Hello Everyone. I've made many prototypes that I really love, but I've never shipped a product yet. I need someone to help me cross that finish line. I don't mind giving credit where it's do and you getting compensated if the app/apps start generating revenue. Thank you for your time.

hi. I also got many prototypes I haven't shipped yet, lol
honestly, idk how 'crossing the finish line' works once the app is done

That's where I fall short and all the doubts start clouding the air for me. I refuse to push out garbage.

one of my seniors says to just ship it. but i just realised i dont know where to ship it or how to do so.
ok heres the deal. maybe pick your favourite app, publish it wherever works best for you, do an organic outreach maybe on social media or through chats, and see if ppl like it.

Well it's also about the costs accrued as well. I'm not sure what it's going to cost me to run the application which will probably be cloud run.

hi, if you are doing android app you need create a dev account on google play, if is desktop app you need create a web, also can add it to product hunt, if is open source github, and main goal share it, share tiktok, instagram, linkedin, create a webpage to present it. if have domain fine if not dosent matter use github.
Before ship it you can do next:
prepare the summary (main goal reach your audience, you can leverage ai for that)
and just a checklist:(is good to have but if not for start is depend what you want to archive) have unitest, make a code check can use sonarquebe for that
also if your app solve some issue and you want sell it or share it try find the audience, if is for bussines you can search on gogolemap(can use some tools ai or other scrapper) to get emails and send emails

You need a "go to market" plan. Google that phrase and ask AI for 3 examples of plans you can consider for finding customers. Also read the book "Lean Startup" to learn how to launch your business. Building prototypes is fun buy finding paying customers is a challenge.
If you like a challenge... it can be fun too.

I see the need and have had many people reach out wanting to try it out but I'm not really sure how to run the beta testing stuff. My biggest hurdle has been hardware restraints because I have a couple years old Chromebook and a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, but I don't have anything that's got some decent RAM.
