LevelApp
A Marketplace for your favorite videogames
Once I had the mocks and the designs ready, I started my project in React Native on Github. The mockups gave me the opportunity to work out all the technical tools and packages for development.
I made the first push and proceeded with development.
For almost three weeks I drew a mock app on sketch to see the extent of such a program. In previous projects I always made the mistake to start writing code without fully understanding how the logic and UI/UX should look like.
To avoid the same mistake I decided it would be best to draw a sketchboard with all the app screens.
Once finalized, I send the mocks to some professional designers to give me a blueprint for the UI.

What app did you use? I've missed this. Nowadays, there are so many sketching tools that it is very challenging to stay updated with everything that comes out. Does anyone know any websites that are permitting free of charge sketch make features? I know several (this one for example: https://imagetosketch.com), but many times I can't make what I intended to. So I'm willing to try something else. If the monthly fee is below 10 bucks, it's ok. I can afford this, for a decent product. Thanks, and I'm looking forward to any insights in this regard.

Sorry for the late reply. I have used sketch (https://www.sketch.com/). I loved it and it is very straightforward and did what I wanted.

I came up with the idea and researched similar ventures and their success rate. Marketplaces where amongst the fastest growing apps.
I made an analysis and came to the conclusion that a marketplace for gamers is a good undertaking since there is a possible segmented audience to market to at the beginning.
Finally I decided to look at other similar apps like: Poshmark, Vinted, LetGo, Shpock and GameFlip. I started to write down the characteristics and redo the app screens on sketch so I could overview the scope of such a project.

Keep going. Is your site up under domain? I get the conn reset error.
Hey Marky, I am currently working on a nice landing page for the app . It will be released pretty soon.
