Hi, husband here :)

To share with you a bit of the journey:

- from Sept to Dec 2022: built an MVP of a slightly different app using Javascript + Phaser3 as I learned how to do full-stack development. Wondered how to launch this before we latched onto the idea of creating something simpler to reach a wider audience

- Jan to Feb 2023: built a simple website for people to check in their location and how they feel by filling out a survey. You can check out the website here: https://lonelyworld.info . We got >1000 people log their location, and captured about 100 email this way by lauching on Hacker News! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34584462 And on this MVP was where I met a friend from South Africa to work on the app together!

- Feb to June 2023: built the mobile app with Flutter.

- June to now: We have continuously added features to create more values to the users, including doing our own podcasts in the app! We are hunkering down on user acquisition and refactoring the app to make it more performant.

I've recently caught onto the flutter bug and started creating an app my self. Really liking it. The DX is amazing.

You might need to add a splash screen by using flutter_native_splash though, 2s of blank screen is a bit misleading as if its not working.

Did you name the app after the bublik, the bagel’s European predecessor, enjoyed from Kraków to Kyiv to Krasnogorsk and beyond?

What's you plan for the app long term? I mean do you plan to found the platform out your own pocket forever?

Is this using webrtc for the calls? If so, How are you finding it to work with that in flutter/dart?
