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)
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.
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.
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?
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...
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.
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 :)
We kept zooming in on a planet until it didn't fit on the phone.
A ringed gas giant grows until it fills the whole screen and lands on a deep boom. It's drawn in text characters, one per cell, against black space.
It's 11 seconds, and the sound is ours too.
What should we fly past next?
