From a forgotten Telegram Bot to $1,000+ MRR: My Vibe Coding Journey with 3 Apps

Hey everyone! 👋

I wanted to share my story of how I crossed the $1,000 MRR mark with my "vibe apps" (2 on Android, 1 on iOS). It’s been a wild ride of pivoting, AI coding, and learning marketing on the fly. This is Part 1, covering the early days and the first major pivot.

# 🎬 The Origin: Being "Cheap" Leads to Innovation

It all started with a simple problem: I didn't want to pay for Telegram Premium.

I created a basic Telegram bot using a Python noscript that accepted video/audio mess...

Issues on my nothing phone (2)

yesterday my NP2 suddenly crashed and hasn't been able to turn on since. It keeps trying to boot up then a "crashdump" screen appears and then it tries to boot up again. The only way i found to stop that loop is to power off the device through fastboot mode, i tried everything, even doing a factory reset but to no avail.

the crashdump screen is the same as on the attachment

Has anyone tried the new Gemini-powered auto-translation in the Play Store Console? How's the quality?

Hi everyone,

I recently noticed that Google integrated Gemini models to automatically translate app strings directly within the Play Console.

As a solo developer working on a niche engineering app with lots of technical jargon (terms like "decompression flow", "orifice sizing", and "free-fall analysis"), I’m a bit hesitant to rely purely on AI for localization.

For those who have tested it:

Technical Accuracy: How does it handle industry-specific terms compared to tools like DeepL or manual ...

How would you design onboarding for a kids learning app?

I’m building a kids’ learning app for ages 3–7 on Android and want feedback on the **onboarding UIUX** (Grow little kids ).

Goals:

* Make it clear it’s educational, safe, and ad‑light
* Very simple, parent-friendly first‑run experience
* Let parents set age/level quickly without a long sign‑up

Current idea:

1. Screen 1 – welcome [Grow little kids](https://growlittlekids.in/)
2. Screen 2 – learning focus (rhymes, alphabet, numbers, colors)
3. Screen 2 – with age ranges (3–4, 5–6, 7+)
4. Scree...

Which database should i use for android? firebase?

What should be the structure? Say I want to store the parent having children ( one to many), this is one set. Like that, there will be n number of sets. Obviously, no child should get involved with other parents and children, and an individual parent should be able to access their children. (The child will be allocated to the parent, depending on some attribute.)...

compose-camera: a CameraX-based camera library for Compose Multiplatform

Hi everyone,
I’ve released a new camera library called compose-camera, built on top of CameraX and designed to be used from Compose Multiplatform.

Photo and video capture via CameraX
Pinch-to-zoom and tap-to-focus support
Permission handling is included, so consumers don’t need to wire OS-level permission APIs separately
Captured results can be processed through a plugin-style API

If you’re working on Android apps using Compose (or CMP) and have thoughts on API design, Ca...

Kotlin/Compose image grid performance

Hi all,

I'm building an app targeted at a pretty low powered device (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Rockchip-RK3566-Processor-Benchmarks-and-Specs.741611.0.html).

A crucial part of the app has a grid of images (loaded from disk) that can be scrolled via a slider. There could be a lot of images in the grid. I'm testing with 1000 images at 128x128 size. At the moment and my Kotlin/Compose project is real...

Actual Offline PDF Editor like Word Processors.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a small Android project called RevPDF. The goal is to make it easy to do quick PDF edits (like resumes) directly on your phone, without creating an account or uploading files anywhere. Everything runs offline.

It’s still early, but the focus is on keeping the original font and layout intact, so edits don’t feel “reconstructed” like many mobile PDF tools. I built this mainly for myself and people who need to make fast change...

How can I find out which API an Android app uses with Genymotion?

Hi everyone,

I’m new to Android development and mobile app analysis, so please excuse any beginner mistakes.

I haven’t used any tools yet. I’ve only done some research and learned that Genymotion is commonly recommended as a good Android emulator, especially for testing and analysis. That’s basically where I am right now.

What I’m trying to learn is:

How an Android app communicates with its backend
How I can identify which API endpoints an app is using (URLs, requests, responses)
