</h2> <p>DiscountHub is a free platform that brings different types of online offers together in one place.</p> <p>Users can discover:</p> <ul> <li>Product discounts</li> <li>Promo codes</li> <li>Store promotions</li> <li>Limited-time offers</li> <li>Special partner deals</li> <li>Offers from independent digital products</li> </ul> <p>The goal is to make finding useful offers faster and more convenient.</p> <p>Instead of checking many separate websites, users can start their search from one platform.</p> <h2> Available on the web and mobile </h2> <p>DiscountHub is available as a website and an iOS application.</p> <p>The website provides access to deals, promo codes, stores, promotions, and special partner offers.</p> <p>The mobile application makes it easier to browse offers directly from a phone.</p> <p>Users do not need to create an account before exploring the platform.</p> <p>They can open DiscountHub, find an interesting offer, and continue directly to the store or product providing it.</p> <h2> AI-assisted offer search </h2> <p>DiscountHub also includes an AI assistant designed specifically for finding offers.</p> <p>Users can describe what they are looking for in normal language.</p> <p>For example:</p> <blockquote> <p>Find discounts on electronics.</p> <p>Show me promo codes for online services.</p> <p>Are there any special offers for digital products?</p> </blockquote> <p>The assistant helps users explore the offers available inside DiscountHub.</p> <p>It is not intended to be a general-purpose chatbot. Its purpose is to make searching for discounts and promotions easier.</p> <h2> Different types of offers in one platform </h2> <p>Not every online offer works in the same way.</p> <p>Some stores reduce the price of a specific product.</p> <p>Others provide promo codes, seasonal promotions, special campaign pages, or discounts covering an entire store.</p> <p>Independent developers may also offer special prices for their applications and digital products.</p> <p>DiscountHub keeps these offer types organized in separate sections so users can understand what is available and how to use it.</p> <h2> A focus on useful offers </h2> <p>A large number of offers does not automatically make a deals platform useful.</p> <p>Expired promo codes, misleading discounts, and broken links quickly damage user trust.</p> <p>DiscountHub is focused on helping users discover offers that are relevant and understandable.</p> <p>The aim is not simply to display as much content as possible.</p> <p>The aim is to make online deal discovery less confusing.</p> <h2> Why I built it </h2> <p>I created DiscountHub because finding discounts online often feels fragmented.</p> <p>One offer may appear on a marketplace, another on a store page, and another inside a temporary campaign that is difficult to discover.</p> <p>I wanted to create a simpler starting point.</p> <p>A platform where users can browse different stores, find promo codes, discover special offers, and use AI assistance when they are not sure where to search.</p> <h2> What comes next </h2> <p>DiscountHub is continuing to grow and improve.</p> <p>The main focus is making the platform easier to use, improving the quality of available offers, and helping users discover relevant deals more quickly.</p> <p>You can explore DiscountHub here:</p> <p><a href="https://discounthub.uz" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://discounthub.uz</a></p> <p>I would appreciate honest feedback:</p> <ul> <li>Is the purpose of DiscountHub clear?</li> <li>Which type of offer would you use most often?</li> <li>Would AI-assisted search help you find deals?</li> <li>What would make you return to a deals platform regularly?</li> </ul> ai webdev programming showdev Ulug'bek Sat, 27 Jun 2026 06:26:35 +0000 https://dev.to/masterbek/i-built-a-free-app-that-collects-coupons-promo-codes-and-deals-looking-for-feedback-4442 https://dev.to/masterbek/i-built-a-free-app-that-collects-coupons-promo-codes-and-deals-looking-for-feedback-4442 <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fbffzwhmg9811o9ezf7l4.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fbffzwhmg9811o9ezf7l4.png" alt="Discounthub" width="800" height="450"></a><br> Hey DEV community,<br> I’m building DiscountHub, a free app that helps shoppers find coupons, promo codes, discounts and online deals from different stores and marketplaces in one place.</p> <p>The idea is simple: instead of checkin<a href="https://dev.tourl"></a>g many websites manually, users can browse offers in one app, open the original store page, and save time when looking for better prices.</p> <p>I built it because deal discovery feels too fragmented. Some websites focus only on coupons, some only on products, some only on one country or marketplace. I wanted to make something simple where users can find different types of offers in one place.</p> <p>Current status:</p> <p>*iOS version is available</p> <ul> <li>Android version is coming soon after testing</li> <li>The app includes deals, promo codes and store promotions</li> <li>I’m still improving sources, filtering and user experience</li> </ul> <p>I’d really appreciate honest feedback on:</p> <ul> <li>Is the value clear from the landing page?</li> <li>Does the positioning make sense?</li> <li>Where would you promote a consumer app like this?</li> <li>What would make you trust a coupons/deals app?</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://discounthub.uz/?utm_source=devto&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_campaign=first_post" rel="noopener noreferrer">Website:</a><br> <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/discounthub/id6768538942" rel="noopener noreferrer">AppStore:</a><br> Thanks!
