💸FINANCIAL LITERACY CAN SAVE PEOPLE YEARS OF THEIR LIVES. From debt. From fear around money. From depending on one salary. From expensive mistakes that take years to repair. That is why this project means more to me than another mobile app. TEENAGERS + FINANCE IS A SERIOUS PRODUCT CHALLENGE. Teenagers will not use a product simply because it is useful. They lose interest quickly, ignore long explanations, and immediately sense when a product is trying too hard to speak “their language.” The real challenge is to make complex financial mechanics clear, build healthy habits, and create an experience they genuinely want to return to. In another situation, I might have turned this project down. But this one felt personal. 🧠For as long as I can remember, my father has repeated: “MONEY SHOULD MAKE MONEY.” When I was around 4, he took me to work because there was nowhere else to leave me during the summer. I spent entire days in his car, waiting while he went to meetings. Then he came back and entertained me with business. 😍We played “my business.” He explained how money was made, why assets mattered, and why a person should always have a financial way out. First, in the language of a 4-year-old. Later, in real business language. I do not know whether he was intentionally shaping my mindset or simply entertaining a permanently bored child. But it worked. I started investing early and understood: FINANCIAL LITERACY IS NOT ABOUT NUMBERS. IT IS ABOUT FREEDOM. It means not living from paycheck to paycheck. It means having passive income when business slows down or you temporarily cannot work. It means being able to change your city, country, or life without waiting for circumstances to become convenient. The war in Ukraine made that brutally clear. Money does not erase pain or injustice. But it gives you choices. This product is designed for the US and European markets, but I believe it can become global and give teenagers what many adults learn only after debt, fear, expensive mistakes, and years of financial stress. The client waited almost six months for our Discovery Phase. We completed Discovery, rebuilt the product logic, and are now moving forward. MY TEAM AND I ARE BUILDING AN ECOSYSTEM THAT: keeps teenagers engaged, builds financial habits, scales, and generates revenue for the founder. Because impact without a strong business model does not scale. 🔥 I AM OPENING A FEW STRATEGY SESSION SLOTS FOR JULY AND AUGUST. Have a mobile app idea? I will identify where it falls short of the real market and how to strengthen the product and business model. Already have a live app? Even better. I will review your metrics and show you where you are losing users, retention, and revenue. I have launched 350+ mobile apps and know when the problem is not only in product design, but in the product logic, monetization, positioning, or business model itself. 🚀 DM ME OR BOOK A STRATEGY SESSION THROUGH THE LINK. 🟢 https://calendly.com/asol_design/book-diagnostic-call-linkedin-clone . . .

Nice work as usual

I built City Chemistry for the #ConfigMakeathon 💌🌍

Try it here: https://citychemistry.figma.site/

It’s a compatibility test for the city you can’t stop romanticizing.

City Chemistry asks the less delusional follow-up:

Is that city actually compatible with the life you’re trying to build?

You enter your current city, your dream city, and your lifestyle priorities: budget, weather, social life, career, safety, and future roots.

It gives you a compatibility score, calls out the red flags, finds better matches, and sends you a postcard from future you.

Built with Figma Make, Supabase, Gemini, and Pexels.

Video demo coming soon 🎥 LinkedIn | X

This is awesome! Never travelling without consulting “city chemistry” again!
