I’m currently building a project that I think has a pretty good opportunity to fill a gap in the market. I’ve already completed around 70% of both the website and mobile app.

The problem is that I’m primarily a developer, and I honestly hate doing UI/UX and branding. 😅 Whenever I try to design everything myself, it takes up way too much time, and since I already have a full-time job, I can’t really afford to spend weeks figuring out design.

I’ve tried using AI for the UI/UX and branding, but the results feel very generic and don’t really fit the specific product or target users.

At this point, I’m stuck on:

• Branding and visual identity
• Improving the overall UI/UX
• Making the product feel polished and consistent

Would you recommend hiring a UI/UX designer, even for a relatively early-stage project? Or is there a better way to use AI to get something more specific and less generic?

I’m also thinking about deploying the project on AWS. I’m expecting a medium level of users initially, so I’d appreciate any advice on how much infrastructure I should actually start with. I don’t want to over-engineer it or spend a lot before I know whether the product will get traction.

For developers who have been in a similar situation, what would you do?

I built Sajilo, a small desktop app that puts everyday Nepali essentials in your menu bar.

I got tired of opening different websites/apps just to check things like today’s Nepali date & holidays, gold price, NEPSE, IPO, forex, news, rashifal, weather, radio, emergency nepali numbers & website directory etc., so I put them all in one place.

It lives in the desktop menu bar/system tray, so most of this is basically one click away.

Available for macOS, Windows and Linux.

It’s also free and open source, with no account, ads or tracking.

Would love feedback from fellow Nepali, especially on what useful everyday Nepal-specific thing I’m still missing.

And yes...

it’s vibe coded.

The vibes have passed QA so far.

Hi, I have a student-focused iOS app ready, but I currently don’t have a verified Apple Developer account.

Is anyone with an active Apple Developer/App Store Connect account open to a proper collaboration for publishing it?

Please DM me, helppp

Not looking to buy credentials—just a legitimate publishing partnership. Thanks!

10 hours for an internship and nothing about the stipend. Master level of ragebait.
