My First Business as a College Student

Hey guys! I am currently a college student and inspiring entrepreneur. I am extremely hard working and every single day I aim to get better. I love reading self-help/biographies/psychology , and strive to read at least one a week. I am almost done completing a pomodoro app but with a twist, your rewarded everytime a session is over. Got the idea from reading atomic habits, "if a habit is not rewarded it will not be repeated" You're given an avatar you level up, so in essence as you work hard and grow in real life so does your avatar.

I learned pixel art and started teaching myself IOS dev 6 months ago, and now I almost done with the app! I would really appreciate it, if you could check it out at https://focusbyte.io I would appreciate it so much! If you have any suggestions or just want to talk please feel free to reach out!

    Wow, This seems like an awesome and fun project :) Great work! I would love to try it once it's out. What would the pricing be like?

      Hi it will be free with in app purchases!

        aight, that sounds good.
        Would the timer be adjustable? being able to put in 52 minutes instead of the standard 25 mins? :) (I am already starting to consider whether it might then be better than my current tracker :) )

          Yes you can make anytime within the range of 5 to 120 minutes, using the circular slider :)

    Congrats on almost shipping! It is definitely not easy.

    I went on your website, and here's my first impression:

    • I think you can improve on the colors between the sections. Maybe use a palette?
    • Logo on the top left is pixelated. Although I'm not sure if it is intentional?
    • I personally don't like the font in your app screenshots

    These are just my thoughts, and you definitely don't need to follow them, as other people may find them okay. And I am sure you are also probably more focused on shipping the actual app than beautifying the page. Overall great work!

      Thank you will keep that in mind

      Highly agree, also something I recommend is to look around for good color and font combinations, just google it.

    Looks great! If you don't mind me asking, did you also create the landing page from scratch?

    Awesome work, your landing page is really polished and your app looks pretty intriguing. You are way ahead of the projects I tried launching when I was in college! Best of luck!
