Hey Devs!
After 1.5+ years of indie development, dozens of setbacks, failed launch dates, rebuilding from scratch (sometimes literally), and a mountain of Firebase and Flutter challenges β Iβve finally launched my app: IntraVybe! π
π§ Why I Built It
I started this journey with a simple thought:
βWhat if people could express themselves in more than just photos or texts, in a way thatβs still social, but more personal, more creative, and more flexible?β
We already have the Instagrams and TikToks of the world, but I wanted to build something lighter, faster, and friendlier for creators of all kinds β whether you're posting memes, thoughts, music, or just testing out an idea.
π± What is IntraVybe?
IntraVybe is a lightweight social media app that allows users to:
- π· Post images (single or multiple)
- π Upload audio tracks (can be original music, voice notes, or podcast-style talks β we call these VybeTracks)
- π₯ Share short videos
- π¬ Chat & interact
- π€ Set up and edit their own profile, with full media history
- π Browse content based on category-style hashtags (simplified and organized differently from traditional tags)
Think of it as a sandbox for expression β audio-first meets visual storytelling.
βοΈ Tech Stack
- Flutter for cross-platform UI
- Firebase for authentication, real-time database, and storage
- AdMob (currently lightweight, to keep the UX clean)
-
Future plans include:
- π§ Geocache + Time Capsule features
- π§° Advanced in-app editing tools
- π Analytics dashboard for creators
π§ͺ The Hard Part: Adoption
The biggest challenge now is getting people to care in a saturated market. Iβve focused on building a clear value proposition:
- Creators who donβt fit into the YouTube or Spotify mold can easily share ideas/audio/images in one place.
- You donβt need professional gear or editing knowledge to share.
- You wonβt be buried by algorithms β weβre focusing on simplicity and community discovery.
π How You Can Help
π¬ Iβd deeply appreciate:
- Honest feedback on UX or performance (It's currently for Android)
- Suggestions on early growth / retention
- Or just downloading and exploring the app!

Thanks for reading! I know the journey ahead is long β but shipping this meant everything to me. If youβve ever shipped something solo or rebuilt the same feature for the fifth time at 3AM, you know the feeling π
Looking forward to connecting with fellow devs and creators!
