The problem
I built a chat app with Flutter for Android.
Then I discovered I needed 12 testers for 14 days
just to publish on Google Play.
I searched everywhere. Every platform was either
paid, complicated, or dead.
So I built TestDrop.
What is TestDrop?
TestDrop is a free platform where developers
publish their apps and find beta testers.
Features:
- Find testers for Android, iOS, Windows and Mac
- Real-time chat between devs and testers
- Daily progress tracking (14-day periods)
- Multi-language support (7 languages)
- Free forever

Would love feedback from the DEV community

This is exactly the "I needed it so I built it" story that resonates. The Google Play 12 testers for 14 days requirement is genuinely brutal for solo developers — most people just give up at that step.
The real-time chat between devs and testers is a smart touch. Most beta feedback is async and loses context by the time it reaches the developer. Did you build TestDrop itself using Flutter or did you go web-first?
Going to keep this in mind — the "build the tool you wish existed" approach seems to be the most honest path to finding product-market fit.
