNC account. When I lost access to the Simple app I first bu…

You'd be competing with the likes of YNAB, that provide a lot of features already today (including auto-import in most countries). Tough job.
