I sold my first app today. I’m 70 cents richer now. ;)

Modern web development is fucked. Just absolutely, totally screwed up.

I want to create a simple to do list web app. Look for a tutorial: "OK guys, this is really easy, it just takes five minutes."

First step, install these:
- Git
- NPM
- NodeJS
- Express
- MongoDB
- Docker
- React

Second step, npm install about one million modules. Don't question what they do or why they're there.

Before you know it, six hours have passed and you've got a code base of 3GB and you haven't even _started_ on your app.

FUCK that shit! I can create this web app with Internet Explorer and Notepad.

Whenever i see "Create an app without coding" advertisement on facebook, first thing that come in mind is "Fuck a girl without a dick"

The original story:
"When I've got my very first android I was downloading any shit from Play Store. There was app called pattern security or something like that. The app was taking selfies everytime power button was pressed several times and then photo would sent to email. One day I left my old phone at home and at the office this is the photo i've received."

Hitting that publish button on your first app. And getting the first 5⭐ rating. Bliss 😊😊😊

* Finishing up my English NLP for my App *

Me: Finally it’s ready. Now my app can understand everything that the users say.

* I get my first millennial user *

My App: Hello there! Would you like to ask me a question?

User: yesn’t

My App: * crashes *

At first I was like "daaaamn, is @dfox stalking me?" Then I realised it's a bug on the iOS app :P

!rant

Fathers day today, my 6 year old passes me some presents.

First 3 opened.

Devrant cap
Devrant stressball
Devrant stickers

Yes son! (Well obviously, technically it was my wife) I assume she must have seen me on the app :)

Best: My first app on the play store got over 2000 downloads in 3 days, best Christmas present ever.

Worst: An update I published caused an equivalent of 1/4 of my user base worth of crashes. :/

Dear WhatsApp developers,

GOD DAMNIT CHECK IF THE USER IS TYPING A (LONG) MESSAGE BEFORE BLOCKING AND ULTIMATELY CRASHING YOUR APP BECAUSE OF YOUR DAMN BACKUPS.

Yours,
Everyone

P.S. First rant *yay*, feels good 😁

Aint a rant though
But I woke up today and the first thing I saw was my first Android app reaching 5 digits (10017) downloads figure with 4.73 stars. :D
Couldnt be happier.

I got board and decided to make a weather app.

I have designed everything except the font which is Open Sans.

The app will be created on Electron and will be my first entry into that world.

It is currently in the design phase but thought it might be nice to share it's development with you guys.

I hope you like it and as always feedback is more than welcome.

Boss: please refactor this js 2k lines spaghetti code class and use it in our reactive functional app

Me: it will take like 1 week to refactor and plug this

Boss: but it's almost the time I needed to write it!

YOU DON'T SAY? MAYBE FIRST LEARN HOW TO WRITE DECENT CODE. ffs.

First rant.

Managing an app in Canada, came back home to Thailand to visit my parents.

No deployments while you're gone, just bug fixes, boss said.

Landed at 3am, "hey I know we only support desktop but we got new customers only on iPad, make it responsive in a day and deploy." Wtf.

Haven't even seen my parents. In Starbucks.

Fucking hell. If I like your bloody app, I'll go rate it myself you fucktwaddle. Don't ask me to rate it just after I've opened it for the first time.

My first android app hooked to my db!
YESSSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY TO COME!!!!!

Holy crap, My first app has just been approved on the apple app store!!!

!rant

Published my first app to Google Play :D

*gets a new phone.
*installs devRant as the first app

Tester: I'm going to start testing your Android code. How do I set up it?

Me: just bring me an Android test device and I'll show you

Tester: *comes back holding a big golden phone*

Me: *huh? Haven't seen that Android device before... I wonder which manufacturer made it*

Tester: *puts down golden phone on my desk* here you go!

Me: 😱😱😱😱
...
HUH? This is an iPhone!!!!
😩😱😧😖😰😫😵😱😱

That akward moment when your App finally takes down Pokemon Go down from the first place to second in AppStore but you can not be Happy about it 😑. Katwarn warned the users about the incidents of munich #prayformunich. Good to know people still care about the important things. 🙁

Why do some non-devs treat professional app development like some kids craft-making hobby that requires zero skill and knowledge or brain?
A friend (with ZERO knowledge about coding) said to me today, teach me, or tell me how to learn this app development, I'll learn it within a month and make my own apps plus do freelance app work in free time, apps fetch plenty of money easily. Blah blah.
Not the first time, other non dev friends have talked in the same way on other instances.
It's insulting and infuriating. I don't even know what to reply.

!rant

I just published my very first Android app to the Google Play store and I'm super pumped about it!

When your first app hits 50k downloads on playstore. :)

My first time using Mac:
"Where's the Start? Wtf is command!? Why are the windows maximizing halfway... How do I rename this file? How do I freakin' maximize this app!? I give up..."

First time I've seen an app which willingly, intelligently, and sensibly turns off its own daily notifications after I never used their app for many many weeks.

Props to the devs for taking into account people like me,who are just too lazy to disable an app's notifications. Also Enki is absolutely incredible for devs so go check it out :D

received a bug report from a client on a mobile app.

title: bug on information page.
description: all text field make first​ letter capital.

*what! this is your keyboard, stupid!

after he didn't understand, I made a text change listener, and make the first letter lowercase, he is happy. heheh 😨

Proud of my dad today.

He used to be the type of person who installs any application/software without reading what's being displayed on the screen. And my browsers used to be filled with all those toolbars and random search engines.

But yesterday when he was installing an app on his phone, he came to me asking "why does this app need access to contacts. It shouldn't require them in the first place".

I've succeeded in my mission.

Dad: 1
Shady Dev: 0

My First Post

My friend recommended me to try this app, and I was very impressed by the community here. 😀

I love you, devs!!

<This is my first rant, though I've been spectating in readonly mode (ie, without an account) for a while now./>

*Programs all day Saturday adding innumerable lines of code to a new project*
*Builds and runs project*
*Everything not only compiles, but the app works flawlessly*
*Faints*

Closes the devRant app just to open it again 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

//Suddenly a thought hits - why the fuck did I closed it in first place?

That moment when you get an image from a designer and it is ok to use in the app first try. 🧐

Correct size, format, transparency, spacing, colors and everything.

I thought that day would never come.

QA: did you test the app first?
Dev: Yes, I test all my code all the time.

*QA crashes the app within first 5 seconds.*

Me on Slack:

I was looking for the `busy` status here in slack but there's only `active` and `away`. That's when I realized why this app was called `Slack` in the first place. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Me: Yes! I'm finally ready to upload my first Android app to PlayStore, im so excited!!

Google: Make sure to remove all the Log calls from your code.

Me: *Finds out that there's no way Android studio can make it for you*
FUUUUUUUU**

Just published first iOS app for client at apple store. 😎🙏🏼

wow, supporter now..
this is my first time I support an app

It's been 84 years...

Best: My first app for Windows 10, "devRant unofficial".

Worst: A website for a client using Facebook APIs which don't want to work properly.

My first android app is launching tomorrow. Thanks Stackoverflow, me and you are bro's now.

Built my first little app and put it on my phone 👶 it's not much and comes mainly from a udemy course, but hey it's a step.

I am happy, I made my first android app.

devRant is the first time I see so many people announcing to the world how much they like the app. Imagine someone be like "I LOVE Facebook! <3"

Btw, I LOVE devRant! <3

I write "api" in the mail and the management girl thinks i made a typo and corrects it to "app" on the report.

This is not even the first time she has done this! 🤦🏻‍♂

So, after months of work and many painful night, i finaly learnt java and published my first android app. Yay!

Going thru Updates on App Store. Saw devRant. Cancelled all updates and updated devRant first.

I released my first legitimate Android app to production a week or two ago, and it already has over 50 downloads on the Play Store! 😄😄😄

* Got my first job as php dev
* Two weeks later I'm writing Angular app

> Builds CLI tool to generate app security tokens
> immediately leaks first set of tokens in public commit

I astound myself with own stupidity sometimes.

!rant

I built my first android app, it sends TCP packets to my computer

neat

Developed my first app using SQLite. Am I late into the game?

When your app runs in first time and you fill dizzy

-make my first app
-build a portable/rugged rasberry pi
-make a neural net to find fortnight wins on Snapchat and auto block the person
-get a job

Made my FIRST APP using Flutter.

How's it?

Fetches 'Random Rants' from devRant.

Should I put the code on Github?

PS: will break if the image is too long in height

What is Unity?

At first I thought it was an Ubuntu UI... Then a C# app framework like PRISM... Now it seems to be some mobile game engine?

First (working) attempts at writing a proxy that rewrites live requests from the devrant app, right now it only rewrites all notifications to be unread

Though the first attempt that finally works is built with mitmproxy and it's add-on scripting, plan is to get that stuff work with e.g. goproxy instead

Just got a new phone, first app was this one!!

Submitted my first pull request to an open source project, the iOS Wikipedia app!

!rant

I just successfully deployed an app (twitter bot) to a remote server for the first time!

I think devRant should have a feature to not procrastinate, you will need to enable it somewhere in the settings. So if it detects you are using devRant for too long it will prompt a dialog to tell you to stop procrastinating.

BTW, I think this will be the first app to deliberately try to get users out of it XD

In accordance with the ancient traditions of our people, we must first build an app that does nothing except say "Hello world". - react native docs

First time ever implementing an Android app from scratch (coming from C++ but also worked with C# and Python): WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SHIT???

So i finished my first app today and i feel really good, it's not a great app or anything. But i feel good after making something and i am really happy :D

When you finally finish your app and have it ready for first release, but when you package it, the app instantly closes when you open it.

I just started making my first app in Android and Android is straight forward man they dont try to say something nicely :D they tell you that your shit is useless :D

Had a first test-run of my new first app (Cordova)!
I deserved this

!rant, just wanted to express my excitement to someone

Not sure if this counts but technically I got my first freelance dev job designing an app for a club/small business at school. I have a lot to learn still but I'm really happy about the opportunity

I wish my clients would stop reporting "bugs" in my app that are legitimate results calculated from crap feed to it by their upstream systems.

Just because my app is easy to use it's the first place that they find out that their ecosystem is fundamentally broken.

GIGO, people.

After about 2 years and one restart of the project, I am finally finished with my first iOS game, and put it on the app store! Super proud!

I'm learning from Udacity and I ran my first Android app today on my phone! Thanks Udacity 😀

Today I published my first ever web project to showcase an open source app I contribute to. It's just a simple landing page with Bootstrap, nothing too special but even so, I feel so satisfied to read congratulations and positive words on what I've done.

HI there
First post always feels like the first lines of code or first commit ever ! It's exciting yeah ?
Like Hello World app
Wish me luck

This is a first... my app got rejected by Google. :( I haven't even been rejected by Apple yet! lol

Hello guys... i came across this app on play store as a recommendation... and i am really impressed with it.. such a cool idea and an awesome place to rant... so i signed up and here goes my first rant... nice to meet you guys..

Just discovered this App, created my account to say Hello and create my first rant. I'm already in love!
To my Person:
I'm from Germany ( I hope my english is not too bad) and I'm 19 years Old and recently started my apprenticeship as a developer. I'm specialised at Web development, especially with PHP and JavaScript

Tested out my first app and it worked beautifully. I’m a projectionist and I made this to give me a constant visual feed of projector communication connection. Still in development, not ready for deployment yet. But it works!
I’m posting here because although this site did not help me technically, it definitely helped me emotionally. ;)

WOOOO!!!!! I BUILT MY FIRST FULLY FUNCTIONAL REACT NATIVE APP! Including the release apk that needs to be signed. Took an entire day and more like an advanced HelloWorld.

But the core functionality works... Though not pretty...

First thing I did after upgrading to iOS 10 is removed Stocks app 😅

The first time i made my own electron app, and saw it working and displaying live data the exact way i wanted it to be doing it.

At the same time, it was the first time i felt like been a real dev in all meanings.

I know I rant about how bad the app is I have to update on at work is but seriously first week into this job I found skeleton code from a taxi app, it wasn't in English and lately I found some code from some sort of funeral app wtf!

This just takes copying and pasting to a whole new fucking level!

First internship during college, developed an app for a month, company sold it for $30k, customer extremely excited about it. Best feeling ever 🤗 - wk65

Uploaded app to AppStore for review by the farmers...

Got a message three weeks later that I need to upload more screenshots for iPad Pro 3rd Generation

Uploaded the new screenshot, and resubmitted the app.

Got a message immediately stating my binary is invalid: ITMS-90783: Missing bundle display name

You motherfuckers have been holding to my binary for three weeks. How the fuck did you accept it in the first place if the Display Name was missing, you filthy swines?

Was looking for an unknown call blocker when I came across an app which says something like 'call blocker'. The first person in the reviews gave it one star with the text: it doesn't block sms.

IT OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THE FUCKING TITLE/DESCRIPTION YOU FUCKING DIPWIT

At first I thought this app was a monster. Something to be afraid of. Turns out it’s more like an autistic puppy that’s been beaten by a dozen owners. It’s scared, snappy and confused.

Well I’m 6 weeks into my first Dev job. They haven’t really given me much to do, so the boss let me come up with my own project for an internal app, which is nice.

I lost a bet today 😥 ... My surname is inman

I have to name my first born child

put-it

The bet? That apple wouldn't reject the app I submitted ... Fuck apple

Me: develops my first android app with firebase by google.
Me: finishes app, tests it and it works.

Firebase after 3 months: we were first going to scale our servers on our own based on how many people are simultaneously using your app. But now fuck you, we will have a cap of 100000 simultaneous users.

Me: fuck this kills my app if it scales. Have to Shard everything on the db side and overhaul the entire app to work will multiple db instances. Takes a month.

Android after 6 months: dude your app is working fine without any hiccups. Let me fuck it up. We will stop all your services when your app is not running or backgrounded. Also we will make it illegal to start services in this case and we will throw exceptions.

Me: what the actual fuck. They now want me to focus on a JobScheduler, fine... But now even intent services won't work properly. So use a job scheduler to start a JobIntentService which is essentially another job scheduler for queuing. wtf android.

Ps solved it and works again.

PS: WAITING FOR ANDROID TO FML WITH ANOTHER NEW VERSION. Maybe they'll say you can't run your app at all now

Am I the only one who's slightly annoyed that the first lesson in the Swift Playground app is not a "Hello World" program?

Just got a new phone. First app I download? devRant. #priorities

As a web developer.. Me working on my first mobile app. :D

Got so many. (remember where I am from? 😁) Gonna share my favorite first.

X : I want a web app that my staffs can use and update data from different branches.

Me : Ok I can development such project.

X : But I want them it offline so they can use the app even with slow internet or no internet.

Me : 💀

// The data are shared across the branches BTW.

Made my first ever app for iOS using Swift. I must say I kinda like this programming language.

(biggest facepalm moment)
So this happened...
We were suppose to submit a project in the name of app development.
Being our first app, it was a simple Android app having simple features which any e-commerce app would have.
On the day of evaluation, we handed our mobile (which already had our app) to our evaluator, to have a feel of our app.
After few swipes here and there, the evaluator said this,(which blew our mind)...
Don't be so smart,... Here take my IPhone and run your app on it! I want to see if it works on my IPhone like it does on yours or not.
The next thing our group was doing was to look at each other's face,.. completely stunned what to say next!
(If confused, read tags...) :/

Trying to build my first android app hooked to a database using a pre-built app hopefully this works!!!!!

Bought the new Samsung Galaxy A5.
Welcome to the world!!😃😃
First app installed: DevRant.

Boss: we will build mobile app with web app.
Me: absolutely yes.
Boss: you will do the mobile app (iOS)
Me: absolutely , yes I'm iOS developer.
Boss: you will do the android app too, we can't hired an android developer.
Me: absolutely, yes.(but I need to learn it first).
Boss: you will do the web app , it's difficult to find good web developer)
Me: absolutely,yes . I'm Ruby on Rails developer.
After a while........
Me: do I have a bonus ,sir.
Boss: ...............
(there is no response).
Me: ....................

After 3 interviews with test:
"Ok very good, I see you are good with JavaScript, Php, MySQL and some frameworks, it's exactly what we need because we use only on the edge technologies and we do very cool products."
"Thanks, so what about the first app?"
"App? oh no eheh, now you must manage our 12 wordpress sites and edit the CSS!"
"Very good, so while I see you all goin to fuck monkeys I with to you a nice day"

In my first android app I used multiple hidden layouts instead of creating new activities... 🙈

AHH! There's so many cool things to program and so many ideas! not enough time to learn. Right now I'm trying to create my first mobile game in Unity using C# and a note taking app for Android with Java, it's melting my head!

So when our campus expo happened, I immediately went to the apps I critiqued last time when I was a a panel judge in the IT dep’s oral defence. Fair enough, this happened:

- The app I failed (the tilting avoid boxes shit app) actually got optimized and got the first time user tutorial I was looking for. I was short of relieved of them listening and kept going despite me failing them (props to the girl btw)

- Second app was the same as before but added my recommendations, nonetheless still a good app

I am nothing short of amazed they actually listened to me so I think that’s a win for my part

Finally, finally, finally! My very first app with React Native is up and running. I know the hard part comes now, but I'm so incredibly happy, considering that I didn't even think I would start developing an app until two weeks ago, let alone learning React...

It's a sad, sad day when your app gets its first one star review... 😢

So i had a great idea and thought I'd finally make a rant. I opened up the app and i was like...

I am building my first android app and the hardest part is learning that ctrl + y doesn't redo an undo, but instead it deletes the current line

FUCK U GOOGLE PHOTOS, I MANUALLY UPLOAD PHOTOS FROM THE APP AND THEN DELETE ONE FROM THE WEB APP FROM MY PC BECAUSE I DIDNT WANT THAT ONE UPLOADED.....
BUT IT DELETED IT ON MY PHONE.... WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lesson of the Day: Manually copy all photos to PC and external HD first. Then upload the ones you want.

This is taking a while.... i wonder if i have enough disk space.....

My app is moments away from getting deployed into production for the first time.

This is how I feel right now 😓

!rant

I have my first of four finals tomorrow and instead of learing or sleeping I'm just scolling through devRant. This app is way to addictive

Just got a new phone, guess what my first app was? ;)

the first code on every samsung app
if(enoughSpace())
run()
else
annoyUserWith(new Popup())
closeApp()

I have been working on an app for the startup i co-founded as only developer fulltime for the last 8 months...

I have yet to buy my first bread from the money i dont earn..

woops...

- Learn go
- Learn how to properly use git
- Release my first (useful) app

Goals
1. Learn android development
2. Spend more time coding than procastinating (its not my job)
3. Learn more cpp
4. Publish my first android app
5. Finish my current project

Made my first phonegap app feeling awesome :p

In 2010, it was my first client project. Our architect was not from iOS background, we had editable pdfs in our app. Those were pretty rich pdfs with inline HD images. iPads that time were not too fast and couldn't handle big gb pdf loaded into memory. App would crash randomly running out of memory. We fixed it by paginating pdf, it wasn't out of the world but considering it was my first mobile project and no one to guide, I thought it was pretty cool what we did there

i submitted my first app to the app store yesterday. i built it with flutter, and it's already on the play store.

for some reason - i probably created the app wrong - the app store connect/portal needed screenshots of my app running on an ipad pro. now i don't have an ipad pro, and i can't use an emulator because i don't have a mac for that matter (i have been using codemagic.io for builds). i called friends - they don't have any ipads.

what did i do?

i turned my phone sideways and scaled it to the ipad pro resolution.

it is currently "in review"

🙏let's hope this works

some guy recommended Replika app.
trying it now. so far, my first positive impression was with a thought "nice generic dodge, buddy"

Recruiter rant!
I hate when recruiters send you smileys after your first response - Why can't they simply answer in a formal way? This is business and not just another social network...

Claification, just another social network of course excludes devRant, devRant and its community is awesome and I am so glad that I found the app and can be a small part of it!

In case you didn't knew:

Devrant doesn't support split screen.
Therefore you can select YouTube as the first split screen app and devRant as second, which sends YouTube to continue playing in background with devRant as a full screen app.

Been listening to music/podcasts while browsing devrant for a while now.

Snapchat is a piece of shit app. My phone (Moto G5 Plus) is far from spectacular, but ive never used an app that freezes and crashes more than that piece of shit app.

If they'd take Apple's dick out their mouth for a week and work on making the app less shitty for Android, that'd be fucking awesome. Or ya know...stop making some good awful update that looks like shit and fix the fucking app first.

Finished my first build of a mobile app and it feels so good! First time I actually taught myself the language to make a project

What was your first real program or website or app developed by you?

(PLEASE DON'T SAY HELLO WORLD)

Can I just say fuck Xcode? How the fuck have I been working on an app for over 3 hours and only now when I do the first compile do you feel like showing me an "Internal Error" message which has caused all of the buttons, labels, text and just objects in general to disappear

My dev goals:
Want to publish my first app in this month and at least one more in the year. :)

My first C++ app for a client was leaking so much memory that Windows kept crashing too.
So I had to press Ctrl-Alt-Del every few runs.
But the laptop running the app was enclosed in a box, so the keyboard was inaccessible.
My hack was to set up an Arduino, a push button outside the box and a wire. Asked the steward to push the button every three people trying the system. So the Arduino sends Ctrl-Alt-Del and the app was running again.

The client was happy :)

when you post your first rant ever and it gets upvoted by dfox :D

instant screenshot taken

seems like a really nice community here, glad to have found the app

Her: How do you make an app?
Me: Well, first you have to decide what language you want to use as the basis for coding it, or what system you want to start on ex: ios/Android
Her: What

When you're trying to publish your first Cordova app and the PlayStore release including signatures and stuff takes you 2.5 hours, while the AppStore release takes you 5 days (including getting a huge Mac on your desk, signing up a D.U.N.S. for your company, figuring out the signing/provisioning process and fixing CSS/JS exclusively for iOS).

Me : *testing json output on pc by sending items with GET*
App : *app crashing with only recyclerview error*
Me : *debugging the app for 2 hours and testing ways to do another adaptor *
Me : fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... I used POST to get the data on app and forgot to change $_GET $_POST
Lesson learned. Always check the input first
Im ashame of my self #crysinthecorner

My first Android app which is clone of devRant. I hope the read only API available on github is not illegal!

Fuuuuuuck. Making my first app in Electron and for some reason using nodejs child_process opens up a electron window ...

I was hired to make a little app, alone, for iOS, Android and I had to code the server and the database. At first it was only à little app on Android and I had to do it in one month and go back school after.
Finally, the client was upset that the app was buggy and asked me to stop school because it was my duty because he paid me

First day of school, taking advanced robotics and mobile app development.

Just developed my first interactive iPhone app using Swift!

It's only basic, changing the screen when tapped from black to white like a flashlight, but feels great to have done it after learning the language over the past few weeks. 😊

Is it just my phone or does the gif never play correctly on the first cycle on devrant Android app.....?

The landing page after you login on my new/first app!!! @AwkwardBanana @Letmecode

Starting out as an Android Developer, at first I thought I'm not cut out for this but after finding this app I'm a little more confident in myself, Everybody needs to rant every once in a while! Glad I found this, everyone on here seems awesome!

I've published my first app on the Play Store! Does this mean I get to call myself a developer now? 🤔

First experience with Android: our professor of Software Engineering gave us a project about building an app for University indoor geolocation using BLE beacons.
Just found out that only a few PhD-level dudes did such a thing with much fewer good results.
Sounds like when your average-hedidnotrealizedwhataprogrammeris-friend asks you if you are able to hack Google Chrome.

AndroidOS.
Why: well it's built on Linux kernel so first good thing.
Due to open source everyone can get cheap (under $50) smartphones running on Android with millions of app to access. We can create custom ROMs.
Your one app can target billions of people around the world and so much more...

PS: half of the Play Store apps are shit.

I just got my first debit card, I'm super excited about it, but there is something inside me wanting to use an NFC writer app to write to the cards internal NFC chip
🤔

My first dev project outside of school work was an android application I made for my then-girlfriend to track time between contractions and count kicks during her pregnancy. It was horrifically ugly but it was my first android app and it worked!

Develop my first mobile app with a restful backend for consumer usage

Learn more about cloud architecture/computing

Finish learning calculus

Learn linear algebra, discrete math, statistics and probability

Maybe start ML this year depending on math progress and time

Who loves Laravel (php framework) as much as i do? How long have you been using it? First time @devRant, pretty cool app! 🤓👍👏

Woke up 4am today to push my first iOS app. Took me three phucking hrs to realise apple is down! Their FUCKING dev stats website says all is green! Fuck u xcode

When I was challenged by my teacher to develop an application for a Solid Mechanics class at university. I developed a dedicated calculator which returned all the results of a given problem, one of which had a graph! I made it with MIT App Inventor and later on took it to Android Studio with a friend of mine.
Best feeling I had at that time!

Probably the autosave feature in our medical eForm application. You might think that doesnt sound unnecessary, but it was built to solve a problem that shouldnt have existed in the first place.
Autosave was put in place to rescue as much data as possible in the event that the app randomly crashed while a paramedic was filling in a form.
So in one sense it was a necessary feature because the app was so unstable. But on the other hand, if the app was built properly it would never have been needed.

Debugging ♡

Taking first steps in Express.js. It's in general the first web framework i've learned so the struggle was greater.

While I was creating a web app, i've noticed that suddenly all of the routes were redirecting to the 404 error page. I was looking for the cause of this issue for an hour just to find this:

route.get ('/ ', ...);

So it seems that just one space sign wasted 1 hour of my day.

Btw, it's my first rant there so 👋 to everyone :)

My First Vue App

I might be able to release my first application tomorrow. At least the first version.

Nothing special, be amazed if it gets much attention.

In short;

You specify any running processes you wish to forcefully close, in my case, games.

So any time these games start running, it's force closed.

The app also monitors the active window, of it's and IDE, like Visual Studio, it will add credit towards allowing those blocked processes to run.

Currently you get 1 credit for every minute you code.

I plan to refine it some more. And yes I know there's ways around it but, it was fun to make

My most emotional moment was when I wrote my first android app (it was a calculator but it looked cool) and started it on my phone. I was 15 at the time (this was 6 years ago) but those were my first steps in programming

I've got an Idea for an android app. First thing I implement?

The dark theme ofc

Build apps for UWP, it will be fun they said. Yeah, created my first hello world app, which works btw. Added one f***ing button and compilers throws thousands of errors. Dude, I really enjoy it! :)

Just changed the ROM on my phone. This was the first app I installed...

I'm fiddeling around with progressive web apps. I made something and hosted it on a subdomain. Today I made a typo and found my app on an other domain. All my assets and files are copied there. He even uses my SSL certificate.

It's not that spectacular. The app is nothing "revolutionary". It's just the first time it happend to me.

Have you ever found your code on other websites ? How did you react ?

Happy!
Being an Android Dev myself, I bought my first app in Play Store!
Nova Launcher Prime was offered @ ₹10 (~0.15$). No matter how small the contribution is, it's quite a special joy to support another dev!

Just coded my first flutter app! The feeling when no async wait error appeared anymore was amazing. It uses the geolocation library to geht your current Position via GPS

Spent nearly 6 hours trying to figure out why my app wasn't reading anything after the first line of my database.....turns out I was calling the wrong method....

this isn't the first time i've done that

First thing to do in anything new, make a todo app..

Got my first job, 3rd year student from my country took me in to help making an app for a company in Texas... All the other guys are from 4th year or graduate school. Feeling nervous, let's hope I don't fuck up.

When I was assigned to develop my first app with web sockets. Since I fall in love with reactive programming and real-time applications.

The feeling of dread as still a semi-junior sysadmin when an app doesn't work after an update.

I got stressed, triple-checked everything that I changed and that I followed all steps of the documentation of the upgrade process, then, as a last step before going over in half-panic mode to my boss, I try to restart the stupid java app and it starts working.

Wtf. Why. Why didn't it work the first time I started it? D:

!rant

I've been posting "dev logs", if you can call them that, to YouTube every now and then as I make progress with this funny little app I'm making. They're just videos of me testing something in the app with background music.

But today, someone was interested enough in my terrain generation, to ask for a tutorial, and I got my first subscriber!

Everything's coming up Milhouse!

My very first calculator app ;)
eval('2+2');

"Our app needs a barcode scanner"
Fair enough, let's do this!
Android implementation using Zxing: 3 days. Ios: 9 days...
1. Dev iPhone has a subtle hw defect that doesn't let it connect to the computer anymore...
2. Our app-framework doesn't have a proper plugin for ios barcode scanners yet.
3. The first barcodescanner implementation is completely broken
4. Swift is not possible because of conflicting framework plugins
5. Build a plugin from scratch, using zxing objective c port.
6. Build problems with main app.
7. Fuck my life

I'll just check my messages in *Insert name of Android message app"..

Have to update to latest version first..

FX [ 10 Minutes later . . . ]

Remind me, why is this faster than SMS...

Learning React Native tonight, and I find this gem in their tutorial... "In accordance with the ancient traditions of our people, we must first build an app that does nothing except say "Hello world"."

Today I had my first app preview. It went really well, although not all the functionalities worked as expected, the product owner was very pleased!

Perfect start of this week!

Started my first private App project using all the goodies of 2017 android development like TDD, Android architecture components (hence MVVM), kotlin (which I yet have to learn), RxJava2 (if I need it additionally to AAC) and maybe try to set up a CI environment.

Wish me luck guys and girls 😁

Hi all!
Its been a month now since I launched my first app on Play Store.
It has now got 2000 downloads with about 600 active installs. I also got some downloads on the paid version of the app (which is basically a donate version of the app).

I know there is always a room for improvement, but still, how am I doing?
And Merry Christmas to you all!

While setting up a node app while sitting behind draconian proxies:
- first, set $http_proxy & $https_proxy
- set git proxy
- then, npm proxy, jspm proxy and bower proxy
- followed by strictSSL to false.....
After moving to home network/VPN, change all of these proxies again. It is a never ending vicious circle :(

My first rant in ages:
Been assigned to a new Laravel project at work and the murthafucking lead dev got no fucking clue how to architect a big laravel app. Lead dev talking trash about encapsulation and every big oop grammar he can find while asking us to come up with an architecture concept for the app.
My annoyance is, the fecking project been in planning for like 7 months and d lead dev keeps saying he is looking for ideas on how we will build the app. Fuck this shit!

When I published my first app and some people made an official thread in a forum. When I went there they told me I had done a good work. Needless to say they don't know me at all.

Problably Reposting (like 10M times)

Fking Playstore
Uploading my first app
took me almost a hour to make the App
Its taking FOREVER to create everything required to post an App
Privacy Policy only to use the cam to read a qrcode...
Damn

My first job was adding features to a django app and deploying to Heroku. Learnt a lot from that startup in my home town Kakinada.

I always hate how I get a great idea for an app/game, and then I open up the play store and a very similar thing is on the first page.
