How to publish a mobile application from scratch in 48 Hours? #Build-in-Public

Hi everyone!

I'm Furkan, today and tomorrow we will build a mobile application with my business partner Kemal.

We just have an idea and name of the application - also domain too. We started tweet flood in this morning.

You can follow the flood via :

What’s our plan?

  • Kemal will design application in Figma
  • Meanwhile, I’ll search a theme for landing page and deploy.
  • Kemal will code the UI of the application with Flutter.
  • While Kemal coding the UI, I will code the backend services of the application and make required integrations.
  • After all, we will deploy both landing page and applications - Google & Android.

Update 1.0 -

  • Kemal has finished Figma design.
  • I finished the landing page without app screenshots.[Because we don't have yet :) ]

For images :

Until now, everything goes well. We focus on the UX strategy when designing the app and writing content. Our main UX strategy; people can use NoteFly with one hand easily. It has to be a fast process for taking notes.

Update 1.1 -

  • Kemal almost finished coding of UI.
  • I send first emails for notes. It includes audio and video notes.

For images :

Also, we decided to work with MailGun as an e-mail service. We integrate with the backend and right now we are done for today. Tomorrow is the important for us to finish everything about NoteFly. However, on the first day, everything goes well.

Update 1.2 -
Today we are starting earlier than we expect, because we are really excited for NoteFly. Until now (in 3+ hours) what we did;

  • Kemal finished coding the application completely.
  • I finished and published the landing page.
  • We plan to give a promo code, subscribers who subscribe before we publish the application.

Update 1.3 - CHALLENGE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED

We are completing the NoteFly!

You can watch the screen record from Twitter.

It was really exciting for us and we are happy to completing successfully. It takes almost 18 working hours. We just focus on features that are our solving problems and try to provide the best UX for fast-taking notes. We don't want to add many features that came to our mind, if people want these features we can add them on demand.

Most probably in this week, we will finish the App Store and Google Play Store contents and you can try and use the NoteFly.

With NoteFly you've never lost ideas that came to your mind about your projects!

    It’s always more fun to pair program, g’luck! We just spent 8 hours doing the same today, not in public though

      You're definitely right. It's even more fun if you're doing it with your 12+ years friend. Hope you will develop something build-in-public soon ✊🏼

    Awesome progress, good luck! I've been trying to decide if I should make a mobile app for katlinks.io or just do a really good responsive version. Since I'm super early, I think responsive is the best way to go for now 🤷

    Any thoughts?

      Thanks! As far as I examine, katlinks.io doesn't need a mobile application for now. A good responsive version is really enough, until it reaches the number of users than the desktop version.

      1. 2

        That's what I thought. Thanks for the input!
