Ask HN: I'm a rookie building an app and need advice. Can you help?

Thu, 05/01/2025 - 9:01pm

I’m an absolute rookie, and know nothing about coding, but I’m using AI to assist me and I’m building an app, and currently using my actual iPhone that I use for personal/work purposes as my simulation device as well.

Should I actually use a completely blank iPhone for this instead?

Also, should I use a more updated version of the iPhone? I have old iPhones from years gone by floating around my house that are currently blank but some of them are so old they could probably go in a museum.

Alternatively? Should I just run a simulator on my actual computer (the challenge being that I’m actually using a laptop and I already have a limited amount of space on my screen.)

I’m not trying to develop a polished product at this stage. What I’m trying to develop is a reasonably well functioning prototype so I can pitch my idea to possible investors, and the secure the money I need to pay an actual developer to do it properly - but I still want my MVP to be pretty good because I want my actual pitch and presentation to be flawless. I’m doing it on my own because I don’t want to share my idea with others because I don’t trust people.

Show HN: I made a toast that shows what visitors are doing in real-time

Thu, 05/01/2025 - 8:51pm

Hey HN, A couple years ago, I switched from my corporate 9 to 5 job to become a Tech Educator. Starting with little social proof was tough, I only had testimonials from past colleagues.

Existing social proof tools were charging $75/month i.e. ($900/year) and were too complex to use.

This is why my partner and I built ProofyBubble for my Next.js Course Early Access Launch.

We saw a real jump in revenue the moment we added ProofyBubble to show off our website traffic, waitlist signups, incoming sales, and past sales.

I've since used ProofyBubble in all my products - my newsletter subscribers grew, sales increased, and I launched my course with tons of social proof.

I hope it helps you as much as it helped me. Would love your feedback please.
