Smooch is live on the App Store 🥹
It started in January. My partner and I were planning trips for March and May, and suddenly realised we’d forgotten a movie we wanted to watch and a new Korean place we wanted to try. Big plans: fine. Small ones: gone.
So I built us a shared space for all those “we should try this someday” ideas. You save them together, drag one onto a day, and it becomes an actual plan.
I made it on my own: product, design, the build with Lovable, the website and the blog - Framer. 60 builds, a few App Store rejections, and one timezone bug that sent us to squash at 2am instead of 2pm xD
And there are no photos inside, just Smooches characters. Because who calls their person by their actual name anyway? (or it's just me there, huh)
The whole story is in the case study 🦄

60 builds and a 2am timezone bug is the real launch story here

Shipping an end-to-end product independently from design to Lovable & Framer implementation is a huge milestone. Beautiful UI and storytelling!🤍

how'd you get the lovable build onto ios, capacitor?
Anastasiia's avatar
yeah, capacitor, mobile-first solution :) in my case - iOS. It's not my first app with lovable (even though it's the biggest one for sure), so starting with the clear prompt & instructions that it's and will be only the iOS app is the key and saves the time for sure, therefore Lovable can fully focus on mobile solution.

Congrats on the launch! Dragging a someday idea onto a day is such a simple way to turn it into an actual plan.
Anastasiia's avatar
ohhh, thank you! I was aiming for simple and elegant solution, thanks for noticing :)

That furry hand holding the phone is a scroll-stopper. These characters would be so fun animated, even just a little wiggle when a wish turns into a plan. Huge congrats on the launch.
Anastasiia's avatar
I knooow, right? thank you for noticing, I totally agree! 💛 I hope I'll get there with animation once the tech scope is settled a little.

Love seeing a real problem turned into a polished app! 👏 As a mobile app developer, I know how valuable it is to build something that solves everyday problems with a simple, thoughtful UX. The UI looks great, and the playful 3D visuals make it stand out! 🚀

Dragging a 'someday' idea onto a date is a clever bridge from saving to actually doing. The 2am squash bug deserves its own bedtime story 😂 Do you find reminders or that shared calendar gets more plans off the wishlist?
Anastasiia's avatar
thank you Abel! and yeaaah, that squash bug really does deserve a bedtime story with a couple of others😂
Honestly, it depends on the plan. For movies at home we just open the list. We’ve saved so many by now that it’s more of an on-a-whim “what do we watch tonight” thing, no...
Abel's avatar
Haha, the surprise date testing part got me 😂😂 But I really like how you've turned something so personal into an actual product people can use. There's something really cool about building around a problem you've experienced yourself.
And seeing you take it all the way to the...

I have some projects in mind, and one more on the way, but Smooch will be a primary focus for sure, I have so many plans for it, already preparing new release :)

It's really lovely. I wish I came up with an idea like that.
