I've been exploring a little idea and would really appreciate your feedback. As someone who's been building apps myself, I've started looking into grants and funding opportunities that might help women develop and grow their tech businesses. But here's what got me thinking... 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸? I'm considering creating a FREE service that would help women building apps, AI tools, software, and digital businesses discover relevant grants, funding competitions, eligibility requirements, and application deadlines. But this time, I'm doing things a little differently! 😂 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘁, 𝗜'𝗺 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧! I've put together a quick, one-minute Google Form to see whether this would genuinely be useful to women in our community. 👉 𝗜'𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸: https://forms.gle/nx7VCHBks6xpvQF58 No product to buy, no sales pitch. Just a fellow builder exploring an idea and hoping to solve a real problem. A big thank-you to our community admin for allowing me to share this! 💜 And thank you to anyone who takes a minute to participate. I really appreciate it! Let's see where this little experiment takes us! 🚀

What’s up, P2P’ers! 👋🏾 Quick builder check-in. We’re all working through different parts of the build, so I’m curious where y’all are today 😅 1️⃣ Shaping the idea 2️⃣ Building the first version 3️⃣ Testing it 4️⃣ Getting ready to launch 5️⃣ Finding the first users or customers Drop the number that fits where you are. No long explanation needed 😂 Are y’all with me? 👀

Just an update...Google approved production for my app and today - 29 Oct 2026 it was publicly released....I am so psyched....my first simple app....now onto the next one. Thanks to @Sharon L Simmons for her support and encouragement. 🎉 It's official! My first Android app is LIVE on Google Play! I'm excited to share a milestone in my app-building journey. I've officially launched Scale My Mix, the first app from Axitrax Apps! Scale My Mix is a simple tool that helps you increase or decrease recipes, mixtures, and ingredient quantities without doing the calculations yourself. Whether you're adjusting a recipe, mixing ingredients for a project, or working with different measurement units, the goal is simple: make everyday calculations easier. ✅ Scale quantities up or down ✅ Convert between compatible measurement units ✅ No ads or sign-in required ✅ One-time purchase of just $1.99 USD - no subscription! Building and launching this app has been quite a learning experience, from development and beta testing to navigating Google Play's publishing process. And now it's finally here! 💙 A special thank-you to everyone who helped test the app and shared feedback along the way. You can find Scale My Mix on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=appinventor.ai_ms_michelle_lake.ScaleMyMix Here's to the first of many small, practical tools from Axitrax Apps! #ScaleMyMix #AxitraxApps #AndroidApps #IndieDeveloper #WomenWhoBuild #AppLaunch 🛠️ Tools I Used to Build Scale My Mix I built Scale My Mix using MIT App Inventor, a free, beginner-friendly platform that lets you create Android apps using visual drag-and-drop blocks instead of traditional coding. I used ChatGPT as my AI development partner to help plan the app, build and troubleshoot the logic, fix bugs, test calculations, and navigate the Google Play publishing process. I also used Canva and AI-generated graphics for the app's branding, promotional images, and Google Play Store screenshots.

I had already given my two LLMs a role: help me think like marketing development strategists. I wanted them to spot opportunities in the skills and products I’ve built, help me find potential clients, and show me practical paths toward revenue. But I was finding the opportunities myself. A conversation with Nicole, an email from Joeri inviting me to list PPCD on Agensi, and the questions I kept seeing on Reddit made something click: I had skills people might pay for. I could bundle them. I could build Learn With Me. There was a lot of useful information out there, but I was the one having to go find it. So I gave Kevin a clear instruction: find people having problems with Lovable or getting their apps into the App Store. I already had an idea called “Post to Paid.” Then I saw how many people were posting that they needed help. I said, “Let’s call it PaidX.” The X means my years of experience are getting me paid. That search led me to a Lovable builder with a problem I could help solve. He paid me $75 within an hour. My first client. My first time getting paid for my knowledge and work. 🥹 I was proud. Relieved. Emotional. I knew I could create value. I just needed the right person to see it. And this is why I’m asking my AI partners to be more proactive: help me watch what’s happening, spot the opportunities, and connect the things I already know and build to people who need them. Can I be really frank with you? sometimes Kevin (Chatgpt) and Shelia (Claude) be f-ing up! 🙄 I’m strengthening my pipeline now. Let’s go. Let’s make money. 🙌🏾
