Before you even think about submitting to the stores, set up TestFlight for iOS and a closed testing track on Google Play Console. TestFlight lets you invite up to 10,000 external testers with just a link, no App Store approval needed, and Google’s closed track works the same way. This is where you want to be for the next few weeks before you go public. For finding your first testers the honest answer is don’t start with strangers. Start with 10-15 people who actually have the problem your app solves, people you can message directly and who will give you real feedback instead of just saying “looks great.” Strangers on beta platforms tend to ghost or give surface-level notes. People who feel the pain your app addresses will tell you what’s actually broken. Once you’ve burned through your personal network, r/TestFlight on Reddit is genuinely good for iOS — post there with a clear one-liner about what the app does and you’ll get testers within hours. BetaList and BetaFamilyApp are worth submitting to as well, though the turnaround is slower. For Android, r/androidapps works similarly. The feedback question is actually more important than the distribution question. Most first-time builders ask “what do you think?” and get useless answers. Instead give testers a specific task — “try to complete X without me explaining anything” — and watch where they hesitate or get confused. That’s your real data. What kind of app is it and who’s the target user? That changes where I’d tell you to look for testers specifically.

@Tim Tavender This is exactly what this community is about—massive execution! 🚀 Burning through Lovable credits is the ultimate proof of work. Persuasive Email and Trainspotter look great, and the revenue share platform is a huge undertaking. Now that you are crushing the building phase, what's your game plan for user acquisition and marketing? Let us know if you need any feedback on the launch strategy!

@Tim Tavender I totally get the tool-hopping temptation! I use Bolt and a few others too for different workflows, but sometimes just upgrading the Lovable plan and keeping all your momentum in one place is the smartest move. Building the Trainspotter app for your son is amazing. I have a little boy myself, and the idea of being able to build custom software for his hobbies as he grows up is such a cool perk of vibe coding. Plus, using his YouTube channel for distribution is a great organic play! Your go-to-market strategy for the other two is spot on. Partnering with a copywriter who already has a massive list is the ultimate cheat code for distribution. And your angle for the Rev Share platform—that freelancers need equity or they'll get replaced by AI—is a brilliant hook. Webinars and ads will crush it with that message. Keep us posted on the launches! Would love to see the numbers once that copywriter blasts their list.

@Martyna Klos Welcome Martyna! 🇵🇱 This is such a cool first project. The 'Mirror Practice Mode' functioning as a teleprompter is a genius idea for language learning. Prompting UI builders like Lovable can definitely be tricky at first. A quick tip: use highly descriptive visual language and give the AI references if possible. What is the hardest part about getting the exact output you want right now? Is it the layout or the logic/functions? Keep pushing, building an MVP in a day is impressive! 💪

@Martyna Klos Totally normal! Teleprompter behavior involves tricky state management (timers, scrolling, pausing). A great workaround is to open Claude or ChatGPT, explain exactly how the teleprompter should behave, and ask it: 'Write a highly detailed technical prompt for an AI coding assistant to build this feature.' Then, take that precise output and paste it into Lovable. It usually works like magic!
