Original Summary

For years I kept wanting tiny apps that no store would ever build — a tracker shaped exactly like my routine, not "for everyone." So I built Criai: you describe what you want in plain language, and AI generates a real, private iPhone app — your colors, your rules, zero code. Made for one. The wild part in testing: the same request ("expense tracker") produces totally different apps depending on how you describe the vibe — minimal, neon, cute. Same function, three souls. That "made for me" feeling is the whole thing. A few honest lessons from shipping solo: - Onboarding is where you die. Plenty of people requested access and never finished setup. The gap between "interested" and "installed + created an account" is brutal. - AI fatigue is real. This sub has a "Not-AI projects" megathread for a reason. I stopped leading with "AI" and started leading with the outcome (an app that's yours). - Distribution ≠ product. The app worked; getting the right people to try it is a separate, harder job. It's live on the App Store (iPhone), free to start with 1,000 credits. Access is invite-based right now — I approve in batches so I can actually watch how real people use it and not drown in support. Landing (EN): https://criaiapp.com/en — would genuinely love feedback on the concept and the onboarding flow, since that's my current wall. What would make you trust a "build-your-own-app" pitch enough to actually install?   submitted by   /u/bscass [link]   [comments]
