Couldn't find it on the Play store by searching for the name and the developer's name: if it is not just me then your app is very hard to discover.

So I am installing it through the link you provided, which directed me to a "install success" page saying "your purchase is successful" even if your app is free. Another obstacle to adoption :-)

Last, I was not informed on the page of the app' size. Seeing what it does and the time it takes to download I am afraid it could be huge? Third obstacle :-)


Thank you for the feedback, I really do appreciate you taking the time to check it out and write out the comment! I'll look at adding a note about total app size in the description, it won't hurt.

As for discoverability / the "your purchase is successful" message, I'm not sure what else I can do, I've set it to free, no ads etc in Google Play. Maybe I need to hit a few more keywords for transcription so it surfaces it more.


The iOS Appstore also treats/words app installs as ‘Purchases’. Always confused my…

For me, searching for "whistle" on play store, I get the app as the third result (ignoring sponsored crap). Searching for "blazingbanana" gets me the app as the first result".

App info shows 218MB size, which I suppose is about what I'd expect for a model+app code :shrug:


Good to know, it's hard to know what real users would see in the play store and not Google just showing you what you want. Thank you for checking it out

New version of nocodefunctions.com in very good shape!

-> https://next.nocodefunctions.com

A complete refactor and stack change so that the web app can be more easily extended to new functions.


Very clear thanks. I'll see if the equivalent exists in Cursor

And if I may, these advice also apply if you choose Cursor as a coding environment.

I would be interested in a book telling the history of cinema and animation that you describe


Claude Code, thank you!

I hesitate trying Claude Code, there is a bit of fatigue installing new tools :-)

By the way: ChatGPT 5.1 Codex Max pro, which was rubbish when used directly inside Cursor, is actually very good once I access it via the OpenAI Codex extension installed within Cursor!

Mysteries of toolchains...

Anyway, that proved so useful when I maxed out my Claude credits.


To nick pick, it is more about 800% gain in productivity. Cost actually increased.

I refer here to my experience as a solo developer.

With AI assistance I don't spend less hours coding, but more.

There is the thrill of shipping relevant features that were sleeping in my drawers for ages, quicker. Each hour of coding delivers just 8 x more features and bug solving.

Also, whereas I spent a few dozen dollars per month on server costs, I now also spend an equivalent amount on subscriptions and API calls to LLM services for this AI assisted coding. Worth every penny.

So while productivity increased manifold, absolute cost actually increased as well for me.


Next version of my side project, which is a site to perform text to network transformations.

Change consists in refactoring the back and front end.
